During these five years, I attended quite a few parties; nevertheless, most of them were held wit</p> <p>Here, we had to face so many new people, one of whom I did not wish to see again.</p> <p>“Shall we enter, my lady?”</p> <p>I turned my head to my right side to see Eric. As he approached me, he extended his arm. In response, I nodded my head and placed my hand on top of</p> <p>other’s hands.</p> <p>The various powers that were present in the hall, as well as the decoration that was inside the hall, left me in a state of awe.</p> <p>It appeared as though a large number of head Alpha and Luna had arrived to take part in the party.</p> <p>And why not? It was not just a party but a conference of werewolf council.</p> <p>I held Eric’s hand tightly and let out a long, deep breath.</p> <p>‘I can do it.‘ I said to myself.</p> <p>I could see the entire hall filled with wealthy people who had come to show off their wealth to each other.</p> <p>The women wore lavish gowns created by well–known designers, and the men wore pricey handmade suits.</p> <p>In addition to that, I was wearing a very expensive black satin gown that my brother had chosen for me.</p> <p>The gazes of a lot of people were drawn to Eric and me. There were men staring at me, but I chose to ignore them. There were young women who seem</p> <p>We were the center of almost everyone’s attention.</p> <p>Eric introduced me to a few council members. In comparison to other packs, he was a well– known beta. In the view of the members of the council, he had an exceptionally good reputation. It made me delighted to see that he was being recogniz</p> <p>“I can’t believe we are seeing you, Natalia Hansley. We only heard about you all these years.” One of the council members said to me.</p> <p>I responded with a smile and said, “I am delighted to be able to attend the party. I am grateful that you invited me.”</p> <p>“We would love to introduce you to every-”</p> <p>“Sorry to interrupt you, sir. But would you mind if I made a request of you?” I asked them.</p> <p>They exchanged glances with one another and then made a move with their heads to proceed.</p> <p>Eric pulled me behind and asked in my ears. “What’s in your mind, Nat?”</p> <p>I simply shook my head to let him know that there was no need for him to be concerned about anything.</p> <p>“I want you all to hide my identity from everyone.”</p> <p>They looked stunned. “What do you mean?” One of them asked.</p> <p>“I don’t want others to know who I am.”</p> <p>“But why?”</p> <p>“I have my own reasons.” noveldrama</p> <p>The moment they heard me, they gave me a nod of their heads.</p> <p>“We see. She is a hard nut to crack.” They said this to Eric and started to chuckle.</p> <p>Eric glanced at them and joined them in laughter. I looked at him. I mind linked him and asked,</p> <p>“Why are you all laughing?”</p> <p>“I don’t know. They were laughing, so I decided to join in. You should keep up the act. They are council members, remember?”</p> <p>I laughed sheepishly as I was feeling dumbfounded.</p> <p>‘Did they think I have something for Eric?‘ I thought and shook my head.</p> <p>Eric was talking about our pack to the council members since my brother, the current head Alpha, could not come to talk to them.</p> <p>I excused myself and walked to a corner. One of the waiters offered me a glass of champagne, and I took a few sips from it.</p> <p>My eyes roamed throughout the hall. They were observing all the new faces.</p> <p>At that time, an angry voice appeared from behind me.</p> <p>“Natalia, what are you doing here?”</p> <p>Upon turning around, I saw two women. I was able to identify them quite accurately. It turned out that they were members of the Crystal Blood Pack, who</p> <p>“Excuse me?” I asked.</p> <p>They looked at me provocatively and scoffed.</p> <p>“We thought you were dead. But you are still alive!”</p> <p>Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall turned silent. I could sense the presence of a very powerful someone entering the hall. Those</p> <p>women also felt the same way. Despite this, they did not care about. it and continued to mock me.</p> <p>“She is right. I mean, after being dumped by Alpha Adrian, how can you still be alive?” Another woman said.</p> <p>I could not look at others and refocused on those women.</p> <p>“Done?” I asked with a disturbed tone.</p> <p>As soon as they realized that I was ignoring their mockery, they became very agitated.</p> <p>What did they think? I would respond to them? No way. I would never give these women attention, who were nothing but clout chasers.</p> <p>“It looks like you don’t have any shame. Did you forget that you are not a Luna anymore? Or are you here to plan to gain our Alpha’s attention again?” An</p> <p>I frowned at them. “Just shut up your nonsense and leave me alone, “I told them with a furious tone.</p> <p>They looked surprised when I shot back. They got angry at me.</p> <p>With her hand up, one of them was getting ready to strike me. grabbed her hand.</p> <p>But I</p> <p>However, my eyes fell behind the woman, and they froze at someone.</p> <p>A man was standing there in a black handmade tailor suit, as always</p> <p>captivating</p> <p>I realized why the hall turned silent a while ago. It was because of him.</p> <p>The danger was screaming out of him. His dark eyes, which I almost forgot, were staring at me.</p> <p>With just one glance, my entire past came flooding back into my mind.</p> <p>“Leave my hand.” I heard the woman’s whimpering.</p> <p>When I looked down, I saw that I had grabbed her wrist with too much force. After diverting my attention away from the man, I switched my attention bac</p> <p>“I advise you to disguise yourself in front of your Alpha,” I said, letting go of her hand,</p> <p>The woman frowned in confusion, but then she turned around.</p> <p>Both of the women’s eyes widened. As quickly as they could, they put on an innocent look. They bowed to the man and said,</p> <p>“Alpha Adrian”</p> <p>I sneered at those women and looked at Adrian once again.</p> <p>As he looked solemnly at me, he paid no attention to the other</p> <p>Women.</p> <p>His eyes were full of rage.</p> <p>The two women left our side hurriedly in fear of him.</p> <p>Just as I was going to move, I noticed that he was approaching with a step.</p> <p>“How dare</p> <p>+15 A</p> <p>His tone was so icy that it clutched my heart. But my wolf responded in a different manner, which surprised me.</p> <p>I felt my wolf suddenly become excited. I was very confused but froze when my wolf started to chant.</p> <p>“MATE.”</p> </body></html>
