“I’m really grateful. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.” I felt my world light up again.

Everything was going too smoothly. I couldn’t have imagined it. However, I couldn’t tell anyone about this now, or I’d easily lose this opportunity.

I could smell the scent again. It was like the grass after the rain or the ocean. It smelled like eating my favorite cake. I didn’t know how to describe it. In short, when I smelled that scent, I couldn’t control myself. I wanted to get closer to the source of the scent.

I almost fell into it. Even though I didn’t know what kind of person he was, I was already fantasizing about how I could lean against him.

‘Look at that, to the left!’ My wolf was screaming in my head. I looked in the direction it pointed and saw Lisa.

She was wearing an haute couture suit, but this didn’t make her the venue’s focus as she used to. She was trying her best to hide her figure. However, a man was beside her, and that man was holding her.

But, I was sure it was not Atticus.

Was that her brother or a friend? After all, she seemed to have a good relationship with this person. Or perhaps, that was her…

I didn’t dare to continue thinking about it. I treated it as if nothing had happened and continued walking toward the scent’s source.

That should be my mate. But who could it be? I was looking forward to it, but I was also worried. If it was really as my wolf said, he might be a dangerous person.

I turned around and saw Atticus. He was also looking at me.

Why was he here? As far as I know, his pack had almost no business related to this. Was it because of Lisa?

Could that scent be coming from him?

“No, definitely not. That must be some kind of perfume he uses.” I tried my best to remind myself. He was not my mate.

But the truth was, I couldn’t ignore him.

I was horrified to find that my eyes had been following him.

The distance between us was getting smaller. I was not the only one walking toward him. He was walking toward me too. I wanted to retreat, but my legs wouldn’t listen to me. Everything around him was like paint in a chaotic palette, twisted into strange shapes. He was the only one left intact.

He took me into his arms, and his lips touched mine.

He was like a magnet. I had no way to escape from his embrace, and I didn’t want to leave either. That familiar and pleasant scent enveloped me. The place he touched felt like it was electrocuted, and there was a numbing feeling.

But that was not sad at all. It made me feel like some kind of heat was flowing through my body. This made me feel even happier than when I had just received the praise of the staff.

I took the initiative to deepen the kiss, which almost caused the tip of my tongue to hit his teeth. It was only then that I recovered some of my consciousness. I pushed him away. His hands were still in a hugging position, which made him look like a statue.

Dear Moon Goddess, what did we do just now? I covered my mouth subconsciously.

“This shouldn’t have happened,” we said almost simultaneously..
