Chapter 27
Lsabella's pov :
I went to Jasper's place, he was not in the room.
Mr. Declan handed me a box: "Mr. Jasper suddenly had to go out in an emergency, he asked me to give you this dress, I hope Miss Lsabella can wear it to the party today."
I took the gift box, opened it and took a look, it was a beautiful dark green halter dress, the luster of the satin made this dress look very charming.
"Jasper is quite thoughtful..."
"Of course, our Alpha has always been very attentive to you."
A hint of doubt flashed through my mind, but I didn't delve into Mr. Declan's reply.
"I'll see you tonight."
"See you tonight, Miss Lsabella."
The hunting day campfire went on as planned.
I took the stage. I wore a dark green gown with a high split and a ruffled hemline that accentuated my beautiful figure, I wore no jewelry, and my fiery red curls fell over my shoulders.
Tonight I showed off my wild charm without reservation, I was destined to be the focus of the party.
When it really is, I heard people being shocked by my beauty to exclaim.
Sometimes I think that if I didn't have the responsibility of Blood Moon Pack's Alpha, it would be nice to just be a beauty.
Several other Alpha's, including Jasper, were already there.
The crowd cheered when they saw my arrival, and even Mr. Felix gave up his seat for me.
"I only give up my seat for the beautiful lady."
I tilted my head and smiled: "Thank you so much, Mr. Felix is such a gentleman."
My seat was right in the center of the area, and the crowd was surrounding me, and at the moment we were on equal footing.
Mr. Gilbert also greeted me: "Miss Lsabella, I heard that you shot a wild boar on hunting day, and did not transform the form, really impressive."
How did he know about this? I looked at Jasper, he looked as usual, but it seemed to me that he was the one who did it.
The good thing was that Mr. Gilbert was genuinely complimenting me, and I was in a good mood today and didn't mind.
"Mr. Gilbert overpraise, it's not because I was too careless and received a shot of inhibitor from the rogue, otherwise where would I be on the hunting day can not transform into form?"
"I was able to shoot a boar to death and fight with a rogue, Miss Lsabella is a worthy warrior of the East Continent!"
Several other Alpha's also expressed their agreement.
I was happy in my heart, but on the surface, I remained unmoving: "You all are exaggerating."
I took the glass of wine from the waiter: "Anyway, congratulations on the successful conclusion of the hunting day, I also want to thank you Alpha's for taking care of me, I'll drink first to show my respect."
I tilted my head and in one gulp I drained the glass of bright red liquid. One drop fell and I stuck out my tongue for a lick.
I gesture toward the crowd with my empty glass in my hand and they all applaud, "How refreshing for Miss Lsabella."
I sat down and suddenly noticed the obscure and unintelligible glance Jasper was casting at me.
The bright fire shone on his face, and after a long time, he finally spoke.
"Is the wound...healed?"
His voice was deliberately low, he was sitting right beside me, a tilt of the head could be close to my ear, this action ambiguous as if we were a pair of intimate mate.
We are mate, but not intimate.
But I won't reveal our relationship is bad at this time, I will compromise both of our faces: "It's already fine."
"What have you been doing today? The dress is beautiful, thank you."
I was just being polite with Jasper, I didn't even think he would tell me seriously.
He didn't hesitate before he spoke. "Do you know Silas? He's one of my Gamma's. He was attacked by hooligans and died on the road."
"Oh, that's a tragedy."
An awkward silence suddenly fell between the two of us.
Luckily, Mr. Aaron suddenly came over and I clinked glasses with him.
"Let the music begin, Mr. Jasper. Our night of revelry is about to begin."
Jasper withdrew his attention from my body: "Of course, our bonfire night can start, everyone have fun."
Mr. Aaron immediately stood up, "Then let me open the show for everyone."
The crowd immediately cheered for him, and I looked over curiously.
The music sounded, Mr. Aaron is slightly fat, but the dance is very flexible, he jumped not know what is the name of the dance steps, two feet nimble kicking and stamping.
But his glowing and comical look amused the crowd.
As if inspired, he spun and jumped to my side and extended a hand to me.
I raised an eyebrow and accepted his invitation.
