"Kelly!" I screamed.I then tried to go help her up, but I swayed, almost falling to the ground. I held onto the edge of the table and tried to pull myself up, but it was not easy for me."Kelly, are you okay? I gasped."Not really, but I will live; what the hell is wrong with you?""I....do....not.... " I could not finish speaking because I felt a flashing headache again, and then I saw Stephen holding a knife with blood dripping out of it."Alix, what is wrong? You know what? I am getting Reagan," she said, running to the door."No, don't," I said and motioned for her to come back, but somehow I pushed her to the wall. She hit her back hard on the wall."Alix, I can't move. You are holding me to the wall," she shouted."Sorry, I do not know what is happening. My head is killing me and I feel dizzy.""Repeat what you did and release me from the wall so I can call Reagan."I nodded, "Okay, let me try, but I did not even know what I did.""Just repeat whatever you just did, Now begin w
He hissed, then moved to me with the speed of light, then slammed his hand on our table, breaking the table into two. All the contents spilled on the floor and some on my dress. Kelly fell off her chair in fear and hid under the next table.I just sat there, not saying a word, holding his intense gaze with a chopstick in my hand, waiting for his next course of action. It's been a long time since I saw him this crazy, so I was going to protect myself if the need arose.The whole shop was quiet, and everyone stopped what they were doing and concentrated on us. Fear was boldly written on their faces.He grabbed my hand and then tried to drag me up, but I put the chopstick on his neck. The people at the shop gasped, but I pretended not to hear them."Let me go right now or I will cut you open," I said, pressing the chop more tightly to his neck, drawing out blood.Instead of letting me go, he smirked then grabbed the hand that I held the chopstick and started forcing it into his neck.My
He pulled out a riding crop and blindfold, then tossed the box to the other side of the room."What is that? I asked him."Some new toys I bought for our enjoyment; I know you will like them.""No, I do not; what I would like is for you to untie me and let me go."He smiled, then came close to me; he sat beside me on the bed and whispered in my ear, "You already know that it is a lie; you do not want me to untie you; instead, you want me to put my mouth on you to lick in the places that you ache in."I reined in my moan by closing my lips tightly against each other because I ached in my core for him.He smiled, then dropped the riding crop beside me, took the blindfold, and moved closer to my face."You better not put that on me, Reagan, or I will kick you," I said while tugging at the cuffs, but he brought my head up and placed it anyway.I butted into Reagan's right hand, hoping to get him to stop, but he did not seem to mind; he just continued positioning the blindfold well. I deci
"Nothing will happen; Brian will be in the crowd protecting her.""Shit! How do I explain that to her?""Brian already did, and she understood everything. She did not even throw a tantrum, so you are welcome."I smiled and said, "OK, then, I do not need to panic. Thank you."I started eating my ramen, and Reagan sat beside me on the bed and started typing something on his phone. I looked at the screen, and I saw that he was talking to Amelia."Why are you talking to Amelia?""Am I telling her to start coming already? You need her to get you ready?""For the mating ceremony?"He nodded, still engrossed in his phone. I snatched it from him."Alix, why are you snatching my phone?" He said and tried taking his phone back.I stood up from the bed and took a good look at the chat.He was telling her what kind of accessories he wanted him to bring while coming. He mentioned diamonds, and she was asking her if she should bring a black diamond or the pink diamond that they had gotten for me. T
My eyes widened, mate! What the hell is happening?Brian tried to pull the she-wolf to himself, but she pushed him. She looked at a man beside her, who nodded before she hugged Brian. She did not act like other wolves that are overjoyed to see their mate. Her smile seemed forced to me. Something was definitely off about her."What is happening? Is that Brian's mate?" I asked Reagan stupidly because I needed to be sure that I was not the only one seeing this. The music had stopped playing, and everyone was looking at the drama that was unfolding."Yes, go get your friend now," He said and pushed me forward.That was when my gaze returned to Kelly; she looked pale like she was going to faint any time soon. I rushed to her and tapped her slowly."Kelly, come on, do not keep watching them," I whispered." then tried to pull her away from the scene, but she held my hand, refusing to leave."No," she whispered."Kelly, come on, let's just go; Reagan can tell us what happened later."She push
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
