A kid?!
The person who planted those herbs was a kid?
My mouth hung open as I stared at the little girl in front of me, her tiny hand stretched out for a handshake, while I was still too busy trying to wrap my head around the fact that the pack’s shaman was a child who couldn’t have been more than seven… maybe even six.
She was adorable, short and slim, her hair tied up in a high ponytail. And when she smiled up at me, I could clearly see a missing front tooth. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she waited for me to take her hand.
When I didn’t move right away, still frozen in surprise, Cassian stepped beside me and leaned in slightly, whispering,
“Miss, this is the pack shaman–Dorothy.”
His words snapped me out of my daze, and I quickly reached out with a nervous smile, taking her tiny hand in mine.
“Ah, so you’re the pack’s shaman. It’s nice to meet you! I’m sorry, I was just… surprised,” I said, laughing awkwardly.
Her grin widened as she clasped my hand tightly.
“Nice to meet you too! I’ve been waiting to see the woman the Moon Goddess blessed the king with. You’re really beautiful, my lady!” she beamed.
Her voice was so bright and excited but just as the words left her lips, I heard a soft scoff.
My gaze flicked to Darius. He hadn’t turned around once. His legs and arms were crossed, eyes fixed on nothing in particular.
I couldn’t stop the sneer that curled on my lips.
Hmph. It’s not like I wanted to be his mate, either.
I turned my attention back to Dorothy, only to find her still watching me with wide–eyed awe.
Her gaze clung to me with something close to fascination, and I blinked, caught off guard.
Huh? Why was she staring at me like that… like I was something extraordinary?
“Dorothy, what did I say about staring at people for too long?” Cassian asked, and the girl blinked before shifting her gaze to him, rolling her eyes with a pout but she didn’t argue back.
“And what did I also say about eating too many of these snacks? They’re not good for you, young lady,” he scolded again.
She lifted her chin in defense. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. And would you stop disturbing me and step out? I’m about to begin the session with the king and his mate, Beta Cassian. You’re intruding”
I watched, expecting Cassian to be annoyed by her bold words but instead, he just smiled and reached out to ruffle her head with a grin.
“Alright, alright, lil fighter. But I’m getting rid of all these snacks by the time I come back,” he teased before turning to Darius, who

had been quiet the entire time. Cassian lowered his head slightly in respect.
“I’ll be outside with Drake, my king. Please send me a mind–link if you need me.” Darius didn’t even glance at him in response.
Cassian simply lifted his head again, turned to me with a small wave, and headed out.
As soon as he stepped out the door, my hand was once again clasped by the little girl. I watched as she bounced excitedly, eyes glued to me with a wide grin.
“Do you really have a white wolf? Are you really the blessed white wolf that hasn’t been seen in so many centuries? Do you?! Was my prophecy correct?” she asked, and I couldn’t believe that this was the reason she’d been looking at me like that with so much excitement.
What did I tell you, Sheila said at the back of my mind with a smug chuckle. I told you I was special, that you were lucky to have me. But do you appreciate me? Nooo. Meanwhile, this little girl does, hehe. Do you see how excited she is?
Sheila bragged without a hint of shame, and I was this close to scoffing out loud.
“You know, I had a prophecy about you some weeks ago, and I told the king but he didn’t believe me!” Dorothy said, before clearing her throat and puffing out her chest with a proud smile.
“My king, I received a vision last night, and I’m pleased to inform you that the white wolf you’ve been searching for has finally reappeared after years of extinction. The one who bears it is closer than you think.” She suddenly said, puffing her chest out.
My eyes narrowed at her as she jumped higher, practically buzzing with energy.
“I said that! I was the one who told Darius that prophecy. Do you know how many of my ancestors have been trying to find the white wolf for the king? And I did it!”
She pointed to herself proudly, laughing.
“I was the one who found you! I just know Mama would be so proud of me right now!”
As I heard her words, I lifted a brow.
From what she’d just said, her ancestors had been searching for a white wolf for Darius–and she had been the one to finally find
one.
Me.
My eyes widened as I lifted my head to look at Darius. So I was right. The reason he brought me here… it was because I was a white
wolf.
That was also why he’d asked me to shift into my wolf that day.
But… for what purpose?
Why would Darius be searching for a white wolf for so many centuries?
“Why-“I opened my mouth, about to ask.
But before I could, a cold voice cut through the air, making both the girl and me freeze.
