Phoebe's POV
I'd visited the palace once as a child, tagging along when my beta father traveled to Central City on business.
Back then, he showered me with affection—the kind of father every little girl dreams of. Now I can't pinpoint when everything shifted between us.
This place still takes my breath away. Massive structures rise before me, every towering pillar carved with elaborate designs that seem to tell ancient stories.
Four main buildings dominate the grounds, just like my father explained during that long-ago visit.
The alpha's castle commands the center stage, while the royal beta, royal gamma, and warrior quarters claim their own territories around it.
The entire complex sprawls across hundreds of acres—a city within a city, steeped in centuries-old tradition.
These buildings have stood unchanged for generations, their timeless architecture adding to the mystical atmosphere that hits you the moment you step through the gates.
