The Luna Is Gone

Chapter 110

Diana’s pov

Having changed into our attire and applied makeup, Nora and I left the hotel. Marc and April, already dressed to the nines, were waiting at the entrance. They boarded the Rolls–Royce in the front, while Nora and I got into the Bentley following behind. Half an hour later, we arrived at the venue for the engagement ceremony – the grand hall at the heart of the Dark Moon Pack. The entire hall was transformed into a dreamlike crystal palace, with a massive crystal chandelier hanging from the domed ceiling, casting a soft glow.

On the central stage of the hall, an exquisite crystal piano adorned with countless gemstones emitted a radiant brilliance, playing enchanting melodies under the skillful hands of the pianist. The long table was adorned with flowers, fine wines, and a variety of desserts, with even the cutlery crafted from pure gold.

Every detail of the venue highlighted Nathan’s dedication to this engagement with Avia, a vivid reflection of love or lack thereof.

As soon as we entered the hall, Marc and April were surrounded by a crowd. Given their status, a bit of flattery and praise were inevitable. Uninterested in participating, I found a quiet corner with Nora.

“Diana, are you okay?” Nora cautiously observed my expression.

I paused, “Why do you ask?”

“I was worried…” Nora bit her lip. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

I nonchalantly smiled, “Worried that I’d be upset about this engagement ceremony? No need. Nathan and I are completely done. Whoever he’s engaged to or marrying has nothing to do with me.”

My expression remained calm as if discussing something unrelated to myself. Nora looked at me for a moment, seemingly confirming that I wasn’t just putting on a brave front, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

“That’s good! I knew someone as smart as

someone unworthy.“.

“a wouldn’t waste emotions on

Nora grabbed two glasses of champagne from a waiter and handed one to me. Just as I took a sip, sensing the taste of oranges, I rushed to stop Nora.

But I was too late.

Nora smacked her lips and said, “This wine tastes pretty good.”

“Are you okay?” I asked with concern.

“I’m fine…” Nora looked at me puzzled, then suddenly froze, lowering her head to look at the glass in her hand. “There’s… there’s oranges in here?”

I nodded.

Nora was allergic to oranges, and it caused her to break out in a rash all over.

“What, what do we do?” Nora panicked.

“Do you have antihistamines with you?” I asked hastily.

“Oh, oh, oh! Yes, I brought them!” Nora opened her purse and rummaged through it. then froze again ” I’m screwed “Nora looked distressed “When I was

reapplying lipstick in the car earlier, I took the medicine out and forgot it on the

seat.

“I’ll accompany you to the garage to get the medicine,”

“No, no, no, I can manage on my own. Otherwise, Mare and April might not find you later.”

“Are you sure you can handle it?” I double–checked.

“No problem. I only took a sip, don’t worry,” Nora said and quickly walked towards the entrance of the hall.

Ten minutes later, Nora called me.

“Darling, I might take a while to get back.”

Nora explained that although she took the medicine in time, she still developed a slight rash. She had to wait for the medicine to take effect and for the rash to subside

a bit before returning

“No problem, rest well. If you feel uncomfortable, have the driver take you back to the hotel.”

“What about you?” Nora sounded particularly guilty, “How can I not be by your side on a day like today? I can’t let you watch Alpha Nathan get engaged to another woman all alone. I must… Oh, right!‘

Nora changed the subject, “Did you invite a male companion? Is he here? The assistant who picked you up last night?”

“No,” I sighed and looked around, not finding Moss. “…He probably hasn’t arrived yet. It’s only 8:50; 1 told him to be here before ten.”

“You can pinpoint the time?” Nora was amazed. “Now I’m curious about this peculiar creature you invited as a companion.”

In my mind flashed Moss, wearing protective goggles, in a serious pose among a pile

of physiotherapy equipment, murmuring, “Probably a workaholic?”

“What’s his name?”

“His name is

“Diana!”

Just as I was about to tell Nora, a woman’s voice sounded behind me. I turned around to see Kate walking towards me with a group of young men and women.

Kate, Wayne’s niece and Nathian’s cousin, like Wayne, had made things difficult for me throughout the two years of my marriage to Nathan. The people following her were her henchmen.

On one memorable occasion, I was forced to kneel before them, serving them afternoon tea.

Now, it seemed Kate was here to make things difficult for me again.

To avoid Nora’s worry, I hung up the phone.

“What’s up?” When Kate and her entourage walked up to me, I asked casually.

“It really is you,” Kate scrutinized my attire. “How dare you come back? And dressed like this, so shabby?”

