Lydia Since I had now decided to stay, I tried to find Nina, so I could hang out with her briefly until Nicholas got back. I didn't know if she was still around or if she had gotten busy with her mate, but either way, I tried to find her because I didn’t want to be bored alone. On my way to Nina, I happened to spot Beta Liam at a distance, and he looked like he was on the verge of suffocating. I noticed that numerous women were surrounding him, with all of them giggling and laughing away like they were having the best time of their lives, while Liam seemed like he wanted nothing more than to run away. Since he was so preoccupied with the women, I decided against bothering him and attempted to just keep searching for Nina, but all of a sudden, I heard the Beta’s voice call out my name, and I’m halted In my tracks. I turned around to look at him and as soon as I did, I noticed that he was already walking towards me and I had a feeling that he had only called out my name to use

Third Person Pov Lydia was having a conversation with Nina and her mate when a strange feeling suddenly overwhelmed her. She normally doesn't strongly feel Nicholas's emotions because even though they were bonded as mates, Nicholas was emotionally distant by nature, and it was very difficult to feel his emotions because of how guarded he was but strangely, she felt a strong emotion from him all of a sudden, and she instantly knew that that emotion was nothing but anger. As soon as she felt it, the first thought that crossed her mind was to quickly find out where he was and what was going on with him. Liam had already told her earlier that anger was an emotion that Nicholas should not feel on a day like this because being the kind of person that he was, he would have zero control over himself. And once he allowed his anger to get the best of him, he would completely lose it and become unstoppable, especially on a day like this where his strength would be tripled and so would his emot

Third Person Pov “I told you he had a relationship with her, didn't I?” Priscilla said, referring to Nicholas and Lydia. When she had told her mother previously that she suspected that there was a relationship between Lydia and Nicholas, Henrietta refused to believe it because she didn't think that Nicholas was capable of being in a relationship with anyone. Priscilla had noticed that even though Nicholas didn't say anything the day she purposely messed with Lydia, he was obviously upset by the things she did and said to Lydia and his face couldn't hide his emotions at all. “But how is that even possible? That stupid boy hasn't been interested in any woman in the past twenty-eight years, and you better than anyone knows just how many better-looking women we sent to seduce him. How did he end up falling for this one?” Henrietta wondered, unable to understand how her stepson had gotten into a relationship with Lydia in such a short time. She had tried on several occasions to us

Third Person Pov Everyone watched as Banzi the priest daringly approached Nicholas with a stern expression on his face. No one understood why he had suddenly yelled that the moon goddess was unhappy on such an auspicious day, and they were even more confused when he suddenly started to approach the Alpha. Nicholas didn't recognize who Banzi was, and he had no idea why this person had suddenly mentioned that the moon goddess was unhappy and why he was approaching him. He looked around and noticed the expression of familiarity on the people's faces, and he immediately noted that people around him already knew who this person was, and it seems they had an idea of why he was getting approached by this person. “Do you know this person?” Lydia whispered quietly as she watched Banzi walk toward them. She recognized him as soon as she saw him and knowing the reputation that Banzi had, she knew that there was no way he was up to any good. Banzi, the priest, was a popular name in town and

Third Person Pov Liam had given Lydia and Nicholas privacy and gone back to sort out the mess that was created at the party. Nicholas had wanted to be alone because he had a lot on his mind, but he couldn't possibly tell Lydia to leave. He knew that he was the one who kept her here in the first place, and it would be selfish of him to ask her to leave, knowing that he was the reason she stayed behind. Both Lydia and Nicholas were seated on the sofa in the room, and Lydia could sense that Nicholas was worried and unhappy. She didn't know what to say to him that could lift his mood, but she was trying to avoid saying anything that would upset him because she knew that his tolerance was very low at the moment. “I'm so sorry that you have to be here to deal with all of this,” Nicholas suddenly said to Lydia's surprise, and she looked back at home with a confused expression on her face. “And what exactly is it you're apologizing for?” she asked, wondering what it was that he felt sorr
