The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 589

Chapter 589: THE LADY IN RED

I walked into the ball, my tummy filled with twisted knots and my heart beating rapidly.

From the moment I had walked the steps leading up to the ball, my body felt on fire.

The stairs were quiet and lit by beautiful candelabras that helped illuminate the way up.

I took in a deep breath and gently walked up ahead.

There weren’t servants on the left and right sides of the stairs, but instead well-dressed omegas on guard.

They didn’t say a word to me, their face remaining motionless while I ascended the stairs.

Unknown to me, the moment I went past them, they would turn their eyes to stare at me.

I ascended the stairs, anxiety building up as there was no one else.

How late was I?

I considered turning back to leave, but told myself that Nanny Nia and Hildegard would have me strangled if I had never gone in the first place.

After all, I couldn’t turn this down.

It would seem as though I was ungrateful.

Especially after all the effort they had put into making me look this beautiful.

Once I reached the massive mahogany doors of the ball, guards stood.

They gawked at me so much that their mouth were open.

Then they snapped up and quickly returned to their positions. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

They opened the doors wide open, and I saw the ball filled with different people.

Everyone wore masks of different styles, beautiful dresses, and Surcoats.

No one had a dress like mine.

And, significantly, no one wore red.

I slowly walked down the red carpet, and soon everyone started turning to look at me.

In a matter of seconds, the noise chatter in the ball died down, and only the music from violins and other instruments could be heard.

It now occurred to me that I had become the center of attention.

I swallowed hard and tried to maintain my composure.

I didn’t see anyone I knew; just men and women in their respective attire.

I finally walked away from the red carpet and found myself a quiet and calm space beside a table filled with drinks.

The other guests tried to stare away, but I could feel their eyes glaring down at me.

A servant offered me a drink, and I collected it shaken.

"Thank you," I said as I sipped whatever it was.

By the time I was halfway through the drink, I was beginning to regret it.

I refrained from spitting it out.

It wasn’t enjoyable.

Was this the wine that Elite Wolf went crazy all the time?

"There are other better wines than those." A male voice from behind me said.

I turned around and saw a young wolf, most likely in his late twenties, though I wasn’t sure, who wore a bronze mask and brown hair.

I managed a smile. "Oh, I see."

He handed me a wine in his hand. "Here have this."

"No, thank you, I’m fine," I said.

I didn’t think I would want to collect wine from an absolute stranger.

"You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen." He said.

I choked and then graduated to coughing so violently.
