Samson’s eyes felt like a warin searchlight locked on my face. Even with the veil on, I could clearly feel him studying me.

Cold sweat subtly beaded in my palms, and the sound of my knife and fork scraping the plate became gratingly loud.

Alice was panicking in my head. “Did he figure it out?”

I instinctively lowered my head to avoid his gaze and let out a rough cough.

That finally pulled Samson’s attention away. He looked aside, picked up his water, took a sip, and said calmly, “Ms. Airel, there’s no need to be nervous.”

My chance had come.

I quickly raised a hand to hold my veil, letting my fingers pause near my cheek on purpose.

I lowered my voice even more. “I’m sorry, Mr. Ortega, Uncle Dalton. My pollen allergy is quite severe. My face is itchy and swollen, so it’s awkward to eat with you. I think I’ll return to my room.”

Before Samson could respond, Dalton chuckled and waved his hand. “Of course. Go get some rest. Don’t push yourself.”

I let out a quiet sigh of relief, gave a small nod, and fled out of the dining room.

Alice breathed a sigh of relief. “That was close! The way he was staring at you, he was practically trying to pierce the veil with his eyes.”

After the housekeeper brought the meal to my room, I ate quickly.

Out of nowhere, Bubby slipped in, wagging his tail and rubbing my leg.

“You little troublemaker.” I laughed, scratched his head, and got ready to walk him on the estate to digest a bit.

While we were walking, Dalton suddenly appeared in front of me with Samson beside him. “Airel, the Mooncrest Pack is having a fireworks show tonight in the square down the mountain. Why don’t you go with Mr. Ortega? It’s the least we can do as hosts.”

“I…” I instinctively wanted to refuse, but then I caught Samson’s look from the corner of my eye. He was leaning against the trellis, hands in his suit pockets, his gaze firm, leaving no roo

to say no.

Dalton added, “Mr. Ortega is an important guest. Going with him would also be a good chance to talk about some interesting things between the packs.”

At that point, I could only nod. “Okay.”

On the way down the mountain, Bubby ran ahead of us. Every now and then, he ran back and brushed against Samson’s ankle, like he was his dog.

The square was already packed. We found a quiet viewing spot and had just stopped when the first firework shot into the sky. Gold and red light rained down, lighting up Samson’s profile and softening his usually sharp features.

“Ms. Airel,” he said suddenly, his voice sounding low under the roar of the fireworks. “I’ve always felt like you remind me of a friend of mine.”

My heart pounded. My nails dug into my palm.

Alice held her breath. “Don’t panic! He has no proof. He’s just testing you!”

I forced myself to stay calm and asked in my rough voice, “Oh? What kind of person is this friend of yours?”

He watched the fireworks burst across in the night sky. His eyes softened, as if recalling a cherished memory. “People looked down on her,” he said. “They said she didn’t have a wolf spirit, dressed poorly, came from the countryside, and didn’t belong in the Eclipse Pack’s circle.”

He paused and turned to me, the seriousness in his eyes almost piercing the veil. “But to me, she’s brave and kind. Even when her own life was hard, she still wanted to help others and never backed down from danger.”

He was talking about me.

The words were like a hot stone hitting my heart, making my eyes sting with emotion.
