I knew I had to sort out my own feelings before I could even attempt to make things right between us.As I walked into my room, my mind was racing with thoughts.

Finally, I took her up to the highest part of the tower, where the view was truly breathtaking. The mountains were covered in snow and ice, glistening in the sunlight. Calla was in awe, and I felt a sense of pride in being able to show her such beauty.After spending some time enjoying the view, I walked Calla back to her room.

I picked up a report on the progress around the fortress, and my eyes scanned the page, taking in every detail.According to the report, our troops had been making steady progress in fortifying the walls of the fortress. The construction of new watchtowers was almost complete, and the archers stationed on the walls were receiving additional training to improve their accuracy.I noted that our scouts had reported increased enemy activity along the western border, and I knew that we needed to prepare for an attack. I made a mental note to allocate additional resources to the western watchtowers and increase the number of troops stationed in that area.As I read further, my attention was drawn to a section of the report that detailed an attempted infiltration by the enemy into the fortress.

Calla's POVAs the acting alpha, it was important for me to meet with the elders of the pack. They were the pillars of our pack, and I needed to hear their voices and opinions on how to move the pack forward. I had invited them all to the meeting room, and I sat at the head of the table, ready to hear what they had to say.The first to speak was Alpha Roland. He reported that the patrols around the fortress had increased, and they had not found any signs of danger. The pack was safe for now.

I wanted to do something that would allow me to relax and unwind, and what better way than to indulge in some much-needed self-care?I decided to do it myself without the help of the maids.I started my day off with a long, cold shower. The icy water sent shivers down my spine, but it also helped to invigorate my senses. I took my time, enjoying the sensation of the water against my skin, and the refreshing feeling that washed over me.Once I was done, I wrapped myself in a fluffy towel and headed to my bedroom.
