Chapter 7: Enchanting potion
Five years later...
"Are you finished cleaning the vases?" Aurora asked, smiling brightly as she supervised the maids.
"And what about the cake? Is it ready?" Aurora inquired, her mind focused on both the maids and the baker. Today was a significant day as their Alpha was returning home after five years. Aurora had worked diligently as a maid and was promoted to head chef. Pursuing her dream of living in the countryside with her mate, she had become skilled in cooking and excelled at it.
Scarlet, Aurora's roommate and best friend, approached with a familiar voice, making the atmosphere lively. "Someone might think you are welcoming your husband home."
Aurora replied, "You know how upset Theresa would be if things don't go perfectly," and they both laughed. While Aurora was the head chef, Scarlet had become the Lady of the Quarters, responsible for managing affairs within the pack's quarters. Despite their differing positions, they treated each other as equals.
"She can be overwhelming at times," they continued joking.
"I wouldn't be surprised if women start running away from the Alpha," Scarlet commented, having witnessed Theresa's relentless pursuit of an heir over the past five years.
"We should get to work before she catches us," Aurora suggested, and they quickly went their separate ways.
"Aurora, you are needed in the kitchen," a maid approached Aurora, urging her to attend to the matter. Giving instructions for the vases to be sparkling clean, Aurora followed the maid towards the kitchen.
