The Rogue’s Little Plaything 66
Fleki’s POVMy strides to the elder’s room were longer than usual because it’d been a while since she’d requested my presence in her chambers, especially since she seemed to prefer Lustre’s company better these days. “Everyone can smell your stench of jealousy, it's not a good one on you” My wolf snorted teasingly and I simply shook my head instead of dignifying his tease with a response.I wasn’t sure if it bothered me that she spent so much time with Lustre recently, but I could only hope that she wasn't doing it because she thought what we had was more than what it was— one between a powerful alpha and one of his favorite whores among the harem he’d gathered over the years. I brushed the thought away and reluctantly focused my mind on the hallway I was turning into that led me to my destination.In good time, I’d made it to the elder’s chambers and I proceeded to knock on her door softly, hoping faithfully that she’d answer on the first knock for once. After a few seconds of dead

Lustre's POVEverywhere I turned, someone was bumping into me with some shit they'd procured for the ball or my ears were being bled out with gossip and musings about the ball and who'd be present. It was just as tiring as it was annoying, and I truly hoped that it would come to an end soon.The last few days that led up to the ball had been filled with several preparations in full swing and a noisy environment, day in and out. From the preparations that were being made, you'd know that the ball would accommodate men of valor and be the talk of Silvercrest for weeks to come after it had been held.However, that did nothing to fuel my enthusiasm because I never fantasized about princess dresses and balls when I could be much more— a woman in power who'd continue to bring unworthy men to their knees, and that title was much more satisfying than being at a man's side as his trophy.And I had a feeling that was all Alpha Fleki intended for me to be by making me his date to the ball. Of co

LUSTREWhen I woke up to the evening of the ball, courtesy of Miimii's singing that had filled the room— I couldn't help the groan that escaped my lips as I stretched lazily. For a while, I just sat still in bed and stared at Miimii as she moved around and got both our outfits ready as well as the makeup we'd wear.How could anyone be filled with so much energy? I wondered as I watched her sway happily from one corner of our room to another.I'd fallen asleep because I wanted to desperately escape from the doom I was bound to experience at the ball and yet time had been dragging the entire day. Yet, Miimii's enthusiasm that had choked me since the day started hadn't dwindled in the hour and a half that I fell asleep for."Are you ready to get dolled up, Lu?!" she practically hummed when she finally noticed that I was awake.I had to admit, she had the most adorable nickname for me I'd ever heard and her contagious floating energy was my favorite thing about her. Yet, right now I dread

REIDThe clacking shoes on the floor of the halls, as I watched people say from side to side on the dance floor with their partners, made my throat close with jealousy. I wished dearly to be in their stead, to be dancing with Miimii and to hold her in my arms and guide her steps as we danced, to swirl her around and whip her back up into my arms.But of all that was most likely going to remain a fantasy, and nothing more.Worst of all was the fact that I’d not been able to find Miimii since I got to the ball and I was increasingly getting antsy. I’d arrived at the ball unusually early because I needed to greet the Alphas that were in attendance on Alpha Fleki’s behalf until he decided to waltz in at a fashionably late hour to continue with the formalities of greeting the Alphas.I’d not expected her to arrive as early as I did but I’d hoped that she would be no more than an hour late if she delayed. At some point, I had contemplated sending a guard to fetch her but I figured she’d thi

REIDA warmth that could pass as an angel’s touch passed through my spine as my wolf strengthened our link and I knew exactly what he’d been referring toIt was the peace that came with Miimii’s presence, one that we’d never experienced because we’d been troubled for as long as we could remember. I’d personally felt a calmness around her that was impossible to describe, asides from my wolf having drawn my attention to the fact that he felt it as well.She was like a sail that kept a ship afloat amidst a heavy storm, and I would never get tired of being in her presence. I didn't sever the link that my wolf had intensified just yet as I basked in the peace she brought us while I still watched her drown herself in various colors of macarons.“Do you like them that much?” I asked her as she picked up a green one and examined it closely like she wasn't going to drop the entire thing in her mouth the very next second.“Come over here, you need to try one of these because that's not a questi

Lustre’s POVEveryone stared.I could have sworn that everyone I came across tonight had purposely let their gaze linger on me for much longer than was appropriate or necessary.Men, women and pups alike didn't for a second stop shuffling their eyes from their dates or company to me and then back. The men especially flashed me unseemly gazes and looked at me in suggestively inappropriate ways that made me want to puke from sheer disgust.As much as I knew that the attention I’d been receiving was well deserved, I couldn't bask in it as much as they did in my beauty. I was much more focused on getting through the night without having everything I’d worked for reduced to nothing by Luca’s presence.To make matters worse, my mind was preoccupied with how nervous the little interaction Alpha Fleki had with Luca made me feel. I’d wished for the ground to open up and swallow me so I wouldn't have had to live through the torturous and unnerving experience.But here I was, still on solid groun

Lustre's POVI begged for my eyes to have been deceiving me when I saw Alpha Luca's figure that'd been trailing at a calculated distance behind me. I was already battling a rather messy night and I didn't want the cherry on top to be an unpredictable encounter with Alpha Luca.It could've been anyone else, but not him.On my part, I'd absolutely forgotten that he'd had his eyes on me the entire time while I was seated with Alpha Fleki. In those few moments when I searched for a distraction to soothe my restless nerves, I'd overlooked the tiny detail that Alpha Luca's eyes were trained on me.Apparently, the sly asshole had been waiting for an opening to get me alone and I'd convinced myself that it'd end at harmless stares since I was more likely to remain at Alpha Fleki's side for the rest of the ball.The one time that the fear Alpha Fleki had instilled in everyone that knew of him could've shielded me, getting drinks spilled on me had to go and fucking ruin that for me as well. But
The Rogue’s Little Plaything 73
Fleki’s POVThe air around me had become unpleasant the moment Lustre had to leave, as much as she was antsy for reasons I didn't understand when she was seated beside me, she was the least annoying thing about having to sit through the ball.I only honored Silvercrest’s ancient traditions that fostered healthier pack relations by organizing elaborate balls because it was a required formality, and I was a leader that followed the rules of tradition by the book especially after being brought up and nurtured by an elder. Yet, for once I had a date to the ball that I didn't absolutely despise and I would've loved to enjoy her company. At first when I’d noticed that she was nervous, I’d felt inclined to take her mind off whatever had her looking so unsettled.From what I’d gathered, I assumed that she wasn't familiar with formal gatherings like balls and I’d placed her as the center of attention at the first ball she’d been opportune to attend. So of course, the concern I felt for her wa
