Chapter 4
Diana’s Pov
One year later.
I stood in front of the floor–length mirror and looked at myself in the mirror. My long brown hair was all tied back, exposing my slender neck.
On my head I wear a crystal crown worth tens of millions, and on my body is a Chanel latest hand–customized sky blue strapless fishtail dress.
The skirt is studded with diamonds, which is very sparkling, and the exquisite sewing can just show off the curves of my figure.
A full year has passed since I left Dark Moon Pack.
Now I am no longer the naive woman trapped in love.
I have a whole new life.
Today, I will be attending the Business Alliance Banquet hosted by Blade Moon Pack.
At that time, I will sign new cooperation agreements with each Pack on behalf of Blade Moon Pack.
The baby noises diverted my attention.
I lifted up my skirt and walked to the cradle.
A beautiful little boy was lying in the cradle.
That’s my son Lionel.
As of today, he has just turned two months old.
The little guy giggled at me, his cute look melted my heart.
“Miss.” The maid walked in and said, “Alpha just called me and said that the party was about to start. When will you be there?”
“Let’s go now.” I picked up Lionel and said.
The maid was a little surprised.
“Are you going to take Master Reist with you to the banquet?”
I nodded.
Lionel was sick not long ago, and I couldn’t bear to leave him.
“But…” the maid looked at me awkwardly, “Today is an alliance meeting between Packs. I mean…Alpha Nathan will also attend.”
I was stunned for a moment when I heard this name belonging to my ex–husband after a long time.
Then, I smiled casually
“So what?”
I no longer have anything to do with Alpha Nathan.
Lionel was only my child, and no one would take him away from me.
“Let’s go,” I said, walking towards the door.
Half an hour later, we drove to the banquet venue – the central conference building of Packhouse, which is specially used to receive VIPs.
There was also a Lincoln limousine parked in front of our Rolls–Royce.
From the car logo, I recognized that it was a car from Dark Moon.
The greeter at the door trotted all the way to the Lincoln and opened the door.
A siender leg appeared in my sight.
Then came the thin waist and broad shoulders wrapped in a black suit.
Finally, my eyes settled on that familiar handsome face.
Alpha Nathan.
He is still as dazzling as I remember.
However, I was surprised to find that I didn’t feel pain when I saw him again.
I thought I would still have a feeling for him, but seemed like he hurt me too much to love him.
Alpha Nathan didn’t come alone, he also brought Zoe with him.
I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
It seems that Nathan really likes this maid.
After all, when he was my mate, he never was with a woman for more than a month.
As for Zoe, a year later, she is still by Nathan’s side.
I curled my lips and smirked.
It seemed that both of them lived happily after I left.
Zoe wore a burgundy tight evening gown.
When she stood beside Alpha Nathan, she was as gorgeous as a delicate rose.
People kept complimenting her appearance and how well she matched Alpha Nathan.
She couldn’t hide the smile and pride on her face.
“Miss, do you want to go in now?” my driver asked me.
I nodded, and the driver drove the Rolls–Royce forward a little further.
The greeter came running towards us.
Then he gently opened the car door.
I straightened my skirt and got out of the car with a smile.
The maid who followed me on the other side with Lionel in her arms.
Those who were praising Zoe glanced at me.
Then, they were stunned and all showed surprised expressions.
“God, who is that woman? She is so beautiful!”
“I swear, I have never seen a woman more beautiful than her in my life!”
During the discussion, someone said in surprise,
“I know her! She is Alpha Nathan’s former mate, Diana!”
The next thing I realized was that Nathan suddenly turned his head and looked in my
direction.
I saw his hands clenched into fists.
His cold eyes suddenly narrowed, with complex emotions flowing in them.
He seemed surprised to see me again.
Even more surprised than him was Zoe beside him.
She covered her mouth and looked at me with disbelief, her eyes filled with shock and jealousy.
I walked towards the two of them step by step.
Of course, I didn’t do it just to say hello to them.
