Chapter 61 The Auction Begins

• That morning, Zoe and I slipped into fresh clothes and headed out for the grandest charity auction in Moonshadow City.
• Neither of us bothered with those floor-length gowns the Alpha wives loved flaunting. We kept it simple. In werewolf society, bloodline scents did more talking than diamonds ever could. The moment we stepped into the glittering hall, dozens of eyes turned toward us—some curious, some envious… and a few that saw us as potential prey.
• Zoe, ever the social butterfly, greeted a few Beta noblewomen with that charming, practiced smile of hers. I stayed close, keeping quiet. It was my first time at an event like this—where smiles were sharp, and every conversation was a subtle game of dominance.
