It was an exclusive party but according to Karima, who seemed to know almost everything about Greenville resort, even beyond the normal team lead duties now, I had to be wearing a party dress too and not the uniform."A party dress? But I am going there to work." I objected, not welcoming the idea of wearing something flashy and pretty for the event. "That's the requirements, Milady." She insisted and I sighed. "But I don't even have a dress." I tried to leverage on that until she called Kai in.He walked in with a cloth hanger that had about three dresses hung on it. I furrowed my brows immediately, feeling stunned. "You told him...to go get me a dress? That's... surprising." I could not find the perfect word to use."It took a whole lot of persuasion before he agreed to go. He never wants to leave your side." Madison, who had been quiet all the while chipped in. They decided to have me wear the Emerald green dress amongst others and then Madison styled my hair. She was almost go
I closed my eyes for half a second there and opened them again to be sure I was seeing the right person. It was him, and he was staring back at me, as if saying "Got you by surprise?"That dude was sitting right there in a black tux.There was this grumpy look he had on, and it also looked like he was enjoying the sight. "Mira." I heard Karima whisper from where she was, watching me. Immediately, I got jolted out of my thoughts and then I took my eyes off him."Once again, you are welcome, all." I said, forcing a very broad smile. "I am Mira, your host's representative for today." I continued as I analyzed every seat with my eyes, then I noticed one of them was empty. Who was it again this time?Just when I was thinking that, Travis walked into the room. My eyes beamed when I saw him, he smiled when he saw me too and I just nodded gently. It was so good to see him there. "So the first thing on agenda is the introduction of every guest here." I announced and as I did the reading o
The dots started to connect by default, as I traced down the bloodlines. Even though my memory about my initial self was getting vague already, I could remember the man that would never cease to bring out laughter out of my father asides my mother and me.They were best of friends. Mr. Callum had actually refused to take over his father's throne at their pack, but rather went fully into the business world, leaving the throne to his younger sibling. So, Travis was his son.. hm. "You seem like you know him." He pointed out and my body jerked a Little. "Of course, I do, very well at that.""Oh well, that's very much expected but i was acting on his orders to being you here."...So the whole Greenville thing was not a coincidence but an orchestration? I thought as I headed towards the elevator, so I could join Karima and the rest on the ground floor. I had just left Travis's office.I pressed the button gently and waited patiently for the elevator doors to open as I got lost in thoug
The drive back home was very quiet. And again I had questions just brewing in my mind without answers, I did not plan to keep them to myself for any longer though. Getting to the apartment, we noticed all lights were turned off. "Turn on the lights please." I said, referring to Karima because we were still outside. I did not hear anything from her and there was no result, as lightening. "Karima, please--" I suddenly heard the switch sound and the lights were on the next split second.The sight I saw was so terrifying! "Karima!" I yelled out of fear, seeing her wimping on the floor. I bent down and tried to examine her, wondering what could have happened to her within that short moment we had just entered. Then it came to my mind, then who switched on the lights? Without thinking any further, I knew there was someone in that apartment. As I walked in further, I started to perceive that familiar cologne. *He is here.* My ears stretched at the realization and before I could say 'J
It was a total mess in my apartment that night. I literally felt like I was going to die because it was already late, and after working for hours I could not even get rest and had to get into a combat with a blood-hungry mysterious guy.Apparently, Kai was delayed downstairs by some unforseen occurrences. He got tricked by some super intelligent informants about his family and that had him on the hook. When he found out it was all an orchestrated prank to delay him, it was already too late as I had already had it out with Jordan to some extent.But the issue there was the fact that we did not know who tried to stop him back there. Jordan was not the type to pull that kind of thing and I was pretty sure we all could attest to it. Karima and Madison were beings attended to medically. Kai had called a wolf doctor that was trusted and he came over to Karima's apartment where we all relocated to. "Let him attend to you first." The divine sisters insisted but I was more stubborn. "You ar
A week has passed since the incident, I got days off work to rest and tend to myself very well. We had left Jordan to the old lady Annatoria, one of the wisest priestesses in the wolf world. Though aged, she lived in a body of a lady in her twenties, very young but powerful.I insisted on going with them to her place, since Jordan had been put asleep with some strange potion that Madison knew about. She seemed to know a lot about him, any way.I was expecting a small hut filled with smoke from concoctions and sacred furnishings, but rather, we drove towards a mansion at the outskirts of Beatle City. A fucking mansion!After getting through some guards, we got into the main building where Annatoria was waiting. We had no idea she would be waiting but she was, actually.As soon as I walked in, she bowed at ninety degrees immediately. "You are welcome to my humble abode." She said warmly, in an honouring manner.I was confused and lost, I turned to Karims and Madison swiftly with a quest
