Chapter 348

To Grizlo

~Liam~

The next day, I rose early, my bags already packed and ready for our journey to Grizlo. Miles was also awake, and it struck me that this was the first time we would be separated like this. I couldn’t help but wonder why our parents had chosen to send our team ahead of the others. The idea of reuniting in four months seemed puzzling as well. I knew I would miss them all, and it was evident that they were already feeling our absence.

Miles attempted to conceal his emotions, but I could sense that he would keenly feel Oliver’s absence. Marvin had no twin, so he was fine. Josephine and Charlotte would undoubtedly experience the same separation from their siblings. Even I would feel it because in tough times, Harper was always there to support me. Now, I had to carry on without my twin. Although four months might appear to be a brief period, it was certain to feel like an eternity.

Despite my eagerness to strengthen my bond with Josephine, the thought of finding Sophia and ensuring her safety remained pressing. Oliver’s warnings echoed in my mind, and I resolved not to let things escalate to that point.

“We will be having breakfast together,” Uncle Leo’s words resounded in my head, making it clear that only the team members would join our parents for breakfast. Setting our luggage aside for the staff to load it into the van, Oliver and I made our way to the general dining room. As I approached the entrance, a familiar scent of dill enveloped my senses, confirming Josephine’s presence. I took a deep breath, and Oliver couldn’t help but chuckle as he understood what I was going through.

We entered the dining room, and to my surprise, only our fathers were present. Noah and Sebastien appeared ecstatic, and I couldn’t blame them; going on an adventure was a rare and thrilling experience.

Without hesitation, I took a seat beside Josephine, immediately sensing my father’s disapproval as I was supposed to sit at the tail end of the table.

“Alpha Justin can have the seat,” I declared, causing the rest of the team to burst into laughter while teasing Justin with his newfound title. Justin laughed and settled into the chair, but my father’s expression grew suspicious. He could sense that something was amiss, but I tried to act nonchalantly. Lord Alexei, too, seemed to be eyeing us with curiosity, and I hoped they wouldn’t figure it out for our own sake. Perhaps I needed to dial down our interactions a bit.

“I see you’re finally getting along with Liam, princess,” Alexei remarked aloud; it was obvious he wanted everyone to hear because he might as well have linked his daughter. I glanced at Josephine, who looked genuinely puzzled.

“We’ve always gotten along,” she innocently argued, though most of our fathers seemed to disagree.
