Chapter 97 The Interrupted Luncheon

[Diana’s P.O.V.]

As Patrick led me into the castle, I saw the beautiful couple I had seen in the restaurant, as well as other people around them. Lily happily ran to the side of an elderly couple. They must be Patrick’s parents. A younger man stood beside them and I guessed that it was his younger brother.

“Welcome, Diana. I am the leader of the race, Edward. This is my wife, Rose.” The man named Edward introduced himself first, even though we had already met before.

“Then the two of you must be the Alpha and Luna of Sunset Pack,” said I.

“It seems that you are already quite acquainted with our world,” said he with a smile. The others also smiled, which eased my nervousness greatly.

Everyone introduced themselves to me as they welcomed me to their home. Patrick’s mother even held my hand and talked to me, telling me that she was having mixed feelings about the fact that her precious son had finally found his destined mate.

“Pat is a very good man and I am very grateful to the moon goddess for bringing us together.” When I said this, his parents were quite pleasantly surprised. No parent didn’t like hearing praises of their children. And I meant every word I said.

After we exchanged pleasantries, they took me further into the castle. It was so big that I almost let out some profanities as I gasped. Even the paintings hanging on the wall in the corridor seemed to be the works of great artists. Patrick said that he would take me on a tour around the castle after lunch.

We went into the dining room and I saw some servants already waiting there. Before me was a large table that could seat more than ten people on one side.

Patrick pulled out a chair for me before taking a seat on my left while his mother sat on my right. Another ranked member, Gamma Ad signaled for the servants to serve the food.

I didn’t know if they usually ate these, but it seemed to me that they went beyond preparing foods of what Patrick had told me earlier: “Just a small welcome lunch, don’t be shy.”

Each dish was introduced to us by a silver-haired lady who they called Mrs. Daisy and I was guessing that she was the head chef.

We ate happily and the atmosphere was pleasant. They did not treat me differently just because I was the only human here. My family had not been complete since I was a child, so I always yearned for and cherished this happy atmosphere even more.

“D*mn it! How dare you have a family gathering here behind my back!!”

Just as I was about to put a piece of caviar into my mouth, I heard an angry roar from a woman.

I looked in the direction of the voice and found a woman with red hair that fell over her shoulders. She was short but full of energy as she walked toward us, still cursing.

“Eve, get the f*ck out of here!”

Patrick’s little brother, Noah stood up and scolded the woman. Oh, this must be the elf Patrick was telling me about. Although I had naively thought that all elves were elegant just like in the movies, the reality did not seem to be the case.

“F*ck you, why should I leave? Whose child then is in my stomach?”

“Darling, why don’t we let her stay?”

I whispered to my lover beside me. I did not want to cause any trouble at my welcoming party, but my lover did not seem to have any intentions of doing so.

“Eve, today is my mate’s welcome party and I don’t remember inviting you. You’re not my brother’s mate anyway,” said Patrick firmly to her.

“Oh, another wh*re coming to get a piece of the pie? She is a human! Why can she sit at this table and I can’t? I think you are all f*cking crazy.”

Why did she just call me a whore? Patrick growled angrily beside me. I didn’t know what he would do but I quickly grabbed his arm.

“If you continue to talk nonsense here, I will punish you with the crime of harassing a member of the pack.”

Alpha finally spoke up. For some reason, his voice sounded very intimidating. The elf stopped cursing and complaining. She turned to leave but not before saying, “You will pay the price for your insolence!”

To be honest, I was at a loss. I didn’t expect to witness a family dispute on my first visit. And it was all because of me.

“Mom, Dad! I already said that I don’t want to be with a woman who only knows how to mess around! If this continues, I’m going to go crazy,” said Noah to his parents, but they only looked troubled.

“Alright, let’s continue eating. We can talk about family matters later in private,” said Patrick.

I remembered Patrick telling me that his brother hadn’t met his destined mate yet. Eve was only Noah’s one-night stand but his parents were taking care of her because Eve was pregnant.

While I did not agree with Noah’s attitude of not wanting to be responsible for getting someone pregnant because of a one-night stand, Patrick said that his brother had been deceived by the elf, and that the elf was a complete shrew, always wary of every woman who appeared around Noah.

I understood his feelings and believed what he said. But to be honest, I was feeling quite neutral on the matter at the moment, probably because of my family background and because I was also a woman. She might have just called me a b*tch but how could I get mad at her when I hardly knew her?
