Bab 27: Burning with envy

While Melissa was getting ready, Pia casually mentioned, "Young Lord Gregor is in the mansion."

Melissa froze mid-motion, her brush hovering over her hair. "What? Why?" she asked.

"I think someone informed him about your condition last night," Pia explained hesitantly. "He seemed furious. He even punched Alpha Radulf."

"He punched Radulf? And he's alive!? I wish I were there to witness it," Melissa's eyes widened as she stared at her reflection in the mirror, the shock rendering her speechless for a moment. Then, shaking herself from her daze, she said, "I think my hair is done, Pia. I'd like to see Gregor. He shouldn't have come here." Her voice was laced with worry as she carefully rose from her seat.

Her long hair cascaded down her back as she stood. She moved toward the door, following Pia, who led the way through the mansion's halls.

When they arrived at the guest room, it was empty.
