Chapter 5

The man winced in pain but didn't dare make a sound.

Serena grabbed Elias: "Elias! What are you doing!"

Elias's eyes were ice cold: "I'm helping out, can't you see? If you're going to act crazy, I suggest getting your head checked!" He then threw the man's hand aside.

The man didn't dare provoke Elias and could only glare at me viciously.

I was somewhat surprised and glanced at Elias.

He would actually help me?

Serena could barely maintain her gentle expression and stiffly changed the subject: "I heard the Alpha King and his family are also upstairs. We're lucky today—we might get to see them."

The werewolves got excited.

"The Alpha King? That Caius who became Alpha King before thirty? I heard he married quite early, and the Luna Queen is so well protected she's never appeared publicly!"

"More than that! The Luna Queen seems to be a medical expert with quite exceptional medical skills!"

"We might see them in person today? What a treat!"

As the words fell, a group of Beta guards escorting a little boy about five or six years old walked into the hall.

The crowd instantly erupted.

"With this escort, it must be the Alpha King's son! He's so handsome!"

The lecherous werewolf from earlier sidled up to me again, lowering his voice with foul breath: "Aisling, if it weren't for Serena and Alpha Elias, how would someone like you ever be qualified to see such important people? If it were me, I'd have thanked them long ago. Just accept the arrangement obediently. Not only can you get that five-thousand-dollar job, but maybe..."

His gaze swept over me lecherously, "You could also receive my affection."

I glanced at him coldly, preparing to call the guards.

At that moment, the little boy being surrounded scanned the entire venue, and his gaze suddenly fixed on me.

His previously expressionless little face instantly bloomed with a huge smile. He broke free from the guards and ran toward me.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, he plunged into my arms.

"Mommy! I finally found you—"