"I will do it.""Milady!" Karima and Madison yelled at the same time. They were probably not expecting me to make a decision right away. I expected that much from Karima but from Madison, it was least expected."We can't leave him that way. It started with me anyway, so it had to end with me." I concluded assertively, not giving them the chance to speak. I turned to Annatoria immediately, she was the one I had business with so I was just going to focus on her.Annatoria heeded to me instead and she led me up to the third floor, where the Celestia room was. Karima and Madison just had to stay back. I would be lying big time if I had said I did not feel unsure of myself at some point in time.The 'what ifs' in my mind almost overwhelmed me but I succeeded in taking over. Before we went to the Celestia room, Annatoria had some of the ladies around who I guessed to be her domestic workers, she had them take me into a changing room.They helped take off my clothes and had me change into a
"Wake up, Mira!" I heard a voice yell faintly. "We have to wake her!" Another shouted.The voices became clearer eventually and I felt a sharp pain pierce through me as I tried to open my eyes. I had to keep it closed for a while, and ppp then I opened them again.Taking a bit of time to scan around for where I was, I just knew we were still at Annatoria's place. They were all standing around me, Karima, Maddie, Kai, the priestess and her people.They had me sit up on the bed, leaning my back against the headboard. I felt like I had just gotten called back from death, I was still in that regalia I wore earlier.Someone brought me a glass of water and I drank it, then felt relieved."Did it work? How's he now?" I raised my brows, asking about Jordan first.None of them gave me an answer. My heart started beat so fast, it did not work? Had Jordan gone beserk already?"Someone say something!" I blurted out."Actually, we... succeeded in touching his core, it's all thanks to you, Lady Kie
I had gotten the key to one of our numerous cars from the valet, then I headed to Forever Penthouse. It was quite far away from the house so it took me a while before I eventually got there.I so much had this assurance in the vision I had about the location he was but when I got to the entrance of the penthouse, doubt crept into my heart. What if I did not meet him there? What would be my fate then?I decided to push through with it since I was there already. I walked into the lobby and looked around, it was exactly the same thing I saw in that vision then I walked up to the receptionists to request access to the penthouse but I was denied it."Why? I just said it's so urgent that I really need to see the person now." I hammered on my words again but all the lady I spoke to did was to give me this pitiful expression, accompanying it with a 'sorry'.A simple apology would not cut it, right? What should be my fate then? Go back to the pack house without Jordan after knowing fully well
My father was lying in the sick bed for days, still recovering. His treatments were made confidential while none of the council of elders knew about it. My mother and Beta Harold the third, my father's close friend and subordinate, were insistent on it. Apparently, that was what my father had instructed.That morning, I was just getting out of bed and trying to get myself together. It was one out of the few days of waking up feeling guilty and sorrowful. I was feeling quite better that morning but not fully.Then I got out of bed and headed into the washroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. Skincare? I totally lost interest in them all. The moment I stepped out, my mother barged in gently and to some extent, I was startled."Mum! What's the issue?" I asked as I removed the face towel that I had hung around my neck. "Morning to you too, daughter." She replied hurriedly as she closed the door and came to where I was standing. From the look of it, she was quite troubled."What happ
I trailed down my memory to the time I met Karima and then, Jordan. My heart skipped a beat again. This feeling was not a natural one and something needed to be done about it. Of all things, I did not think I was ready to love anyone or give them my all.All of a sudden, I felt something cold drop on my arm. "Hm?" I checked my arm to see that it was water then I lifted my eyes up to the skies. Despite the fact that it was dark already, I could still see the dark clouds. Following me knowing what a thunder sound is, a big sign that it was going to rain soon.What to do now? I left home without any survival plans, and I was very far from home already. Rain started to fall in no time and I ran somewhere into a shade, a relaxation shade that was dedicated to the estate residents. I was still within the pack, actually but the human race was mixed with us in this part of the pack. But it was quite far from the Royal pack house.I stood here for a while but the rain got heavier. It was so
