Becoming a Wolf Queen - Chapter 11
Ari and his grandfather were having a lot of fun. When we got out of the helicopter, we saw a huge crowd of people standing at the hospital door.
They were made out of doctors and nurses who were standing by. Ari was out of danger after the surgery thanks to the best doctors and medicine.
He was able to walk after one week. My father reconstructed the huge garden in the hospital into a children’s park.
There were swings, small trains, and a merry-go-round. Everything was there.
He handed Heavenly Wolf Pack’s authority over to me.” I’m old now. I should have retired sooner to accompany my grandson. It’s time you took over all the work.”
I quickly rejected his offer.
“Ari is still in the hospital. I have to take care of him.”
“Isn’t it enough with me around?” My father glared at me. “Hmph! Getting busy will stop you from harboring wild thoughts. I don’t want to see you wiping away your tears secretly.”
I knew my father was worried that I did not mean it when —- I said I no longer loved Rook. We ended up exchanging roles.
My father took Ari everywhere to have fun while I got busy managing Heavenly Wolf Pack. I guess I was born to work.
Every time I saw Ari, he would run to me laughing and hug me tight while telling me how much he missed me.
However, he would abandon me and run off the moment my father showed him a toy. Poor Ari.
I was always busy before and seldom took him anywhere fun. Seeing him so happy made me happy and sad at the same time.
My mother returned early from her vacation and rushed home to Heavenly Wolf Pack.
She was inspired to start cooking and was always finding ways to cook ‘great food’ for my father and Ari.
I would often see my father and Ari making their escape while my mother chased behind them with a pot.
This made me think about how I should have left Rook earlier. How nice would it be if I did that…
I turned and saw a handsome, elegant man walking —- toward me from afar.
He leaned against a tree and smiled. It was a delightful surprise for me.
“What are you doing here, Adrian?” We were playmates when we were younger. His family had businesses with fifty to sixty packs.
He was the one who lent me the helicopter to come home.
“Same as here. I plan to be back for good.”
“That’s great. Let me know if you need anything.” He smiled.
There was a spark in his eyes.
“There’s no hurry. We have a long time ahead of us.”
Half a month later, the steward who returned with me to Heavenly Wolf Pack told me that a servant from Moon Shadow Pack had something to inform me.
“Master Rook is almost breaking down from your absence during this time, Your Highness.”
After Anna was discharged from the hospital, Rook brought Sera and Anna home. Their once-perfect life was now a mess.
The new servants kept messing up the things at home, while the cooks could never get Rook’s food right.
Even his driver kept making wrong turns.
