Chapter 104: A Surprising Reunion

Anthony's POV:

Before I left for today's anniversary ceremony, I made sure my mother's safety was secured.

I cherished my mother.

Of course I had to ensure her safety.

I had put my most trusted attendants in charge of her.

I couldn't leave with ease until everything was in place for my mother.

Previously, Arthur had sent an invitation to the royal family, inviting us to attend the celebration.

When I heard that the royal family had agreed to send several representatives, I actually found myself
volunteering.

The truth was, I didn't find this ceremony important.

I could've sent other members to represent the royal family if I wanted.

But I didn't.

I didn't know why, but for some reason, my intuition told me to go.

However, now that someone attempted to poison my mother, I felt uneasy.

I decided I'd continue looking into it after the ceremony.

Such a matter was by no means trifle.

As for Caroline, I still didn't feel anything romantic towards her.



I had asked those around me if we were really a couple, and everyone had said yes.

But this only served to confuse me even more.

Today, I finally put my worries aside and went to the Rainbow Pack with Caroline to celebrate the
anniversary ceremony.

The ceremony itself was quite lively.

The werewolves of Rainbow Pack were very welcoming and enthusiastic, and all of them bowed to us
when we arrived.

"No need to be so formal.Today marks the 10th anniversary of Arthur's succession to Alpha.Just enjoy
yourselves,"

I told them and waved my hand.

"Oh my God! Mr.Jones is so handsome! And Miss Wilson is so beautiful! They're a perfect match."

"I heard that they're not brother and sister by blood.So they can be together, right?"

"Maybe they have already been together."

I overheard several werewolves talking about us.

I couldn't help but frown at what they were saying.

Why did everyone except me think Caroline and I were a perfect match? In my eyes, she was just my
sister.

I sighed and glanced at Caroline, who was greeting the werewolves with a friendly smile.



Then, Arthur led me and Caroline to the most distinguished seats in the hall.

He smiled respectfully and made sure we were comfortable before announcing the opening of the
anniversary celebration.

Soon, delicious food and red wine were served.

The sound of firecrackers echoed in the air.

Suddenly, the lights came on and an onstage show began.

"Anthony, I heard that these performers are great.Someone told me that they've been singing and
dancing all day.I even heard there's a clown performance! This will be interesting."

Caroline raised her glass to mine.

"Anthony, let me propose a toast to you."

"Cheers to this celebration,"

I said indifferently, clinking my glass against hers absentmindedly.

I looked at the food in front of me and frowned slightly.

I still couldn't smell anything.

With a sigh, I reluctantly sliced a small piece of salmon and put it in my mouth.

As I chewed, I felt someone staring at me.

I glanced up and sure enough, I caught a beautiful girl looking at me.

Her eyes seemed to burn with desire.



Who was she? Why was she looking at me like that? I was so taken aback that I didn’t know what to
do.

Finally, at a loss, I lowered my head awkwardly.

Although that girl was exactly my type, I had no idea who she was.

I needed to avoid trouble and consequently, I needed to avoid her.

When I was about to continue eating, Zane suddenly became restless and uneasy.

"Anthony, I like that girl!"Zane yelled excitedly in my mind.

"She looks so pretty and sexy.I think she'll make a good choice."

"Are you crazy? Why are you so excited over a complete stranger?"I replied sourly.

But before we could argue, Arthur stood up to propose a toast to me.

I smiled politely and nodded.

After a while, I stood up to go to the bathroom.

Caroline wanted to go with me, but I refused without hesitation.

To be honest, I didn't like her personality.

She was clingy and desperate, pestering me every chance she got.

I felt suffocated.

Jennifer's POV: No words could describe the joy I felt when I saw Anthony at the celebration venue.



I didn't even want to go to the event initially.

It had taken a lot of courage to attend the ceremony that celebrated Arthur's position as the Rainbow
Pack's Alpha.

Thinking about how Arthur had been in that position for ten years made me want to pounce on him and
rip his face off.

But seeing Anthony at the celebration made everything worth it.

I was so relieved to know he was safe and sound.

But at the same time, he seemed a little off.

He seemed to be avoiding my gaze the whole time.

I couldn't approach him, so I could do nothing but look at him lovingly, hoping he'd get the message.

However, he lowered his head after meeting my gaze, as though he was avoiding me.

I didn't know why he did that.

I couldn't help but feel a bit dejected and disappointed.

Halfway through the ceremony, I saw Anthony stand up to go to the bathroom.

I decided to take this as an opportunity to approach him.

"Daniel, I need to go to the bathroom.Excuse me."

I quickly got up from the table and followed Anthony.

I paced the hall to the bathroom for a while, waiting for Anthony to come out.



After a while, the door swung open and he came out.

I immediately ran to him and hugged him from behind.

"Anthony, you're here! Honey, I've missed you so much.I'm only here to see you!"

I hugged his waist tightly and breathed his scent in.

As soon as his scent hit me, I felt at ease.

I rubbed my cheek against his back and smiled with contentment.However, Anthony's reaction wiped
that smile off my face.

"Miss, do I know you?"

He pushed me away and looked at me in surprise.

"I don't think we do.I'm sorry.You must've mistaken me for someone else.”

"What? Miss? You don't know me? This joke isn't funny at all!"

I felt like I was struck by lightning.I couldn't believe what I was hearing.I studied his expression,
searching for answers.

I was sure that he was Anthony, my mate and the love of my life.

However, his expression was clearly clueless and even a bit perturbed.

This was unbelievable! How could Anthony not know me? "It's me, Jennifer.I love you.We promised we
would be together forever.How on earth do you not know me?"

Desperate, I grabbed his wrist.



"What happened to you? Anthony, you scare me.You'd better not be playing tricks on me!"

"Jennifer? Sorry, I really don't know you." Anthony stared at me blankly.

When I looked into his eyes, I could tell that he wasn't lying.

There was no sense of familiarity in the way he looked at me.

How could this be? He looked exactly like my Anthony, but he didn't act like it.

"Anthony, are you doing this on purpose? You're only pretending not to know me, right? Honey, stop
it.The past few days have been hard.I've missed you so much and I've been looking forward to our
wedding..."

I couldn't control my emotions and threw my arms around him again.

I leaned against his chest, tears welling up in my eyes.

This time, Anthony was stunned.

It didn't occur to him to push me away.

I drank in his scent and held back my tears.

Just then, Caroline showed up.

She came over aggressively, grabbed my wrist and shoved me away.

She stood in between me and Anthony.

I staggered backwards and shot her a glare.

"Miss Wilson, what are you doing?"



"It should be me asking that question.Miss, what do you think you're doing? How dare you try to
seduce my fiance so openly!"

Caroline stared at me, gnashing her teeth.

"Fiance? Anthony is your fiance?"

I was so shocked that my vision almost went black and I lost balance momentarily.

This was too ridiculous! How the hell did my mate become Caroline's fiance? No, this couldn't be true.

Was she lying? Or did she do something to Anthony while I was gone? As my mind raced, I was so
shocked and angry that I almost went crazy.
