Crystal's POV:
In the morning, after I updated Beta Jeb on some important matters, I got into the car to head to the imperial capital.
I'd intended to drop by the camp to sneak in one last look, but I was told that I was running late. I might not make it to the reception banquet prepared by the lycan king for the major packs in time.
I had no choice but to let it go.
In the end, I thought that perhaps this wasn't a bad thing. If the kids saw me, they wouldn't let me leave.
The car passed through the city center slowly. It was morning market time, so the streets were crowded.
I was huddled in a blanket as I peeked out the window at the prosperous scene. I had never expected that this border pack could be so prosperous and stable.
As the hardships and confusions of the past few years flashed through my mind, I suddenly felt that everything was worth it.
I was feeling groggy, when two small figures suddenly darted into my line of sight.
I instantly sat up straight. I eagerly looked out, wanting to take a closer look at them, but they had disappeared.
"Stop the car."
I asked the driver to stop the car and opened the window to carefully study my surroundings.
The two children had vanished into thin air.
Was I hallucinating because I missed my kids so much?
"Alpha, what's wrong?" The driver turned around to eye me in confusion.
I shook my head and rolled the window up again. "Nothing. Let's go."
The car began moving forward again. I rubbed my temples and felt a slight headache coming on. It seemed that I didn't have the capacity to stay up late anymore.
The journey was long. After we crossed the city limits, I lay on the seat, wanting to sleep, but it eluded me. So I sat up and watched a movie on my tablet.
