Ellis let out a dry laugh, shaking her head as she leaned back in her chair. "Honestly? I've got nothing right now," she said, her voice tinged with exasperation. "I wouldn't even know where to start explaining this to someone without it sounding like the plot of a bad soap opera."

"Alright," she said after a moment, her tone steadying. "Since you can't pick your family, we'll just have to play the hand we've been dealt."

She stared at Astrid across the table, her mind still swirling with disbelief. Was he serious? Of course, he was serious. No one dropped news like this as a joke. Still, she couldn't shake the mental image of herself flopping dramatically onto the floor like a character in a bad drama. Instead, she drained her second cup of tea and immediately poured a third.

This is sooo long. Bia must have been furious by now to roast his hair on fire the moment her emerges out of the sea of consciousness. Thank you for the updates dear author.
Our boy has grown stronger! Looking forward to his journey ahead.

But Ellis is right. It's not just about Wulf's feeling but his focus might change because of the circumstances where he has to act as general and focus on his duty where his personal life will take a backseat and he may not be able to protect Astrid or his family.
Astrid met Ellis' gaze, a confident smile playing on his lips. "If it's Wulf, that's a gamble I'm more than willing to take."
