Author's POV:

Years Ago:

The guard had fetched Alaric for the alpha king. Alaric had been waiting his entire life for the Alpha King’s attention. He was just one of the other servants, but it seemed like tonight might be his night.

“I have been hearing about your hard work and how you—," Alpha King paused to think of a compliment because he only knew of him because of Hazel, "How you mop the floors," he finished, rolling his eyes at the thought of complimenting a servant.

“That is very kind of you to notice your loyal servant.” Alaric had his hands clutched obediently before his body when speaking to Shaun.

“But that doesn't matter anymore. I have made a mistake, and now I am wondering how long before I get removed from this position."

Shaun let out a sigh when talking about the possibly worst day of his life.

Alaric didn't know anything, because Hazel never shared the secrets with him. She believed in taking her secrets to the grave.

“You know, my problem is not even myself. I am worried for — your wife," Shaun said, raising his face to watch the frown sprees a cover Alaric's forehead.
