In the following days, Naira spent the majority of her time familiarizing herself with the operation of Adonis Light Club. She didn't have the assistance of a wolf, so if she didn't have the ability to adequately run the club, it would only be a matter of time before her status fell in the eyes of the Riverside Pack members. Therefore, her days were filled with paperwork and the gathering of information, while her nights were spent in the company of her children. One or two times, she felt as if someone was spying on her. But she shrugged off the ill feeling and continued with her tasks after recalling Daemon had introduced her to his staff as his future Werewolf Mistress. In such a manner, a week went by and the day of their shift into the Riverside Pack finally arrived. "Mom, are we really moving?" Wide-eyed and looking innocent, Zara asked with an uncertain expression. Naira's heart instantly melted when she looked into her daughter's clear, blue eyes. They resembled so much o

"Ira..." Zain couldn't believe his eyes. He knelt on his knee and nervously brushed the black coils out of the girl's face. When he got a clear view of her facial features, Zain imperceptibly trembled. He couldn't be mistaken. Though younger, the little girl was an exact replica of his Ira when she was 8... "You...little girl, what's your name? Where are your parents?" He anxiously asked. Zara curiously scanned the stranger, before her brows creased in a deep frown. "Handsome uncle, why do you look like my older brother? Though...your eyes look like mine?" She tilted her head in confusion and bafflement. The girl's cute expression tickled Zain's heart. However, his mind immediately began to spin when he heard her words. 'How could there be a person who looks like me and my brother?' Zara wondered. At this thought, a bright light twinkled in her eyes. "I know! You must be my Daddy! Mommy said I had my daddy's eyes and brother looked like him! I finally found my Dad! Daddy, let's

Naira trembled. The intensity of the man's eyes rendered her speechless. For as long as she could remember, Naira had only seen a gentle and tolerant look in the blue orbs. It was that look of accommodating and fulfilling her every wish that had infuriated her. Though it was as gentle as water, it was also as shallow as a puddle. In that look, she had never felt any security. The only feeling she had perceived from it was the fragile concern of a wanna-be brother that could shatter and disperse with the kiss of a gentle breeze. However, this time Zain's eyes bespoke of a truth she was too scared to accept, lest it turned out to be a manifestation of her deepest desires. It spoke of a strong determination and a firm resolve that wouldn't bend under any blow. "A complete family? Zain, what kind of a complete family do you wish to give our children? In case you forgot, we are divorced!" Though her heart ached, Naira grabbed his hands and removed them from her cheeks. "And just so yo

Once out in the chilly wind, Naira sighed tiredly and trudged her way to the stone house allocated to her and her kids. "Another clash with Princess Celia?" A slight breeze ushered her scent, before Aisha scurried to her side. Naira smiled and helplessly replied. "When has there ever been peace between us?" "You know, I kind of understand her feeling. Before you appeared, she had been set to become the strongest female authority of the largest pack in the East. Sadly, she wasn't born a werewolf." "Hehe. You make it sound like I'm one." "Hey, even though you can't shift, you still have werewolf blood. That's a hundred times better than the princess with pure vampire genes." Aisha deadpanned. Naira helplessly shook her head and refrained from making any comment. The Riverside Pack strictly adhered to the ruling of ranks and hierarchy. Clustered around an ice mountain, from the outermost part of the packground to the center, the houses of the pack members were divided into the lo

Naira froze, then looked up at Zain in shocked disbelief. She and Zain...they were still husband and wife? How was that possible? They had already signed the papers! Her mind turned sluggish, and she wondered if it was possible to hallucinate from suppressed expectations. With her undying obsession with Zain Adeel, it wouldn't be surprising if that was the case. Only... The man's cold glare made it difficult for her to dismiss his frigid words. "You...what...did you just...say?" She stuttered. Seeing her confused expression, Zain's fury dissipated. Sighing helplessly, he rummaged through his clothes and withdrew a stack of documents. He sat beside her and cautiously spread out the wrinkled papers. "Ira, look carefully. See what this is." His fingers pointed at the bold letters at the top of the document, then slid down to their faded signatures at the bottom. "Our...divorce papers?" Why was he still holding onto them? With her heart hammering in her chest, Naira grabbed the
