Chapter 17: Please Help Me

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Eloise’s POV:

There were no humans or even werewolves around Atticus. This was because he was an Alpha.

But why was he here?

I’d always known that he hated this kind of event the most. He would never appear, just like it was difficult for the moon to appear during the day.

But he simply stood there, even holding a glass of wine. The humans who brought him wine left even faster than usual.

He had seen me standing with Soren. Otherwise, he would not have come to me like an angry beast.

I saw Jude from a distance. He was waving at me like an old friend. Dear Moon Goddess, why was I in the same industry as them?

My brain could not think at all, and I did not know how to deal with this situation.

“Did you come here to meet me again?”

Atticus’ voice was not loud, but it was very powerful. I was glad that no one else was standing beside me. Otherwise, they would have heard this.

But how could I have come here to see him? If I could, I didn’t want to see him again.

I couldn’t move anymore. I was even moving closer to him. He was like a magnet, constantly attracting me. The moment I touched him, I felt like I was about to faint.

He looked at me, even a little surprised. It was as if he didn’t understand why I was here.

“It’s you! We should have a dance.” He looked at the people who were having fun on the dance floor.

If it were in the past, I would be happy to have such an opportunity. But I didn’t think so anymore.

“Such contact will affect our lawyers’ judgment, won’t it? After all, we’re preparing for a divorce.” I tried my best to appear calm.

A broken relationship was also a fundamental reason for a marriage to end. I didn’t want to give up any chance to leave him.

“If you agree, I’ll consider asking my lawyer make an appointment with you. What do you think?” He looked at me.

I admitted that this was a condition that I couldn’t refuse. I could only put my hand on his shoulder and follow him to the dance floor.

His movements were a little slower than everyone else, as if he was especially cooperating with me. However, the truth was that I was still unable to keep up with his pace.

“Didn’t they teach you this?”

Was he clueless, or was he on Lisa’s side?

“Only their precious daughter needed to learn these etiquettes. In their eyes, I’m just an ordinary person who doesn’t need to understand these things,” I muttered.

I was very upset when I said that. After all, in his eyes, Lisa’s parents were very good people. I shouldn’t be putting myself in the opposition. But fortunately, he did not get angry.

“Alright,” he said.

Even though his expression didn’t change, I felt like my heart was being punched.

To my surprise, he only responded and pushed me aside. I could only helplessly turn around and try my best to stabilize my center of gravity.

But this really sucked.

“I hope someone can help me.”

Soren was standing not far away. I quickly walked over to him. I could feel the knife-like gaze on me, but I chose to ignore it.

At the very least, Soren could save me now and not bring me harm.

“That’s…” He followed my gaze and looked at Atticus. His expression became complicated.

He’d know about my recent experiences, so I didn’t want to explain anymore.

“Don’t talk about anything related to that person.” I sighed softly.

“Please, I’m begging you.”

“So, what can I do to help you now?” Soren paused and looked at me sincerely. “No, you’ve already done enough.” I shook my head and stood still to thank him.

That was because Atticus had disappeared from my line of sight..
