Chapter 55
Anastasia
I turned around to see Julian enter the school’s premises, cold fury shining in his eyes. His entry left everybody shocked as so far only Obert and his wife had been blabbering while the rest had been watching the drama unfold.
I had been living in the human world for 5 years and had heard their name but had never worked with them or interacted. And I felt glad for that.
It was only Lea and the fact that I wanted her day to be a fun filled one that I had tolerated this woman’s yapping for a while.
She turned her attention to Julian and I saw her expressions change faster than a chameleon could change colors.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
While she had been rude, blunt, and unnecessarily obnoxious to me, face lit up into a bright smile when she saw Julian.
her
And was that a hint of…admiration in her eyes when she saw Julian? Julian was walking with cold fury in his eyes but she had that look on her face as if she had never seen a handsome man before.
Even Robert blinked to see Julian walk in out of nowhere and come to stand beside me.
“Am I right, Miss Gilbert?” He asked, taking a step closer to me.
The old hag looked from me to him and Robert before looking back at Julian again.
“Who are you young man?” she asked, clearly fumbling for words.
Julian gave her a cold smile and answered, “Oh, I should have introduced myself earlier. You see, I had been busy with certain work before but now I am here to be with my wife.”
A collective gasp of shock rang through the surroundings when Julian called me his wife. I tried to glare at him but he ignored me and slid a hand around my waist, startling me.
Mrs. vitali ran her gaze up and down Julian as if he was a delicious snack. Not just her, the two women who had rushed forward to help her clean her dress were staring at him as well.
My gaze ran through the crowd and I realized just about every female was staring at him with her mouth slightly agape.
Human males looked good but they were no match for a werewolf’s strength and physique. Plus the fact that Julian was the alpha added more to his appeal. No wonder every female was instantly attracted to him.
The old hag stared at me with hatred and Julian’s hand strung along my wrist and she muttered.
“Oh, she never filled the details in the form or I would have known she had a husband.” The woman tried to clarify but Julian only walked forward to take a step directly in front of her.
“And why do you need to see a lady’s husband to treat her well? Where are your manners?” He asked, using his alpha voice.
The alpha command would make all the pack members cower in fear and though these humans were not his pack members, they could feel his strength and power radiating off him.
The wicked hag blanched.
“I don’t need that. Pity, you are married though.”
Her husband, Robert, looked at her incredulously. “What do you mean,
Greta?
The hag. Greta, blinked rapidly, looking at Julian coyly before answering her husband.
“Nothing, it is unfortunate that the young man is already married. I know quite a few women who would have loved to marry such a handsome man as him.
She quipped but the way she was staring at Julian told me she was not referring to other women but herself.
“Oh, come on, Greta. Let us relax, now.” Suddenly, a voice called out from behind her.
A woman around Greta’s age came forward with a young girl in tow. The girl was probably her daughter coz she looked a lot like the other woman and was staring at Julian unabashedly.
“Young man, do you have a brother by chance? You see, this is my daughter, Charlotte, and she would love to hang out with people her age. She was getting quite bored here but now I think she will have nice company for the
I shook ma bend and red wond to talk toes and take her away from this mess. She did not deserve her day to turn out to be like this.
Come Lea, lets go meet yer other Kilian with the women ogling at him.
foot friends,” I said to Lea, leaving
The wanted to entertain them or talk to that young girl, that was his choice. “Where are you going wife?” He asked in a loud voice, making me stop in my tracks
I turned around and hissed at him.
am not your wife, Juhan Blackthorne so please, leave me alone.”
Juliari tried to speak to me but the women gasped and oohed when they heard his full name. I scooped up Lea in my arms as I walked past the crowd that had gathered around us.
Wait, he is Julian Blackthorne?”
“Isn’t that the guy who showed up out of nowhere and bought every single hotel in the city within a few days?”
“I wonder how much money he makes to afford that…..”
“But why did he call that girl his wife? She hissed at him and walked away, so I guess it is trouble in paradise.
The last line followed with giggles and nervous laughter. I took Lea away from them and to a different corner but my werewolf hearing allowed their words to reach me rather easily.
“If they are separated or thinking of it, that is even better. I think he will be an excellent match for my Charlotte.”
Charlotte’s mom squealed in excitement. I didn’t mean to look back but accidentally did when my foot caught in something.
All the women had surrounded Julian and were now trying to talk to him while he was staring at me.
1 let out a sigh
Let them have him. He brought one girl already so what difference would it make if he took in several more?
I told myself, ignoring the anger rising inside of me.

The refreshment and registration area was in the school playground but the rest of the activities were hopefully inside the school building.
I walked past the curious crowd of onlookers and entered the huge hall where I saw Lea’s school teacher muttering instructions to the other staff members
The hall was filled with chairs decorated with ribbons and small booths ser up on the sides.
There were a lot of parents and eager kids happily giggling and running around, taking pictures and whatnot.
The school teacher, Molly, was wearing the uniform as well and smiled at me when she saw me enter the hall.
I waved at her and walked towards her while Lea looked around at all the balloons and decorations excitedly.
“Looks like you all are pulling no stops to make this a big event,” I said and Molly beamed at me.
“Yes, thankfully, the principal liked my idea of having an informal event this time. Please get seated, we will begin shortly.”
