Chapter 0321


    Abby


    “Karl! Abby! Over here!”


    Karl and I exchange nces with each other before we decide to head over to the table where Ethan


    and Gianna are waiting. Despite Gianna’s presence, Ethan’s smile is a beacon of happiness, and I’m


    d to see it.


    Although Ethan was in hisa for the majority of the time that Karl and I were together, I always liked


    him. He was a good brother to Karl, a genuine person and a kind soul.


    It was heartbreaking when he fell into hisa, and yet at the same time it was like a new chapter;


    Karl became the Alpha and ruled the pack in his brother’s ce, and I became the Luna.


    I have hope that the two brothers will be able toe to some sort of amicable conclusion about their


    status, and I know that it won’t end poorly between the two of them. They’re all each other has, after all.


    But then there’s Gianna.


    She’s like a dark stain on the night, and an even darker stain on our history. With Gianna by Ethan’s


    side, it also fills me with a sense of dread.


    There’s no telling what she’ll do to smear Karl’s reputation through the mud, and if she’s already


    somehow managed to manipte Ethan into falling in love with her, I can only imagine what she’ll be


    able to aplish.


    On one hand, I want to believe in the power of true love, but on the other hand… I don’t trust this. Not


    one bit.


    Karl and I meet Gianna and Ethan at the table, where Gianna is already seated beside Ethan, her gaze

    averted to the drink menu in her hand. She doesn’t look up as we approach.


    Karl pulls my seat out for me, and I’m grateful that he chose the seat for me that’s the furthest from


    Gianna. After what she did, I don’t even want to breathe the same air as her.


    “Abby, I must say, I didn’t expect to see you tonight,” Ethan says, his eyes flickering with amusement as


    he looks at me—but not in an unkind way. “I thought Karl already had a date.”


    Gianna nces up, a flicker of something malicious in her eyes at this news. Karl’s jaw tightens a bit.


    “My date and I decided to go our separate ways,” Karl exins vaguely, his knee bumping against


    mine under the table. “And so Abby and I reconnected.


    “Well, I’m d to see it,” Ethan says with a kind glint in his eyes. “And, Abby, you catered tonight,


    correct?” he asks.


    I nod, choosing to ignore the way that Gianna rolls her eyes ever so slightly, her gaze averting back to


    her menu.


    “I did,” I exin. “Actually, this restaurant is mine.”


    Ethan’s eyes widen. “Really?”


    “Abby opened it after you went into youra,” Karl exins for me. “You missed a lot, brother.”


    A flush of warmth spreads across my cheeks at hispliment. “Thank you, Ethan,” I respond, feeling


    humbled.


    Before I know it, the table is covered in a wide array of food. Ethan eats ravenously, digging through


    tes of rare steaks and vibrant vegetables. Updated at Draмаnоvеls.cоm


    However, my gaze drifts to Gianna, who sits beside Ethan but hardly touches her te. She delicately


    picks at her food, her demeanor distant and guarded.
