NovelEnglishChapter 126: Dignified Stranger
Astrid's POV
| closed my eyes as | savored the earthy, floral scents that wafted through the air as Nova and I strolled through
the winding garden garden Path of the Shadowfang Pack's manor.
Instead of a Packhouse, they call this place where their Alpha lives as a manor instead because this is his
personal home.
The Shadowfang Pack is located on two conjoined mountains with a lake in the middle. Despite their unique and
difficult landscape, they were able to build big structures in their area, and they are even able to plant gardens
as wide as this. | smiled as | admired the various flowers planted in the area, which | couldn't nbecause |
lack knowledge when it comes to flowers, and gardening and plants entirely.
| just knew that it must have took them a lot of effort to cultivate such healthy and lush plants especially in this
difficult are that they have.
Flowers like this, don't usually grow on rocky soil at the steep mountain grounds. For them to grow like this, it
has to be well taken cared of so that the Alpha and his family will have a place to enjoy themselves in.
"Ahhh!" Nova exhaled relaxingly behind me. "How long has it been since we went out for a walk?" Nova asked
me, with her eyes still on the flowers around us.
She held a basket tightly in her hands since we were planning to cut sflowers to add color in my room. The
gardener said that we could do that as long as we don't take too much.
Although Nova and | has been staying in the Shadowfang Pack for too long, we were mostly confined inside the
four corners of my room since | was too weak and even too tired to do anything else.
Now that I'm getting therapies and also proper medication, | finally found the desire to go outside my room and
explore around the place where we've been staying in until this garden caught our attention.
Nova walked closely by my side with a smile on her face as she stared up at me. Even though she never said a

starting to go outside more.
"I know, it had been far too long since | had last set food outside," | replied to her last statement.
"If you want, we can explore outside. Shadowfang Pack is a huge Pack. I've been wondering what it would look
like if we hike up their mountain. There must be a great view up there," Nova suggested as she lifted her chin up
to gaze at the mountain peak, she raised one hand to shield her eyes from the blinding light.
Out of curiosity, | also followed her gaze. Indeed, | also wonder what it would be like if we go up there.
"Huh? Who is that person?" Nova mumbled.
| glanced at her, wondering what she was talking about. | followed her gaze again and | saw her looking at a man
walking directly towards our path.
My brows furrowed, matching the confusion that is also etched on Nova's face.
As the stranger approached, | took in more of his striking appearance. He was a young man, perhaps in his mid-
twenties, with a tall, athletic build that suggested both strength and grace.
His features were refined and handswith high cheekbones, a sharp jawline, and piercing eyes the color of
emeralds.
Behind him, two warriors followed closely. Their stoic expressions and imposing statures adding to the air of
mystery that surrounded the stranger.
When our eyes met, | was taken
aback by the intensity that | sensed
within his gaze. There was a
dangerous edge to his expression,
betraying his gentle features and his
refined countenance.
| could sense an unseen tension coiling beneath his stoic expression, as if sinvisible force was urging him
towards a confrontation.
| shirked back when his brows furrowed ever so slightly, his jaw tightening as their eyes locked, and I felt the
weight of his scrutiny bearing down upon me.
| couldn't understand. Is he angry at
me? We are complete strangers.'m
sure | have never even seen him. before. Somehow, he hates me. What had I done to deserve his hate? en
Have | done something wrong when | only did nothing but stare at him?
"You're Astrid, am I right?" The man asked as he stopped right in front of me.
A growing sense of unease made my stomach twist in discomfort. How did he know who | was?
"I'am," | answered curtly, wondering what his business withwas.
"Do you know who | am?" he askedcoldly as he glared at me.
| squinted my eyes at him, surprised
