Larissa's POV
I returned to the palace after endless gist and giggles with Kent.
It was just the break I needed from the palace and the drama that came along with it..
Riding back to the palace , I thought about what Kent had passed as a joke earlier.
He might have a point. That might be one of the ways to relieve his stress. I was willing to do that..
I showed up at the secret entrance and Joanna was at the other side, waiting for me with a fire torch at the other end.
She looked quite worried as she was pacing the room in concern..
"Did I take a while? I was hoping my visit was very quick and brief.." I started, apologizing profusely to her..
"No, my lady. I was worried the Alpha might show up and demand your presence"
"Has he? Is he in the palace?"
"No, my lady."
I sighed in relief as we made our way out of the secret passage.
"I heard Lady Evelyn step out to meet the ladies in the court. I believe Alpha's demands are making them very nervous"
