NovelUpdateChapter 0047 +25 BONUS Once all of the alphas and lunas had left the wedding, all that remained were young, drunk people ready to cut loose and party. The bar was still busy, although I was told that sof the alcohol had begun to run out and they would have to announce last call soon.
It was already nearing 11:00 p.m. at that point, and I thought it was a good tto start closing things down. I didn't want Amanda or David to fear getting caught, so making it seem like the party was beginning to fizzle out seemed like a good plan.
I'd had a couple more glasses of wine since my conversation with Elizabeth-we had even shared one together. It felt odd toto be spending twith the alpha king's daughter like this.
I found myself truly enjoying my twith her and hoping that when this wedding business was all behind us, I would get an opportunity to see her again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWe'd never gotten to know each other in the original timeline, but I hoped that this taround, the two of us could be friends. It seemed that we had a lot in common.
It also madefeel better to know that I was still capable of making friends. For all of my life, Amanda had been the only person that I was really close to, aside from David I was so focused on getting my revenge and preventing the terrible outcthat had happened in my previous life that I hadn't spent much tthinking about my future until now.
I didn't have to be alone all the time. There was no reason couldn't make new friendships and be close to others. Of course, I knew it would be hard to trust again the way I had trusted Amanda and David, but I wanted to try. I wanted to try to trust Alexander.
Maybe it was the wine that was makingfeel this way, but thinking about how supportive and fair Alexander had been throughout our deal madealmost giddy. I had no doubt that I could help him becthe king, and had very little doubt that he would be a good king.
He had proven himself already to be a good leader despite his slight personality flaws, such as his habit of engaging in casual relationships with women.
In comparison to what I knew David had planned, Alexander's flaws were hardly worth thinking about.
"Ella," David said loudly, interrupting my thoughts. "You're completely zoned out. Are you okay?" "I "I'm not zoned out," I argued.
"Then what did I just say to you?" he asked.
I stared at him, trying to remember, but I honestly hadn't heard him say anything. Was he messing with me, or did I really zone out so hard while thinking of Alexander that I hadn't even noticed David's voice? "That's what I thought," he said triumphantly. "You're completely out of it. You must be more drunk than yout seem.
"I have had a lot of wine,"1 admitted, "but I don't think I'm that drunk.' "Should we test it?" David asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Test it how?" I replied, confused by what he meant.
use if you can stand on one foot," he instructed. "If you wobble or fall, it will mean that you're too drunk and should call it a night." 1/2 Chapter 0047 +15 BONUS
"I'm not going to do that," I said in shock. "What if I fall in front of alm these people?/I can't embarrass myself that way." "Don't worry," David said with a smile. "I'll catch you."
I didn't really want to play along with him, but the timing was right. Just like in the original timeline, Davian would sendup to bed, and then, once he was sure I was passed out drunk, he would sneak off to see Amanda. It had to happen this way, so there was no point infighting it. "Promise you won't letfall?" I asked.
"Yes, I promise," he replied. "Now, see if you can stand on one leg."
Hesitantly, I lifted one of my feet high off the ground. For a momentim balanced easily, then began to wobble in an exaggerated fashion.
