Chapter 116

• Vanessa’s POV
• I sat in the serene garden, the gentle rustle of leaves and the distant chirping of birds providing a soothing backdrop to my turbulent thoughts. The sun cast dappled patterns of light and shadow across the lush greenery, creating a tranquil atmosphere. Despite this, my mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, and I found myself lost in contemplation, which had become an unhealthy habit of late.
• Memories of recent encounters with Alpha Alexander flooded my thoughts, each one a painful reminder of our strained relationship. The hurt and confusion weighed heavily on my heart, making it difficult to find solace even in the beauty of the surroundings. I had seen Alpha Alexander earlier, a fleeting moment that had left me reeling with a mixture of longing and disappointment. His indifference had cut deep, stirring up a storm of emotions within me. Despite my efforts to maintain composure, the hurt threatened to overwhelm me, leaving me feeling adrift and alone.
