Abandoned While Pregnant, Claimed by the Alpha novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125

Cecilia’s POV

+15 Banus

“Princess Cecilia, there was a bit of a scene at the entrance just now.” My maid kept her head down, her voice full of flattery. “It was Brian from the Blackwood Pack, with that country bumpkin Luna of his, dressed in some cheap rhinestone dress. The security guards treated them like stray dogs and blocked them right outside the VIP entrance.”

I leaned back on the plush sofa, a glass of expensive crimson vodka in my hand. Hearing this, I let out a disdainful laugh.

“The Blackwood Pack is already as good as a rotting corpse,” I said lazily, swirling the glass and watching the red liquid leave elegant streaks on the crystal. “Brian, that pathetic poser, doesn’t belong in a gathering for the elite wouldn’t even waste the effort to look down on trash like him.”

“But…” My maid hesitated for a moment, her voice dropping to an almost–whisper. “I heard Ashley also made it to the party. And… she came through the highest–level VIP entrance.”

My fingers tightened sharply, and the crisp sound of the crystal glass straining under pressure echoed.

Ashley? That defective freak without even a wolf spirit?

A wave of nausea coiled tightly around my heart like a venomous snake. I slammed my glass down abruptly and stood up.

This is absolutely impossible!

With my noble identity as the princess of the Darkriver Pack, I’m the one entitled to sit in this lavish lounge! And Ashley? What is she, really? Just a lowly employee of the Bloodmoon Pack! If her job was merely crunching numbers, there’s no way the Pack Council Hall would grant her access to the VIP entrance!

Unless… unless Hebert has officially declared her as the true Luna of the Bloodmoon Pack to the entire Pack Council.

Damn it! That pathetic wolf girl–what gives her the right? How can she show up beside someone like Hebert, a top–tier Alpha? I, with my pure bloodline and unmatched strength, am the only one worthy of standing as his equal!

“For Moon Goddess‘ sake, Cecilia, there’s no need to waste your energy on someone as unworthy as that,” came a simpering voice from behind me, lounging on a silk chaise.

It was Selena, the princess of the Stoneborn Pack.

To be honest, the Stoneborn Pack is nothing more than a weak, third–rate pack that survives by clinging to powerful alliances. With Selena’s mediocre abilities, she doesn’t even deserve to be my friend. But I like keeping her around. She’s like an obedient little lapdog–always knowing the right moment to flatter my pride with her slick tongue, saying exactly what I want to hear.

“You don’t get it, do you?” I snapped, turning around with an annoyed glare.

Selena instantly straightened up and approached me, her hands carefully smoothing out the hem of my gown in a servile gesture. “I’ve just confirmed something, Cecilia,” she whispered confidently, her tone filled with obsequious reassurance. “Ashley showed up at the event alone. Hebert didn’t even bother to accompany Think about it—if he truly saw her as his mate, would he let her arrive here all by herself?”

her!

I paused for a moment, my breath hitching slightly as the storm of anger inside me started to dissipate.

“You’re saying…” I narrowed my eyes, staring at my reflection in the mirror–my strikingly beautiful, fiercely captivating features.

“Everyone knows Hebert is an obsessive workaholic,” Selena said, her eyes gleaming with a sly light. “If he brought that… defective thing here, it’s just to keep her handling all those trivial tasks. She’s nothing more than a cheap placeholder, a tool for convenience! There’s no way he’d genuinely care for someone as worthless as her.”

This explanation perfectly eased the deep irritation in my heart.
