His Knees 86
I stood there, stunned but exhilarated, watching the shock spread through the crowd. Whispers started to ripple through the room, and guests exchanged confused glances, unsure of how to react. Just moments before, they had been witnessing Sienna's breakdown, and
now they were watching a proposal that no one had seen coming.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Nathan pulled out a shining ring, its brilliance glowing under the bright lights of the venue. He looked into my eyes, and for the first time, I saw determination in his gaze. It felt like he was reclaiming his power after everything Sienna had put him through. The difference between Sienna's chaos and our unexpected moment made it even more exciting.
The audience shifted from shock to excitement, their phones recording every second. I could hear reporters already talking about the headlines they would write about the Alpha's new love. The energy in the room changed from despair to exhilaration as everyone realized they were watching a dramatic love story unfold right in front of them.
The originally planned Johnson PACK Alpha wedding was now a public spectacle, and the bride's betrayal was just the icing on the cake. The audience had not only witnessed Sienna's downfall but also Nathan's unexpected proposal.
As I stood there, looking down at the ring Nathan had just presented to me, I felt a sense of victory swelling inside. It was the Heart of the Forest ring, a beautiful piece, shimmering with emeralds and gold.
It was worth a fortune, but I couldn't help but compare it to the ring on my own finger-the Heart of the Moon. That ring, resting on my hand, was far more valuable, both in terms of money and what it represented. Nathan's eyes were full of hope. "Doris," he said softly, "I've worked hard for so long to find this ring. I hope it shows how much I care. I want to make things right.

Maybe-maybe I can make you fall in love with me again."
I looked at him, taking a moment to absorb what he had said. Did he really think
he could win me over with a ring? After everything he'd done? I took a deep breath, and with slow, deliberate movements, I raised my hand, allowing the Heart of the Moon to catch the light. It sparkled far brighter than his offering. "I don't need your ring, Nathan," I said, my voice calm but cold. "I already have a better one."
The words hit him like a slap. I could see the pain flicker in his eyes, but I didn't care. This was the moment I had waited for, the moment where I could finally show him that he no longer had any power over me. I stood tall, feeling every bit the queen I knew I was, and watched as his face crumbled.
The atmosphere behind us burst into chaos. Sienna, who had been glaring at me with venom in her eyes, suddenly burst into a fit of rage. She sprang toward Stefan, her voice sharp and frantic.
"This is your fault!" she screamed, jabbing a finger in his chest. "You're the reason all of this is happening! You and your stupid ideas!"
Stefan wasn't having it. "My fault?" he yelled back, his face flushed with anger. "You're the one who brought this whole mess into our lives! Don't blame me for your failures!"
Their argument surged quickly, their shouting becoming louder and more chaotic. Sienna's face was red with fury, and Stefan's voice grew more aggressive with each passing second. They were completely losing control, throwing insults and accusations at each other in front of everyone. It was a full-blown spectacle.
II stood there, feeling a strange satisfaction as everything fell apart. Nathan, who had been focused on me moments ago, was now caught in the middle of their fight. He tried to step between them, his face pale, but it only made things worse. Sienna pushed him aside, her eyes wild.
"You ruined everything!" she shrieked at Stefan, her voice cracking with emotion. "Everything!"
People in the crowd started murmuring, some of them stepping back to avoid the chaos. Others, however, were pulling out their phones, recording the entire mess. I caught sight of a few people whispering and pointing in my direction, their faces lit up with shock and intrigue. The media sprang into action. Cameras were pointed at me, flashes going off in every direction.
The media reporters around me were buzzing with excitement as they spotted my ring, their eyes lighting up like kids in a candy store. I thought it was strange that they were more interested in the ring than the chaos of the wedding that had just happened. Sure, the ring was beautiful and expensive, but how could it be more important than what was going at the venue.
I couldn't understand it. How could a piece of jewelry overshadow such a dramatic scene? As they crowded around me, snapping pictures and shouting questions, I felt confused and amused at the same time.
One reporter pushed forward, his voice loud and eager. "Doris, is that the Heart of the Moon? Are the rumors true? Are you really engaged to the Alpha?"
