Just as Alice took her seat, there was a commotion. Alice paid no heed to this as she was more anxious about the interview.
She was brought out of her thoughts when a pair of shiny shoes stood in her line of sight. She looked up at the person but before she could see his face clearly, her wolf growled, "MATE".
Alice immediately rose to her feet then she was able to see the face of the person standing before her. Alice paid no heed to his facial expression and kept smiling at him but the smile was brushed off her face the moment she saw the look of disgust and anger the man was giving her.
All her fantasies about her mate having lots of fun her crumpled down before it started. Just as she was on the brink of tears, she thought of another ray of hope which was her mate wasn't a werewolf so he didn't realize that she was his mate. Alice inhaled his scent deeply and the little ray of hope she had also crumbled into pieces. Her mate wasn't a human but a werewolf but why is he staring at her that way? Does he not want her?
"Who allowed her in?" The question made Alice snap out of her thoughts but her mind was still in disarray. She opened and closed her mouth but no word was able to get out.
Meanwhile she didn't realize that all her actions had been misunderstood by the man standing before her. From his aspect, she was just like all those women who'd do anything to get into his bed but the only thing that was different about her was that she was dressed so poorly and her voice was void of any make-up. Unlike other women who had tried to get into his bed, this lady didn't dress seductively. Or was this another way to get into his bed? Thinking of this, his expression turned grim as he glared at her.
Alice had been staring at the man and at that period, she has regained a little bit of composure. Now, she was able to register the man's facial features clearly. A golden brown hair that reached his neck which she was also dying to touch, thick and full eyebrows, icy blue eyes, a sharp nose, a full red lips and a well designed jaw. Yes well designed cause he appeared like a piece of art. Alice unconsciously wanted to put her hair behind her ears but then she remembered her hair was packed in a neat bun so she awkwardly released her hands.
Meanwhile the others who also came to apply for the job all pointed fingers at Alice while laughing. They didn't dare laugh aloud for fear of the big boss using his anger on them. They didn't wish to get the same look Alice was getting cause it isn't any look one would pray to get from the devilishly looking handsome man.
"Throw her out".
It was hard for the party to keep going according to the plans of Jacob and the one manipulating him. None of them had expected the presence of Joe Salvatore and him suddenly appearing had definitely caused an uproar amongst them here. Every single person in the room who was as old as he was seemed to be avoiding him. Most especially, the ladies who had dared to mock Alice previously were now being slapped and pushed Forward by their fathers. "Go apologize to get now if you don't want to kill us all!" They all yelled at their daughters whom they had only being pampering minutes ago and yet, here they were, being treated like mere breeding tools. In fear, their bodies shook, and despite their grievances, they didn't dare to disobey their fathers, for fear of ending up as a meat to be slaughtered or thrown away. Even without their fathers saying it, they could all see that this was a warning being given to them. Immediately, they rushed straight towards Alice where she still stood be
"What the hell! Joe Salvatore!!!!""How...???" One of the people gasped, mouth wide open as they stared at the middle aged man who slowly stepped into the hall, looking like a war lord. "Wh... Jacob, did you hear that?" Theresa who was still nearby heard the gasps of the one name that haunted her even in her dream and believed she was hallucinating."Huh? Hear what exactly?" Oblivious to the names being gasped out, Jacob asked as he stared around. He was casually taking in everyone's appearance but suddenly, his eyes were glued straight on the one person that had just stepped into the hall."M...mother, who is that? Why does he look so much like sis?" Jacob repeatedly tapped his mother's arm as he tipped his head forward in Salvatore's direction.Theresa immediately turned to look and the moment she saw who it was, her aura seemed to change drastically. It looked like she was about to murder the one man who was now slowly making his way towards them."Umm...what is going on? Mother
"Stop!" Alice screamed, tears streaming down her face as she stared at the two Alphas. Her blurry vision didn't allow her to properly see the expression on both their faces but at this moment, she. couldn't care less about their feelings."Stop! Why! Why? Why do you act like you care? Let me go! You didn't care before, neither should you care now!" Screaming with her fists balled by her side, Alice spat out. Those who knew insiders information were able to figure out she was talking to none other than Just in whose expression was unfathomable the as he stared at her.Watching the tears fall down her face, the only thing he wanted to do was to hold her close to him and give her the comfort she craved for. "I...I..,-" Justin stammered, for the first time in his life, too weak to say a thing. As much as he tried not to care, her tears hurt him deeply. His wolf screamed to be near her. Wanted nothing but to be close to her but his past actions made it impossible."You heard the lady. Lea
Itchiness, that was the only thing Alice felt as Sebastian's arm tightened around her waist. She badly wanted to free herself from his uncomfortable embrace as she was about suffocating. Just as they were wheezing through the crowd, Alice froze upon getting a whiff of the familiar scents. She didn't need to be told whom the scents belonged to as her eyes immediately snapped towards where the scents seemed to have been coming from. Upon meeting eyes with the pair of familiar brown orbs, Alice's tears spilled out like an erupting volcano.She didn't feel Sebastian stiffen the moment she sniffed. Though the huge man had a stern expression on his face, his breathing was erratic. His wolf was quietly whimpering in a corner as he continued to watch tears stream down her face.Unable to bear it anymore, Sebastian turned to Alice, his face hardened more and he opened his mouth to speak."Why are you crying? Do you see that everyone has their eyes on you? If you cry now, what do you think wo
Everyone has their moments and feelings. Sometimes you get the feeling of being watched or being the watcher. The latter was the condition of Justin as he waltzed through the large number of guests. There was this nagging feeling he had been having ever since he arrived at this so called banquet. For some reason,the only thing Justin felt like doing was to go meet the Alpha of Alice's back and beat him to a pulp but he wasn't willing to risk the lives of his pack members as it would only cause war. Veronica was clinging unto him as he walked, making other ladies envious of her. If only they knew of the scars that lied within.Enjoying and basking in the glory of their stares and tiny whispers, Veronica raised her chin high as she walked along with Justin, talking with other alphas who were greedily willing to associate themselves with him."Is he still not here?" The audible whispers couldn't be ignored as a big stomached man asked one of the waiters who humbly shook her head while tr
Soon, Alice finally calmed down and was no longer shivering and shaking as she was before. This made David heave a sigh of relief.Suddenly, series of noises and then footsteps were heard coming towards the cell they were.Seeing Alice jolt again, David an inkling of who those people might be.t"Look at me. I'll be leaving now. I promise, I'll be back to save you. Stay strong for me," David held her by her shoulders and spoke hastily."No,no, no, don't go. Don't leave me here," Alice cried out, reaching out to him but then, he suddenly disappeared just as he came and her hand was outstretched in the air.This was the sight Sebastian saw when he got to Alice's cell."What are you doing?" He hissed out, staring intently at Alice's outstretched hand.Alice immediately and shockingly drew back her hand, rubbing her body lightly while staring at anything but Sebastian. She avoided eye contact with him as well as she could.Of course, this didn't escape Sebastian's sight as a smirk formed
