135 Chapter 134: Awkward gathering

"Hey! You're here!" He exclaimed, folding her into a tight hug. 

"Yes!" Elize said excitedly, breaking away from the hug. 

Sean beamed at her and was about to say something when he noticed the people behind her. Stepping forward, he asked curiously, "Ohh are these your friends?"

Elize nodded. "Yeah. Agatha and Legolas are my best friends." She said, turning towards them. 

The two were standing awkwardly with each other. Agatha was looking around nervously, while Legolas kept sneaking glances at her. 

Elize cleared her throat, trying to grab their attention. "Guys, this is Sean." She said, patting Sean's arm.

Agatha smiled politely. She extended her hand towards him and said, "Hey S-"

Legolas quickly interrupted, squatting her hand away before it could meet Sean's. He grabbed his extended hands and shook it firmly.

"Hello Sean, I'm Legolas."

Elize chuckled at the obvious show of jealousy, although Sean was no threat to their relationship. The young wolf reciprocated the handshake excitedly. 

"You're the young Duke!" he exclaimed. "I almost didn't recognize you in casuals."

Legolas laughed awkwardly at the acknowledgment, while Agatha stared at him with her mouth wide open. Elize turned to her classmate, who looked overjoyed at meeting royalty. Maybe she should take this opportunity to leave the two behind with Sean. it could lead to some advantageous developments. But before that, she had to find the birthday boy and give him the gift that she had brought for him, Elize thought looking down at the box in her hand.

"Where's Sam?" She asked, looking around. 

Sean shrugged, finally letting go of Legolas's hand. He pointed towards one end of the room, which was closed off by painted screens. "He is probably hiding in the cubicle. I've never seen Sam this nervous." He said with an amused expression. 

"Haha." Elize laughed at the comment. "Fine, I guess I'll have to find him myself." She said, quickly walking towards the place.

"Hey there," Elize said, tapping on his shoulder.

"Ohh, hey..." Sam said, quickly getting up from his seat. There was a look of surprise on his face. "You came."

"Of course, why wouldn't I? Happy birthday." She said, extending the box towards him. "Here's a little something for you."

Sam took the box from her with shaking hands. "Thanks...I guess." He said nervously.

Suddenly a girl popped up from behind him. She looked quite young to be in a club at all, in that she looked to be around at least fifteen years of age and no more. Her features were quite similar to Sam's and it was obvious that they were related to each other. 

"Is this her?" The girl asked, looking Elize up and down. 

Sam quickly glared at the girl. Turning to Elize apologetically, he said, "Ahh Elize, this is my younger sister Skye."

"Hey Skye, I'm Elize," Elize said, smiling politely at the girl.

"I know, I've heard a lot about you from my brother," Skye said, beaming at her. She quickly came over to where she stood and took Elize's hands in her and looked up at her face with adoration. 

"Ohhh?" Elize asked, looking at Sam and his sister in confusion.

Why does it feel awkward all of a sudden? She thought to herself, not understanding what to say or do to the girl, regarding her with much awe. Her brown eyes sparkled as she looked into her gray ones. 

"Stop it, Skye," Sam said, dragging his little sister back by her collar. "I'm sorry Elize, my sister can be a bit too talkative." He said, apologetically. 

"That's fine," Elize said, with a tight smile. Looking around she understood that she didn't know many of the people around them, all of whom were staring at her appreciatively. "Did your other pack members also come?" She asked, raising her brows. 

Sam nodded. "Yeah. Some of them came." He replied, looking at her warily. 

Skye was struggling in his arms, scratching at his hands, trying to reach out to Elize desperately. What exactly did she land herself into this time? She thought nervously.

"That's good to know. It's always good to have family around." She said, not knowing what else to say. 

"You can consider us like your family," Skye shouted, smiling mischievously at her. 

"Huh?" Elize asked, surprised at the comment. 

"Skye!" Sam shouted, quickly covering his sister's mouth with his hand. He turned to look at Elize nervously.