But my dance moves were much more graceful than Mr. Aaron's.
The waiter playing the music changed the dance at the right time, and the intense music exploded like the core of a snake gobbling in the darkness.
The crowd's breath caught and their eyes fell on me, and Jasper was staring at me from the crowd.
I pulled out the dagger strapped to my thigh, then held the jewel-encrusted blade in my mouth.
My waist twisted away to the music, and I transformed into the most poisonous snake of the night, but was releasing a deadly attraction. The firelight reflects on my obscure face, wrapping my face in a mysterious black veil. The white shoulders and neck and long, slender arms, all under the aegis of the moonlight exploded with irresistible seductive power.
I felt the increasingly burning eyes fall on me, I want to tell them that I am not only the sharpest knife on this continent, I am also the most charming rose on this continent, the East Continent will eventually submit to my feet.
I turned my body quickly with the climax of the music, and my skirt and long hair flew with me.
I settled at the last moment of the music, dagger in my mouth, sitting on my knees right in front of Jasper. I don't think I disgraced him, I guess I could say I repaid him for the compliment he gave me in front of Alpha.
After a moment of silence, fierce applause broke out around the campfire.
"That was wonderful!"
"It was so wonderful, I'm already jealous of Mr. Jasper!"
With a charming smile, I saluted toward each Alpha.
My glance also caught a glimpse of Xavier on the side, and I winked at him. As soon as he met me at eye level, he turned his head away.
I was confused as to what was going on.
The whole party was thrown into high gear as I resumed my seat and the Alpha's gathered around again.
Mr. Aaron came over, and he deliberately lowered his voice: "I don't know if you guys have heard of the legend of the Moonstone."
"What?" I instantly withdrew my attention from my slightly drunken laziness, but I didn't dare to show too much, and my arms that were trembling from excitement were hidden behind my back.
"I've heard of it," Mr. Illusion Moon Pack, the oldest man in the room, took over, "but it's just a legend, I guess, and no one has ever seen a real moonstone as far as I know."
Suddenly, Jasper took my hand. The moment my fingers touched, I was shocked, he found out? My heart broke away from the ecstasy I had just felt and was gripped hard by Jasper, did he already know?
Jasper opened my palm and rubbed it one after another: "Don't drink so much wine if you're just sick, your hands are trembling."
My hanging heart was restored and I smiled towards Mr. Aaron: "I've heard of it, too, and the nursery rhyme sang about this moonstone when I was a child."
The latter gave Jasper and me an "I know" smile: "But the rascal we caught was afraid of death, so he told us about the moonstone, which he claimed he had seen."
Mr. Martin of the Purple Moon Pack wasn't supposed to be here, but he was now acting as Alpha, and Jasper invited him: "So what exactly is this moonstone?"
"Legend has it that it's a blessing from the Moon Goddess and possesses great energy capable of bringing peace to the East Continent."
"AMAZING," I interjected at the right time, "What kind of a way to bring peace? That's too general."
Mr. Eric froze and immediately laughed again, "I'm ashamed, I can't say, the legend is just that, but after all, no one has ever seen it."
He turned to Mr. Aaron: "So what did the rascal say?"
"He then said that the moonstone was in the rogue's party, but that he had to be taken to tell the exact whereabouts of this moonstone."
Jasper laughed lightly: "I'm afraid this rogue is afraid of death now made up."
The original leap of faith fell again, the crowd of people have their own thoughts.
The rogue team on the East Continent is huge and a joint army must be formed to get it, but there is only one gem, and when we do get it, where should we put it?
My hand was still in Jasper's, and I tried to calm my excitement, not daring Jasper to notice my perversity.
But the Moonstone was originally our Blood Moon Pack's stuff, we were the closest wolf pack to the snowy mountains on the entire East Continent, and the secrets belonging to the Moon Goddess were buried on that ancient snow.
Ten years ago, our Moonstone was taken away by rogues as ordinary jewelry, and has been unaccounted for ever since. With the loss of the moonstone, the wolf pack also followed the decline.
I desperately tried to hide my inner excitement, I saw the dawn of Blood Moon Pack's revival.
