Karl
As I watch Abby disappear into the crowd, the lingering echoes of the music from our dance still
resonate in my mind. It’s a strange mix of emotions that washes over me—happiness from the dance, a
sense of loss as she leaves, and a tinge of uncertainty about what will happen after tonight.
But before I can fully process my thoughts, I’m suddenly interrupted by Daniel, the Alpha who had
questioned me earlier about Abby and Shana. He approaches with a confident smile, and I brace
myself for the conversation that’s about to happen.
“Karl,” he begins, “I couldn’t help but notice that Shana left. What happened?”
I take a moment to choose my words carefully. The last thing I need is more rumors spreading about
me.
“Nothing much to it,” I say casually. “Shana and I had a conversation. We realized that our feelings
weren’t as deep as we thought, and we decided it was best to part ways. It was a mutual decision.”
Daniel nods approvingly, seemingly satisfied with my explanation. “I see. Well, it’s better to end things
amicably than drag them out. And I must say, Abby looked absolutely stunning tonight. I saw you two
on the dance floor. You two make a great pair.”
A genuine smile tugs at the corners of my lips. Abby did look amazing tonight. Dancing with her was
the highlight of the night, the week, hell—even the month. “Thanks, Daniel.”
Daniel pats me on the back. “Rooting for you, Karl. Always.”
I nod and watch as he walks away, leaving me lost in thought once again. Ethan and Gianna then catch
my eye, and I realize that they’re both looking at me expectantly. Even though I think I’d rather lose a
limb than talk with Gianna right now, I know I should head back for the sake of appearances.
As I take my seat, Ethan looks at me with curiosity. “Where’s Abby?” he asks.
“She had to go back to the kitchen,” I explain, my voice tinged with disappointment. “There was a rush
of orders, and she’s needed there.”
Ethan sighs. “Ah. I wish we could have caught up more. It’s been so long since we hung out.”
“I know. But she was glad to see you, really.” For a moment, I glance at Gianna, but her face is an
inscrutable mask. I can practically feel her seething, though.
Ethan nods, a smile playing on his lips. “Well, it looks like you and Abby are on good terms again.”
“You could say that,” I reply vaguely, not wanting to get too into detail just in case.
As I’m speaking, Gianna, who has been quiet all night, scoffs under her breath. It’s not lost on me, and
my patience with her is wearing thin.
“Problem, Gianna?” I ask, my tone annoyed.
Gianna raises an eyebrow, feigning innocence. “I don’t have a problem, Karl.”
I know she’s full of shit. She’s been scowling all night, and for good reason; did she really think she
could just waltz in here with my brother after everything she did and get away with it? Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“You know,” I start, my tone dropping. “Don’t think for a second I’ve forgotten—”
“You’re right, brother,” I say, forcing a wry smile. “We’ll talk later.” Updаted at Drамanоvels.cом
Ethan places a reassuring hand on my shoulder. “Thanks, Karl. I appreciate it. Let’s just enjoy the party
for now.”
I just wish that I still had Abby beside me, grounding me.
