PAOLO POV I was still working on my breakfast, enjoying the rich flavor of scrambled eggs and crispy toast, when I noticed something off in the atmosphere of the dining hall. Alex stormed out of the room, his expression tight, like he was barely keeping it together. There was something unnerving about his stride, how each step seemed more controlled than the last. Alice trailed behind him, her face etched with worry. She offered a quick apology to the group before following him out. I watched them go, curiosity piqued, but shrugged it off. They were probably dealing with something personal, maybe a lovers’ quarrel or some werewolf-related drama that was way above my pay grade. Either way, I wasn’t about to let it spoil my breakfast. I took another small bite, savoring the blend of flavor
