Rosie and Hailey served food to the guests as I entered the party. I began to approach them and continued my work, too. Lily's eyes were contemptuous of me because I wasn't around all day. There will be severe consequences coming to me for not being around all day. I hope Lilly doesn't be too harsh on me with the punishment after this party. The look on Hailey and Rosie's faces tells me Hailey must have told Rosie about me getting rejected by Alpha Jacob. "Please don't sadly look at me. I am fine, I have been able to work. The only thing I am bothered about right now is whether Lily will spare me today." Then, with a voice of sadness, I said. "Grace, it looks like you are exhausted. Hailey and I will cover your shift, and since it is your birthday today, you should take some time to rest. Furthermore, given that you've also been rejected by your Mate, it's much more difficult to work." I heard Rosie say as she put her hand on my shoulder. It's better for me to work than to sit in pain. I don't care about my birthday. I just want to be busy. If I sit Idol, I will only cry my eyes out." I replied as I arranged the food on the trays. Hailey and Rosie sighed at me when they heard my reply. I walked from guest to guest with trays of food and then returned to refill the trays. But I paused in the middle of my work. I was stunned when I heard, "We have a second mate, Grace." Cindy, my wolf, purred in my head. Behind me, I sensed someone standing, and a foresty scent wafted through the air. In front of me is the familiar face with gray eyes. Don't tell me that this stranger, whose clothes I had ruined earlier, is my Mate. "Grace, My mate." The stranger purred to me, to which my heart rate increased. "What is your name?" I asked in confusion, thinking to myself, Why do you have a second mate when I haven't accepted rejection from my First Mate? "Grayson Hunter, the Alpha of the Shadow Pack." The tone of his voice conveyed a sense of authority. These two packs are rivals, the Red Moon Pack concerning power and influence. "I already have a mate. I mated with alpha Jacob Green, but he refused to accept me as his Mate. Even though I haven't accepted his rejection, I remain his Mate. It's a challenge for me to understand how I came to be mated to you." I said, my eyes swollen with tears as I slumped on the ground, tears streaming down my cheeks. Having knelt on one knee, Alpha Grayson dry-wiped my cheeks with his hands while I begged him, "Please, Alpha Grayson, leave me alone." "It's okay. Don't cry. When I see you in tears, it saddens me. For the time being, I will leave you alone. But keep in mind that I am also your Mate." Alpha Grayson said. As I watched him leave, tears streamed down my cheeks as I stared at his back. Thank God no one was around when I talked to Alpha Grayson. As I tried to hold back tears, I slowly began to put food on trays. However, I was still feeling the effects of rejection, and I was also in pain as I spoke of it. After a long absence, I returned to the party with a food tray. Trying to find Alpha Grayson, I also scanned the area to see if I could find Alpha Jacob. Unfortunately, I was not able to find either of them. I sighed in relief and kept working for a long time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the party roared suddenly, women whispered how hot the Alpha Jacob looked and ogled at him, and I knew who entered the party. I was incredibly impressed by Alpha Jacob's appearance. I noticed his bulging upper arms and a well-defined torso border right away, as he wore khaki pants with a black shirt and black loafers. The eyes of Alpha Jacob and mine met, but I quickly averted them as soon as I made contact. I lowered my head and worked on pouring the drink into the glass as I felt someone's gaze on me. As I glanced upward, I discovered Alpha Grayson's eyes on me as he watched me intently. Alpha Grayson's clothing never caught my attention until now. I stared at him for a few minutes. Alpha Grayson's attire depicted his masculine frame, but now that I look closer, I see him wearing ripped black jeans, a white t-shirt, a black denim jacket, and black shoes. I could see how many women were already around him. This is a sign that he can attract the attention of any woman he desires if he is determined to do so. When Alpha Grayson noticed me staring at him, he smirked at me. Quickly, I backed off my gaze and quickly turned to face Alpha Jacob, who was wearing a look of anger in his eyes. I stepped away from the party to avoid the stares of Alpha's eyes.
