Chapter 120

• Alpha Alexander’s POV
• As days passed in a blur of ceaseless activity within the palace, my mind remained preoccupied by the conspicuous absence of Vanessa. Despite my efforts to seek her out, she remained elusive, noticeably absent from the palace corridors. Alfie rebuffed all attempts at communication, and Cyrus seemed to have vanished into the shadows. Even Amelia, my steadfast companion, appeared to be keeping her distance, her usual warmth replaced by reticence.
• Was I so consumed by the demands of my new role that I had inadvertently neglected those closest to me? The thought gnawed at me, filling me with unease. Had I become so preoccupied with the trappings of power that I had lost sight of what truly mattered? The sense of isolation grew with each passing day, compelling me to reflect on the significance of their absence.
