Chapter 277: Meeting Again
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You’ll know when you get there.” Sasha didn’t stop, but Michael stopped her.
“Make it clear before you leave.” Just like what Sasha had said, Michael blocked the door sullenly.
“I’m not telling you.” Sasha rolled her eyes at Michael and turned back to face me. “It’s a surprise. I can’t tell you in advance. You still don’t believe me? Come with me, Cecily.”
I had no choice but to be dragged away by Sasha again. I could only cast an apologetic look at Michael, and when I passed him, I whispered to him, “I’ll make it up to you when I return.”

On the way, I repeatedly asked Sasha what exactly made her drag me away in such a hurry. However, Sasha always said that it was a secret.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had successfully piqued my curiosity about this matter. Other than Michael, Sasha was the person I trusted the most in the entire palace. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have abandoned my date with Michael and left with her.
In fact, whether it was before or now, as long as Michael was busy, I would always be grateful to have Sasha by my side. She was a very interesting, and fun things always happened with her. She also made my life exciting.
But it was a pity that her vacation was ending, and she’d have to return to the university soon. If Michael was still as busy as he was now, I really wouldn’t have anyone to talk to.
Perhaps I should find something to do in the palace again. I wonder what Queen Wendy had been doing in the palace all these years. Her attitude toward me was not bad, much better than that of the King.
Sasha mysteriously led me to a room before leaving.
I pushed the door open and smelled a familiar scent, but it seemed different.
My eyes suddenly widened as I saw a familiar figure. My face was filled with surprise.
“Kate!” I hugged her warmly and smiled widely.
Kate didn’t look the same as before. Her golden hair wasn’t wavy but was pulled back into a regular bun on the top of her head. There were few accessories. She was wearing a long dress that didn’t show off her figure, covering the curves of her body that she had tried so hard to show in the past. However, her pair of mesmerizing green eyes had not changed.
Most importantly, the sickly and dispirited aura on her body had disappeared. She looked very healthy, her eyes were bright, and her skin was smooth. This must be because she lived with her mate. A suitable mate always put a person in a better state.
“Cecily.” There was a smile on Kate’s face. She looked very excited, but she didn’t show all her emotions like before. I noticed her change.
“Wow, you look much better than the last time we met. Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I could have asked Michael to bring me to pick you up,” I said.
“It’s a long story.” Kate smiled.
“It’s okay. We have a lot of time. We can talk about it slowly.” I excitedly pulled Kate to the side and sat down. “We haven’t seen each other for a long time. How have you been?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe last time Kate and I parted ways, we were still in school. After that, I kept hearing about her from other people. After Alex took her away, I received less and less information about her. I kept feeling that something was wrong.
Although my rationality told me that Kate should be fine in Aunt Carol’s care in the Ancient Wood Pack, and Alex was her mate, so no matter how angry he was, he wouldn’t hurt Kate, I was still worried about her.
After all, Kate’s personality and the old-fashioned style of the Ancient Wood Pack were incompatible. I doubted if she could adapt to life there. Kate seemed to be able to get along with everyone, but she was a very principled person. She wouldn’t change easily for others. Alex also seemed to be a stubborn person, so I was afraid that they wouldn’t get along.
“I’m fine. Life in the pack is almost the same,” Kate said.
I noticed something strange and looked behind Kate, but I didn’t see anyone.
“Where’s Alex? Why isn’t he here?”
I’d seen Alex’s possessiveness toward Kate. He almost ate me the last time we talked on the phone. And I also smelled the scent of an unfamiliar Alpha on Kate, to be honest, I didn’t believe that Alex would let Kate come to such a far place alone.
Just look at Michael. They were all men with the same possessiveness. They regarded their mate as their own, and once their mate disappeared, they would become mad dogs.
“He... He didn’t come with me,” Kate said hesitantly.
I was stunned for a second before I suddenly thought of a possibility. Kate did the same thing I did before.
