Richard's POV:

"Stop!" I commanded. The army behind me swarmed around the scene. "It is improper to cause such a ruckus right in front of the Royal Military School gate!"

As soon as I appeared, everyone quieted down with fear and respectfully bowed their heads. I always enjoyed the incomparable honor my identity had given me.

But there was one she-wolf in heavy makeup who didn't seem afraid of me. She was staring at me with her mouth gaping open, her cheeks swollen.

Since she dared look me in the eye, I asked her name.

"I apologize for what happened, beautiful lady. May I know your name?" I walked over to her and asked gently.

She gave a shy smile and answered in a low voice, "My name is Cherry Brook. I am the daughter of the Gamma of the Black Moon Pack."
