Skylar's POV:
Although I pretended to be magnanimous and like it wasn't a big deal at all, I was suffering a lot in my
heart.
I felt like I was about to be driven crazy by this love triangle that I was trapped in.
As I watched Jerome and Linda dance together, I had a bitter taste in my mouth.
The two of them looked like a perfect match.
I felt as if a knife was stabbing into my heart, but something stopped me from competing for Jerome.
The thought of taking him away from the woman who had met him first made me feel guilty.Just like
Linda said, wasn't I the home-wrecker here? But when I fell in love with Jerome, there were no women
in his life.
What was more, we were mates designated by Moon Goddess.
How could it be wrong for me to be with him? On the dance floor, my mate continued to dance with
another woman.
With one hand on Jerome's shoulder, Linda kept her back straight and moved gracefully.
With her elegant posture, she looked like a beautiful red rose.
The music playing in the background was slow and romantic, and the two of them seemed to be lost in
the moment.
Gradually, they became closer and closer.
With a lump stuck in my throat, I quickly turned my head away from them.
I couldn't bear to watch any longer.
There were a lot of guests at the dinner party, but I sat alone.
I felt like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole.
I was not meant to be here.
I took a bottle of champagne and hid in a corner, drinking alone.
As my eyes started to become blurry, I saw Helen walk over.But why did was she wobbling on her
feet?
"Helen, let's drink together." I waved at her.
She clinked her glass with mine and took a gulp.
"Sure.Let's get hammered tonight.Come on, pour some more."
"You two, don't drink too much,"
Daniel chided gently, joining us at the table.
"No! I want to drink so much that I'll forget those annoying things."
As I spoke, I continued to drink crazily.
"I'll drink with you,"
Helen said with a cheerful smile.
Unable to dissuade us from drinking, Daniel had no choice but to join us.
Whenever Helen was distracted, he took the chance to secretly finish her glass of wine.
I felt happy for Helen when I saw what Daniel was doing.
She was lucky enough to find a good werewolf who loved her so much.
"Helen, when are you going back with Daniel?"
I asked Helen when I was still sober.
"In a few days.He'll take me to visit his parents."
Helen's tone was shy, and a blush colored her cheeks.
"That's great.I also want to go back and visit the Black Stone Pack.That's where I grew up.I miss it very
much," I said wistfully.
"You can go there with Jerome when he's free.There's no hurry."
Helen patted me on the shoulder.
She didn't understand what I meant at all.
Once I went there, maybe I wouldn't come back anymore.
After all, the Black Stone Pack was my hometown.
"Jerome is very busy these days.I'll just go alone.I don't want to bother him," I said bitterly.
"Skylar, it took you a lot of effort to be together.The two of you should cherish each other and not let
go." Helen bit her lip worriedly.
By this point, I was so tipsy that I couldn't see her face clearly.
"Thank you, Helen."
As I spoke, I continued to gulp down the wine.
"Let's not talk about it anymore.Come on, let's have a good time."
I raised my glass to the couple in front of me.
The three of us drank a lot of alcohol.
All I could remember was how much my throat burned, and how dizzy my head felt.
Daniel looked after us, secretly grabbing our glasses and emptying them from time to time.
Anthony's POV:
It seemed that Jennifer really liked children.
She was very happy while playing with Andy, and looking at the smile on her face lifted my spirits as
well.
I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if Jennifer and I had a child.
Would she play with our child happily like this? It would be wonderful.
Scenes of how our life would be in the future flashed through my mind.
We would have a child and enjoy each day as a family of three.
In our spare time, Jennifer and I could take our child out for a walk or for a trip.
"When are you going to have a child? You seem to be thinking about it a lot lately,"
Zane asked me in my mind.
"Zane, don't you think you talk too much?" I complained.
"Come on, Anthony, don't be shy. If you want a child, you should just hurry up and have one with
Jennifer! Don't you want to have sex with her tonight? It'll be so easy to get her pregnant," Zane
suggested.
"No way.I can't get Jennifer pregnant before marriage.I want to do things the right way," I said firmly.
I didn't know why my wolf was being such a bad influence.
"Fine, then.It's just a matter of time.Once you go back home, you'll be able to marry Jennifer.Then, you
can get her pregnant without any scruples." Zane sighed.
My wolf was right.
Now that I had found Gary and Dana, my plan was about to be carried out.
I had nothing to worry about.
All that was left for me to do was to propose to Jennifer and settle on a wedding date as soon as
possible.
"What you said makes sense,"
I told Zane after thinking for a while.
"Exactly.You should have already proposed to Jennifer.I don't know what you're waiting for.Take action
as soon as possible to avoid anything unexpected.And after the proposal, remember to make
passionate love with her."
"Zane, shut up!"
I wouldn't allow anything unexpected to happen between me and Jennifer again.
"Anthony, you're here.I've been looking for you for a long time.I want to dance with you."
Jennifer's voice came from behind me, followed by the touch of her hand on my arm.
I turned around and found that she was no longer with Andy.How long had I been standing here, lost in
my thoughts?
"Where is Andy?" I asked her.
"He went to dance with Jerome and Linda." Jennifer clucked her tongue in annoyance.
"Skylar is such a fool.I tried my best to create an opportunity for her, but Linda is the one who took
it.Now, Linda is dancing with Jerome, and even Andy has joined them.The three of them look like a
happy family, while the poor Skylar looks like an outsider."
I knew that the thing that was bothering Jennifer the most these days was the shaky relationship
between her brother and her best friend.
"Hey, don't think too much.No one can solve their problem except them.Besides, a dance is not a big
deal.Jerome will handle it properly.Don't worry too much,"
I said, trying to comfort Jennifer.
"Now come on.Let's dance."
I held out my hand to invite her to the dance floor.
Jennifer smiled and followed my lead.
With her hand on my shoulder and my arm around her waist, we danced to a smooth jazz number.
Our bodies moved in perfect cooperation.
At the end of the song, the crowd applauded for us.
Jennifer was immersed in our dancing, but my mind kept drifting away.
At this moment, I didn't just want to dance with her; I wanted to kiss her.
The urge grew stronger and stronger until I couldn't wait any longer.
The lights around us flashed like the stars in the sky.
Tightening my hold around Jennifer, I leaned in to kiss her.
The two of us kissed and embraced as if there was no one else around.
The woman I loved was in my arms.
What more could I ask for? I felt deeply content.
"What are you doing? We're surrounded by people,"
Jennifer hissed, lowering her head.
Her cheeks had gone red.
At this moment, she looked so beautiful that heat rose within me, and my cock jumped, as if it wanted
to stand erect.
I could only continue to hold Jennifer tightly in my arms.
When the music ended, I walked out of the crowd with her in my arms.All the guests cheered for us.
I knew that as soon as I got Jennifer alone tonight, I would make love to her until we were both
exhausted and satisfied.
I had never loved anyone as much I as I loved Jennifer.I wanted to cherish every single moment that I
had with her.
