Chapter 16
“Let go of me! Don’t you know who I am?” I told her with a threatening tone of voice, but she wasn’t fazed or scared by me at all.
A couple of moments later, she looked at my dad with her forehead creased. “Is this really how you raised this ignorant child? She just hits anyone she likes just because she can? This lady right here shows no respect whatsoever, I don’t think that any man will be fit for her, especially with that attitude.” She straight up told my dad right in front of my face as she was holding my hand.
Alpha Jaster, my dad, then approached this lady. “Look, Letizia… Just mind your own business and there would be no problem here, you don’t want a problem at the moment, especially enduring the Annual Pack Gathering, would you?” My dad straight up theathened this hag, he looked like a knight in shining armor for a moment there.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Krisna! Just leave, go to where the Annual pack gathering will be held and get me a detailed report of everything, the surroundings, the colors, everything single thing! I want my gown to look perfect for the venue, I will surely stand out in the crowd tomorrow!
Krisna’s POV
Good thing I was sent away from all that, one more second there, and I would have fought back, but all of my hard work, including my plan to escape would be all in the drain if it weren’t for that beautiful old lady.
The man I saw earlier, Asthrid, said his name was Grant… The Annual pack gathering is supposedly the night where one would meet their fate, their soulmate. I wonder if he is the one for me or not… NO! I don;t think so… It’s not even possible, our social standings are too far away, he is an Alpha, and all I am is just a nobody who works for the Alpha’s daughter… This can never happen.
But I think it’s worth a shot, I should ask around here if they know how none would know their soulmate enduring the Annual Pack Gathering, there might be this one small, rare chance. But I wouldn’t get my hopes up for nothing, if the Annual pack gathering really is true, then I would really be lucky.
Krisna’s POV
As soon as I got inside the ballroom, my heart and entire being were starstruck by the beauty of the well-organized hall. It is like I am living a dream. Everything becomes really slow, and the chandelier is full of massive crystals, which gives a sufficient and luminous effect to the entire dance floor. The smell they are giving off is extraordinary to the point that it is making me feel so small.
“This is where the ball will be held? It’s too grand to even to take a step.” She told herself while roaming her eyes to the entire surroundings.
I am still fantasizing about the whole scene when I realize that there are people staring at me. My God, this is so embarrassing. I told myself that I would never catch anyone’s attention. But, they made me feel like I didn’t belong here with all the disgusting looks of some people around me when I entered the ballroom. There are several girls chit-chatting on the side, and I did not notice them. But, the look in their eyes can definitely kill me in no time.
What on earth did I do to them? I mean, I just got here, and we all haven’t met. I don’t even know what I’m doing in this place in the first place. To start off this madness, I finally started to walk to the side of the ballroom, trying not to take too much attention from them. It is so obvious that they are not friendly, and I don’t want to make a scene.
After receiving those death stares and everything, I did not receive any other judgments whatsoever so far. So what? Did they just run out of things to say in their minds?
I stopped here to the right side, and I can perfectly see the entire ballroom, so I will have something to report to Asthrid later on.
I like it better when I’m better off alone since I am always well like that. People will only be an eternal struggle and obstacle in your life if you let them inside your circle. You won’t know how much suffering they can give you in the future, so I always dreamt of being alone. Being able to get out of Asthrid Olimp’s lair would mean drastic change in my life. I don’t mind being a rogue after that, and I just don’t want someone commanding me again. And once I get the chance to get out of here, I will finally be free for the rest of my life.
But knowing that I am fated to Grant is making me feel uncertain. What was that all about? Can I not get a peaceful and happy life alone?
“Well, well, well. If it isn’t a rug inside a palace.” One of the girls at the corner just suddenly popped up. All of them are now at my side, trying to go all out against me. I can’t really have a peaceful and happy life, can I? I just want to contemplate with my inner peace and think of how I can get out of this madness, but one thing happens after the other.
“Oh, you poor little thing. Did you travel all the way here or did your master just give you a nice slap on your face?” The other girl commented with a sarcastic look on her face. Tsk, she called me a poor thing, but it is written all over her face that she is enjoying what she is witnessing.
“That blood on your face is so satisfying to look at! I think I want more.” Another girl told me. Hah, if I know this girl is just a sidekick and can’t even fend herself.
