Chapter 290 How Time Flies

• The afternoon sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden glow over Crystal’s garden. She stood by the flowerbed, her hands moving rhythmically as she watered her blooming roses. Their delicate petals, kissed by the warmth of summer, swayed gently in the breeze. A soft smile played on her lips as she admired the vibrant colors—pinks, reds, and whites intertwining like memories of days gone by. How quickly time flew. She could hardly believe that in a year, she would turn forty. It seemed like just yesterday that she had been a young girl, meeting Logan for the first time.
• Her thoughts drifted back to that moment, the way his intense gaze had pierced through her, making her heart skip a beat. She had fallen for him instantly, captivated by his strength, his confidence, and the way he moved like he owned the world. Now, decades later, their lives had changed in ways she could never have imagined. They had faced their struggles, but they had also built something beautiful—a family, a pack, a legacy.
• She sighed, the watering can in her hand growing lighter as the last drops of water sprinkled onto the soil. Standing up straight, she wiped her hands on her apron, gazing at the horizon with a faraway look. How things had shifted. Their children were no longer little. Aidan was off in the world, making a life for himself, and Anna—her precious Anna—was about to be announced as the first female Alpha of the New Dawn Pack. It was a bittersweet thought, watching her children grow, knowing that soon they would be carving their own paths.
