Chapter 0310

    The Alpha party is in full swing, and I’ve got Shana on my arm, introduced as my date for the evening.


    We make our entrance onto the dancefloor, and immediately, I sense the eyes of the other Lunas—the


    ones who used to be Abby’s ‘friends’, and also who I just so happened to kick out of Abby’s restaurant


    for being rude.


    There’s a distinct smirk on their faces as they nce our way.


    I try to ignore their nces and maintain a smile, acting as if I’m unfazed by their scrutiny. Shana looks


    stunning in her elegant dress, and for a moment, I’m genuinely grateful to have her by my side.


    As we navigate through the crowd, people start to approach us, making small talk and dropping not-so-


    subtle hints about my past with Abby.


    “Karl, I heard you’ve moved on from Abby,” one Luna says with a sly grin. “It took you long enough.”


    I nod politely. “Yes, Shana and I are together now. Abby and I are still friends, though. I’m proud of her


    and her career taking off.”


    Another Luna chimes in, “I heard Abby might attend the party for a while. After her TV appearances,


    perhaps she’s got some… ‘fans’ here who might want to see her.”


    I offer a nonchnt smile. “Well, if she does drop byter, she deserves it. She’s put in a lot of hard


    work.”


    The conversations continue in a simr vein, and I can’t help but feel like I’m constantly defending my


    choices. Shana, on the other hand, seems uninterested in engaging with the other guests.


    It’s clear she’s not particrly interested in socializing, and our interactions are limited to the


    asional dance or a brief exchange of words.


    We take to the dance floor, and as we move to the music, I find myself lost in thought. Shana’s a nice


    enough girl, but there’s an undeniableck of chemistry between us.


    Even dancing with her feels stiff and choreographed. It feels more like a formality than a genuine


    connection. Is this what my life would be like if she became the future Luna—nd and uneventful?


    I lead Shana through a graceful waltz, our movements perfectly timed butcking the passion and


    intensity I’ve felt on the dance floor with Abby in the past. She follows my lead dutifully, her gaze


    asionally drifting to something or someone else in the room.


    The music changes to a livelier tune, and I make an attempt at conversation. “Having a good time?:


    Shana offers a small smile. “Yes, it’s a lovely party.”


    I nod in agreement, but there’s an awkward silence that follows. It’s bing increasingly clear that


    Shana isn’t interested in engaging in a meaningful conversation.


    I decide to press on. “Do you like parties like this?” I ask.


    She hesitates for a moment, as if searching for an answer. “I don’t mind them.”


    As the night continues, I can’t shake the feeling of boredom that''s settled over me. The party is

    extravagant, the food is exquisite, and the music is lively, but there’s something missing. It’s not the


    same as the parties I used to attend with Abby, where every moment was filled withughter, genuine


    conversation, and shared passions. Content of Drаm??ovels.cоm
