Chapter 30
Realizing this, she acted quickly pulling his attention on herself, and luckily her sister had a mishap and did not move away from the entrance. A waiter had spilled some wine on her light colored dress, resulting in the latter having no other choice but to leave the venue to clean the wine stain.
Once Celia left, she was still worried, she could return any second now to the ballroom. So as soon as Brianna could, she called her mother and told her what happened.
At first, her mother was happy and said that it was alright if Celia was Rayan’s mate, frankly she did not care who it was specifically, as long as one of her daughters was the Luna. Moreover, Brianna surely would also have an Alpha mate as well, it worked even better.
But she could not stand it, she saw Rayan first and only she could be his mate. Moreover, until she could find her true mate if she ever did, her sister would rise above her in the pack. She could never permit such a thing happening, she feared the mocking gazes from those around. She was always the best, and should be the best still.
So she convinced her mother that there was still a probability to not find him, her true mate. Then what would happen if the aloof Celia was not to Rayan’s taste, and he rejected her.
the end her mother agreed for fear of not having at least one of her girls become a Luna, and helped her sent Celia away. She was supposed to be gone for six months. She would have already been marked by then.
Of course, a girl could never take part even during the exams for the watchers, they must have sent Celia away. She thought, as her jaws clenched in anger.
Now she was in this situation, but it was still alright, Celia had always been like a mother to her. She would surely help her out. Ever since she was young until now, whatever she asked from her sister, the latter had never refused.
As such she was now implying for Celia to take responsibility, and make it seem like she was the one who asked Brianna to impersonate his mate.
She thought Celia would still help her, but she had been the naïve one. Her sister helped her before because she knew Brianna’s personality and thought of her only as a childish and innocent girl. But Che was not foolish to help her, regardless of the situation she was in. Especially now, when the wrongs she did escalated.
This was not a childish prank, this was not a project that she would do in her stead, and these were not clothes and cupcakes that she, Brianna, would claim as her own. No, this was life. This was her

worth in Brianna’s eyes, a helper nothing more.
Still, in recognition for Brianna’s assistance in her enrolment, even if it was not a pure intention from her younger sister’s part, she did not deny or affirm her words, she did not try to add fire to the
fuel.
It would have meant that she truly wished to be Rayan’s mate.
Celia’s phone suddenly rang in the deafening silence. The situation had become stalemate for some moments already. Celia had not reacted at all to Brianna’s plea, so the latter did not know how to continue speaking. If she were to say anything else, she could possibly make the situation worse. And Diane, the protective mother, did not know how to guard Brianna, if Rayan were to suddenly attack her daughter.
As for the other people… well, other than Celia who just wanted to leave, each of them was more shocked than the other. No one knew how they could rectify the matter. Inside the ballroom the pack members were waiting for the Luna Ceremony of a fake mate, moreover a pregnant one.
How could they set things right? Did the possibility to correct the matter even exist?
Daniel on his part was the only one who looked worriedly towards Celia, but his words were stuck in his throat. What could he say to his sister? Brianna had always taken advantage of Celia, but this time she had crossed any possible limit, she had taken it way too far.
Everyone kept quiet, resulting in the awkward atmosphere that was perturbed by the ringtone.
She calmly checked her phone, only to see Jake’s name on the caller ID. Honestly, a friend she met a month ago called her after only a day of absence, but her family did not manage to call her even though a month had passed since her departure.
“Hello!” She picked up the phone in their presence, unconcerned about the current mood. She had said she would call him after arriving home, but she had omitted to. It was unfair towards him to not answer because of the lovely people around her.
“Hi Alpha!” His greeting boomed in her ear, he was clearly excited to hear her voice. His clear happy tone contrasting with the current funeral like mood.
The high ranking werewolves of her pack of course could hear it also, even if he was not on speaker. Was it a joke between them? Their faces seemed to say, otherwise who would call a girl alpha.
