Chapter 28

Journey To The Wolf Conference

Alpha Kingsley’s POV

The journey to the wolf conference continued in silence.

We both stayed quiet, lost in our own thoughts after what had happened between us. Yet the silence did not feel awkward.

It wasn’t heavy or uncomfortable instead, it felt calm.、

Peaceful.

Almost comforting.

The quiet settled around us, like a shield keeping everything else away.

Outside, the road stretched far ahead, winding through the forest. It looked old like it had been there for years, carved into the earth by time itself. Tall trees stood on both sides, their thick branches reaching across the road and forming a natural cover above us.

Sunlight slipped through the leaves in soft rays, falling onto the ground in scattered patterns as the carriage moved forward.

The driver guided the horses carefully, keeping a steady pace.

This time, there were no sudden bumps or rough movements. 1

It almost felt like he understood the mood inside the carriage and chose not to disturb it.

The wheels rolled smoothly along the road.

Aside from the quiet sound of the wheels and the steady rhythm of the horses, the forest had its own life.

Birds chirped softly from the trees.

Insects buzzed gently in the background.

From time to time, the distant cry of a wild animal echoed through the woods.

The wind moved through the trees, making the leaves sway in a slow, steady rhythm.

Everything felt calm and peaceful.

Alive..

Olivia sat by the window, completely drawn to the view outside.

Her eyes were bright with curiosity as she watched everything outside, the birds flying from branch to branch, a deer running quickly between the trees, the sunlight touching the ground.

Every now and then, she let out a soft sound of wonder.

It was clear she didn’t want to miss a single moment.

As if she was trying to take it all in before it disappeared.

But slowly, the long journey began to affect her.

Her eyelids grew heavy.

She blinked again and again, trying to keep them open.

She didn’t want to fall asleep.

Not when everything outside was so beautiful.

But her body was getting tired

Her shoulders relaxed, her breathing slowed and her head started to tilt slightly.

At first, she caught herself and straightened up again, forcing her eyes open.

But it didn’t last.

Sleep came back quickly.

Her head leaned toward the window.

Then it rolled back.

Then forward again.

Her body swayed slightly with the movement of the carriage as she slowly drifted off.

From where I sat, I watched her quietly.

Each time her head knocked lightly against the wooden side of the carriage, I frowned slightly.

She didn’t even notice.

She was already too tired.

With a quiet breath, I leaned forward.

Before her head could hit the window again, I reached out and gently pulled her toward me.

Carefully, I guided her into my arms.

Her head came to rest against my chest.

Without thinking, my arm wrapped around her shoulders, holding her steady.

For a brief moment, she moved slightly.

A soft sound left her lips as she shifted in my arms.

Then she settled.

She moved closer, resting more comfortably against me.

Her body slowly relaxed, as if it had finally found a place to rest.

Something about that feeling stirred inside me.

Her breathing became soft and even.

Her body fit against mine naturally, like it belonged there.

The thought stayed in my mind for a moment.

But I didn’t show anything on my face.

I simply leaned back and let her sleep.

Argon stirred quietly inside me.

I didn’t respond.

But this time, his voice didn’t sound demanding.

It sounded certain.

The carriage continued moving for hours.

Slowly, the thick forest began to thin out.

The trees became fewer, and small wooden houses appeared along the road.

Smoke rose from cooking fires, carrying a faint smell through the air.

We were getting close to a town.

The horses slowed down as we approached the entrance.

The change in movement caused Olivia to shift slightly in my arms.

Her eyes opened slowly.

She blinked a few times, still half asleep.

Then she realized where she was.

A light blush spread across her cheeks.

I acted like I didn’t notice.

“Olivia,” I said quietly.

My voice came out softer than usual.

“We’ll be stopping here for a while.”

She lifted her head slightly and looked up at me.

“This will give you a chance to stretch your legs,” I added. “And maybe eat something.”

She nodded slowly, still waking up.

“Hmmm…”

The carriage came to a stop.

Outside, the small town was lively.

People moved along the road.

Shopkeepers arranged their goods.

Children ran around, laughing as they played between the houses.

The guards and attendants traveling with us began getting down from their horses and carriages

I stepped down first.

Then I turned back toward her and held out my hand.

She hesitated for a moment.

Then she placed her hand in mine.

I helped her down carefully.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, she stretched slightly, rolling her shoulders after sitting for so long.

The warm breeze moved gently through her hair.

For a moment, she just stood these, looking around.

Taking everything in.

The town, the people and the feeling of being outside again.

And I stood beside her, watching quietly.

Observing every small reaction, every expression.

Because something told me to hold on to this moment.
