Chapter 0327


    As the night continues, I can’t help but think about her. She looked so stunning under the party lights,


    her white dress fitting her perfectly, her golden hair cascading in gentle waves down her back.


    Ethan continues to chat with me, but my mind feels distant. Finally, I have to excuse myself from the


    table to slip away to the bathroom. I need a moment to breathe, to think clearly without my brother’s


    conversation or Gianna’s cold gaze.


    Leaning against the cool marble countertop, I close my eyes, allowing a few precious moments of


    silence to wash over me. But I’m not alone for long; my wolf’s presence strengthens, and I can feel him


    in the back of my mind.


    “Go to her now,” he says, sounding frustrated. “Confess your feelings. Tell her you want to get back


    together. Tonight.”


    I shake my head slightly, even though there’s no one in the restroom to see my silent conversation with


    my wolf. “Now is not the right time, and you know that,” I reply inwardly. “She’s busy catering the Alpha


    gathering. She’s worked so hard for this night, and she deserves to focus on her career.”


    My wolf growls low in his throat, his impatience evident. “You’re such a coward, Karl. You keep making


    excuses instead of going after what you want. You love her, and she loves you. What are you waiting


    for?”


    I consider his words for a moment. Maybe my wolf is right. After tonight, it feels like we could take

    things to the next level. But the thought of disrupting Abby’s work, especially on a night as important as


    this, gnaws at me.


    But he’s right; it’s either now or never.


    And I need to see her again, if only for a moment.


    As I exit the restroom and make my way down the hallway toward the kitchen, the swinging door


    opens, and I catch a glimpse of Abby. She’s in her element, cooking and talking with her staff, her


    My wolf’s voice echoes in my head, taunting me. “Do it, Karl,” he hisses. “She’s right there. What are


    you waiting for?”


    But I hesitate, my gaze fixed on Abby as she works tirelessly. I shake my head, taking a step back. I


    can’t bring myself to distract her now, not when she’s poured so much effort into this night. She


    deserves the chance to focus on her career without any interruptions.


    “Coward,” my wolf mutters once more, his voiceced with disappointment.


    I clench my jaw and turn away, heading toward the bar instead. Maybe a drink will help clear my


    thoughts and silence the persistent voice in my head.


    Chloe gives me a scowl as she prepares my drink. Her disapproval is evident, and as always, she


    doesn’t hesitate to voice her concerns.


    “I saw you with another woman tonight, right before you danced with Abby,” Chloe says, her tone


    sharp. “You had better not hurt her, Karl.”


    I raise an eyebrow, as I take my drink from her. “Chloe, you’ve got it all wrong,” I reply, my voice steady.


    “I have no intention of hurting Abby. I thought you knew that by now.”


    With a sigh, I decide it’s best to not argue about it tonight.


    “Chloe,” I say, raising my ss in a silent toast, “thanks for your insight.”

    With that, I turn away from the bar, taking a sip of my drink as I rejoin my brother and his hellish date.
