20... Mrs. Brown batted her eyes a few seconds after Zander left the sight of her eyes. It was hard to take that reply from him. He didn't sound like himself at all. "Mummy, Zany has returned. Can I go to play with him?" Little Milan halted at the entrance of the kitchen whilst asking for permission from her mom. Only if little Milan could understand that her mother had not heard her words, she would know that she was not going to get an answer. Mrs. Brown was too shocked by Zander's reply to focus on her daughter that was waiting for her answer. Milan patiently waited for her response. The little cub played with her fingers as her cute dove like eyes watched her mother's colourless face. She waited until her patience answered. And when Mrs. Brown did not attend her interrogation, she turned around and nearly caught speed as her legs hit further to meet her brother. 

 Mrs. Brown walked inside the main doors with a small smile placed on her mouth. She had Milan in her arms who was still sobbing a little bit. Whatever that happened at the house needed to be discussed, but at the moment she could not do anything except for forcing her lips into a grin and pretending as though everything was okay with her. “Pardon me, just got busy with some work at home. I hope I didn’t make any of you wait,” she spoke with half hearted expressions. “I am sorry if I did so”  She had just advanced near the couch when Luna stood up, “Oh no, you are not. We just gathered in here.

From the starry sky to the chirping of the night insects, from the silent ripple playing along the silence in the atmosphere to the rhythmic beating of his own heart— everything around annoyed Zander to an extreme level. He wiped his mouth and clenched his teeth tight as his legs moved ahead against his consent. He was not ready to move but his body was working on its own. That is how he perceived it. All in all, whatever that was happening was not happening as per his will. And that seemed like a frustrating parasite was drinking on his blood. It happened even when he didn't want it to.  "Zane..."

 23"He is really handsome! You will like him too." His eyes found her emotionless facade with a grin creeping on his mouth. Reyne cannot deny that there was pure joy on his cheeks. The unknown glint of hope in his shimmering eyes make her believe that he was happy just by the thought of having his daughter mated to a decent guy. By the looks, Reyne knew, her father did not mean anything about the physical appearance. All that his words wanted to convey about the Gamma's offspring was that she would be happy with him. Reyne lowered her eyes as she controlled her increasing sorrow. Last night she got happy when he allowed her to stay home rather than joining him to the gathering. But now this! It was like life was playing a dirty revenge game with her. It neither wanted her to experience happiness nor be sad for more than a while. Happiness and sadness came one by one, and in line, for her.&nbs
