Chapter Five

*****

I went upstairs to change out of the torn dress with the intention of having my petty revenge. I drop my luggage on my bed, searching through my clothes for the perfect dress to wear.

"Yes," I exclaimed as soon as I saw it. The perfect sexy black dress. The sexy dress is designed to captivate and flatter my figure while exuding elegance and allure. It hugs my curves in all the right places, crafted from a luxurious fabric of silk, it shimmers against the night light. I could kiss Amanda right now for this.

The dress have a daring plunging neckline, that adds a touch of boldness and recklessness. While the delicate lace ran along the sides and create an enticing glimpse of my soft breasts, without being too revealing. A thigh high slit run along one side, allowing for a playful flash of my full legs with every step I take. A bold move, but Alpha King Damien called for it. I was going to ignore him throughout the dinner. Feign lack of interest in his affairs.

"Watch out, Alpha Damien," I say calmly to myself and descended back to the dinner hall. I entered the hall with my signature smile. My dress gracefully sways with each movement, drawing the attention and admiration of the occupants in the dinner table. Maya's eyes was filled with envy and jealousy. Ire's was filled with awe. Adraina's was of scorn. Leah's face was motionless, I don't know if I got her but yeah take that bitch. I got more ace up my sleeves. I'm going to beat her at her game. After all I was born a princess. I carry royalty in my blood, not a faking bitch like her.

I turned to Alpha King Damien, shit... I forgot my stand to ignore him. I caught him staring at me with an intense desire on his face. Wanting. I gnored him, taking my seat close to Ire. I'm glad my entrance got the deserve reactions I was looking for.

"Your dress is fucking beautiful. Sorry about the fight earlier but you look gorgeous in this dress," Ire gushed like we were sisters. She seems genuine in liking my dress.

"Thank you," I smiled at her. It was refreshing to see someone genuine in here.

"Can we eat now? Since she finally decide to grace us with her presence, fucking tired of waiting," drawled Adriana. She looked at me like I was her only rival here.

Yeah I was right, Ire was the only kind one among the contestants.

Alpha King Damien cleared his throat to stop the upcoming backlash. Five women vying for one man is bound for wars and choas. He's going to have a hard time putting us in order, because some contestants want to already tear me into pieces.

"Alright, my ladies. I want to formally welcome you all to the moonshine palace. This would be your home as long as you're qualify for the contest."

"Maya and Freya, you broke the house rule about fighting. I will be very lenient with both of you. Any repeat of fighting would automatically disqualify the persons involved." I rolled my eyes at this. Maya looked like she wants to cry. I guess the thought of being disqualified in the contest is enough to irk her.

"So I want you all to enjoy tonight's dinner. If you have any questions, you could send me a message. The servants would distribute a designated iPads for each one of you. It's strictly for sending messages and I will do well to respond to you swiftly. Now let's eat."

I delved into my plate of roasted turkey, baked potato, tomato sauce and a glass of apple juice with abandon. Gosh... I moaned, forgetting my occupants in the table.

"Freya, you may want to tone down your ecstasy. It's just food," piqued the glamorous Leah. I shot her a look that says, 'I don't fucking care.' And besides it was affecting the Alpha King Damien the way I wanted. His eyes were dark with primal lust. Maybe Leah was protecting her interest. Her lover, from desiring me.

"I can't help it, Leah. The food is just delicious," I told her. Of course none of them knew I was locked up in Blackway prison and starved of delicacies like this for years.

"It's just roasted turkey and potatoes, there's nothing special about them," she went on.

"Oops, my bad. It's just that I have a very sensitive taste buds, Leah," I blink my eyelashes at her feigning a sophisticated air. Leah sighed exasperatedly and focus on her food. My inner girl did a jubilation dance. Freya 1...Leah 0. Take that bitch.

"What part of town do you come from?" Ire asked me. I froze momentarily. Even if the question was harmless I was immediately on my guard. Taking a deep breath, I told her what Amanda had made me practice.

"I come from the Northern side of Moonshine pack. It's a very small town." It was entirely different from my original background. I'm sure if my rivals get a tip of information that I'm the late tyrant Alpha King's daughter, they would gladly let my blood soak into the ground.

"That's nice, I'm from this part of the South. I've always wanted to see the palace, Alpha King Damien is such a handsome man," Ire blushed hopelessly. Of course only Alpha King Damien would ignite this kind of reaction to the kind Ire.

"What activities are you taking tomorrow?" Ire continued, shutting off the other occupants from our conversation. I am beginning to like Ire. She would be such a good friend among my rivals in the palace.

"I don't know," I murmured, biting the soft turkey wings. It melted in my mouth and I let out another moan.

Ire chuckled.

"You can come with me to the dance class," Ire said excitedly.

"You dance?" I asked her almost choking. It was a surprise that the Alpha King Damien has a dance class in his palace. But of course I had gone too blank on how the world works. What kind of social activities I would enjoy. I barely know how things are done around here. It's been ages since my last dance practice. Ire offering me what seems like friendship was the best thing that has happened to me since I came out of prison.

"Yes, I'm a professional dancer. So you would come to the dance class?"

"Yes," I smiled genuinely at her.

"You will love it." Ire clapped both her hands excitedly, scoring a look from Alpha King Damien and the others. Alpha King Damien's eyes shot to mine but I ignored him. I see him make small talks with Leah and my stomach tightened with what I know is jealousy. It's a primal instinct, cause by the fact that Alpha King Damien is my mate.
