Rebecca/Belle's POV:
I couldn't believe that when I was about to head home to start the revenge plan, I was stuck in the middle of the traffic. I was so fucking pissed off, and it was ruining my mood.
Honestly, I might look confident on the outside, but I felt scared and nervous inside. I was surrounded by many questions popping into my mind.
"What if they recognize me?"
"How are they going to react?"
"Did they despise me?"
"Is my mate going to break my heart again by staying with my sister?"
"Am I really nothing to them in their eyes?"
Romeo noticed my expression through the rearview mirror and said, "Rebecca, I may not know what happened to you in the past, but you are a strong woman. Do what your heart wants, and don't let your guard down. Make those people regret hurting your innocent heart."
"Thanks, Romeo, for giving me advice. I will stay strong for everyone's sake! I promise you that I will not let my guard down," I said with a soft smile.
"That's my strong, favorite singer!" Romeo flashed me a smile.
I smiled and looked out of the window, admiring the city view.
"If anything happens, can you let me take control to handle the situation?" Trisha, my wolf, said.
"I will think about it first because I still don't trust you when you face our mate."
"Okay, but don't do anything bad, okay? I do not want the same thing to happen again," she whimpered, and I felt kind of bad.
"Okay, I promise."
Two years ago, when I was still emotionally unstable, both of us were so angry that I accidentally let Trisha take control of my body.
She almost killed one of William's guards, and because of that, I did not let her take control of my body unless she wanted to go outdoors to run or train.
"Rebecca, we are here."
He got out of the car and opened the car door for me. Once the car door was open, a sweet smell with a pleasant honey aroma suddenly filled the air.
Trisha snickered. "Mate!"
"I know," I frowned and said.
Once I stepped out of the car, I thanked Romeo, and he drove the car away to park. I took out my phone from my purse and called William to inform him that I had arrived.
After calling him, I went into the house and to the room where they held the party. When I was about to head in, the smell became stronger and stronger, and all the memories that we had came back to me at full force.
I felt dizzy all of a sudden and put my hand on the wall to support myself. I quickly took out my medicine from my bag and swallowed it. I calmed myself down until I heard someone calling me.
"Rebecca, are you okay?" The person rushed up to me.
Luckily, it was Rose who was here to rescue me.
"I'm fine. I just suddenly felt the memories that I had with my mate."
"Are you sure you are fine? We can stop the plan here for now." Rose had a worried expression on her face.
"No! I worked hard for who I am now, and I am going to show them that I am a strong woman!"
"Okay then. Now, let's quickly go backstage. William is at the stage now delivering his speech."
She held my hand as she led me backstage and said, "Good luck to you."
"Thank you."
We said our goodbyes to each other, and she went back to the party to find her mate.
Rose's mate happens to be one of Blake's pack members and good friends, but she hadn't mentioned his name to me yet, which I planned to find out later.
I walked to the curtain to listen to William's speech as it was difficult to see the audience.
"It is an honor to have the Blue Moon Crescent Pack join us today. We have a surprise for you: our one and only singer, Rebecca Wilson. She will be singing "Kill Em With Kindness" for us. Please clap for her!" I heard him saying.
I saw William walk down and walk his way to Blake.
Blake's POV:
When Alpha William was about to deliver his speech, there was this smell that was so familiar to me. It was so strong that I looked around the party to find it but could not.
Thousands of questions were in my head.
"Where did I smell this before?"
"Who is it?"
"Why am I attracted to it?"
I tried to focus on Alpha Blake's speech until he said the part about a surprise singer. When he said the singer's name, the wolf inside me became excited, but I did not know the reason why. He did not want to tell me.
When the singer walked to the stage, all the memories returned to me from when I found out she was dead.
Rebecca/Belle's POV:
"Oh my god! Did I hear that it is a famous singer and model?" I heard some people say with loud gasps.
I calmed myself and said to myself, "Be strong. You can do this! Show them who you are!" I walked confidently to the microphone that stood on the stage. I noticed many people clapping for me.
I followed the scent, looked in the direction of my mate, and saw that he had a shocked expression. I smirked at him, focused on other people, and nodded my head to the musician to start the music.
I began to tap my hand on the microphone to follow the tempo.
I sang till the end of my song and said, "It was a pleasure to sing for you. Thank you!"
With that, I walked backstage, and William's beta took over.
I mind-linked William and said, "I am going to your side now."
William mind-linked me. "Okay, it's going to be fun, babe."
I chuckled and went to the party floor. I spotted William and my mate, and I walked towards them.
When they noticed my presence, they turned their head in my direction, admiring my beauty.
"Alpha Blake, this is Rebecca Wilson, my girlfriend. And Rebecca, this is Alpha Blake, the Alpha of Blue Moon Crescent Pack." I walked to William, and he wrapped his hand around my waist.
I said confidently, hiding my shaking voice, "Nice to meet you, Alpha Blake."
I held out my hand, waiting for his hand to shake. He looked shocked for a while till he masked his expression and held my hand to shake. When he held my hand, I felt the adrenaline in me make me want to pull him closer to me. I quickly brought myself out of my thoughts and pulled my hand away from him.
I noticed him frowning and ignored him.
"How was the photo shoot? Was it tiring?" William put his hand on my chin and moved my face to face him.
"Yeah, it was tiring, but the good thing was that Mr. Plo wants to meet with me again!"
"That's great! I am proud of you." William kissed my forehead.
Before William could finish his sentence, Blake cleared his throat loudly, and both of us turned our heads to him.
"I am sorry, Alpha Blake. You know how it feels to be with someone you love," William said.
I noticed that Blake was clenching his fists, not liking William calling me his girlfriend.
"It's alright. I understand." He put on his fake smile.
When both of them were talking, I got bored and looked around the party. What caught my attention was two old couples who looked like they were in their late 50s. I looked closely and saw that it was my parents.
I quickly looked back at Blake and William, hoping that my parents would see me. But I did not realize that they had been looking at me since the moment I stood on stage.
I felt someone behind me, and I heard a lady saying, "Belle, is that you?"
I looked behind and locked eyes with the people I loved, no matter how much I hated them.
