Chapter293.
“Can you two stop snarling?” Tina covered her nose, her eyes full of disgust for Emily and Mason.
“Where’s the pack guard? Are they just for show? Get these two out of here! Their presence is offensive!”
Preston, seeing an opportunity to impress Tina, went to summon the pack guard.
Emily, worried about being banished, told Mason,
“Mason, wait for me, I’ll visit the moon pool…”
And just like that, she left Mason to face the awkward situation alone.
The gala organizers, considering Mason’s status as a healer, didn’t let things escalate too far. However, after the incident, anyone approaching Mason was met with cold rejection.
When Emily returned, the immediate tension had eased. Only Mason’s face remained dark and intimidating.
“Mason…” Emily approached cautiously.
Mason had already consumed several cups of fermented moonberry juice, the scent strong on him.
Emily bit her lip and apologized. “Mason, I’m sorry; I shouldn’t have left you alone…”
“It’s not your fault!” Mason said furiously, his wolf bristling.
“It’s all Isabella’s fault! If she hadn’t interfered, things wouldn’t have gone so badly!”
Emily, tears welling in her eyes, shook her head weakly. “Mason, it’s my fault…”
“Emily, don’t blame yourself,” Mason suppressed his anger, gently comforting Emily. His wolf, though still agitated, softened at her distress.
“You lost to her only because you’re too kind… I’ll find another chance to issue her a challenge! If she dares to harm you again, I won’t hesitate!”
The host of the charity gala stepped onto the stage.
The large crystal screen on the stage displayed the live situation. The host faced the audience, grandly introducing the guest of honor. “We’re honored to welcome Alpha Smith of the Smith Clan to witness tonight’s grand event!” The camera focused on Grayson and me. We both wore smiles that were perfectly composed, elegant yet distant. Mason had gone to great lengths to secure invitations.
But we seemed to belong here, moving with effortless grace.
As if this were merely a casual stroll. Mason gritted his teeth, staring at the stage.
*Let them flaunt it for a while!* The gala had begun.
‘Let’s see how long Isabella can maintain this composure! His wolf growled inwardly.
