004 - I AM ALPHA FENRIZ

I tugged at the shiny blue dress I had on for like the millionth time as I stood at the entrance of the hotel with Jax waiting for God knows what.

I have no idea how on earth Jax had managed to persuade me into coming here with him considering everything that had happened in the past few hours.

I really should do a better job at being mad.

I sighed and tugged at the dress again, shifting on my feet uncomfortably.

It was really absurd everytime u think about my life as it is now - which was almost every second - so absurd that I'd have laughed if I wasn't the victim of the whole craziness.

First I get rejected.

Then I have sex with my gay best friend.

Then I find out he's not gay, but a spy from another pack. Then he goes ahead to tell me he loves me and proposes to me.

Madness. Total madness, honestly.

Dear goddess, what next? What would come out next to mock me and the joke I've obviously become to the universe?

“No matter how hard you tug, the dress won't get lower than that” Jax said with a slight chuckle and I glared at him.

Of course I knew that, but I was uncomfortable as hell in the dress. I have no idea where he had dug it out from. The dress barely looked presentable with how low it's back hung and how high it's slit went.

If I stand carelessly, my barely covered hoo will be flashed to everyone in sight.

“Stop fidgeting Selene. You look very hot.”

“I should be going home. I should not have followed you out here to begin with.”

He shook his head and smiled as if everything was perfectly fine between us.

“I need to be at this party and I do not have a date. Besides, this is extremely important because I have something I'd love to show you.”

“What's this party for anyway?” The hotel has to be one of the biggest hotels in the city. Whatever was going on in here has to be for the top classes.

“Your Alpha is hosting a private banquet for Alpha Fenriz of Bluemoon,” Jax explained and glanced at his wash, “who will be visiting today for some partnership deal, and alliance treaty.”

“How do you know this? And if it's a private banquet, how did you get an invite?”

Jax shrugged and grinned, “I know someone who knows someone. You will soon see honey. Just relax.”

“You are crazy,” I shook my head, “and I'm crazier for entertaining you.”

He chuckled slightly and I looked at him. Really looked at him as his words rolled through my mind again.

Did he really mean any of that?

That he loved me?

And what did he mean by ‘getting a higher status' and marrying him? What has one got to do with the other?

“Why are we still standing out here?” I was starting to grow slightly frustrated.

“It's just….”

“Selene?”

I froze, instantly recognising the voice.

Roy.

I shouldn't be so surprised that I ran into him here. He's the Alpha's son after all.

I saw the rage that flashed into Jax's eyes before I turned and winced when I saw Roy with another lady in his arms.

His new wife.

“Fancy meeting you here,” he said haughtily, looking me from head to toe.

“Question is, how on earth did she get invited?” Shayla chimed in, “are low rags now allowed into private banquets as this?”

She chuckled and I said nothing.

“She couldn't have gotten an invite. Must be here to seek some sort of attention. Will see you later, Selene.”

My eyes burned in embarrassment as they walked past me.

“Selene…”

“I want to go home. Now!”

Jax grabbed my arm, halting from me moving, “listen to me Selene. You should not let their words get to you that much. Listen - I promise you this, soon you will have so much power, so much that no one would dare to bully you or walk all over you every again!”

What was he talking about?

“Whatever.”

“Come on. Let's go inside.”

I followed him in.

Surprisingly the guard at the entrance didn't ask for an invite. He just let him in and I followed him into the hotel hall.

I was about to drop my jaw in admiration for the hall, when Roy and Shayla approached us again.

“They don't rest, do they? The level of low self confidence.”

Jax murmured under his breath and I giggled.

“You two got in? I'm almost insulted!” Shayla snapped.

“I'll need to question that fucking guard. The banquet is a private one meant for the high class and you two are just nothing.”

Since when did Roy become this cruel and unreasonable? Since when did he become a bully, and so obsessed with status and class?

“You two should not be here. I don't care how you got in but I'll have you kicked out immediately.”

“Oh please. What's the big deal about the party anyway?”

Roy's eyes widened.

“This banquet is being held for Alpha Fenriz of the blue moon so yeah, it's a big deal for us. Something that I do not expect you understand - but Blue moon is the biggest, most developed and richest pack in the world. His presence alone is a huge honour for us.”

Well, that makes absolute sense.

“And you two are just staining the surroundings.” Shayla chimed in and Jax's chuckle was calm and low.

“Are we?”

Before Roy could respond, an elderly man in a suit approached us with a grin.

“Ah! Stones! I have been looking for you.” Roy greeted the man's back, “please do you have any idea when Alpha Fenriz will be here?”

The man raised his brow, looking genuinely confused, “what do you mean? He's here already.”

Roy looked around his eyes wide, “really? How come no one informed me?”

The old man was still confused as he responded, “j thought you two already met.” Then he turned to Jax, “forgive me Alpha Fenriz. I would have sent my men to fetch you if I knew you were already here.”

“What?!” Roy's shocked scream perfectly mirrored my own shock and how I would have reacted.

I stared at Jax, eyes wide.

“I'm Fenriz, Alpha of Blue moons.” Jax greeted Roy with a grin, “And Selene here…is my fiancé. Now, for your insolence, I'll let her decide your fate.”

Surely my ears were deceiving me.

I couldn't move because my feet were still glued to the floor.

Jax turned to me, his smile still in place.

“How would you love these two idiots to be punished?”
