"The beta beckoned you into the dimly lit chamber," she whispered, her voice barely audible. I met her gaze and silently acknowledged her words with a subtle nod of my head. She sauntered away, her graceful steps carrying her further from me. As she disappeared into the distance, I slowly pivoted my gaze towards Axel, my eyes locking onto his with a mix of curiosity and anticipation. "So-" "Shall I accompany you?" He cut me off mid-sentence, abruptly halting my flow of words. I vigorously shook my head.
