The Next Morning
After everything that happened yesterday, a new day begins. I barely slept, staying up all night watching over my father.
His condition still hasn't changed, and the responsibility presses on my shoulders. Now, I need to go home and get some rest, but my mind won't stop racing.
Luna Catherine left with a guard last night, but I can't stop thinking about the way she winked at him.
What was that about? Was it just an innocent gesture, or is something else going on?
Before Alpha Derrick and Mona's engagement, I need to be with my father. He's vulnerable, and I can't leave him alone.
No one else will take care of him the way I do. If I step away, he'll be ignored—just like he has been for years.
Leaving the hospital, I hail a taxi. The security guards from yesterday are gone, so there's no one to drive me home.
