When I opened my eyes the next morning, I had a headache, but most importantly, my body was sore. I tried to sit up, and pain ran through my whole body. I bit into my lips and managed to sit up.It made sense why my whole body hurt now; I was lying on the floor, and two bottles of vodka and several shots were lying around. There was also a knife and a drawing that I presumed to be Brian's because his name was on it, but it did not look anything like him. Several holes in the paper must've been made with the knife.I did not have much of a headache because Kelly was grappling with the vodka bottle yesterday.She was also lying on the ground near the television, and she looked completely trashed. I managed to stand up even though I swerved a bit. I went to the water dispenser and grabbed a cup of water. I downed it, but it still did not do much.I grabbed my phone from the bed; there were three missed calls. I turned the data on and saw messages from Reagan.He asked if we were okay in
Fi"Ummm who said so? Do not mind them because I already asked Reagan to make an excuse for you," I said while patting her hair."That is so nice of both of you, but I have to go to that party; I must go," she said with all seriousness."Why?" I was confused because I thought that she would be happy that she was being exempted."I saw that ass. He must have followed me to the orchid.""He came to apologize?"She scoffed, Yes, but that was not why I was angry; he asked me not to bother coming to the ceremony tonight as he and his beloved were announced by Stephen. I mean, I came from the palace to this place for the mating ceremony, and you are commanding me on what to do because we had an arrangement that did not work out. He did not ask if I wanted to come; he told me not to bother coming.""Maybe he is just worried about you and trying not to hurt your feelings."She scoffed, "Nope when you are worried about people's feelings, you do not come to them and te
"Put more highlighter; I want my cheeks to sparkle, like a diamond, so all eyes will be on me," Kelly said."Why would you add more highlighter? This one is enough."She snatched the highlighter from my hand, added another layer of it, and blended it a bit with a brush."Now it looks good. Where is that bodycon diamond dress? I thought I kept it on the bed?""I put it on the chair, so I would not mistakenly sit on it," I said and pointed at the chair.We have been in Kelly's room getting ready for the mating ceremony for the last two hours. After we said goodbye to Clara, I made a quick stop at our room, though Reagan was not in. He left me a note telling me that he was having a meeting but had asked Stephen to have the cooks bring us food.I took some gala-worthy clothes from my wardrobe and then headed to Kelly's room. She was flirting with a man, whom I recognized to be one of Reagan's guards, and they were in front of her door."So are you saying that I get to keep you to myself a
Red, Why was her head changing color in the middle of the dance floor? I looked around to see if there was a red light flashing on her hair, but I saw nothing. I tapped Reagan about to explain it to him, but I did not know what to say."Did you see what is happening over there?" I said, trying to see if he caught her hair changing color."By something happening, if you mean your friend walking to the center, making everyone, including Brian's eyes, be on her, yes, I saw that."Okay, maybe it was a red light or I was going crazy, but it was very real."Did you see how Brian's eyes were following her? I thought he just found his mate and should have no eyes for anyone but her, so why is he looking at Kelly like he is starving?"Reagan starts to look at me somehow. I clean my face, thinking there is something on it. I do it slowly because I am not going to rough off my makeup, but when I see nothing and he is still looking,"What? Do you have something to say?""Yes, why are you trying t
"So what you are trying to tell me is that the magic worked and everything went according to plan," Payne said, taking a sip of his wine and popping one chunk of meat into his mouth. He was eating steak for dinner."Yes, it did; they will leave tomorrow morning with her. I managed to convince them that she is just a healer, just like you told me." The person at the other end of the phone answered."Good job, Stephen. I will transfer the cash to you when I am done eating for a job well done.""OK, when do I get to speak to the person in charge?"Payne rolled his eyes and answered, "You are speaking to him right now.""Come on, I mean, the so-called grand master, I need to be sure that I picked the right side and that nothing will backfire.""Nothing will backfire, Roderick told me that you were not so hard to convince, and besides, I heard that Reagan threw you out of the window, so you must hate him like I do, so do not act like you did not have it in mind to rebel against the Royals.
"Kelly, with the way you are sounding, you better still not be asleep at Joshua's place," I told her immediately after she picked up the call. I went to her room this morning to check on her, but she was not there."Good morning to you too, Alix; I have almost reached the pack house," she whispered out."Where are you? Don't tell me you slept with Joshua too. You know how this might end again.""Alright, madam purity, I will have you know that we, including a few pack members, crashed in Clara's place for an after-party"Who are we?""Me, Joshua, and two other guards that were instructed to watch over me; they did not drink though, so boring. Only Joshua had a glass of whiskey after I cajoled him for a long time, but for what it was, I had a nice time. I drank like a fish, knowing that no one could do anything to me there.""Congratulations to you. You forgot that you are supposed to be careful and also forgot that we are leaving this morning.""I did not; I just have a terrible heada
Kelly's hands roamed over his chest, feeling his muscles. He growled and pulled her up into his hands, still kissing her.Her hands went around his neck, and his hands started going to the back of her clothes.They did not seem to remember that they were devouring each other out in the open. I started coughing to alert them about it, but both of them did not seem to care; instead, they were still busy feeling each other.I nudged Reagan. "Say something," I whispered."What is there to say? Your friend just found his mate, and they are eating each other in the open. Damn, my brother still has moves," he said and turned away.I could not believe him."Kingsley, you are out in the field," King Victor growled from where he was, but it was still very loud. This was the first time I had seen him growl.Queen Elizabeth was standing beside me while her husband was discussing with Brian and Rosette, and they were standing a bit far from us.Kingsley must have heard his father and tried to dise
"Alix" Kelly screamed, then pulled me into a hug."I finally have a mate, the moon goddess finally decided to send him my way", she whispered in my ear."Congratulations, baby girl," I said to her."Thanks, but you do not seem happy. Did you and your mate fight?"I scoffed. "Why would you think that?""Because your face was not like this a few minutes ago, and you are frowning now.""I am not frowning, and we just had a disagreement over something, so it's no big deal.""I would be worried if I were you. Things with Reagan are never a small deal. I am an example of that," Stephen cut in."Sure, are you also an example of a do not backstab your brother situation?" I asked, getting annoyed that he was trying to put everything on his brother.Anybody would get mad if your family member tried to backstab you; besides, the Reagan, I know, does not escalate little things."Alix" Kelly warned."What? Your mate started it first. His brother is not badmouthing him, so he should do the same to
