To say that I was beyond confused would be an understatement.
I had no idea what was going on. Was he seriously mad at me… for wearing a white dress?
But this wasn’t the first time I’d worn white in front of him, so why… why was he staring at me like he wanted nothing more than to have my head right
now?
I stared back at him in silent confusion, a slight frown tugging at the corner of my lips.
I could feel everyone’s gaze on us, the tension in the air so thick it felt like it would explode any second. And as his gaze narrowed on me, I could have sworn my heart stopped.
“Look, she hasn’t even been here for a day and she’s already angered the Alpha,” one of the maids whispered from the side.
“Right? Outsiders like her really lack ethics and respect,” another added.
As I continued to stare at Darius, I knew better than to let this blow up further. So, I forced a smile onto my face and responded,
“I apologize, Alpha. But I don’t understand-
-are you upset that I’m wearing white?” I asked, keeping my voice steady despite the knot in my chest.
Darius’s eyes moved from my face and slowly trailed down my body. As he watched me, his jaw clenched in clear frustration.
But instead of reacting the way I expected, he simply took a deep breath and looked away.
“Do not wear white anymore. Choose any other color except that,” he said firmly.
My smile widened slightly, and I lowered my head in response.
“Okay, Alpha. I understand,” I replied politely.
When I lifted my head again, just in time to see the deepened frown on his face, he turned and walked away without another word.
As I watched him disappear around a corner, the polite smile slipped from my lips. A scoff escaped me, and I fought the urge to roll my eyes.
What the hell was his problem? Why was he so against me wearing white? He had said something about me looking like her…
Wait–did he mean his late mate?
“Please don’t mind the King or think too much about it,” Cassian said suddenly, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I turned to look at him as he gave me a nervous smile.
“Actually,” he continued, “I think the reason the Alpha was upset is because… you reminded him of his late mate.”
I raised a brow at that.
“His late mate?”
He nodded.
“My grandfather used to tell me that the late Luna loved wearing white and always left her hair down, just like you are right now. I guess in that moment… you really reminded him of her. This is my fault, I should’ve informed the maids before they brought the clothes.”
As soon as he said that, Sandra, who had been silent the whole time stepped forward and lowered her head slightly.

“No, this is all my fault. Forgive me, I should have taken note of such things.” She lifted her head and met my gaze.
“Forgive me, Miss. It won’t happen again.”
I blinked at both her and Cassian, seeing the guilty expressions on their faces. Quickly, I shook my head and smiled.
“You didn’t do anything wrong. It’s okay. I’ll just avoid wearing white while I’m here, haha,” I said, trying to diffuse the situation.
I wasn’t even sure if I had worn white when everyone was back in the Emberfang Pack, but maybe it was the environment that caused him to react like
that.
But whatever, it didn’t matter.
I didn’t care and I wouldn’t wear white anymore. I just wouldn’t.
I gave them a smile before picking up the spoon and continuing to eat.
After Darius left, the tension in the air immediately melted, and everyone resumed eating–including Serena, who I had asked Cassian for permission to join us.
Cassian had agreed with a smile, and as we ate, everyone chatted lightly.
“I heard about what happened to your ex and your best friend. Are you worried about them?” Cassian asked as he stuffed food into his mouth.
I watched as everyone shook their heads at him, clearly displeased that he had brought up something so heavy when we were talking about lighter things. He really couldn’t read the room.
“Beta Cassian,” Drake whispered his name in warning, but Cassian only looked back at him, confused, like he didn’t understand what he’d said wrong, causing me to smile slightly.
“Yes, I’m also curious about what happened,” Zayn cut in, his voice calm as he turned his gaze to me with a polite smile.
“I heard that while I was gone, a lot happened and some people even disappeared,” he added, tilting his head slightly. “I’m curious about everything.”
