Seeing that he didn't want to answer, I didn't press him further.
Now, looking at his furrowed brows and timid eyes, my heart, which had endured countless battles on the battlefield, was deeply pierced.
I called my wife and ask her to come back and be with our son too.
But as soon as I opened my mouth, she said impatiently, "The pack is currently preparing for an important sacrificial ceremony. I'm swamped with work. You stay with him first."
She had never once mentioned to me about such a significant matter as preparing the sacrificial ceremony.
When it came to making decisions regarding pack affairs, she had always been like this. She preferred to make decisions on her own first and then inform me, leaving me always the last to know.
Although I had long been accustomed to this, at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a bit helpless and disappointed.
At a time when our son so desperately needed the company of his family, she was still completely absorbed in pack affairs.
Two years ago, Luna suddenly brought back a young boy.
With a look of deep compassion on her face, she told me that seeing the boy's lonely and forlorn state reminded her of our son Cupid, and she just couldn't bear it.
She also said that she was worried Cupid might be lonely in the Wolf Castle and wanted to find him a companion, so she decided to sponsor this child named Bran.
At first, I was against it in my heart.
I thought it was fine to offer financial support, but there was no need to bring him back to the Wolf Castle.
However, Luna started a cold war with me over this matter.
For the sake of peace in the Wolf Castle and the harmony of our family, I finally gave in.
The moment Bran stepped into the Wolf Castle and saw Cupid's exclusive training ground, which was well - equipped and spacious with bright lights, he actually directly asked Cupid to give this training ground to him for use.
As for the special spiritual meat that Cupid usually liked to eat, Bran took it and ate it without even asking, without the slightest demeanor of someone living under another's roof.
I had complained to Luna Mary about these matters numerous times, but she would always say, "He's just a child. How could he have any bad intentions? He's just straightforward by nature."
Originally, I had high hopes that with another child in the family, Cupid would become more lively and cheerful.
However, things turned out contrary to my expectations.
Instead of becoming happy, Cupid, at such a young age, had already been burdened with an inappropriate melancholy.
But suddenly, a loud shout from downstairs instantly shattered the tranquility, and Cupid, who was in his sleep, was startled awake.
I rushed out immediately to check.
There was Bran, sitting cross - legged on the sofa, fully engrossed in playing a Wolf card game called "Wolf King Domination" with a few of his cronies.
He slammed a card down hard with one hand and kept cursing, "What a lousy card! I'm having the worst luck today!"
He didn't notice at all that the noise he was making had disturbed the entire Wolf Castle.
The rowdy laughter and shouts of the card - playing friends around him made the otherwise quiet night extremely noisy.
In an instant, a searing rage consumed me.
I strode rapidly down the stairs and stood in front of Bran, glaring at him furiously.
"Bran! You've woken up everyone in the entire Wolf Castle. "
Bran was startled by my sudden appearance.
The card he was about to slam down halted mid - air.
"Come on, Dad. We're having a great time. A little noise is normal. It's not that exaggerated,"
He showed no sign of stopping and even turned his head, ready to continue the game with his card - playing friends.
I reached out and swept all the cards in front of him onto the floor.
The cards scattered everywhere.
Seeing this, Bran shot up from his seat, his eyes wide open, glaring at me with a face full of anger.
