In the evening, a ball was held inside the Palace with the windows opened wide, letting the guests gaze at the full moon.
Felissa gazed at the crowd on the side. After that talk with Idola, she wanted to see both Fabio and Vicenzo since both of them were acting suspiciously around her, and she wanted to confirm if they were her mate.
After all, it would solve Felissa’s problems about her marriage.
"Lady Felissa, it’s nice seeing you here," Fabio approached Felissa and bowed politely.
"Nice seeing you too, Lord Fabio," Felissa stated with a forced smile. She observed Fabio’s actions and remarks since he was one of her targets.
’If he’s my mate, my mother will approve of him since he’s a noble,’ Felissa thought, indicating Fabio’s nobility.
"May I invite you to a dance?" Fabio offered his hand for Felissa to take.
"Ah, sure," Felissa agreed and slowly put her hand into his. She wanted to feel if they were compatible and if she could see her future with him.
Fabio grinned widely and guided Felissa onto the dance floor, looking directly into her eyes. He stopped and pulled her closer to him.
Felissa could feel Fabio’s body heat and tried to keep it calm, but her heart was beating so fast, not because she felt giddy and excited. Instead, she felt nervous and uneasy.
’Ah, what should I do?’ Felissa thought and tried to stay calm, but her facial expression showed her true feelings.
"Are you unwell, Lady Felissa?" Fabio asked in concern and leaned forward where their faces were inches apart.
"I’m fine," Felissa forced a chirped voice to show she was delighted with the dance.
"That’s great! I was looking forward to have a solo ti with you, but there was so... pest. Now, I finally have you to myself!" Fabio exclaid and pulled Felissa’s waist closer to him. His breath fanned into her face, which made things awkward.
"Ha Ha," Felissa forced a laugh and glanced around. Several she-wolves were looking at them, but unconsciously, Felissa was looking for soone until her eyes landed on a familiar figure behind the pillar.
Felissa flinched upon seeing Vicenzo’s figure, which nearly made her trip over, but instead, she stepped into Fabio’s foot.
"Oh gosh! I’m sorry!" Felissa exclaid and stopped dancing.
"Ah no, it’s fine," Fabio forced a smile while winching in pain, but he made sure it wasn’t visible on his face not to dishearten Felissa.
"I should go," Felissa curtsied and ran away from the center. She felt ashad of herself for dancing with Fabio and didn’t know why. She felt what she did was wrong.
"Lady Felissa!" Fabio called out, but his voice was ignored, and he didn’t like it. He decided to follow Felissa and talk to her alone.
Felissa unconsciously went nearby the pillar to peek at Vicenzo, but he was nowhere in sight.
"Huh, where did he go?" Felissa muttered and scratched her head. "Wait... why am I searching for him!?" she exclaid and grasped her mouth in shock. She shook her head while trying to forget the thought and ran outside the venue to breathe fresh air.
"Ah, this is nice," Felissa muttered before finding a nearby bench. She felt good that she was alone, away from the crowd and noises.
"Lady Felissa, I thought I could never find you," Fabio stated while breathing heavily. He was running around and looking for her.
"Is there sothing you need, Lord Fabio?" Felissa asked in curiosity and tilted her head to the side.
"About that... Yes, I have sothing to say," Fabio composed himself and knelt before Felissa on one knee.
"What are you doing? Your clothes will get dirty," Felissa exclaid in a stunner and was about to assist Fabio to stand up, but he stopped her.
"Lady Felissa, hear out," Fabio stated with hazy eyes. He put a hand on his chest to show a sincere gesture.
"Umm, sure..." Felissa replied and had the urge to run away from Fabio. Her wolf was gagging inside and wanted to kick Fabio in the face.
"Lady Felissa, I apologize again for making fun of our first eting. It was unintentional on my side," Fabio stated softly, trying his best to sound like a nice guy.
"Oh, don’t bother, Lord Fabio. I don’t mind it, and you already apologized," Felissa replied while waving both hands in front to dismiss the topic.
