The 50th–anniversary banquet of the Wild Pack was held in the hotel banquet hall that bore its name.

I arrived early, my eyes darting to the entrance periodically, anxious for a glimpse of the werewolf who had been on my mind incessantly.

“Wendy, don’t worry, Mr. Holbrook will be here soon, Lilian, noticing my nervousness, reassured me.

“Is everything ready?” I glanced at Lilian.

“Of course, everything’s set, don’t worry,” she responde with a comforting smile.

“Okay.” I nodded, trying to calm my nerves.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, “Mr. Holbrook is here!”

All heads turned toward the entrance.

Caden entered, his presence nearly palpable. Dressed in a sleek, black handmade suit, he stood tall and imposing. His features were sharply defined, almost as if sculpted by divine hands, his aura one of undeniable nobility and allure. It was difficult to look away.

My heart raced as I watched him..

Tonight, if all went according to plan, the most coveted their of the Werewolf Continent would be mine.

The thrill of anticipation surged through me.

As Caden walked into the hall, reporters quickly gathered around him.

“Mr. Holbrook, are you attending the banquet alone today? Did you not bring a female companion?”

“Mr. Holbrook, the fact that you didn’t bring Ms. Rosaline Sinclair with you, does that mean you two have broken up?”

“Have you started dating Ms. Heidi Tessford? Can you give us some insight?”

Caden’s handsome face grew stern at the barrage of questions, and with a slight lift of his lips, he stated coolly, “I’m sorry, I’m not giving interviews.
