Emma's Pov
After lunch, Charlotte wanted me to play with her. However, I needed to find that black, blue, and red cat that supposedly held the healing potion for Ava.
"I promise, as soon as I cure my best friend, I'll play with you. Okay?" I say, crouching in front of Charlotte, who is still seated at the table. Her light green eyes narrow at me as if weighing whether my proposal is enticing enough for her.
"Okay, deal, Emma." Charlotte extends her short arm, and I grasp her hand as if sealing an agreement. I plant a kiss on the top of her head before leaving the kitchen.
Alpha Matthew is in conversation with Beta Liam when I reach the hallway leading to the office. They both seem tense and don't notice my presence right away. Matthew is dressed in casual business attire, a navy blazer
