THE PERFECT ICE BREAKER
"It gladdens my heart to see Enid this happy!" I forced a smile and let the emotions clog my throat.
The emotion everyone misinterpreted as care. Enid and I have been friends since fifth grade, and that friendship had thrived in a way that a very lonely part of me had prayed it would turn to love.
I had prayed on everything I held sacred that Enid would be mine, but the Goddess was as deaf as a rock when it came to this one request.
My dreams all failed when Ximena walked down the aisle to the love of my life. And she was going to pay for it. Every second she breathed, I was ready to make it tormenting until she eventually let go of her reins on Enid.
Enid would have chosen me if she had not reappeared. I would have been the Luna of Moonlight Pack, soon-to-be Queen of Selenia. But Ximena chose to steal that lifelong dream from me.
A server appeared in a black blazer, an arm arched behind him, stretching the gold tray our way.
I picked out two champagne flutes, handing one to the girl before me, and nursed one.
