(DARIAN)
Spending time with Alice and Mira becomes a frequent occurrence. I also get to see Alice during meetings with Katherine's company. Her attitude toward me is softening, and I've noticed that she likes to feed me. I don't know if she realises that this is something mates do for each other. Even if Alice hasn't accepted me, her wolf has.
It's something that gives me hope, but I'm not going to shoot myself in the foot. I have no intention of telling her the meaning behind her actions.
However, when she gives me some of her lunch or forces me to eat something, I never turn her down.
My team of lawyers always watches in morbid fascination when Alice speaks to me in a casual but disgruntled voice. None of them would dare speak to me in that tone. In fact, over the years, I've developed a reputation as a little bit of a tyrant. My attitude toward my own wife, Willow, is harsh enough that rumors about my personality have begun to spread.