I couldn’t be bothered with these recently graduated naive kids and turned to leave. A man who was two heads taller than me blocked my way.

“Kate is talking to you, didn’t you hear?” The man looked at me with a warning expression.

I glanced at him and said coldly, “Move.”

“A discarded woman like you, who was kicked out, has no right to order me around. My uncle is a Beta!”

“Oh?” I raised an eyebrow, showing a keen interest. Then, in the man’s increasingly triumphant expression, I said indifferently, “No recollection.”

The man’s face froze instantly, then turned red.

“No recollection? How could you not remember? It’s me! I am—”

“That’s enough! Stop wasting words on her!” Kate glared fiercely at the man, who immediately shut his mouth.

Kate walked up to me, looking down at me arrogantly, every move reminiscent of Avia.

“I heard that after you were taken away by Alpha Marc of the Blade Moon Pack, you became his mistress?” Kate’s tone was full of disdain.

I raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that many members of the Dark Moon Pack still didn’t know about my identity. Things were getting interesting.

“Who told you that?” I asked, not in a hurry to clarify my status.

“Does it matter? Shouldn’t the focus be that, as a lowly mistress, you have no right to attend my cousin’s engagement ceremony?” Kate sneered.

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“What are you laughing at?” Kate glared at me.

I shook my head, “Nothing. I just can’t understand why you’re so convinced that I’m Marc’s mistress.”

“Otherwise? If it weren’t for your shameless actions, seducing Alpha Marc during my cousin’s marriage, how could Alpha Marc have personally come to Dark Moon Pack a year ago to pick up an unidentified woman like you, without status and money?”

“Then I’m even more puzzled.” I swirled my glass. “If I’m indeed so important to Alpha Marc, daring to provoke me like this, aren’t you afraid of offending him?”

Kate sneered.

“Do you think I haven’t noticed? Alpha Marc brought his Luna today, obviously, he loves his Luna, April, very much. As for you…”

Kate’s gaze once again swept over my green dress, with undisguised disdain.

“You can’t even afford a designer dress, probably lost Alpha Marc’s favor long ago. A lowly mistress, played out, not even comparable to a maid. You actually delude yourself into thinking that Alpha Marc would stand up for you, simply ridiculous.” I chuckled indifferently.

JC:

“Since you find me so insignificant, why bother gathering a group to confront me so aggressively? Doing so only makes me feel that you care a lot about me, fear me.” “Stop disgusting me.” Kate growled, “I came to find you just to prevent you from causing trouble! Ruining my cousin and Avia’s engagement banquet! Who knows if you were rejected by Alpha Marc and regret it, wanting to entangle my cousin again?”

I couldn’t help but frown.

To be honest, Kate’s words disgusted me as well. However, Kate mistakenly thought that my frowning meant she had hit a nerve, becoming even more arrogant.

“Diana, stop daydreaming. My cousin never loved you before, and he never will in the future! Only women with noble status like Avia deserve my cousin, worthy of becoming the Luna of our Dark Moon Pack!”

I rolled my eyes, feeling like I was crazy to waste time with these people.

“What does it have to do with me?” I said coldly, turning to leave.

Kate grabbed my arm.

“No! You can’t leave! I absolutely won’t let you ruin my cousin’s wedding!”

“Let go.” My tone became completely cold.

Perhaps the heavy impatience and disgust in my eyes frightened Kate, and she shrank her neck

But soon, she became even angrier.

“Diana, how dare you speak to me with that attitude? Kneel down! I told you to kneel down, just like a year ago when you knelt down and apologized to me, or else—”

“Or else?” The past humiliations resurfaced, and my patience wore thin. “Kate, I’ll give you one last piece of advice, don’t mess with me.”

Kate widened her eyes suddenly, seemingly unable to believe that I dared to ignore her orders, immediately shaking with anger.

“Diana, are you looking for death? You-”

“Kate.”

Just then, a girl who had been following Kate pulled her aside, whispering in her ear,

“Maybe we shouldn’t provoke her.”

“Why shouldn’t we? What can a lowly maid like her do to me?”

The girl’s eyes glanced directly at the crown on my head, her expression complicated.

“Do you see the tiara on Diana’s head? When I was young, I accompanied my grandmother to a top global jewelry exhibition. The tiara on Diana’s head was the grand finale of the entire jewelry exhibition. Its value is immeasurable. Anyone who can wear this crown must have a status that is either rich or noble. Diana might not be as simple as we imagine…”