But to get into the conference building, I had to pass by these two people.
Someone in the crowd exclaimed–
“Diana is so beautiful! She is countless times more beautiful than Zoe. I really don’t understand why Alpha Nathan chose Zoe over Diana!”
Zoe’s face immediately darkened.
She bit her red lips tightly, and the delicate makeup on her face became hideous and ugly due to anger and jealousy.
I smiled mockingly and walked past the two of them towards the hall.
But suddenly, a strong hand grabbed my arm.
I turned my head and met Nathan’s eyes.
At this moment, the emotion in his eyes told me that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
“Let me go,” I said coldly.
Nathan seemed not to hear what I said and asked, “Where have you been this year?”
“It has nothing to do with you.” I tried to withdraw my arm.
But Nathan had no intention of letting go.
He stared at me with burning eyes, “How much longer do you want to stay at this pack? I don’t care where you go this year, but after the banquet, you must go home with me immediately.”
“Go back? Dark Moon Pack is not my home.” I sneered, “Alpha Nathan, please leave me alone, or I will have guards escort you out.”
Nathan’s face became even ugly.
“Diana, don’t piss me off.”
“I have no interest in irritating you. If you hadn’t come to talk to me first, then I could have treated you as a stranger. It was you who told me to ‘go home‘ with you.
Isn’t it just so ridiculous?”
I shook Nathan’s hand away.
Nathan was stunned for a moment, his eyes becoming more complicated.
I think he was probably very angry.
Sure enough, the next second, I felt the heavy Alpha aura.
Many people present were forced to lower their heads.
But I’m not afraid.
I also have excellent Alpha blood, and his aura cannot intimidate me.
I raised my head and looked directly at Nathan. In his eyes, besides shock, I actually saw a hint of… excitement!
However, just because I am not afraid of his aura does not mean that my three–month–old child is not afraid.
The little guy burst out crying.
“Master Reist!” the maid shouted in panic.
I quickly took the child from the maid.
“Don’t be afraid Lionel, mommy is here, don’t be afraid…”
I kept comforting Lionel so much that I didn’t notice the huge change in Nathan’s mood.
He grabbed my shoulders with both hands, and his amber pupils turned completely terrifying black.
“Child? You actually gave birth to a child for Alpha Marc!” The way he gritted his teeth made me almost think he was going to kill me.
I was startled.
Remembering that the maid had just called Lionel “Master Reist,” I realized that Nathan had preconceived the idea that the child was born to me and Marc through the child’s surname..
He misunderstood.
Lionel’s crying became louder and louder.
I didn’t bother to explain to Nathan and yelled, “Put away your aura! You scared Lionel.”
Nathan didn’t seem to expect that I would yell at him, and his expression froze for a
moment.
But in the end, he regained his Alpha aura.
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and Lionel gradually stopped crying.
“You should give me an explanation.” Nathan said to me, “You and I have been together for two whole years without giving birth to a child for me! Now you actually gave birth to a child for Alpha Marc!”
“What does this have to do with you?” I sarcastically said, “If you want a child so much, Zoe must be willing to have one with you.”
I don’t understand what’s going on with him.
Shouldn’t it be Zoe that he really should care about?
Why are you so angry because you misunderstood that I gave birth to a child by another man?
Apparently, Zoe also realized that Nathan was not in the right mood, and her expression became even uglier.
“Nathan…” She hugged Nathan’s arm nervously and blinked helplessly.
At this time, the crowd burst into commotion.
I saw my eldest brother Alpha Marc striding towards me in the conference hall.
Marc hugged my waist very naturally and asked in a low voice, “Why don’t you go in
my dear?”
I looked coldly at the two people standing in front of me.
Marc raised an eyebrow.
“Alpha Nathan. I wonder why you are keeping Diana here?” Marc asked with a smile.
Nathan’s eyes faintly burned with anger again the moment he saw Marc.
I feel baffled.
I can’t understand his behavior anymore.
