Chapter 8. I Never Want You To Leave

Pearl felt like a meteor had hit her head. She couldn't believe the man who looked like someone in her nightmare was now her future husband. Other guests who felt better than Pearl are now mockingly whispering about her. Meanwhile, Pearl shook her head, not wanting to take the situation.

"Oh, of course she will take it," Sandra instantly agreed, as if Pearl had said something to decide. Pearl turned quickly to her stepmother, wanting to open her mouth to speak. She couldn't believe that her stepmother had sold her out so quickly.

"Then after dinner, we'll talk about it," Bruce said, revealing his decision. Pearl wanted to protest, but there was no one to help her. Why does everything get even more complicated?

Damian looked at the beautiful Pearl from his side to catch her attention. The girl had something that made Damian think about getting rid of Taggart faster. She was indeed an attractive human.

"We can't allow this," Matthew growled in annoyance. He grumbled softly next to Damian, who turned to him.

"Why do you say it, Dad?" Damian asked.

"If he finds his mate, he will presently lead this pack. It would be harder for us to eliminate the Kellents now. I have to kill her. Besides, she's just an ordinary human," said Matthew, taking a deep, annoyed breath as he squeezed his glass.

Damian thought for a moment. With an evil smirk, he raised the corners of his lips. An idea struck him, and Damian felt lucky.

"I have a better way. What if I also have my choice?" Damian said it suddenly. Damian continued to smile as he asked his questions. Matthew frowned in disbelief.

Damian then made a bold move. He stood up and made an announcement, drawing the attention of all the guests.

"I would like to announce something to all of you. As one of the candidates to run The Alpha, I have found my mate. She is a girl named Pearl."

Damian's confession suddenly stunned Taggart. Pearl had not yet had a chance to exhale in relief from the shock she had from Taggart. Now, she must receive a second hit on her life. The drama was getting more complicated.

"What did you say?" Taggart exclaimed. He would not obtain Damian's statement. Matthew also stood up. He grabbed Damian's arm. Damian didn't back down. He just took a glimpse at his father with a smirk.

"Yes, I fell in love with Miss Pearl. And I can feel that she is my mate," Damian stated clearly, without hesitation.

Bruce was also surprised to hear Damian's sudden statement. It was strange, considering Damian had just arrived. By any coincidence, has he known Pearl since the beginning?

Taggart still didn't accept it. He came out of his seat to hover Damian as if he were going to beat him. Bruce also glared as Taggart grabbed Damian by the collar of his suit, preparing to punch him.

"Don't you dare to try me! She's mine!" Taggart spouted angrily. Damian did not abide by how Taggart put him through. He shoved Taggart hard. They were on the verge of a physical confrontation. However, Bruce and Everest quickly held Taggart to prevent him from clashing more with Damian. Matthew also grabbed Damian's arm to defend him.

"She's not yours, Tagg. She even rejected you!" Damian sparked Taggart's annoyance more. He triggered his mad. Damian noticed that Pearl's expression did not show excitement when Taggart pointed at her. Thus, Damian felt that his chance to eliminate Taggart could happen sooner.

"It's enough. Don't fight here," Bruce said, interrupting the fight.

Pearl needed clarification. She didn't understand what was happening. Her gaze shifted from the angry Taggart to Damian. Pearl had never met Damian, so now the man admits he is in love with her. Unfortunately, Pearl wasn't flattered. This is particularly evident when she observes the guests' hostile stares.

"Look at her. She must be happy because two handsome men are fighting over her," said one of the guests, looking sarcastically at Pearl. Pearl could hear the whispers clearly, even though they were far away. Since childhood, Pearl has had peculiar powers. She can hear someone's whisper from a distance directed at him, so Pearl can even avoid someone's wrong intention towards her.

"Tagg, step away from the fight," Bruce whispered to Taggart. Unfortunately, Pearl can't read the werewolves' talk. Aside from that, she needs to learn the Kellents' identities. Therefore, she scowled when her lips formed a charming pout.

"He's attempting to ruin my future, Dad. Didn't you hear what he said?" said Taggart, hissing angrily.

"I know. But we have many human guests here. They will be shocked if they realize what happened," Bruce explained. Taggart was left to fend for himself. He turned away, not wanting to look at Damian, who was much more cynical and felt victorious. His gaze turned to Pearl, and he smiled. Bruce then turned to face Damian.

"Damian, it's best not to say anything that could create a commotion. I'm sure you'll understand what I mean." Damian smiled wider. Matthew even chuckled mockingly.

"This dinner was truly amazing. I didn't expect that my son would finally find his mate. This is the night I've been looking forward to," said Matthew, adding to the complicated situation.

Bruce could no longer tolerate Matthew's attitude. He was forced to end the dinner ball earlier.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you all enjoyed your dinner at my house. I appreciate your presence. Unfortunately, I have to put this event off. This is because my son has chosen his mate." Bruce then spoke strikingly to chase away their guests.

Pearl didn't even want to touch the dinner menu. Everyone now looked at her with hatred.

"My bodyguards will escort you to the door. Thank You." Bruce added it more.

Some families of guests were forced to stand up and leave. Most expressed disappointment and glared at Pearl. Only the Rosenthals remained seated in their chairs. Some of the Kellents' bodyguards were rude enough to force the present guests to leave.

When John was about to stand up, one of the guards forced him to sit back down.

"Sorry, Mr. Rosenthal. You will stay," the guard snapped at John. John had to obey. He turned to Pearl, who looked sad because of it.

After all the guests left, Taggart looked back at Pearl, who didn't want to glance at him. Meanwhile, Damian came closer. He smiled sweetly at Pearl. He stood not far from Taggart and greeted her instead.

"Miss Pearl, my name is Damian. Do you still remember me?"
