Selma Payne's POV:
On a cool afternoon, I was leaning on Maxine's back, drowsy as I faced the flowers.
Maxine had grown quite a bit. Although she had yet to grow into an awe-inspiring big wolf, her strong body was enough to intimidate people.
She was a lively and active girl, and the tiring daily training couldn't completely exhaust her excessive experience. Since I returned because of my pregnancy, she called herself my guard, always guarding me against anyone approaching.
"Those who don't know would think that this is your child," I once joked.
"Of course he's my child," she replied confidently. "You and I are the same person. Have you forgotten?"
Alright, she was right.
There were official matters in the military camp, so Aldrich had no choice but to leave my side temporarily. To be honest, I hoped he could leave for a while. Although it was a bit of a sc*mbag to say that, I really couldn't stand his constant clingy attitude.