Zoe hugged Nathan’s arm and said, “It’s nothing, we just said hello to old friends.”
“Old friend?” Marc turned to look at me and asked, “Are they your friends?”
“No,” I answered simply.
Marc smiled mockingly, “Alpha Nathan, I really didn’t expect you to fake ‘friends‘ with my people. It really surprised me.
Marc glanced at Zoe indifferently, and Zoe immediately hid behind Nathan.
Marc obviously had no interest in continuing the conversation with them, so he hugged me and walked towards the hall.
Vaguely, I always feel like there is a hot gaze staring at me from behind.
Shortly after the banquet started, I was talking to several guests about the cooperation between Pack.
At this time, I heard someone mention my “name” behind me.
I followed the sound and realized it was Zoe.
She was surrounded by many young ladies.
At this time, she was looking at me with disdain and said to those ladies:
“Did you see it? She is the Diana I told you about. When she was obsessed with Nathan, Nathan ignored her, and she turned around and seduced Alpha Marc, and even had a child for Marc.”
“This is too shameless!” A lady cast a disdainful look at me, “Who doesn’t know that Alpha Marc has a mate? Isn’t Diana going to be someone’s ‘mistress‘?”
My oldest brother does have a mate, her name is April, and she is the Luna of Blade Moon pack.
At this moment, she is accompanying Marc to greet the guests.
But I didn’t mean to interrupt the conversation between these people. Instead, I watched Zoe’s expression as if watching a play.
Rather than saying that this lady is accusing me, it is better to say that the shameless woman she is really accusing is Zoe.
After all, a year ago, it was Zoe who still got together with Nathan even though she knew I was Nathan’s mate.
Sure enough, the expression on Zoe’s face changed.
She bit her lip in embarrassment and changed the subject.
“So, Diana is a bitch that no one wants. When he was with Nathan, Nathan chose me not to want her. Now that she is with Marc, Marc still treats her as a mistress.”
“That’s right, look at her clothes, limited edition with the most expensive fabric. Maybe she spent a lot of energy in bed before begging Alpha Marc to buy them for her.”
Several women laughed.
Zoe raised an eyebrow at me.
Another lady said, “Did you see that April is still pregnant? Diana actually attended such an event openly and holding her bastard child? It’s really shameless!”
“This is too disgusting… I think she is only thinking about fame and fortune! Unlike Zoe, who treats Alpha Nathan wholeheartedly.”
“Of course.” Zoe raised her neck and said in a voice that everyone around her would hear, “I love Nathan deeply and will never leave him for fame and fortune. I will always be by his side, no matter what happens.”
The more I listened, the more nauseated I became.
One of the other Pack officials standing next to me frowned and looked at me.
“Miss Reist, are you going to let these women slander you? I think you should have them thrown out! Especially the woman named Zoe.”
“I–”
about to say something when a sharp male voice suddenly sounded. “Who dares to attack my people?”
I raised my eyebrows slightly.
Immediately afterward, I saw Nathan striding up to Zoe and holding Zoe in his arms.
Several women laughed.
Zoe raised an eyebrow at me.
Another lady said, “Did you see that April is still pregnant? Diana actually attended such an event openly and holding her bastard child? It’s really shameless!”
“This is too disgusting… I think she is only thinking about fame and fortune! Unlike Zoe, who treats Alpha Nathan wholeheartedly.”
“Of course.” Zoe raised her neck and said in a voice that everyone around her would hear, “I love Nathan deeply and will never leave him for fame and fortune. I will always be by his side, no matter what happens.”
The more I listened, the more nauseated I became.
One of the other Pack officials standing next to me frowned and looked at me.
“Miss Reist, are you going to let these women slander you? I think you should have them thrown out! Especially the woman named Zoe.”
“I–”
I was about to say something when a sharp male voice suddenly sounded. “Who dares to attack my people?”
I raised my eyebrows slightly.
Immediately afterward, I saw Nathan striding up to Zoe and holding Zoe in his arms.
