Vida's POVI stand before the ornate mirror, my heart aflutter with anticipation for the ball that is about to start.My long hair cascaded in loose waves down my back, their fiery hues catching the soft candlelight. It was decorated with silver ornaments but still, it looked very simple.I couldn't help but smile at the sight of my hair. Dexter had specifically told the maids to make it simple and beautiful since it was my first appearance as Luna."This will fit you perfectly," the sales girl says, holding out another dress.Contrary to my first visit, they've warmed up to me much more than I had expected.I guess money talks."Please we've tried on so many already," I respond but the girls remain adamant about it, shaking their heads in refusal as they forcefully hand over the dress."Alright, but this is the last one okay," I tell them.They grin in excitement and help me to get changed.At last, I set down the gown gently.It's the seventh gown now, good thing they say seven is a
Our next stop after driving for thirty minutes happens to be a diner which surprisingly is made to be quiet.I say made because it had people in it until ten minutes ago."Alright, everyone out, meals, drinks, whatever you ordered, this man will pay," the owner says pointing at Dexter who stands proudly while I cover my face out of shame."When I say somewhere quiet I don't mean you should do this," I say to him but he stares back like a kid who doesn't understand."Still, I got you what you want didn't I?""Are you kidding me right now?" It seems, that talking to Dexter is rather a difficult thing to do."Sit," he says directing me towards an empty table at the center of the room.I look around, it's just Dexter and I, and the waiter that's in here."You can take our order in thirty minutes," he tells the man who nods quickly.I see the manager along with the owner of the diner from afar, their eyes glittering as if they had just struck gold. "Tell me Vida, what is it that you wish t
I can hardly feel myself inside this dress.The same clothing I wore which made me feel like a dazzling princess feels like a death sentence now. How exactly did I end up here?Straight from the shower, I wasn't spared even a minute of my own, it's a non-stop process with maids coming in and out of the room."Can we just take things slow," I beg them but they would end up staring at me like I'm some sort of alien and then carry on with their work not sparing me any sort of listening ear.It dawns on me that I don't have a say at the moment as the tutor carries on with giving the orders whether I like it or not."Stop slouching!" She yells even while make-up is being applied.Torture is all I have to call this."No, don't do that, it doesn't suit the color of her eyes," the tutor nags spanking the maid's hand as she holds the jewelry."I don't like that!""We can't have her going out looking like this!""Why are her nails so short!!!"My ears become unable to listen to her scolding any
We soon arrived at the ball room, the place of gathering with varieties of people, many of which I could recognize at first glance.My stomach feels weird at once as I realise I've walked into the lion's den."..."I can hear them whispering behind me, I can feel their curious gaze on me, it's so uncomfortable, but I can't say or do anything about it other than smile.Wherever I go, if they're talking they instantly become silent and stare at us.I grab on to Dexter firmly as he's my support at the moment while I p*ss through this gathering of death."Alpha Dexter and Vida," a voice calls out to us from behind.We turn around, Catherine seems to be heading towards us wearing a smile as she waves."Dexter, there's Catherine," I tell him."I see her too," he answers, reverting back to his poker face.At once my mood brightens by the sight of Catherine, I feel relieved to see someone I know here with me."You two came right on time, the party's about to start," she says, grabbing me by t
"So it's true, the sadist has a human for a companion," I heard someone say as we p*ssed by them.Everyone keeps quiet as all eyes fall back on me, I hate this unwanted attention I keep getting."Ignore those who would intentionally gossip about you very loudly for you to hear. It is what they do." Dexter says with disgust laid in his tone and I could tell he didn't really like everyone being here."It's alright, so long as you're not with them to scorn me then believe it or not, I don't have a problem," I say with a chuckle.He stares back at me and sighs lightly, pulling me close with his hand now around my waist."I can see now why my mother chose you," he says.Choose me?" I turn to Dexter completely confused."What do you mean?" I ask but he just seems to chuckle then he pulls in close."It's nothing you should worry about," he says. There he goes again, being mysterious as always. I really want to pull his hair but I can't because we're in public and of course, there's a wide ga
Vida's POVHeads turn as Linda walks in.Linda stares at me with a victorious grin on her face as she walks in. The murmurings from earlier seem to have increased and everyone's attention is now on Linda.I can understand why, especially since the mate and the Mistress are in the same room.I'm very uncomfortable.Linda moves with elegance, just as I've always known her to be. Someone who doesn't disappoint."My goodness, the dress…" I hear them murmur while I shrink, feeling uncomfortable.Her dress, made of one of the most expensive fabrics, drapes around her like a waterfall of crimson silk.It was adorned with delicate lace, bringing out her figure. The neckline of the cloth was lowered and it looked like she was squeezed into it with her cleavage showing.I could already tell she was trying to get Dexter to look at her by doing this.She styled into loose waves that cascaded down her back with some glittering hairpin adoring her hair but I could already recognize them and they we
Linda's POVReturning to the gathering I find myself unable to move as I stare in horror, Vida buries her face into Dexter's shoulder, the two are holding each other in their arms, cuddling sweetly while everyone watches just how good their relationship is."You know that's not your position," Sofia tells me."Shut it! He's just being fooled," I yell at my wolf."Ouch!" The voices of one of those pesky twins snap me back to reality.Neo, I believe is his name, his eyes look like they're holding back tears, it then hits me that I've been gripping on tightly to his arm and quickly let go least they make a fuss about it and have me report to Dexter, the last thing I want is to be on Dexter's bad side, especially not now when I've barely been able to get into here.That wench!Just when is she going to die?!Words can't explain my hatred for that wench Vida, acting like a saint when she's a vixen."How dare she rest her head on my man's chest!" I murmur to myself, grinning my teeth as I s
Neo's POVI don't entirely hate Aunt Linda, but I don't like her either.She's a bit mean and she never apologizes. I thought grown-ups were supposed to be good people."No, I can't find Aunt Linda," I whisper but he ignores me.Mama always says it's rude to ignore people, he's acting just like Papa.Big brother Ash doesn't like when I tug on his clothes so I kick him instead."Ouch!" He cries holding on tightly to his leg."Ash, what was that all about?" Mama asks squatting to help Ash up.I hold back from saying anything that'll ruin our plan, "I'm sorry, it was an accident," I tell her.Ash immediately frowns, glaring at me with a growl, "no it wasn't, that kick was too painful to be an accident," he yells."Mama I didn't do it on purpose, I saw a fly so I wanted to chase it away," I tell her wearing Mama's favorite irresistible look.She stares into my twinkling eyes and then heaves a sigh, "be careful Neo, you may hurt your brother next time," she warns me.I nod, after all, ther
