Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth
I turned to find Zoe, her usually perfect blonde hair plastered to her forehead and her mascara smudged around her eyes.
“Some festival, huh?” she said, wiping water from her face with a small towel.
I forced a smile. “We couldn’t have predicted this. At least everyone’s safe inside now, and the festival can go on.”
Zoe paused, wiping her face one last time. When she moved the towel away, I saw that her eyes were a bit narrowed, glinting with something I couldn’t quite read. “Maybe we should have seen it coming. A freak storm on the day of the Lunar Festival? Seems like more than just bad luck to me, don’t you agree?”
