I gave my mother a big hug and gently wiped away her tears, saying, "It's all in the past now." Our hearts will be connected forever. Never again will we be separated."You've met some excellent adoptive parents. You ought to be content. In the future, we must pay them back. You would never have been reunited with us without them."Okay, baby, you ought to rest for a while. You've sustained serious injuries. When you feel better, you can begin exercising.My mother and father pulled me in and then turned to go. I stopped my father just as he was ready to depart. He whirled around and cast a bewildered gaze my way.Do you honestly believe that I can serve as Queen Regent, Father?"Of course!" he assured me with a chuckle. You will excel beyond all other rulers.The thought of sleep eventually took over my thoughts. I stopped fighting this sensation and shut my eyes. Such a lovely idea never crossed my mind as a possibility. I have to safeguard it at all costs. Robert Pierce’s pov I had been anxiously awaiting news regarding Lily, but in the back of my mind, I knew she couldn't be like the magician, who would suddenly appear under the lights and explain to everyone that it was all a joke.Along the stream, the pack looked for prey. Numerous things were discovered, including a stunning high heel, a shattered bracelet, and a bleeding piece of cloth. I also believed she couldn't possibly appear again because of this. A person was hurt after falling from such a steep cliff. There was no chance of her surviving, even if we couldn't locate her body.Mr. and Mrs. Wayne , who insisted on waiting to the end, were being consoled by my father. Ray joined the search team as well. While I was softly consoling them, my father's chin was dripping with perspiration. He had just crossed the river from the shore. They were all dazzled by the false hope, so I didn't go in with both feet. Those three hours had passed. She may have already selected a grave for herself if she were a weak and ignorant human.Ha, that was amusing merely to consider it. No one dared bring up the fact that everyone knew it. They intended to treat all animals equally; wasn't that the reason? Bullying the vulnerable was a crime as well. How absurd was that? Although we were a superior species, we had to bow down to a helpless human.It could be argued that rejecting Lily was the most successful thing I'd ever done or that I didn't do anything wrong. Despite the minor incident, it was preferable to her sticking by my side and dragging me down. I excelled as an Alpha. A weak partner didn't need to bring me down. She thankfully accepted my rejection. Otherwise, he would urge me to take it if my father knew we were friends.Lily wanted to be my mate, which I couldn't accept. If Lily weren't my mate, I wouldn't have objected to treating her with the so-called "respectful" attitude. I didn't want to be a delicate girl's daily servant, especially because she was a normal human with no special skills and was training much slower than the others. She was most likely deceased because her clothing was stained with blood. But despite their extensive search, they were unable to locate her body. She wouldn't have been able to travel very far if she had drowned. Her father had sent a team to look for her in the adjacent woodland, even if she had been taken there by a beast, because he was worried they would miss the chance to save this noble lady.Anyone with a brain would realize it was time to give up after three hours of fruitless searching. My father was thinking deeply while his eyes were locked on the cliff. He didn't request that the group of individuals slow down. How much time did we spend on this pointless search?Why would you squander a wonderful night on a corpse when everyone was exhausted? It was just a dead body. Even if they searched for it again tomorrow, it would still be there. Even if they were unable to locate it, nothing would change. By the time the sun rose the following morning, all of the tears that were being shed at the time would have dried up. No one really gave a damn about Lily besides her parents.I drew my father aside and said, "Father, let everyone go back and rest."My father's expression was one of deep remorse. He was really responsible, but I didn't want him to feel sorry for himself over something so trivial. Nothing he did was incorrect. On the contrary, my father's decision to adopt Lily at the time was already a wonderful present for Mr. and Mrs. Wayne ."But...""Father, we're all exhausted. Today can't go on forever. She is merely a person. I can't promise that if I fell from that height, let alone her, I'd be alive. You don't need to deceive yourself, Father.Then my father sighed deeply. His face was filled with despair and exhaustion, and his shoulders appeared to collapse. Although he had always been firm and assured since becoming an Alpha, watching him appear so devastated after losing a human made me understand that my father was elderly. His shoulders could no longer support this much weight.My father's quiet, though, only made me despise Lily more. She was such a weak human being. Did she believe that because her parents adored her, the world would revolve around her? This was only one of several rejections. In the future, she would encounter numerous rejections. Was she prepared to sacrifice her life to persuade the other person to concur?How was it fair that the entire pack searched for a vulnerable person in the middle of the night?My father tightened his hands and hesitated for a long time, but he nevertheless moved toward the pair and said, "I think we need to let everyone rest."Jim, it's getting quite late. Everyone is worn out.Mrs. Wayne struggled to smile while swiping tears from the corners of her eyes. "No worries. Each of us can comprehend. Lily is most likely.Everyone understood what she was about to say, even if she didn't complete her statement.To inform the searchers that it was time to leave the chilly stream and the shadowy forest and head back to a warm room where they could make themselves a cup of tea, lie in bed and watch TV, and not waste the rest of the night searching for a stubborn human girl, his father had sent out a mind-link to them.The atmosphere was tense when we returned together. She was most likely deceased because her clothing was stained with blood. But despite their extensive search, they were unable to locate her body. She wouldn't have been able to travel very far if she had drowned. Her father had sent a team to look for her in the adjacent woodland, even if she had been taken there by a beast, because he was worried they would miss the chance to save this noble lady.Anyone with a brain would realize it was time to give up after three hours of fruitless searching.
