NovelEnglishChapter 0137 Chapter 0137 +25 BONUS We arrived at the concert later than I had expected, but I had never experienced VIP access before and wasn't quite sure what to anticipate. Instead of waiting in the long line that snaked around the building, we entered through a side door. Once inside, we ascended a set of stairs that led us to a balcony overlooking the stage. The venue wasn't a huge arena; it was a regular theater, which relieved me. Although I knew people would notice us and there would be scommotion, it was comforting to realize we weren't surrounded by thousands of fans -just a few hundred on the floor below.
Still, as we settled into our seats in the balcony, a wave of nerves washed over me, and Alexander must have sensed my unease.
"You've been quiet tonight," he said, his voice low and observant.

"I'm fine," I assured him. "I just can't stop thinking about " "Your traitor," he finished for me, as I let my sentence trail off.
"That's right," I replied with a slight sigh. "I can't figure out the best way to draw them out. I have to identify who it is, but I don't know how." "Why don't you ask your father for help?" Alexander suggested. "He's the alpha; it's his responsibility to deal with this. Yet you're hiding the situation from him. I don't understand why." I stared at him, grappling for an explanation, but none came. Alexander was right; it was my father's responsibility as alpha to confront the traitor in our midst. I couldn't see a solid reason for not sharing my suspicions, especially considering David's confession about poisoningand Alexander's discovery that my medication had been tampered with.
Still, I hesitated to approach my father. I worried he might not believeor that it could endanger him further. David had already proven he would stop at nothing to get his way, and if he perceived my father as an obstacle, he would try to eliminate him. It felt safer to handle it myself, but I wasn't sure I could.
I could have voiced all of this, but the words stuck in my throat. I stared at Alexander, wide-eyed, my mouth slightly parted, as I struggled to speak.
Before 1 could find my voice, the sound of a loud guitar drowned out my thoughts. Instantly, I was on my feet, stepping to the balcony railing to look down at the band thas had taken the stage.
It wasn't the headlining group, but the opening act. They were loud and abrasive, and not very good, but I was grateful to them for interrupting the conversation.
I knew what Alexander wanted to ask next; he could tell I was hiding something, and he wanted to know what. On slevel, I felt he deserved to know. After all, I had dragged him so deeply into this mess.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut I couldn't tell him everything that had happened in my original timeline. I couldn't reveal that this was tuy second chance. Even if he believed me, it wouldn't change anything; it would only complicate the situation for him. So what was the point of saying it? No, it was better if kept it to myself.
Alexander didn't try to be heard over the blaring music; instead, he joinedby the railing, glancing down at the stage with obvious disinterest, likely due to how bad the music was. I did my best to pretend I was enjoying it, though I could sense he wasn't convinced.

Fortunately, the opening act didn't last long. Soon, the headlining band took the stage, and the atmosphere shiffed.
The music wasn't the type I usually listened to, but it was surprisingly catchy and upbeat. found myself dancing along, easily losing myself in the rhythm.
