I walked back to my bedroom to remove the beautiful red dress I had put on for the dinner. However, as I glanced at myself in the mirror, I furrowed my eyebrows thoughtfully. I shouldn’t allow this beautiful red dress and my flawless makeup go to waste. That was how I decided to go on the dinner date alone.

The place Jerry had booked was a luxury restaurant in the human world. I sat at the table that Jerry had reserved for us.

I was going to treat myself with or without Jerry. I thought firmly to myself.

After making my order, I waited for my food to be served. My mind flashed back to Jerry’s continuous negligence and nonchalance towards me. It was getting out of hand, and whenever I complained, he always made it look like I was heartless as it concerned my sick sister.

A waiter dropped a very expensive bottle of champagne on my table. I never ordered that. As I opened my mouth to tell the waiter just that, he quickly explained.

“Compliments of the gentleman at that corner” I looked up, and my gaze followed the waiter’s pointing finger.

Seated a few tables away was a handsome man with kind green eyes and a warm smile. He lifted his glass slightly in acknowledgement, watching me and waiting for my reaction. I hesitated for a moment before I smiled in return and nodded my thanks.

As I ate, I could feel the mysterious man stealing glances at me. When I glanced up, my gaze caught with his, but he didn’t look away. The intensity in his eyes caused me to flush slightly as I quickly snapped my gaze away.

I decided to avoid looking in his direction till I left, no matter how hard it was proving to be.

“Forgive me for intruding, but I really need to ask,” A smooth deep voice murmured, and I tensed slightly. I lifted my head to see HIM standing at the other end of my table. From his scent, I knew he was a werewolf. A very powerful and sexy werewolf.

Valerie’s POV

“What’s a gorgeous lady like you doing here all alone?” He asked with a soft smile.

I smiled politely. “My mate couldn’t make it.” I replied.

“Do you mind if I join you then?” He asked softly, with an earnest expression in his eyes.

For some reason, I felt like I could trust him. Something about his eyes and his appearance told me that he was a respectful and kind person.

I nodded, giving him permission to sit. Besides, I needed the company, and he seemed like a pleasant person.
