Chapter 25 As soon as they left the room , I wasted no time . I picked up the phone and called the restaurant , reserving a table that was close enough to theirs so I could keep an eye on them . My heart was pounding , but it wasnt because I was nervous it was excitement . I could already picture how tonight would unfold . I was going to make sure Lena remembered exactly where she stood , and I couldnt wait to see the look on her face . By six oclock , I was completely ready . I had taken a long shower , letting the warm water relax me , and then carefully applied my favorite perfume a ent that was soft yet captivating . I kept my makeup light but flattering , just enough to highlight my best features without making it look too much . Finally , I chose the perfect dress : a deep crimson gown that fit me like a glove , accentuating my curves . The dress had a daring slit that ran up one leg , showing just enough to grab attention without being too bold . I glanced in the mirror one last time , feeling confident and prepared for what was to come . As soon as I walked into the restaurant , I could feel the change in the room . People turned to look at me , and conversations instantly stopped . I couldnt help but enjoy the attention it was exactly what I wanted . With every step I took , I felt my confidence grow , and soon , I caught Lenas eye . Her expression changed instantly , and I could see the shock in her face as she recognized me . Her face was a mix of shock and fear , and it was absolutely priceless . Her hand tightened around her wine glass so much that , for a moment , I thought she might actually break it . I met her wide eyed gaze , gave her a sly , knowing smile , and walked past her table slowly , making sure she noticed every step . Lena ? Silas asked , raising an eyebrow as he noticed her stiffened posture . Whats wrong ? Nothing ! she said quickly , her voice strained . She leaned forward , blocking Silass view with her body . Just … just focus on dinner , okay ? I found my table and sat down , acting as if I hadnt noticed the tension Id created . I picked up the menu , pretending to focus on it , but from the corner of my eye , I kept an eye on Lena . It was clear she couldnt relax . She kept shifting in her seat , her hands nervously playing with her utensils . She would pick up her fork , set it down again , and barely touched the food in front of her . The more restless she became , the more satisfied I felt . Eventually , she couldnt take it anymore . Excuse me for a moment , she muttered to Silas before rushing off toward me . I didnt look up as she approached , but the clack of her heels on the tiled floor was unmistakable . She stopped beside my table , her voice low but venomous . Lorelei , what are you doing here ? she hissed . I blinked innocently , setting my fork down . Im having dinner , obviously . Why else would I be at a restaurant ? Dont act innocent , she snapped , leaning in closer with a fierce look in her eyes . Her voice was sharp now , almost frantic . You cant let Silas see you ! Do you understand ? She said it like she was warning me , her panic clear in every word . Why not ? I asked , tilting my head as if the idea had never crossed my mind . Hes the Alpha , isnt he ? The one everyone in the Snowtooth pack looks up to ? Her eyes darkened , and she lowered her voice further . Because I said so . Listen to me , Lorelei . If you dont , things wont end well for you . Magnificent Return of the Rejected Luna 4.1 % Chapter 25 I leaned back in my chair , studying her with amusement . Are you threatening me , Lena ? Call it what you want , she said coldly . Just stay out of our way . I watched as Lena stormed off , her body stiff with anger . She walked quickly , trying to hide her frustration , and I could feel the tension in the air as she left . Once she was out of sight , I couldnt help but smile slowly to myself . I knew exactly what had her so upset Lena was terrified of Silas seeing me because of how much I looked like Rowena . It all clicked . The way she acted , the way she tried to stop me from being seen by him it was clear she didnt want him to make the connection . And she was right to worry . Aew minutes later , I decided it was time to make my move . I stood up and walked toward their table , every step deliberate and confident . Silas noticed me immediately . His eyes widened in recognition , and he stood up before I could even greet them . Lorelei ? he said , his tone filled with surprise and something else something warmer . Silas , I replied with a soft smile . What a coincidence seeing you here . Lenas face paled as she looked between us . You two … know each other ? است Title: A Tangle of Love (English-dubbed) In "A Tangle of Love," a captivating romance unfolds within a unique observation show where participants navigate intricate relationships, love triangles, and power dynamics.
