Edens Pov.I sat in my office, turning my chair while twirling a pennin my hands. It was really stressful to be a prince and the next in command.

When we both sat I asked the underlying question in my mind."And to what do I owe this special visit Delvin?" "Can't I have a little conversation with my little brother amd soon-to-be Alpha?" He said convincingly.A smile erupted on my lips, at least he wasn't angry anymore. "Oh oh, sorry for my rudeness just now." I said hastily. "What would you like to drink ?"Delvin waved me off.

Helen’s pov I could feel the wetness of my fluid against my cheeks and the cracking of every bit of me.“Eden, I know nothing about this. I would never try to hurt Father. He did nothing wrong to me and always loves me like his daughter.” My voice went lower and lower, and I took a break to have my vocal cords intact.“I never said you did it. Never did I mention I didn't trust you. All I need is an answer to my troubled mind. How? Why? I can’t just think of it.”He ran his fingers repeatedly while I tried running through my clouded mind.“Could it be the perfume Mandy gifted me?” I asked him after a clear thought. “Since the test was done on my clothing material, it is just the perfume I used and have been using,” I added when he eyeballed me.“I knew it.” He jumped to his feet, grabbing his car key, “My mind has been there.
