Counterback of the Despised Luna Chapter 18 Stealing the Diamond Ring Cadens POV : Finished Ive got it . When I was close to Roseline , I caught that faint fragrance on her again . Exactly as I remembered . Could it be … is Roseline the girl who saved me when I was young ? I couldnt hold back any longer and finally asked her the question thats been buried in my heart for so long . Is it really her ? Could that gentle girl be the same person as this constant thorn in my side ? But Roselines expression didnt have the surprise or emotion Id expected . She just shook her head lightly . No ! A wave of disappointment crept over me . Oh , Moon Goddess , why must you be so cruel ? Ive searched hard for her , driven by my memories and longing . At that moment , Id really hoped that girl was Roseline . I let out a silent , bitter laugh and forced myself to pull my emotions back . I guess my intuition just isnt sharp enough yet . Three months from now , when I become the Alpha of Eclipse Pack , Ill definitely find you ! Roselines POV : I have no idea whats up with Caden . What did he mean with that question and the look he gave me ? Was he hoping Id been kidnapped or something ? After that , he didnt say anything . Eleanor was already waiting by the front door when we got home and handed Caden a red invitation card . This weekend is Mr. Crawfords 70th birthday . Dont forget . Raymond Crawford is Wendys grandfather . Hes the leader of the biggest werewolf clan in Rivemon outside of Eclipse Pack . I think they call themselves the Wild Pack . I couldnt care less about going , but since Im living under someone elses roof , I dont exactly have a choice . The partys at Rivemons fanciest hotel , Hearthstone Hotel . Only the big shots will be there . Normally . I wouldnt even consider going to something like this , but Eleanor made sure to wake me up bright and early . While I got dressed and did my makeup , she kept nagging me with the same old line Im so tired of hearing : Dont embarrass the Holbrooks ! The party was full of clinking glasses and endless chatter . Alphas and high level werewolves from various packs were there , trying to make connections . I hid in a corner , bored out of my mind , and glanced at my fiancé , who was , as usual , soaking up all the attention . Deciding Id had enough , I got up to head to the rooftop for some fresh air . 1/3 81 % Chapter 18 Stealing the Diamond Ring Finished Wendy lifted her hand , showing off a diamond ring that sparkled on her pale finger , making her look even more elegant . See this ? she boasted . Its a limited edition ring designed by Ada , one of the top designers in the world . My grandpa bought it for me at an auction in Paris for my birthday last year , Its beautiful ! her friends gushed . Only Wendy could pull off such an exquisite piece . What a boring conversation . Couldnt they come up with anything new ? I glanced at the ring on Wendys finger . Sure , it was nice , but the diamond was a bit small . Compared to the ones my grandfather used to give me , this was basically a trinket . Could you guys move , please ? I couldnt be bothered with them , so I brushed past them and walked ahead . As I did , I heard their voices sneering behind me . Omegas are just peasants pretending to belong . After cooling off on the rooftop , I returned to the hall , only to be singled out by a waitress in a uniform . She pointed at me and loudly declared , Its her ! Shes the one I saw ! I looked at her , wondering if she was out of his mind . What was she talking about ? Wendy stepped in at just the right moment , glaring at me . Roseline , so it was you who stole my ring ?! Did I steal her ring ? What kind of nonsense was this ? I frowned slightly and looked at Wendy . What ring ? Her friends gathered around , joining in with accusing voices . Who wouldve guessed ? So , Mr. Holbrooks fiancée is a thief . Fiancée ? Shes just an Omega from the sticks . Shes probably never seen a diamond ring like that in her life . If she cant afford it , then of course shed steal it . Wendy , dont waste time on her . Just call the police ! Suddenly , it all made sense they were trying to frame me for theft . I glanced at Wendys hand ; sure enough , the ring was gone . Whats going on here ? Raymond had heard the commotion and hobbled over with his cane. Wendy clutched his arm and looked up at him , her voice trembling with anger . Grandpa , you have to do something . Roseline stole the ring you gave me ! Raymond patted her shoulder soothingly , then turned to me , his gaze sharp . Sinclair , did you take Wendys ring ? I smiled calmly . No , I didnt . Raymond gave me a hard look , his brows knitting together . Its just a ring , but this one means a lot to Wendy . If you really like it , Ms. Sinclair , Ill give you an even better one another time . But for now, please return it to Wendy . I sighed , exasperated . I didnt take it , so how am I supposed to return it ?
