"Caden, calm down a bit."
"This must be another one of her playing-hard-to-get tricks. You've fallen for it once before, you can't trust her again!"
Hearing this, Caden finally calmed down a little, suppressing the agitation in his heart and reassuring himself,
"That's right, this must be another one of Stella's acts."
"For seven years, she hasn't missed a single Thanksgiving. She must be preparing some surprise!"
"As for that image, it's definitely just a smoke screen. It's not that easy to fool me!"
At this moment, Caden's right-hand man, Jaxon, walked in holding another memory crystal,
"Alpha, Stella sent a wolf to deliver something for you."
Caden's demeanor changed from his previous unease to one of confidence as he took it,
"See! I knew she couldn't leave me!"
"Still putting on an act, yet eagerly sending gifts right to my doorstep!"
