The Despised Luna's Comeback
Caden didn't show up until later in the evening. I was focused on my work when, at some point, Caden appeared in front of me. "Rosaline, let's go." Caden's deep, magnetic voice suddenly filled the air. I looked up and met his intense gaze. "Where are we going?" I was a bit surprised. "You'll find out when you come with me," he replied without giving a direct answer. I checked the time and said calmly, "Sorry, Caden, I have plans tonight. I'll be leaving once work is over." "What plans?" Caden asked, his face expressionless. I answered honestly, "I'm going to the awards ceremony tonight." Caden's eyes narrowed slightly. "Are you interested in this?" "Not really," I smiled. "I promised Jasper I would go to see him receiving the award." Caden's POV: Jasper again! Was Jasper that important to Rosaline?! Anger surged within me, and my expression darkened. Her cell phone suddenly rang with a pleasant tune, and then she ignored me. She took out her phone, glanced at it, and answered the call. "Jasper." D*mn, Jasper called right after we mentioned him. They did have perfect timing. "Rosaline, are you done with work? I'm outside the company," Jasper's clear voice came through the phone. "Almost," Rosaline checked the time. "Give me five minutes." After hanging up the phone, she ignored me and began packing up to leave. I couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed her arm firmly."Rosaline, don't you dare walk away!" I was furious. Yesterday's events made me feel like Rosaline still had feelings for me. The reason she kept pushing me away was because of Tessa. Otherwise, why would she go through so much trouble, exposing Tessa right in front of me? Besides, Rosaline once said that she broke off our engagement because of Tessa. So, I was even more certain that she had never forgotten about me. I had everything set up for tonight, planning to propose to her again. But now, she told me she was going to Jasper's award ceremony?! Rosaline looked at me as I grabbed her arm, rubbing her forehead. "Caden, you're hurting me!" I instinctively let go, and she quickly pulled her arm back. "I'm leaving," she said, giving me an annoyed look before walking away. I stood upstairs, watching as Jasper's car pulled up in front of the company's entrance. Soon, Rosaline came down. They greeted each other happily, then she got in the car, and Jasper drove off. My heart twisted in pain. Rosaline walked away with Jasper just like that! All the effort I put into tonight's proposal was wasted. Actually, I also received an invitation to the award ceremony tonight. I didn't like to attend that kind of activities and had thrown the invitation away. But now, I decided to go. Rosaline's POV: Jasper drove and parked in front of a styling studio. I was surprised. "Jasper, what are we doing here?" He smiled. "Didn't I tell you tonight is the most important day of my life? Of course, you need to look great."I looked Jasper up and down. He was dressed in a sharp suit, his hair meticulously styled—handsome enough that as soon as he stepped on stage, he'd have every high-ranking werewolf woman swooning. "You already look perfect," I joked. Jasper's gaze locked onto mine. "I meant you." "Me? You're the star tonight. I don't need to dress up." I frowned. "Well, no matter what, it's never wrong to go for something more glamorous," Jasper said as he pulled me into the styling studio. I couldn't argue, so I let him do his thing. Half an hour later, I walked out in a stunning red gown. Jasper stared at me, his eyes filled with admiration. "Are you satisfied now? Let's go," I said. ... The award ceremony was held at Rivemon's prestigious Sacred Grand Theatre, set to begin at 8 PM. Jasper and I arrived 20 minutes early and took our seats in the front row. The event was attended by influential figures from the entertainment industry—famous actors, as well as Alphas and heirs from various packs. The reporters were already lined up with their cameras, arriving early at the theatre, eager not to miss anything. The host for the evening was Dylan Chase, the famous TV personality from Werewolf Continent and also one of Jasper's good friends. As soon as I sat down, a familiar werewolf scent reached my nose. I turned slightly and caught a glimpse of a cold, familiar figure. Caden? What was he doing here? He said he wanted to take me somewhere. Could it have been the award ceremony?
