NovelBookChapter 201: Little Boy Chapter 201: Little Boy Astrid's POV Ever since Beta Alek cback, my life has becpeaceful and easy lately. All my jobs as the acting Beta was passed back to Beta Alek now that he's back to take his position. For three years, I've been wishing to have an easy life where I don't have to deal with any problems and have the freedom to do what I want.
Now that I have what I want, why do I miss the twhen I was busy worrying and thinking about work again? "Here you are," Daphne's familiar voice sounded behind me.
I didn't bother to turn around. I knew it was her. Daphne is the only close friend that I had in the Shadowfang Pack. Aside from her, no one would bother to clooking forhere. "What's wrong?" Daphne asked as she stood beside me. "Thinking of Alpha Drystan again?" I scoffed when I heard her question. Every tthat I'm alone or deep in my thoughts, she always suspects that it has something to do with Drystan.
She is really so convinced that I have feelings for Drystan. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in practice? Do you wantto report to Beta Alek that you're out here slacking during practice?" "Okay, fine... Why do you have to be so serious? I was just asking you a question," Daphne frowned at me.

"W-wait!" Daphne grabbedby the arm, stopping me. "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you know that I left practice to meet you? I just miss you. I've never seen you ever since Beta Alek took place on your job." I sighed as I pulled Daphne's tight grip away from my arm. Daphne took a step back when she realized her mistake.
"I'm sorry for being rude, princess," Daphne held her hands together and bowed her head.
My eyes went wide as I faced her angrily. "Daphne, are you mocking me?!" I snapped at her.
Daphne gasped in surprise as she stood up straight. She didn't expect that I would take her actions differently. "Of course not! Aren't you the princess? I heard sof the invited guests had already arrived in advance. Your identity as a princess will finally be announced tomorrow. You should already get used to this kinds of formalities." I fell silent at her words. I've also heard that sguests have arrived already. It is also the reason why I'm out here alone in the gazebo. I'm avoiding meeting any guests.
"I know that, but as my friend, you shouldn't be addressingthat way. Do you not seeas your friend?" I questioned her.
I was really offended when she suddenly did that. It felt strange, and it was not right for her to do that because she was my friend.
"I'm sorry, Astrid," Daphne spoke in a soft voice as she lowered her gaze guiltily.
I sighed. "Don't worry about it. Now, go back and join your practice," I answered calmly.

The boy looked atwith a small frown on his face while covering his forehead with a hand.
I instantly felt bad, even though it was the little boy who bumped into me. I carefully removed his hand and blew on his aching forehead. "Is that much better?" I asked him with a smile.
The boy didn't respond. He just looked atwith a dumbfounded look on his face.
My smile slowly disappeared as I stared at him. I'd never seen him before, but somehow he felt familiar. Suddenly, my heart started beating rapidly out of nowhere. What is this? Who is he? "What's your name?" I asked him softly.
However, the little kid didn't respond. He just continued staring atas if something was also bothering his mind.
