Chapter 524 A Date With Vampire Prince *Selena*

Oh, Goddess! What had I gotten myself into? Agreeing to go to lunch with Prince Damon on impulse just to annoy Zander seemed like a brilliant idea at the time, but now I was freaking out. I barely knew anything about Prince Damon, and the thought of going to lunch with him was nerve-wracking.

Agh!

Sometimes I wished I could just bang my head against a rock instead of acting on impulse.

But whenever Zander was around, my brain seemed to shut down, and rational thinking went out the window.

As I had the entire day off, I thought I could focus on some work after this lunch debacle. It was just a lunch, right?! It would be over before I knew it, or maybe I could find a way to end it early or come up with a few good excuses.

Lost in my thoughts and planning an escape from this sudden date with the vampire prince, I was suddenly yanked to a corner, startling me out of my reverie.

"Emile, you scared me," I huffed, recognizing her.

"It's been a week since you joined this pack. When are you going to finish this task?" Emile asked with a disdainful expression on her face.

The task!

"Emile, you're talking about the most impenetrable data system in the world. Hacking into it isn't easy, and my last attempt was a near-disaster. But I've been working on my program, and it's almost ready. Tonight, I'll hack into Moonglow's security system," I declared with a hint of determination in my voice. "Tonight?" she warned, her sharp gaze fixed on me.

"Tonight," I assured her.

Emile left swiftly, ensuring no one spotted us together.

After retreating to my room, I took the time to prepare for this unexpected lunch. I settled on a sophisticated black midi dress that accentuated my figure, paired with elegant heels. A light touch of makeup enhanced my features, and I gathered my hair in a high ponytail.

As I returned to the hall, I noticed that everyone had dispersed to attend to their own tasks, and even Zander was nowhere to be found. However, to my surprise, the Vampire Prince was still there, waiting patiently for me. His presence commanded attention, and I couldn't help but feel a flutter of nerves as he complimented me.

"You look beautiful, Arabella," he said with a warm smile, extending his hand towards me. I chuckled softly and placed my hand in his.

"Ah, I was wondering why you hadn't called me Arabella yet," I teased. He responded with a charming smirk, clearly enjoying the playful banter.

"So you want me to call you Arabella?" he inquired, and I quickly shook my head.
