Chapter 143

• Vanessa’s POV
• Alfie took a step back, his posture shifting into a submissive stance. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of disbelief wash over me. This was Alfie, the proud and arrogant son of the Alpha King, bowing his head before me.
• In the world of werewolves, submitting to another was a profound gesture, one that carried weight and significance far beyond the moment itself. It was a sign of respect, acknowledging the authority and dominance of another wolf. For Alfie, the act of submission was a startling departure from his usual demeanor of pride and arrogance, from the way he had belittled me since my eighteenth birthday.
