The Rogue’s Little Plaything 69
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

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

Fleki’s POVThe decision to abandon my duties at the ball completely wasn't one I’d settled on easily, but I knew that if I didn't leave to find Lustre myself, I’d fucking lose my mind wondering where she’d been and what had held her up for such a long time.The bathroom stalls were outside the hall, yet a part of the same building. However, it was a walk that would take anyone a few minutes at a steady and normal pace. But since I wasn’t just “anyone” and I was on a mission to find Lustre, I took long and intentional strides to get to my destination much faster.One foot in front of the other, and I’d arrived at the bathroom stalls in no time. My eyes wandered around like I was on the unfamiliar ground until I found the hallway that led to the women’s bathroom stalls.I walked slowly toward the female stalls because I’d wondered what to do when I arrived there, barge in, and run into another woman asides from Lustre. Would I have to knock on all the doors until I found Lustre? What i

Fleki’s POV“Fucking come again, I dare you!” I roared as I watched him struggle for air under my tight grip. Since I’d raised him above ground, his legs also flailed helplessly as he tried without any luck to release himself from the death grip I had him in. His eyes were blood shot and he could also release helpless and pathetic gasps from the disgusting lips that had dared to speak of Lustre like he’d stood a chance with her. As I remembered how unnerved Lustre had looked when I arrived, I realized that he must’ve also put her in an uncomfortable situation and it only aggravated my wrath much more. In that moment, I’d seriously considered snapping his scrawny neck in between my fingers and killing him, and the idea appealed to me more than it should've.“Lustre is mine” I breathed into his ears while I still held him up by his neck.“I can imagine that you're a lot of things, but I didn't think you’d be dumb enough to go after what's mine” I could feel his resolve to fight back w

Fleki’s POVIn mere seconds of strengthening my focus and attempting to mind-link Reid, I’d gotten a hold of him and I could feel his mind invade mine in a bid to search for a command if I’d given one out yet.“Reid, can you hear me?” I shut my eyes briefly as I reached into my mind’s eye to listen for his reply.“Yeah, Fleki. Is something wrong?” He replied within seconds and I knew that his question had arisen because he’d felt my anger seep through the link I’d created between us.“I need you to get some guards to throw some asshole off my property immediately” I couldn't deal with Luca’s increasingly annoying presence so I’d prefer if Reid took care of the rest because I didn't trust anyone else to do it right.“Who’s the asshole and where’s he?” He responded promptly and I could feel our connection strengthen as he began to move in the direction where I was.“I see you're using the mind link to find me?” I voiced my observation as I felt the bond grow with every passing second.“