"Aside from that. When I touched you, I realized that... you are my mate," Fabio stated firmly and showed his pearly white teeth.
"What!?" Felissa stood up in shock since she didn’t expect that to co from Fabio.
"I know this may sound bad after our first eting, but I can feel the tingles you give on my spine. The spark ignited between us!" Fabio added and raised his voice. He lifted his hand before Felissa as an offering.
"I think you’re mistaken. I don’t feel anything—"Felissa couldn’t continue her words when Fabio spoke again. Even though she wasn’t finished yet.
"I know this is sudden, but we only have three days to set things out. I don’t want to waste ti and let you leave ," Fabio exclaid firmly to show his sentints.
But Felissa felt there was so aning behind his words, but she couldn’t point out what it was.
"I... We need to check this with the Queen," Felissa replied with a smile, trying not to make this worst on her part.
"Don’t you trust ?" Fabio replied, and his smile vanished, replaced with hurt.
"It’s the rules! Haha!" Felissa voiced loudly and laughed it off, but she indeed didn’t trust Fabio and his sches.
After all, Felissa noticed Fabio beca nice to her after knowing her identity as a noble without a sibling.
"Alright. Then let’s et with the Queen after three days. For now, I want to get to know you more and use our ti together, to create good mories," Fabio clasped his hand in delight and stood up, dusting his pants.
"O-okay," Felissa replied and curtsied. She watched Fabio’s form walking away from her without saying goodbye. "That’s weird. He said I am his mate but left here alone," she gasped in disbelief.
"And you believe him?" a voice asked in curiosity.
"Sir Vicenzo!" Felissa exclaid in shock after seeing whom the voice belonged to.
"Hmm," Vicenzo humd and stared at Felissa’s eyes without blinking, which made her eyes hurt from trying to keep up with him.
"I don’t know. I’ll wait if the Queen says that Lord Fabio is my mate," Felissa replied. She could feel her heart beating so loud and as if the air was getting out of her body.
"Are you alright?" Vicenzo asked when he saw how Felissa turned pale.
"Ah, yes. I’m just tired," Felissa replied and curtsied to end their conversation. She began running away as fast as possible since she didn’t want Vicenzo to hear her heartbeat.
"Why am I feeling this way? I should be glad that I found my mate! But why am I unhappy?" Felissa exclaid while running away. She didn’t understand herself and how she felt every ti Vicenzo was nearby.
Felissa also noticed how her wolf was wagging its tail when Vicenzo talked to them.
"Alright, Felissa. Calm down, and don’t think about Vicenzo," Felissa whispered and patted her face to help her wake up in reality.
"Are you thinking of ?" a voice replied behind Felissa, which made her flinch in surprise.
Vicenzo was standing tall in his cold gaze. He looked at Felissa with an emotionless facial expression as if she was so tiny.
"Why are you following !? And no! I’m not thinking of you!" Felissa shouted and pointed her finger toward Vicenzo, who only rolled his eyes.
Vicenzo stepped forward and sniffed Felissa’s scent. "Vanilla," he muttered before leaning back.
"What?" Felissa furrowed her eyebrows, but before her brain could process everything.
Vicenzo put Felissa’s shoes into her finger that pointed at him. "You left it behind. I’m amazed you don’t notice that you have no shoe on while running," he added with a puff.
Felissa’s eyes widened, and she lifted her skirt to see she was missing a shoe.
"Ha ha ha! Thank you for bringing back my shoe. I appreciate it," Felissa slowly dropped the shoe and wore it. "Then goodnight, Sir Vicenzo. I’ll take a rest now," she added before turning around.
"Good night," Vicenzo replied and left the area.
While running, Felissa’s smile urged her lips to split in half. She felt butterflies in her chest after talking to Vicenzo for a few minutes.
"Ah! I’m going crazy! I should ask Rosina about her opinion," Felissa muttered to herself and entered the building, walking straight to her room.
Before Felissa could close the door, she heard a couple of gossip from the she-wolves walking together.
"Hey, did you hear? Lord Fabio is finding a suitable wife in here!" a she-wolf whispered with a giggle.
