Chapter 39: Unexpected Guest

Astrid’s POV

Blood drained my face when I recognized Giselle’s familiar face. All along, the guest that Alpha Everest was waiting for was her. I would have never expected to see her again here.

“Alpha Everest, you didn’t say you also have other visitors.” I immediately turned my head around when her gaze fell on us.

‘What is she doing here?‘ I wondered as my heart raced rapidly inside my chest.

“They have only just informed us that they were coming. I hope you don’t mind, Lady Giselle. Please meet Lady Nova and Lady Stella from the Nightsong Pack,” Alpha Everest pointed to us.

I couldn’t turn around my head to face her, in fear that she would immediately see through my disguise.

On the other hand, Nova didn’t say a word. She is not the type of person who can fake pleasantries to someone she doesn’t like.

“Lady Giselle is here as a representative for the Silvermoon Pack. She would stay here for a few days with us,” Alpha Everest saved the conversation when we showed no interest in talking to Giselle.

My heart twitched inside my chest when I heard Alpha Everest’s introduction. She’s here as the Silvermoon Pack’s representative, huh? They had already replaced me. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Isn’t that what I wanted? Why do I feel angry deep inside?

“They are from the Nightsong Pack? I’m glad to see someone

who is related to our Pack, Giselle said in a bubbly voice.

“Come join us eat, Lady Giselle. I’m sorry that we have eaten ahead. How was your travel?” Alpha Everest treated Giselle with utmost care as soon as she arrived.

He had forgotten about us and gave her his full attention, treating her with higher importance. This just shows how eager he is to sign an alliance with a powerful Pack like the Silvermoon Pack. This will make it hard for us to convince him

to choose us.

I tried to hide my face as well as I could from Giselle’s sight. With my blonde hair, I’m sure she was not expecting me to be me, but of course, I couldn’t hide my face from her all day.

Alpha Everest even pulled out the chair for her. When she finally sat down and got a good look on my face, her face held the same reaction as mine earlier. Disbelief crossed her features, and anxiety coursed through her.

I maintained my calm expression and completely ignored her, pretending that I was too focused on eating the food.

“Stella, should we go to our room now?” Nova called my attention.

“Your name is Stella?” Giselle asked me with her eyes wide

open.

I locked gazes with her and gave her a soft smile. “Yes,” I replied meekly.

Giselle questioningly gazed at me, doubting that I was telling the truth. I couldn’t blame her.

I’ve only bleached my hair blonde. I’m not wearing sunglasses, masks, or anything to cover some part of my face. It’s not like I

undergo cosmetic surgery. Even those who got something done on their face would still be recognizable after.

I admit we did a lame job in my disguise, but it’s only because I thought I wouldn’t meet people that I had met before.

Giselle suddenly smiled. Her anxious expression instantly vanished like it wasn’t even there before.

“Why are you leaving soon?” Giselle asked us as if she was sad to hear us leave.

“Yes, why don’t you stay with us for a moment?” Alpha Everest adds, supporting Giselle.

Nova smiled at them. “We already ate as much as we could, Alpha. Right now, we are tired, and we just want to rest.”

Nova grasped my hand and pulled me out of the room without waiting for their response.

“Why would Killian send her here?!” Nova hissed under her breath when we were finally alone outside.

“They are preparing her to take the Luna title,” I answered emotionlessly, making Nova realize her question.

The fact that Giselle is here as the Silvermoon Pack’s representative just shows that they are planning to transfer Pack matters under Giselle’s care because she would someday need to handle them.

“They must have tasked her to have the alliance signed,” Noval scoffed. “We need to convince Alpha Everest to cooperate with us. We can’t let that woman win against us,” Nova tells me determinedly.

I have closed so many deals for the Silvermoon Pack before.

This would be an easy task.

“Lady Stella and Lady Nova. It’s you, right?” A woman approached us, making us stop. “I’m Crystalia, Lucinda’s mother.”

My eyes widened. If she’s Lucinda’s mother, then that means she’s the Frostbite Pack’s Alpha.

“Luna Crystalia,” I bowed my head before, but she lifted my head up and looked at me with a soft smile on her face.

Luna Crystalia looked like a kind person with her eyes slanted downwards.

“There’s no need to address me as the Luna. You saved my daughter’s life.” Luna Crystalia coughed badly, which showed that she was in poor health.

“Luna Crystalia, are you okay?” I asked her worriedly.

“I’m just sick,” Luna Crystalia answered. “I want to thank you. personally for saving my daughter.”

“There’s no need to thank us; we are just glad that we met her,” I answered.

Crystalia smiled. “I hope I could ask for a favor.”

“Ask us anything,” I assured her.

After a little hesitance, she finally said, “Can you please spend more time with my daughter? My daughter trusts you, and she rarely trusts anyone. Perhaps she would talk if you talked to her.”
