Anastasia aka Clara's pov
It was night.
Lady Valerie reported to me that everyone had left the grand hall.
As for the nine Alphas, president Michael and those they came with to the shadows' pack, she told me that they had settled in, in the guests' mansions.
She also reported that Lucinda and Alpha Dylan didn't come to the guests' mansions and were nowhere to be found.
I easily guessed where they were at the moment. Probably in a hospital.
After Fireball and Irving fell asleep, I left my bedroom and went to the kitchen, as I was thirsty and needed to drink water.
I found a glass cup on the kitchen shelf, and after rinsing the cup, I walked to the water dispenser and stood in front of it, before filling the cup with water, and directing the cup to my mouth and drinking the water in it.
When the water in the cup reached halfway, I heard a faint noise and sensed a familiar aura.