The moment I saw that name, my heart skipped a bit. He was invited? That asshole who almost ruined my life was invited to my own welcome party in my own pack? I looked up, summoning courage. I was under my father's covering so there was nothing he could do.I looked in the direction where those Alphas were seated so I could spot him and I did. Our eyes literally met. 'Nice one.' I said in my head. What was he thinking of when he got the invite? Maybe he did not know it was me?Or probably his assistant did not give him the full details? Well he had no idea my father was the Alpha of the Silver Claw pack but he knew I was from there, despite that this dude had the audacity to even come down to this pack?I was so pissed off and then I heard murmurs rising amongst the crowd. Immediately, I let go of whatever i was feeling at that moment and just wanted to stick to why I was on the podium with my welcoming speech."Alpha Adrien...I celebrate you for coming here today." I decided to sa
A few days had passed again and I was yet to get in touch with Jordan since that day at annatoria. Everything that had happened with us both kept emerging in my head during my idle times. The day for the welcome party my parents planned for me had arrive already. All pack members within the territory were to attend, some people from other countries would be attending as well.According to Maddie, my father also sent out a few invites to some Alphas from other packs which made my frown on the idea after knowing what that means."They are all young Alphas but I don't have their full details." Madison said."It's not what I am thinking, is it?" I let out trying to doubt what was going through my head. "How..could I possibly know what you are..thinking mylady?""Is he not trying to look for an Alpha suitor for me, isn't he?" I asked plainly, not intending to beat around the bush. "Well, it does seem like that to me also." She responded calmly, agreeing to my thoughts.The moment we con
We were there for a while before we pulled out. That moment had to be one of the best in my entire life! Romance? I vowed against it since the experience with Adrien but guess who's finished now?'This was how it started then, it will happen again and again: that thing you have been trying to avoid.' I heard something speak in my head and my countenance switched all of a sudden. I opened the car door and got out of the car."Where are you heading to?" He asked and I replied causally. "I need fresh air." As expected even though not wished, he alighted from the car too and came after me as I walked away."Where are you heading to, Mira?" He asked again, like he did not hear my response the first time. "Your ears are functioning properly, Jordan! You heard me the first time." I asserted, boning my face totally. Who would not be surprised and concerned by the sudden change in attitude?Suddenly, he grabbed me by the arm and pulled me around, towards him. "What is the issue?" He asked,
I did not hear him rightly, right? And why was my heart racing? What was with the sudden spring of emotions I was feeling within me? 'There is no way you are losing your guard, Mira.' I said to myself innerly and immediately set out to rebuke him."You have lived longer than me, you should know better than to play with a wolf's emotions." I slammed and he raised his hands up in surrender. "I am sorry, godmother." He addressed jokingly while smiling, but I did not find any of it funny.Those heart strings remained pulled but I just had to calm myself."Take me back already." I said authoritatively, even though I knew he could decide not to yield to me. I was prepared for the worst, let him do whatever and I would find my way out of there."Sure. They are waiting for you, still at Annatoria's place." He said it like he knew for sure what he was saying so I believed him. We stepped out of the building and then one thing that got to me was the serenity of that environment.Some men we
I was so bent on going after him. "Nobody must attack back!" I yelled, instructing every man in there like they were mine. I turned to Madison and whispered to her. "It's Jordan, Maddie." She looked surprised as well but she quickly masked her reaction."What do you want to do now?" She inquired. "I need to see him." I replied to her but she frowned. "You can't go after him now, not at this time." She cautioned but I was so determined.I felt like if I did not eventually meet with him after catching a glimpse of him, I could die. My heart pined so much to just see him up close. I did not lose my brain though, yes I knew very well that this man sent an arrow attack but I could not conclude that he was going to hurt me.For a self-perfect person like him, there was no way he would have missed the shot. If he was going to kill or harm me, it would have happened already. So there was no point in trying to attack back.I did not listen to Madison as I set out for the hills. Annatoria's
As soon my parents left the pack, I got dressed up too in preparation for the visit to Annatoria's place. "Don't tell me you are not done." Madison was close to roaring as it was her umpteenth time of coming over to hurry me up."I am almost...""Lady Mira!" She raised her voice, startling me as I tried to spray my perfume. I knew she was just angry though, she could just be dramatic sometimes."I am done." I concluded quickly as I dropped the perfume carelessly on the dresser's table.I immediately grabbed my coat and headed out with her. She frowned but I cutely dissolved her expression."So, has the gifts been prepared?" I asked as we walked down the hallway."Yes." She responded. I had told her to have gifts prepared for Annatoria. It was not the current me the last time we went there so I was there emptyhanded. Things had changed now though.As soon as we got to the main living room, Julian walked in also."Greetings, Lady." He said politely, bowing his head. "This isn't need
