"Oh, sh*t! Did you hear about the banquet?" As soon as he asked, he gripped the wheel tightly, not daring to glance at Alice.
"Da..vid Kim, what ban...quet?", Alice asked through gritted teeth, enunciating each syllable making David gulp."Hehe, the banquet between our pack and other packs. It's to celebrate the Luna's birthday and the Alpha also said it's to also find his daughter's mate", David sheepishly scratched his head."When did you hear about this banquet", Alice asked, still angry. Hearing her question, David swallowed his saliva with difficulty. Only if he could run out of the car right now."Hehe, it hasn't been long since I heard", he answered, trying to evade the topic but he could never outsmart Alice.The next minute, a loud thump was heard and David screamed in pain."What did you do that for?", He asked as he stylishly glared at Alice."Oh, you dare ask me that!, If you really want to know, let us get to our destination first and then I'd tell you", Alice smiled while blinking her eyes like a doll. Meanwhile David was aware that the moment Alice does that, she was up to no good."Hehe, you can keep the reason to yourself. I'm no longer interested", David said in mock anger.Alice chuckled while staring at him. She knew he was handsome but he gets more handsome with a pout on his face."Awww, aren't you just cute", Alice poked his cheek which made David secretly smile.Few minutes later, they arrived at the most luxurious coffee shop. Before David could alight out of the car, Alice immediately stopped him."I am now employed!" She shrieked and David immediately turned towards her."Really?!" David shrieked and immediately turned to look at Alice. He could be seen bouncing in his seat. It was the seat belt that stopped him from pouncing on Alice."Yes! And guess what?" Alice chuckled while smiling brightly."What? Tell me, tell me", David urged."I have been employed to be a personal secretary of Sylvester Justin", Alice smiled despite the bitter taste she had when she voiced out her mate's name.Meanwhile, like David had been struck by lightning, he stopped bouncing. Even the bright smile on his face was nowhere to be found and he stared at Alice unblinkingly. The next moment, he felt her temperature by placing his palm on her forehead. Unaware of what her best friend was thinking about, Alice kept smiling.Unexpectedly, David began saying solemnly:"Alice, I know you're devastated about being unemployed but there's great harm in you having such a fantasy".Hearing this, Alice furrowed her brows looking confused."What fantasy?", Alice asked still unaware of the different scenarios playing in David's head.David sighed and calmly touched Alice's shoulder and rubbed it soothingly."I understand", David shook his head in pity.Alice knew her friend was quick in drifting away so she immediately opened her bag and brought out the contract she had signed in her mate's office."Take, read this! I don't know what you're ranting about", Alice spoke out as the passed the brown envelope to David.Minutes later, a loud scream was heard. It was none other than David that screamed like he had seen a ghost. His fingers shook as he read through the contract papers/ details.Note: Hello dear readers, sorry for late updates.

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
