Chapter 114

• The next evening, Hazel and her family prepared for Ruben and Carol's wedding. Wyatt made a special request: he asked everyone to act normal and avoid questioning Hazel. He believed that reminders of the moment might provoke her instincts, and he wanted to keep things calm. Despite Wyatt's wishes to escort them, Hazel insisted on going with her family. As they arrived at the venue, She felt a sense of joy and excitement for the wedding, yet there was a lingering fear beneath it all. The recent incident where she had attacked Wyatt still haunted her, and she worried about losing control of herself again. The presence of her family provided comfort, but she couldn't shake the feeling of unease, unsure of what might happen next.
• The place was adorned with stunning decorations featuring white and red flowers, creating a romantic and joyful atmosphere. The venue itself was a charming garden setting with twinkling fairy lights, soft music playing in the background, and elegant seating arrangements under a canopy of trees. Hazel took in the beauty of the surroundings. As she scanned the scene, Hazel noticed Misty looking lost. Carol and Ruben's parents greeted them amidst the ongoing party. Wanting to talk to Dimitry, Hazel picked up a glass of wine and approached him. "Everything okay between you two?" Hazel asked.
• "Yeah," Dimitry replied.
