CHAPTER 299
~Zara's POV~
The day had been perfect, as far as outings with my mother went. We'd visited the farmer's market, stopped by that quaint café she had been raving about, and even indulged in spa treatments that left me feeling more relaxed than I had been in weeks.
But deep down, I knew this was it. My final day here.
As we pulled into the packhouse driveway, I spotted an elder waiting by the grand entrance. The moment he saw the car, his expression lit up.
"Luna Zaria! And Princess Zara!" he called out as we stepped out of the vehicle.
I winced slightly at the title but managed a polite smile. "Elder Faris," Mum greeted warmly, striding toward him.
He bowed slightly before turning his attention to me. "Princess Zara, it's so wonderful to see you here. Your presence truly lifts the spirit of this pack."
