Chapter 178. The Best Path

“Hmm… I honestly don’t know where she gets all this confidence,” Zander murmured as he looked at the beautiful woman sleeping on his bed. Her long, silvery-black hair spread over the pillow, her skin pale and smooth, her cheeks naturally pink, and her lips full and rosy. Her brows were perfectly shaped and her eyelashes dark and thick.

She was stunning. She also looked much younger than her age. He had heard she was already thirty-five.

“You waited all your life to meet your mate, only for him to betray you. Such a tragic love story…” Zander sighed softly.

He drew in a deep breath as his gaze drifted to the open balcony, where the view of the forest stretched endlessly. His home was hidden deep among the trees, a secret dwelling where only a handful of his most trusted and loyal followers lived and trained with him.

For years, this place had been his quiet fortress. The place where he planned everything for his return in claiming back what was rightfully his.
