Lisa's POV
To say the council outdid themselves would be an understatement. For dinner, the glass plates and wine flutes were replaced with gold plates and crystal wine glasses. The gold shone against the white tablecloths and drapes in the dining room and ballroom. They hadn't held back in spending lavishly to celebrate Jonas' birthday. I had already stuffed myself with food, and there was currently no space for me, despite the many recipes I had yet to try out. While in the ballroom, I stood next to Jonas while he introduced me to members of the new order. A good number of them were still away on business.
So far, I've met Jeremy and Luke, Alphas of the Moonstone and Nightwalker packs. I disliked both of them from the moment we shook hands. It was obvious they saw me as inferior. Luke made some vulgar comments about me that were disguised as compliments.
Jonas emptied the content of his glass down his throat as a young man wi
Lisa's POV A day had passed since Jonas' birthday party, and it was now time for him to be inducted as the Delta. I haven't seen Kayden since he left me with Klaus at the birthday party, not even during meals. Jonas has refused to let me leave his side. He said he needed me to survive the events that were about to take place. I didn't mind. I'd rather stick with Jonas than Kayden. I didn't want any issues with Klaus. Keeping him content is a priority for me now. I stare at the note in my hand. It had been delivered by Kayden's driver. He wrote for me to meet him in his room when I was ready. He said he had something important to tell me, and if he didn't answer the door after the first three knocks, I should go right in. The note also said I could refuse if I wanted to. Jonas had left to carry out his pre-ceremony rites, and I had no pressing issues. I tucked the note into my jeans pocket and walked to his room, making sure Kla
Lisa's POV"So why did you want to meet me in the first place?" I ask as I pull away from him."I wanted to ask you if you would want to come to Jonas' induction.""Would I be safe?""Of course, you would. Why else would I ask you to come if it wasn't safe?" He says."If that's the case, I would be honored to attend.""There's only one small problem, you would have to watch the whole induction from a room by yourself. You shouldn't be in the induction room.""Is there something you're not telling me, Kayden?"I'm trying to protect you. If you're in the induction room, it might be discovered that you've expired. "I would rather sit this one out. "I think I'll pass on the offer." I couldn't put myself in a precarious situation for the second time in a day.There's nothing to be scared of. There are loopholes in everything. Use me as an example. I'm an expired Prime Alpha. It would cos
Lisa's POVI let the candle clatter to the floor as I screamed. "Kayden!" He was already passed out. I dropped down to my knees next to the body. "Wake up, Kayden. Don't die on me. "I continued hitting his chest till he groaned, his eyes blinking rapidly. "Close the door before someone finds us."I was finding it hard to do so, seeing as he collapsed at the door. I wrap my hands around his torso and manage to pull him forward after several minutes of trying. I eventually drag him away from the door before shutting it in and securing the bolt in place.I rushed back to his side, confused about what was going on. I couldn't call for help; it was pretty obvious he didn't want me to. I waited for some excruciating minutes as he battled with the pain before his breathing returned to normal.His eyes slowly open and they find me. I'm sorry for the trouble. The pain was rather unbearable."How do you feel now?" I ask
Lisa's POVIt was just past midnight and I had already lost count of how many times I had vomited. Each time I thought about what I was about to face, I couldn't help but keep the bile down my throat. I thought of saying I was sick and using it as an excuse not to go to the Beta induction. But then, I knew Klaus would have none of it. I had already accepted his invitation, and there was no turning back on my word. Kayden had told me that he needed to talk to his father about a few things that he wouldn't tell me. I was still very much an outsider.What about Lisa? I hear Kayden's voice from outside of my door. I groaned before I emptied the contents of my belle once again. Wiping my mouth with the back of my hand, I stand up from the floor at the base of the toilet and rinse my hands in the sink. I stepped out of the bathroom and changed my clothes as fast as I could.What about Lisa? He calls out again. How did he
Lisa's POVI tap my fingers on his chest slowly. "Can I trust the Prime Alpha?"He moves his body and rolls over to his so that our faces are only a few inches apart. "Do you want to?"I nod. "I want to try it."He turned his gaze back towards the stars. It's pretty difficult to see my favourite constellation right now. One of them is Libra. I like that one because I want to become a wise leader who can differentiate between what is good and bad for the country.Do you have any other favorites?""Yes, Orion."I stare up at the dark sky littered with stars. I had a hard time learning about different constellations when I was younger. No matter how hard I tried, I always ended up forgetting or mixing them up.I turned back on my side to look at him. "Why Orion?" I ask.He rolls onto his side once more, and our faces are even closer this time. He runs his finger from my temple and down to the
Lisa's POV The next morning, instead of heading over to the dining room for breakfast, I head over to the patio where the Alphas of Moonstone, Nightwalker, Dark Moon, and Shadow packs, alongside Kayden, Klaus, and Jonas, are having breakfast. There were a few women around as well. I initially wanted to skip breakfast, but Jonas had forced me to join them. He had explained that the women were sisters to the Alphas of the Order. Seeing as it wasn't the dining room, there was no official arrangement for the seating order. Everyone sat how they wanted, and so Jonas saved me a spot next to where he sat. I mumbled a few greetings as I made my way over to my seat, a soft breeze blowing through my hair. Autumn will be here soon. I was hoping the changing leaves would add to the glamour of the estate. I dig into my breakfast, taking sneaky glances at others. Genevieve was seated next to Klaus at one end of the table, listening to something one
Lisa's POVJonas guides us to the dance floor and wraps his hand around my waist. I place one of mine on his shoulder and he pulls me closer.I hope you brought your A-game. I'm not going to go easy on you. "That's correct. You said you're going to make this "challenging for me.""You got that right."The intro to the song begins softly.Jonas leans towards my ear. "Try not to lose your breath." He whispers.One, two, three, and four...The slow song transforms into a waltz. We glide across the floor in perfect rhythm, not missing a step. The violinists played fervently, increasing the tempo of the song, and we matched it without breaking a sweat.One spin and two. Everyone on the dance floor spins simultaneously as the song bounces off the sturdy walls of the ballroom. Three spins and then four... I keep my eyes trained on Jonas' face as my dress spins out around me. He's grinning at me f
Lisa's POVThat's a weird way to put it. I don't ever recall agreeing to dance with you. "Well, that's one of the perks of being a Beta; you don't need permission to want something."There are numerous girls here who would be willing to dance with you. Can't you manage to convince one of them instead of asking me?"He tilts his head to the side. "You're right about them wanting me but I've never danced with you before. And, if I remember correctly, you were discussing how good you were with my cousin." He grips my hand and squeezes it hard enough, I know he planned to hurt me and make me afraid but I wasn't going to have any of that."Let go of me."He smirks, pulling me closer to himself. For that matter, "I do not believe you have the right to tell me what to do or give me orders."Do you find it exciting to be rude to women? Do it fuel your ego to see fear?"His hand tightens over my wri
