Chapter 416 Shadows Of The Past

• Harper and Stella both turned around to look at the woman who was asking them. She had fair and delicate features, giving off an impression of fragility that easily triggered a man’s protective instincts. Stella didn’t know her, but Harper recognized her at first glance. She was Preston’s first love who he was hugging in the social media photo.
• Harper was taken aback when Preston brought his first love to the mating ceremony. It seemed like he was acknowledging her identity and introducing her to his pack. Her gaze shifted towards the man sitting on the stage. The corners of her lips, which had been drooping, slowly lifted, and a sense of relief appeared on her face, accompanied by a smile. led to be saying: This is also good, at least he has put aside his playful thoughts and started dating with the purpose of mating. Although the person he wanted to mate, the person he wanted to take as his she-wolf, is not her Harper didn’t respond, and Stella spoke up, “We’re friends of the bride. Preston is just someone we happen to know as a groomsman.” The girl, upon hearing this, finally let her guard down and looked at the two of them with a friendly smile. “I’m Preston’s girlfriend, Elsie.” Stella was stunned for a few seconds and instinctively glanced at Harper beside her. However, she calmly nodded toward Elsie without showing any expression on her face, “Elsie, nice to meet you.” She greeted them and then turned her head,occasionally glancing at Harper from the corner of her eye.
• When she saw that there was no significant emotional change on her face with delicate makeup, she breathed a sigh of relief. Preston and Harper’s relationship should be in the past tense by now. After the mating ceremony is over, Harper will also have to choose a partner at the dance. The mating ceremony in the castle was coming to an end after several Irish priests sincerely gave their blessings. Taya was holding a bouquet of flowers, standing on the lawn with unmated men and women behind her. She threw the bouquet behind her. Before throwing, she took a glance at Harper and Stella’s positions. So without much thought, she threw directly towards the two of them. Originally, Harper was holding the bouquet, but unexpectedly Elsie pushed her hand and the bouquet flew to the side, right in the direction of Edith. Edith quickly glanced at Elsie, who was holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and immediately jumped up to throw the bouquet toward Harper once again. Quick-witted Stella blocked Elsie who was trying to grab the bouquet again – With Stella’s block, the bouquet of flowers fell into Harper’s hands. Harper, who was holding the bouquet, felt a bit embarra*sed and handed the flowers to Elsie, saying, “Here you go, I don’t really need them…” Before Elsie could say anything, Edith walked over and said, “She just handed me the bouquet, trying to please me. Ms. Duke, you don’t have to pay attention to her…” Elsie, who was caught by Edith’s probing, blushed and explained in a soft voice with her head down, “That’s not what I meant, I just thought…” The conversation wasn’t finished yet, but Edith turned around and walked away. The other members of the Knight pack who were planning to grab the bouquet also looked down on her and gave her a disdainful glance. Elsie’s face became even more unpleasant, but she still maintained a smile in front of Harper and Stella. “Sorry, it wasn’t intentional.” She finished speaking, turned around, and ran towards the direction where Preston was, with small steps. Harper saw Elsie holding onto his arm, acting a bit coquettish, and then Preston walked towards her. Preston, who exuded an air of nobility from head to toe, stood in front of her and suddenly reached out his hand towards her. “Ms. Duke, can you provide me with a bouquet of flowers for my girlfriend to hold?” Upon hearing this sentence, Harper looked at Elsie in surprise.
