Chapter 125

• The Queen mother stood nervously at the grand gate of the palace, her fingers anxiously fiddling with the strap of her handbag. Her gaze darted between the stern faces of the guards stationed at the entrance.
• "Please," she began, her voice barely above a whisper, "I wish to speak with the alpha and his sister... Please grant me permission to see them..."
• "We're sorry, Ma'am," one of the guards responded, his tone firm yet respectful. "But the alpha has explicitly stated that you are no longer permitted within the royal palace. We cannot go against his orders."
