Chapter 14
The dining room is a symphony of clinking plates and whispered conversations among the servants as lunchtime approaches. Lycan King Clint, his imposing figure adorned in regal attire, descends the stairs with a fluffy mood and
excitement.
However, His thick eyebrows furrowed and wrinkles deepen as he scans the empty dining hall, puzzled by the absence of his family.
“Where is everyone?” he inquires sharply, his voice cutting through the ambient noise.
A servant, bustling about to set the table, pauses respectfully and bows. “Young Masters and Children are in the backyard, King! They’re training!”
Training? At this hour?” King Clint’s tone holds a mix of surprise and concern.
Lunchtime presents a rare opportunity for Lycan King Clint to spend precious moments with his beloved grandchildren. Amidst the busy schedules that often keeps him away from them throughout the day, this midday gathering becomes a perfect time to see them and talk to them.
He strides towards the backyard. Through the grand doors leading to the expansive garden, he finds them the young heirs to his lineage, doing their own jobs.
Approaching quietly, King Clint leans against a pillar, content to simply observe. His stern demeanor softens into a gentle smule as he watches them. Each of them is talented with different things. The kids have their own charisma and talent. Despite being four years old, both of them surprised him with lots of talents throughout their lives. Still proving that they’re indeed his blood.
*Carlos, Killian’ It’s lunchtime. What are you doing out there with the kids?” Knowing this beautiful scenery has to be destroyed since they can’t just play with kids under this scorching summer heat, he calls them immediately.
“Grandpa!” Bryan shouts and waves his hand,” Grandpa! Uncle Killian and Uncle Carlos They- They taught me how to hold swords!” He grins, spinning his toy sword.
Really? That’s great! But let’s go home. I will take you two in the woods tonight!”
Scarlet, who is just sunbathing with her book, looks at her grandpa with jittery eyes. On your back?” She asks
Of course, On my back! So, let’s go!”
Yaayyyy! Bryan Jumps off the training field and runs to Clint
“Yay-!” Scarlet makes a weak noise, sipping her smoothie and eyes are the book,
Seeing her being nonchalant about it, Carlos and Killian laugh. She is seriously the opposite of Bryan. She will read books and make no sound or disturbances. But Bryan is enough to keep the house on fire.
Shall we go? Princess! Carlos lifts her and puts the hat on her head.
1 have two more pages to finish! She yawns and holds her book with that tiny hands.
I was really surprised when Karla called and said Scarlet started writing the alphabets at the age of three Killian recalls those days when Benedetta informed the kids’ super fast development. Bryan is a slow learner but he has the capacity to understand people’s expression Reading their face like a book is not a big deal.
That’s why he constantly asked about Spencer who looks usually cold and indifferent but to Bryan, he was sad.
Bryan’s strength has gotten everyone’s attention as well. He is like his uncles who are fans of swords and horse riding.

“Where are Karla and Diego? They’re supposed to be at home by now! Clint asks while entering the Mansion
“I heard she went to deliver the divorce papers to Spencer.” Killian responds.
1
Divorce papers? When did she draft it?”
The previous one. She just signed and – Wait a minute! Killian pauses momentarily a knowledge of laws.
and looks at Carlos who has a vast
“Is this still valid?” –
Carlos glances at them with a deep frown,” No. The first drafted divorce papers become invalid within two years according to our pack’s law. I’m afraid that SpringVille has the same rules as ours since our packs were under the same Alpha when the laws were established!”
That’s bad. We have to talk to her. Since it may trouble us later
Carlos nods in agreement with Killian. Since they know about her identity. To abuse the marriage between them, they may play dirty.
“Don’t worry. I will call my attorney to prepare them as fast as possiblet Clint asks,
However, they have no idea that Scarlet and Bryan are glancing at each other. Scarlet who reads lots of books about the history of the packs and other books. The word- Divorce isn’t new to her. She has read this world multiple times in history books where previous Alphas and Lunas got divorced. So divorce means being separated from their spouses isn’t a hard thing for her to understand.
Go and freshen up! Kids. We will have lunch together!’ Clint less them go in their room and decides to call Benedetta and Diego.
In the meantime,
Scarlet places the book on the table and looks at Bryan who is standing behind her with full anticipation.
“What is di-divorce? Scarlet?” He blinks his eyes with curiosity.
Scarlet grabs her dress to change and proceeds to enter the bathroom.
Oii! What is Divorce? Why would Divorce play dirty?” He follows her like a curious doggy.
It’s not something you should know!” Scarlet shakes her head and throws her hair behind like a gorgeous lady full of knowledge.
“I am older than you… Five minutes! I should know about it!” He pouts, sulking.
“Then you should study and read books!”
“Aren’t you going to tell me what it is!?” He repeats coldly
Nope. Kids shouldn’t know. Also it’s not our problem. We have father!”
What’s the connection between father and a divorce?”
Scarlet roams around the room to avoid being caught by him and he follows her with questions.
Can you stop following me like a dog?” She rolls her eyes.
“Then you should answer me instead of being so overbearing He rolls his eyes back.

Chapter 14.
You should learn about it then! Go and study!”
I hate studying. Also Dad said I am too young to study right now!”
Then you are
young to know what divorce is!” She retorts
u are too yo
“Hah!!! Just accept that you
don’t know about it!” He snoris.
“Who said I don’t know? You are an idiot. I am not!”
You are. Otherwise you would have answered it already!”
I am not obligated to answer your question!”
You are. You always avoid the questions which you aren’t aware of. Just admit that! You little chipmunk!”
” I said I know that. Don’t you understand?” She screams at him. Almost getting angry.
Then prove it. don’t trust people who are full of words!”
It sounds like you!” She scoffs.
don’t know about it! Hump!
“Just accept that you d
Scarlet’s face turns red with anger. She clenches her fist and looks at him with tearful eyes, “You idiot!” She sniffles,
Bryan is startled seeing her sniffling. He immediately covers his mouth and agitates. “I am sorry! It’s fine if you don’t want to say -**
“It means Mom is going to leave our real father. Divorce means she will never be with him!” She starts crying loudly.
Oh! Don’t cry. I’m-1 am sorry. I- I shouldn’t have asked. Brother is sorry!” He hugs her tightly and keeps apologizing.
Aren’t- Aren’t we going to meet him anymore? I-I really want to meet my father. I want to ask him why he-he hurt Mom, I want to – I want to scold him too! Wahhhh!”
Bryan’s eyes fill with tears when she starts crying. No matter what both of them are besties. If any of them is hurt, the other one will be in pain as well.
Bryan keeps patting her head and comforts her. But one thing he has realized, “Is his name Spencer?”
Scarlet wipes her face and nose on his Tee and looks at him with confusion. “What do you mean?” She asks.
Didn’t Uncle mention that Mom went to give the divorce papers to Spencer. That means Spencer is our father!”
Who-Who is Spencer?”
“I don’t know.” He shrugs.
How will we find out who he is. There must be lots of Spencer out there!” She looks defeated.
“Why are you worrying about it? Scarlet. Your brother will always protect you!” He grins pridefully.
Scarlet rolls her eyes, “You are the one who hides behind me always! I’ll protect you!” She wipes her nose again.
“Ewww!!! Why are you dirtying ray clothes?” He jumps away from lier and yells.
“To protect me, you have to sacrilice your life. Can’t you sacrifuge your clothes?” She grabs her dress. Dummy!” Sticking her tongue out, she runs inside

“Just wait for my chance! He runs out fuming
Scarlet sighs deeply. She thought she would find those answers that she had been waiting to ask her father.
I will find him. No matter what. I must ask him why he hurt my mother!”
