---- EXTRA XXVI.


    EXTRAORDINARY EVENT NARRATOR Sigrid quickly spotted her parents entwined in a dance.


    She watched in amusement as her father whispered something to her mother.


    She''d bet anything it was something indecenther father was always so intense, especially when it came to loving his mate and family.


    She still remembered when he showed up at the pce with the three pups already in his arms, nearly giving the royal couple a heart attack, and Aldric wanting to kill Ss all over again.


    ming him for taking her out while she was that pregnanteven using him of trying to steal his grandchildren for himself.


    Just another typical day in King Lycans castle.


    They joined the other couples, chatting, joking, and having a good time.


    Uncle Zarek, you''re still murdering the rhythm! You''re a musical assassin!" Sigrid teased her mentor.


    Only she dared to do that.


    Between Zarek, Ss, and Laziel, it was a toss-up who could move their facial muscles the least in a day.


    "sigrid, dont be mean! Ive been trying to convince him to dance with me for half an hour," Celine held onto him tighter to stop him from escaping.


    Sure, hed stomped on her feet about twenty times, nearly giving ---- her an ingrown toenail, but she still adored dancing with her mate.


    "Just wait until you end up back in my experimental dungeons, pup.


    The one whoughsstughs best," Zarek gave her a disdainful look, not caring about Ss exasperated expression or, for that matter, King Lycans.


    Sigrid stuck her tongue out at him like a child.


    It didnt matter if she was ten or hundreds of years old, whether she had three kids or twentyshe always acted like a brat around her elders.


    So many generations together, such a big and united family.


    valerias heart could finally rest in peace.


    "I''m going to check on Mom.


    She had a headache and went with Quinn," she told Aldric.


    "TIL go with you," the King Lycan took her hand, and together they disappeared into the pces inner quarters.


    Meanwhile, the dance continued, and Sigridughed heartily at her favorite uncles drunken dancing.


    Ss watched her, taking in every detail of her beautiful smile.


    He loved seeing her so happy.


    However, something still nagged at him.


    He squeezed his mates hand, soothing his unease a little.


    Laziel was incredibly powerfulSs would even dare say more than himself because he was born from an extraordinary Selenia.


    The greatest threats in this world were the specters, and Laziel led them.
