Chapter 60
He shook his head while he was still trying to fix his tie. “I’m fine, Mom. Don’t worry about anything.” She casually told Letizia, but she only chuckled softly and started to walk in his direction.
“Come here, sweetheart. Let me fix that tie for you.” Letizia said. Grant turned to face Letizia on his side and let her fix his tie. His mother was always so sweet and she was taking good care of him, but the worst decision she had ever made was to make Grant host a Annual Pack Gathering. “You’ve been fixing this tie for quite some time already yet you are not tense? That’s cute, Grant.” She sarcastically told him with a huge smile on her face. “Oh, there. It’s fixed. You look too formal and good-looking, I bet your mate will be there tonight.” She added, which made the Alpha’s forehead creased.
He didn’t want to talk much about it because talking about it was only making it hard to avoid. “Mom, I don’t really care if she’s there or not. I will go there to host the party, not to develop romantic interest.” He told Letizia with a straight face. He was too serious about it, but it only made his mother happy even more.
Letizia held him in his arms and smiled at him. “Sweetheart, why don’t you dance with her when you see her? Only if she’s there.” She said in a low and sweet tone of voice. She was only worried about her grandson for trying to reject his mate. According to those who experienced it, it was proven that it would bring bad luck to him if he would ignore his mate. There was no holding back, so if his mate was there, he had to come at it.
“No.” Grant strongly disagreed right away with full conviction. Being in the same room with Krisna was not even a good idea, what more if they would come close with each other? What would happen then? He couldn’t be close to Krisna or hold her, the pull was becoming stronger.
She just shrugged off her shoulders and pouted. “Well, you could at least give it a try, sweetheart. Oh, that would be perfect.” She still insisted.
“Mom, dancing with her is not a good idea, believe me. Why don’t we just go since the Annual Pack Gathering is about to start? Shall we?” Grant put his hand around his mother’s shoulders and guided her to go out of the room.
Nothing good will ever come when it was Letizia’s time to suggest things that he should do. He didn’t want to go near Krisna or anyone anymore. He was so done with all of these women.
“Dance with her? Ha, that’s absurd.” He thought to himself as he was shaking his head for disapproval.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
3rd Person POV
The destined day had finally arrived, in just 10 minutes or so, the Annual Pack Gathering would commence. It was the day that all of these guests were waiting for, some of them would meet their fated mate during this event, some of them would make new friends and new memories. It was certainly a night to remember. Looking at the night skies, tonight was a full moon which made everything look perfect. Today would be the day where the new history would begin.
Everyone was entering the venue hall one by one with their stunning and lavishing dresses for the women while pleasing and exquisite tuxedos for men. All of them were able to execute their own outfits. At the end of the long red carpet was a photo booth on the left side where guests were free to take pictures of them to give them a chance to ramp their dresses.
Mabelle and her squad were there taking pictures and her eyes turned to look at Asthrid who was passing by the red carpet, so she gave her a flying kiss as a sign of their plan to start. The moment that Krisna walked past them, they all started to laugh.
“Who is that trash? Huh? Krisna?” Mabelle walked over and laughed in her face. She and Asthrid secretly gave each other a high five. “Did you seriously bring your maid here? Wow, that’s disgusting.” She commented with a disgusted look, but Asthrid swayed her hand with a huge smile on her face. Krisna just looked at her without minding what she was saying. She didn’t want to cause a scene in the venue so she zipped her mouth and went on with the flow.
“Well, I had to. I don’t want to leave her behind while I am partying, I am feeling sorry for her that’s why I brought her over. Look, isn’t this a pretty-looking dress?” She sarcastically said then they both laughed and looked at her like she was really total trash.
Mabelle continuously nodded to agree with her then she looked at Krisna from head to toe. That was the dress that she gave Asthrid so she could give it to Krisna. She smiled because of the thought that successfully brought her to the venue hall. “Yes, yes, of course. That’s a perfect dress, perfect for a maid like her. That’s right, she should just wear something that belongs to her level.” She commented with her eyes in fury, but her lips were smiling. She really had a grudge against Krisna just by looking at her.
She wanted to land a punch on the faces of these two. They were sabotaging her right from the start and they should thank Krisna that she was not fighting back although it was her pride that was on the line. She’d just listen to what they were saying and she wouldn’t absorb any of it. Just go on, there were only a few hours until she could finally run and escape then she wouldn’t have to hear any of their insults anymore.
It had just begun, now the only thing that they had to do was to embarrass her. There were a lot of people present at the event who came from different kinds of packs and most of them were from royals and high ranks. It would really be embarrassing if they do something against her later on.
Krisna finally arrived inside the venue hall together with Asthrid, they were on the right side at the front seat. Asthrid was sitting while Krisna was standing on the side like she was some kind of introverted person. Well, she kind of was, but it was still not good looking at her standing on the side alone. She was at a social event, so she should go and make friends by socializing.
The event was a huge success, they successfully finished all the decorations, sound system, other equipment, and catering services. All of Grant’s effort finally paid off just by seeing how successful tonight was.
