Alpha's Substitute Bride - Chapter 116
Chapter 116: New Year’s Eve
Eloise’s POV:
The matter of the vampires had not been completely resolved, so I had to continue to work on it. However, I found it very difficult to find traces of vampires or possibly werewolves. Although they had left some hints initially, they all disappeared after leaving the building. This proved that at least a very powerful person was helping them hide the truth.
All the clues ended there, and there was almost no trace. It was like walking on a flat road and suddenly arriving at a cliff.
I couldn’t hold on any longer.
For someone like me, this was too difficult. However, I knew that if I could get through this, I’d be able to stand firm here. That was very important to me.
That was why I was still looking forward to finding a breakthrough point, even though I still couldn’t find it.
“You should rest and change your mind.” That was what my wolf told me.
“You’re stuck here now and won’t get any benefits.”
“I understand. That’s why I’m standing here now.” I stood on the terrace, stretching as much as I could. It was only then that I noticed the changes in the surrounding furnishings. Many people were still busy hanging the decorations on the wall.
It was as if they were going to celebrate some festival.
However, I was so immersed in my work that I couldn’t remember which holiday it was. I only knew that the weather was getting colder.
“The whole house seems to be very lively today.” I looked at my surroundings in shock.
“Of course, it’s New Year’s Eve, after all.” 1 didn’t know when Soren got here. He handed me a piece of cupcake, just like how we would do it when we were young.
“So it’S already this time,” I said in surprise as I took the cupcake. We walked into the hall. More people were setting up something, which brought a strange atmosphere.
This made me recall everything that I had experienced before. Back then, we didn’t have so many problems. We lived together, and it was still very. .
I thought of Atticus again. He was always the most dazzling one in school. Even though he didn’t look as strong as some werewolves, he could always defeat them. It was also at that time that everyone thought he would become an Alpha.
But I didn’t fall in love with him then. I only remembered that one afternoon, when he passed by me, the sun shone on him, making him look like he was glowing.
The memory was still beautiful, but there was nothing else worth remembering about Atticus besides it.
‘Treasure everything you have now, ” my wolf warned me.
‘You can stop dwelling on the past.”
“I understand.” I sighed, took the cupcake, and left the hall.
I had to continue my life.
There was always a New Year’s Eve banquet. It was inevitable that everyone would attend. I’d already prepared myself for all kinds of unfriendly gazes that day. I was no longer the same person as before. I had the confidence to deal with all this.
However, I wasn’t surprised that Atticus would be here. After all, with his status, he would be invited if he lived here.
I only hoped that he could find a suitable female companion. At least nothing would happen between us again.
I found Atticus standing in the corridor when I left, looking a little anxious. A man was standing before him, but I didn’t know him. However, it was evident that they went their separate ways when I got close.
It was as if they were discussing something that couldn’t be exposed to the public.
This piqued my interest instead. But it was only for a moment. With his status, he didn’t need to report anything to me. After all, I didn’t have any special status here. But the worst thing was that while I was watching him, he also started to watch me.
I couldn’t escape.
“Hello, Atticus.” I tried my best to be polite. Regardless of whether he would look at me in the end, this was what I should do..
