Chapter 151 The First Slice

Amanda’s POV:

“Amanda.”

A familiar voice called out, and I immediately recognized it-it was Derrick.

I turned around in surprise, and sure enough, there stood Derrick, wearing an eagle-shaped silver mask just a few feet away.

Even with the mask covering most of his face, I could still picture that persistent gleam of amusement in his eyes. Ever since he’d confessed his feelings and I’d gently rejected him, I had deliberately avoided him at the training camp and the castle. But I never expected he would call out to me so openly in such a public setting.

“That waltz earlier was wonderful,” he said, walking closer with genuine admiration in his voice. “Your footwork went from awkward to smooth. You have more natural grace than many noble ladies who’ve been practicing since childhood.”

“I was just dancing casually,” I said, looking away quickly. “I barely managed not to stomp on Samson’s shoes.”

I wanted to escape this uncomfortable situation quickly, but then I heard Derrick’s voice again, carrying a gentle insistence I couldn’t refuse. “My beautiful lady, may I invite you for another dance?”

His hand stopped in front of me, palm facing up, and I could see the slight curve of his knuckles from the tension in his grip.

Curious glances from nearby guests drifted our way. I was caught between a rock and a hard place. Refusing too bluntly would be rude, but accepting would go against my intention to keep my distance from him.

Just then, a steady, familiar voice sounded from behind me.

It was Samson.

“According to Eclipse Pack’s ball etiquette,” his voice was low and calm, carrying undeniable authority. “Dance partners determined by the draw are bound for the entire event and cannot be changed midway.”

I immediately chimed in, the tension in my fingertips finally easing. “I’m so sorry, Derrick. I drew number 56, which matches your brother’s number. I really can’t dance with you.”

After I finished speaking, Derrick’s hand froze in midair. He was clearly disappointed.

But he quickly withdrew his hand, and a soft chuckle came from beneath the silver mask. “I forgot about the rules. Then next time during pack training, I’ll ask you for a dance.”

I nodded quickly, my eyes following him as he turned and faded back into the crowd before I finally let out a long breath of relief.

Suddenly, before I could fully recover, all the lights in the venue went dark with a whoosh.

After a brief uproar, I heard the sound of wheels rolling closer, accompanied by the melody of the birthday song.

“Happy birthday to you…”

I looked toward the source of the sound.

Through the faint glow, I could see Josh and Alan pushing an enormous fruitcake toward the center of the room. Candles on the cake flickered warmly, and the top tier was decorated with cream shaped into the Eclipse Pack’s totem.

The surrounding guests joined in the singing one by one. Even Alice inside me started humming along with the tune, saying the melody made her soul feel warmer.
