Chapter 0260 

As I sipped the bubbly liquid, I scanned the room, taking in the fruits of my labor. 

The decorations sparkled under the chandeliers. The guests mingled happily, their laughter and chatter filling the air. The scent of expensive perfumes and aftershaves mingled with the aroma of gourmet hors d’oeuvres and alcohol. By all accounts, the gala was a resounding success. 

But then, my eyes landed on Leonard, standing across the room. He was watching me intently, a smug expression on his face. 

Anger bubbled up inside of me again. How dare he mess with my seating arrangements? How dare he put Zoe next to Noah? How dare he meddle with my night? 

Making a decision that I would hold my tongue no longer, I set my glass down, prepared to march over and give him a piece of my mind. But before I could take a step, a familiar voice stopped me in my tracks. “Luna Hannah. It has been far too long.” 

I turned to find myself face to face with the Luna Queen herself. She was just as regal as I remembered, her presence immediately commanding the respect of not only myself, but also my wolf. Her silver hair was styled in an elegant updo, and her dark gown was practically sparkling under the lights. 

“Luna Alanna,” I said, curtsying to her. “It’s a pleasure to see you. I’m so glad you came.”

“I have no doubt they will,” she replied with a curt nod. for rather, I have no doubt that you will make a huge difference, Luna Hannah.” 

My cheeks flushed, but before I could respond, she suddenly said, “In fact, I’m so impressed by your work. that would like to extend an invitation; I want you to visit my council for a day, to be evaluated by the other women before you join.” 

Her words left me so taken aback that I nearly stumbled right where I stood, my fingers tightening around the stem of my glass. Was she really…? 

Keep it together, I told myself. I didn’t want to give Luna Alanna another impression that I was timid, so I kept my voice even as I said, “That would be an honor, Luna Alanna. I’m looking forward to attending.” 

The Luna Queen nodded, clearly pleased by my cool demeanor. Her eyes scanned the room like daggers seeking a target. “Now, where is your husband? I’d like to congratulate him on the event as well.” 

My stomach dropped. I looked around, realizing that Noah hadn’t stayed consistently by my side all night, not since Zoe had taken her seat next to him at the opera. The realization stung, a sharp reminder of the distance between us.
