The Betrayed Princess Rising (Lylah and Ezra) novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160

3rd Person’s POV

Evening settled over Lunaris in a wash of amber light when Lylah and Iris finally reached the restaurant ris had been talking about all afternoon. A line of wolves stretched far beyond the entrance, curling along he lantern–lit path like a silent procession.

-ylah slowed.

Her gaze drifted across the waiting crowd and the faint rumble of engines from the expensive vehicles >arked across the lawn. Luxury cars. Dozens of them. Influential wolves in Lunaris, without a doubt.

A flicker of unease stirred inside her.

The last time they had eaten at Victor’s restaurant, things had turned unpleasant rather quickly. But the vorry wasn’t for herself.

t was for Iris.

What if another insolent worker decided to treat them the same way?

Her eyes slid to Iris, but the girl seemed completely unbothered, humming softly as she stared at the >uilding ahead.

That alone eased Lylah’s tension a little.

Iris,” Lylah asked quietly, glancing at the long line, “why are all these people waiting outside?”

ris followed her gaze and shrugged.

I guess we have to wait too. The place is small, so they only let people in a few at a time.”

Lylah frowned.

‘Seriously? That line is ridiculously long. What’s so special about this place that wolves are willing to wait ike this just to eat?”

The food is incredible, apparently. But the prices are ridiculously low. Everyone says it feels less like a business and more like a charity.” Iris grinned. “Like some ridiculously rich Alpha got bored one day and impulsively decided to open a restaurant.”

She paused, then added with amusement,

“Isaac said Victor nearly lost his mind when he heard about it.”

Lylah chuckled under her breath.

They had just settled into the line when someone brushed past them.

The woman slipped directly in front of them as if the rest of the waiting customers didn’t exist. Raven- dark hair spilled down her back, and her crimson lipstick was sharp enough to look like a warning.

Soren.
