Abby

“Karl! Abby! Over here!”

Karl and I exchange glances with each other before we decide to head over to the table where Ethan and Gianna are waiting. Despite Gianna's presence, Ethan's smile is a beacon of happiness, and I'm glad to see it.

Although Ethan was in his coma for the majority of the time that Karl and I were together, I always liked him. He was a good brother to Karl, a genuine person and a kind soul.

It was heartbreaking when he fell into his coma, and yet at the same time it was like a new chapter; Karl became the Alpha and ruled the pack in his brother's place, and I became the Luna.

I have hope that the two brothers will be able to come to some sort of amicable conclusion about their status, and I know that it won't end poorly between the two of them. They're all each other has, after all.

But then there's Gianna.

She's like a dark stain on the night, and an even darker stain on our history. With Gianna by Ethan's side, it also fills me with a sense of dread.

There's no telling what she'll do to smear Karl's reputation through the mud, and if she’s already somehow managed to manipulate Ethan into falling in love with her, I can only imagine what she'll be able to accomplish.

On one hand, I want to believe in the power of true love, but on the other hand... I don't trust this. Not one bit.

Karl and I meet Gianna and Ethan at the table, where Gianna is already seated beside Ethan, her gaze averted to the drink menu in her hand. She doesn't look up as we approach.

Karl pulls my seat out for me, and I'm grateful that he chose the seat for me that's the furthest from Gianna. After what she did, I don't even want to breathe the same air as her.

"Abby, I must say, I didnt expect to see you tonight,” Ethan says, his eyes flickering with amusement as he looks at me—but not in an unkind way. “I thought Karl already had a date.”

Gianna glances up, a flicker of something malicious in her eyes at this news. Karl's jaw tightens a bit. “My date and I decided to go our separate ways,” Karl explains vaguely, his knee bumping against mine under the table. “And so Abby and I reconnected.

"Well, I'm glad to see it,” Ethan says with a kind glint in his eyes. “And, Abby, you catered tonight, correct?” he asks.

I nod, choosing to ignore the way that Gianna rolls her eyes ever so slightly, her gaze averting back to her menu.

“I did,” I explain. “Actually, this restaurant is mine.”

Ethan's eyes widen. “Really?” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Abby opened it after you went into your coma,” Karl explains for me. “You missed a lot, brother.” Ethan chuckles. “I guess I did.” His attention then shifts to the foot on the buffet table. “It sure looks delicious,” he says. “And, Abby, congratulations on opening your own restaurant. That's no small feat.”

A flush of warmth spreads across my cheeks at his compliment. “Thank you, Ethan,” I respond, feeling humbled,

Before I know it, the table is covered in a wide array of food. Ethan eats ravenously, digging through plates of rare steaks and vibrant vegetables.

“I'm so sorry to eat like such a pig,” Ethan says with a laugh. “The doctor warned me I'd eat like a horse during the healing process, but I didn't expect it to be this bad.”

I can't help but laughed, more flattered that he likes the food so much than anything else. “I'm thrilled that you're enjoying it. Please, eat as much as you want.”

However, my gaze drifts to Gianna, who sits beside Ethan but hardly touches her plate. She delicately picks at her food, her demeanor distant and guarded.
