Alpha's Regret: Losing His True Mate

Elodie’s POV~

Then a voice that sounded a little uncertain, suddenly called out from the hallway.

"Sister-in-law? I heard you were sick. Are you feeling any better?"

I recognized it immediately. Yancy. Dante’s younger brother.

Before I could answer, Dante spoke up. "Come in."

The door had been left ajar after everyone had filtered in and out earlier. Now it swung open wider, and Yancy stepped inside, his expression cautious.

He looked at Dante first. "Brother."

Dante gave a short nod. "Mm."

Then Yancy’s eyes shifted to me, and I could see the hesitation there. We’d never really talked much, just made greetings at family dinners, the occasional nod in passing. He probably wasn’t sure how to navigate this.

So I made it easier for him.

"I’m feeling a lot better now," I said, keeping my tone light. "Thank you for asking."

He scratched the back of his head, looking relieved. "Oh. Good. That’s... that’s good."
