Crystal's POV:
I thought I had prepared myself for this, but I still found myself trembling at the scene unfolding before me.
"What's wrong?" I asked lan in the steadiest voice I could muster. "This is Beryl. Haven't you been wanting to see her all this time?"
lan turned his big head to look up at me before letting out a long, mournful howl. His tail drooped to the ground, and he looked considerably upset.
Beryl chose that moment to approach the wolf. "lan?"
lan only reacted more violently, however. He let out a long, guttural growl and bared his fangs at her. It looked like he might pounce on her and tear her into pieces if she took one step closer.
Beryl looked up at me, her eyes tearing up. "Mom, why is lan being so horrid to me?"
I felt my brows furrow. "It might be because he hasn't seen you for a while."
As if to refute my words, lan roared and stamped his feet, his claws leaving marks on the floor.
Just then, Arron poked his head out from behind the wolf and reached out to stroke his fur. "Come on, lan, don't be mad. We didn't want to leave you behind in the pack, but we had no choice. From now on, we will take you everywhere we
go."
My precious little boy thought that lan was holding a grudge for that incident and wanted to ease the unmistakable tension. Arron stepped forward and made to reach for his sister's hand.
But lan stopped him in the next second, his sharp
teeth sinking in the collar of Arron's shirt.
Arron frowned and put his hands on his hips. "Why are you acting like this, lan? That's Beryl! Don't you recognize your best friend?"
lan let him go, only to nudge Arron back behind him. He stood between the siblings and let out another howl.
Out of the corner of my eye, I
noticed Rufus quietly draw close to
the trio He seemed to have
recognized the uncertainty of the
situation, and wanted to be nearby in
case things got out of control.
At first, Beryl took up grievance on lan's behavior, but she soon dropped that act.
She made no move to get closer, either, and instead tried to coax lan from a few feet away. "Don't be angry, lan. I promise, I won't leave you alone again." This was met by another ferocious roar.
Beryl covered her ears. Then, to
everyone's surprise, she burst out laughing. "You look like a pig, lan. You're not scary at all. Both Arrom and I have already apologized to you. What more do you want? If you like I can also promise to take you Wherever I go in the future."
My face hardened. Beryl was just repeating everything Arron had said just now. S-lah the Find_Nøvel.let website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
More importantly, I knew that lan was not angry at all, but afraid and panicked.
Beryl would have known, too, at first glance. After all, they had been inseparable in the past.

Besides, Beryl was a haughty little hellion. She had never cajoled anyone in her life. If something like this had in the east, she would have happened in the past, she would have lost her temper at lan and berated the wolf. The content is on

If anything, lan remained firm in his initial stand.
Rufus and I exchanged a glance and waited for what might happen next.
I was more certain than ever that Noreen had somehow taken over Beryl's body.
And as far as I knew, Noreen was not a patient person.
She wasn't one to mince her words

She clicked her tongue and rolled her eyes, her upper lip curling into a sneer as she said, "Damn it! This stupid bastard is more troublesome than I thought!"
