In Chapter 251 of \u201cMidnight Letters,\u201d Aysel shares her newfound obsession with hotpot, which has become a source of playful tension between her and Magnus, the Alpha of Shadowbane. Despite Magnus\u2019s initial concerns about Aysel\u2019s excessive enthusiasm for the dish, he quickly succumbs to her charm and begins researching healthier hotpot bases. This leads him to recruit a renowned chef from his family\u2019s manor to help him master the culinary art, but it becomes evident that Magnus is more interested in the time they spend cooking together than the food itself. Aysel delights in these moments, enjoying their closeness and the joy it brings Magnus.<\/p>\n
However, the tranquility of their evening is shattered when Aysel receives a flurry of messages that pull her away from their intimate moment. She and Magnus head to the city authority station, where they find Aysel\u2019s friend Jenny, who has had a tumultuous night. Jenny\u2019s bright personality contrasts sharply with the tense atmosphere created by Magnus\u2019s imposing presence. Despite Jenny\u2019s initial excitement, she quickly realizes the gravity of the situation, having been involved in a confrontation that left her shaken.<\/p>\n
As Aysel tries to understand what happened to Jenny, they encounter Lykos, who appears bruised and desperate for reconciliation. His plea for Aysel to consider him a brother again is met with skepticism, as Aysel reflects on their estranged relationship. Jenny\u2019s anger towards Lykos for his reckless behavior only adds to the tension, creating a complicated dynamic as Aysel navigates her feelings for both her friend and her past with Lykos.<\/p>\n
The chapter captures a blend of emotions\u2014Aysel\u2019s joy in her relationship with Magnus, the tension and urgency of the situation with Jenny, and the unresolved conflict with Lykos. As the night unfolds, it becomes clear that Aysel\u2019s life is filled with complexities that challenge her sense of loyalty and belonging, setting the stage for further developments in her relationships.<\/p>\n

Lately, I found myself hopelessly enamored with hotpot\u2014an obsession that Magnus deemed dangerously excessive.<\/p>\n
Every time he attempted to intervene, all it took was a glance from me, a flicker of my Moonvale charm, and a look reminiscent of a forsaken puppy, and he would crumble like a house of cards.<\/p>\n
Magnus, the formidable Alpha of Shadowbane, the mightiest wolf across the entire continent, would relent without hesitation.<\/p>\n
In response, he delved into research on \u201chealthier hotpot bases,\u201d as if his very existence hinged on it. He even went so far as to drag the seasoned chef from the Sanchez ancestral manor\u2014one who had been trained in the art of flame-born dishes\u2014out of his comfortable retirement, compelling him to mentor him in the intricate craft of broths, chili pastes, and the elusive spirit-herb condiments.<\/p>\n
Sure, he could have simply hired the chef to come over each night, but Magnus had discovered another addiction\u2014<\/p>\n
Not to hotpot itself, but to the act of cooking alongside me.<\/p>\n
Well, it was more about him cooking while I \u201ccharged\u201d him, leaning against his back, playfully tugging at his apron strings, or nuzzling his neck as he meticulously chopped vegetables. Unless he was too absorbed in his task or I was too lazy to leave the couch, we practically inhabited the kitchen together, entwined like two wolves sharing a warm den.<\/p>\n
And to be honest? I relished every moment of it.<\/p>\n
He thrived on my enjoyment, and it thrilled him to see my delight.<\/p>\n
This meant he was willing to absorb any knowledge necessary, ensuring that whenever I craved something, I could have it without delay.<\/p>\n
So when Bastien, in an unusual twist of fate, developed a craving for something spicy and sought out \u201cthe chef he had practically fought his old glutton friends to the brink of death to secure,\u201d he stumbled upon a shocking revelation:<\/p>\n
His cherished chef had already been spirited away by his wayward grandson.<\/p>\n
In a fit of indignation, he called Magnus, demanding the return of the chef.<\/p>\n
Magnus didn\u2019t even flinch at the audacity of the request.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s staying. Aysel enjoys spicy food. Unless you wish for her to come to the ancestral manor every single day?\u201d<\/p>\n

A heavy silence enveloped the conversation.<\/p>\n
An agonizing, drawn-out silence.<\/p>\n
That night, the old Alpha was so incensed that he consumed half a bowl less than usual.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Magnus seized the moment to \u201coffer flowers in another\u2019s vase,\u201d showcasing the new culinary delights he had acquired. I reveled in his cooking to such an extent that I felt my wolf tail nearly springing forth in delight.<\/p>\n
I trailed after Magnus in the kitchen, practically his little shadow, chanting:<\/p>\n
\u201cMagnus, you\u2019re incredible!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo delicious!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI love it. I love you. I adore everything you create!\u201d<\/p>\n
Every compliment I showered upon him made his Alpha pride swell until he wore a grin akin to a wolf who had just snatched the moon from the sky.<\/p>\n
But later that night, just when he was poised to claim the fruits of his labor\u2014when we were intertwined, breathless, and he was about to shift his weight and take me\u2014<\/p>\n
My communicator chimed.<\/p>\n
Then it chimed again.<\/p>\n
Then it erupted with a flurry of frantic voice notes and sticker-spam.<\/p>\n
I froze in place.<\/p>\n
Magnus froze as well.<\/p>\n
Every muscle in Magnus\u2019s body went rigid.<\/p>\n
And I\u2026<\/p>\n
Like the brazen rogue I evidently was\u2026<\/p>\n
Pushed him away, scrambled for my clothes, and leaped upright.<\/p>\n
Half an hour later, in the frigid corridors of the city authority station, Magnus stood beside me, emanating enough Shadowbane frost to chill the air by a solid ten degrees.<\/p>\n
We stepped inside.<\/p>\n

Two voices erupted from the holding area in unison:<\/p>\n
\u201cThird cousin-sister-in-law!!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSister?!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jenny\u2014bright-eyed, exuberant, and utterly irrepressible\u2014lit up the room as if someone had flipped a switch to the sun.<\/p>\n
However, as soon as she caught sight of the towering Alpha standing beside me, radiating a territorial threat-scent in palpable waves, her exuberance deflated.<\/p>\n
Poor girl. She had endured a harrowing night\u2014running into a madman, winding up in a police station, and unable to call her parents, fearing they would skin her alive and revoke her allowance. All her usual saviors were either passed out in taverns or out of the country. Desperate, she sent me a tentative message, not truly expecting me to come.<\/p>\n
Certainly, she never anticipated that I would bring Magnus, the continent\u2019s most fearsome Alpha wolf, along with me.<\/p>\n
After the incident with Rudi falling into the river, Jenny had publicly sided with Magnus and me, and our bond had grown stronger. She was a chatterbox, an endearing one at that, always leaving enthusiastic <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
