David was embarrassed that the gift Alexander had presented to me was so much nicer than the ring he had used during our wedding ceremony, but he was hiding it well. He was good at pretending, after all.

That was how he had hidden his true intentions from me for so long in the original timeline. He chatted politely with our guests and kept his arm wrapped around my waist as we meandered around the venue.

A few people commented on the extravagant gift of the Silver Lake jewels, but David only scoffed at them and said that the sentimental value of his grandmother’s ring outweighed the cost of the jewels

Every time my wine glass was empty, David rushed to get me another drink.

I drank slowly, not wanting to get so drunk that I would mess up the plan. I couldn’t refuse to drink, though. David had to believe that I was drunk so that he would feel safe sneaking off to Amanda’s room tonight.

I tried not to let it bother me that it was all for nothing.

I still saw Alexander around the venue occasionally. He was using the wedding as a good opportunity to network with other important alphas and lunas. There were a lot of people whose support he would need in order to win the alpha king election.

He would want to keep a distance from the scandal that was coming.

After a couple of hours, people started to politely say goodbye. It was getting late, and the older guests were beginning to make their way home.

While David and I were saying our goodbyes to the alpha and Luna of the Red Oak pack, I noticed Alexander walking toward the exit.

For a moment, our eyes met, and he gave me a small, knowing smile. My heart leapt at the look. I felt a little embarrassed by my reaction, but I knew that no one could have noticed it.
