Semua Bab Stand-In Luna: The Alpha's Real Mate: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Wendy's POVSo much steak and venison...What exactly is Alpha Ken trying to do?Just as I was wondering, Alpha Ken pushed a large plate of venison toward Nick, smiling kindly as he urged, "Nick, have some more of this. It's good for your health."Nick gave an awkward smile as he looked at the mountain of venison piled in front of him."And this—steak. It's excellent, too." Before Nick could refuse, Alpha Ken had the servants bring over another platter of medium-well steak and set it right in front of him.I couldn't help but chuckle softly, lowering my voice to tease him. "Nick, is there something wrong with your body? Don't tell me the Moon Goddess hasn't blessed you."Nick's face darkened. He let out a cold snort before forcing a sharp smile through gritted teeth. "Wendy, you'll know the answer soon enough."After dinner, Alpha Ken practically herded Nick and me into his room."I'll just stay in the guest room," I muttered, rubbing my temples.Alpha Ken gave me a disapproving look.

Wendy's POV"I don't know if the company will be in trouble, but I'm certain you might be," I sneered, meeting Bena's self-righteous glare head-on.Bena froze. "Me? Why would I be in trouble?""As the head of the design department, you can't even tell which work is original and which is a copy. Don't you find that shameful?" I replied coolly.Her expression darkened, her anger bubbling to the surface. "What do you mean by that?""Exactly what I said." My tone was calm, my smile steady."Don't twist things! The fact is you plagiarized!" Bena raised her voice, clearly trying to pin me to the wall in front of everyone.Up until now, very few people have known about Roses Under the Moonlight design. But with her shouting, the entire secretary department had overheard.Suspicious gazes darted toward me, questioning. After all, Daphne was world-renowned, while I was just a newcomer, a secretary who had only been here a short while. And worse, I came from some remote tribal region—how could I

Wendy's POVTwo o'clock in the afternoon.The press conference for Roses Under the Moonlight began right on time.It was held in the luxurious conference hall on the eighteenth floor of the company building.I gave the venue one last check—everything was perfectly in place.I glanced down at my watch. Ten minutes to go.At two sharp, the press conference would officially begin.Today's attendees were all people of prominence—not just our new star ambassador, Daisy, and rising sports talent Dane, but also several heavyweights from the jewelry world. Even Nick had shown up in person.That alone spoke volumes about how much importance the Brown Pack attached to this launch.In the zone, reporters scrambled for the best positions, their faces full of anticipation, eager not to miss a single scoop.At exactly two o'clock, the conference kicked off.With every gaze in the room fixed on me, I stepped onto the stage at the front of the hall.The atmosphere was electric, the air thick with anti

Bruce's POVThe celebration banquet was held at the luxurious Moonlight Hotel in Los Angeles.Coincidentally, Bruce was staying at the Moonlight Hotel.After the press conference, he returned to his room to rest for a while. Just as he was about to change clothes and head down to the banquet, the doorbell suddenly rang.Thinking it was housekeeping, Bruce opened the door—only to find Bonnie standing there."Bonnie, what are you doing here?" Bruce's blue eyes flashed with impatience. "I've made myself very clear—we're over.""I know." Bonnie lowered her gaze, looking meek and obedient. "Bruce, I didn't come today to pester you."Bruce frowned in suspicion. "Then why are you here?"Bonnie bit her lip and spoke softly. "I know what I did before was awful, especially toward Miss Smith. I shouldn't have hated her. She scolded me only because I was at fault first. I truly regret everything I did."She paused, then added, "So I came to beg you to take me to tonight's banquet. I want to apolog

Wendy's POVThe night was quiet, the kind that made people feel at ease.I stood on the second-floor balcony, leaning against the railing, gazing up at the stars. My thoughts drifted far away.Nick dancing with Rina... what does that have to do with me?So why does it bother me so much inside?A cool breeze swept past, and I shivered slightly. Just as I was about to head back to the banquet hall, a female voice rang out:"Wendy, so here you are. I've been looking all over for you."I frowned and turned. It was a blonde, blue-eyed mixed-race woman—Bonnie.The memory of the unpleasant incidents with her earlier flashed in my mind, and wariness instantly tightened in my chest.I cast her a cool glance. "What do you want?""Yes," Bonnie walked toward me, carrying a tray with two glasses of red wine.She picked one up and held it out to me. "Miss Smith, tonight I came especially to apologize to you.""Apologize?" I looked at her suspiciously.Bonnie apologizing to me? As likely as the Moon
