“For the future,” Klaus said, beating his chest. “For the future!” The people chorused in return, beating their chest too. Klaus did it a few more times and they reacted accordingly, then he turned to face me, smiling in satisfaction. It was scary to see the way all of them suddenly moved from not wanting to fight for themselves to being willing to do whatever it took to secure their future. If all the people here maintained their stance and went to war like Klaus wanted, Aiden was going to have a tough time, even with the type of person he was. Since I was the only reasonable person there, I knew it was up to me to talk sense into them. After a while, the gathering was dismissed and I returned home with Klaus. He was beaming throughout the drive back and I almost wanted to reach out and knock the smile off his face. When we got back to the house, Klaus went off to his room, leaving me to myself. I returned to my room too, locking myself in. I kept hoping Klaus wouldn't invite me t

I looked at the bartender who flashed me another angry look and I quickly changed my mind about asking him about what I'd just heard. It would be better to hear from the horse itself. Placing the shot glass on the counter and a few dollar notes alongside it, I walked around to the door the man had disappeared into. The bartender didn't notice me because he had returned to his cleaning and his friend at the counter had suddenly shifted his attention to his phone. Immediately after opening the door, I found myself standing directly in front of the man, as if he'd been waiting for me. A second later, I realized that he'd been on his way out. “Who are you?” He asked in a hostile manner.Stepping back to allow him through, I said, “I overheard you talking about someone earlier. Daisy.” Before he could say anything, I pulled out a poster I had folded neatly into my back pocket and presented it to him. “Is this her?”A surprised look crossed his face as he stared at it. “Yes, yes, she's th

Our eyes remained on each other for a while before I realized that I'd caught the attention of someone else too. There was curiosity in the woman's eyes and, afraid that she might follow my gaze to Aiden, I quickly looked elsewhere. It wasn't hard to picture everyone there mobbing him until they killed him if they found out about his presence. Klaus would surely have a field day with that. Trying my best not to look at Aiden again, I spent the rest of the afternoon getting familiar with the members of the pack. There were so many people introducing themselves that I soon lost track of the names I'd heard. The only thing that kept me going as I was getting familiar with them was the thought that I was doing everything for Aiden, to keep him safe. Continuing the charade with Klaus and the members of the pack was my little way of contributing to Aiden's safety. After the main part of the ceremony, I retired to my room to prepare for the second part which would go on late into the nig

Fully satisfied, the muscles in my body relaxed and I fell onto the blanket beside her. Her hand came to rest on my chest, teasing my nipples and the next thing I knew, it was morning and everywhere was bright. I could hear voices and footsteps and I knew it was time for me to take my leave. Daisy only stirred a little when I stood up and I had to wake her up myself. Looking around, I saw our clothes littered everywhere.She looked groggy and unaware at first then, all of a sudden, her eyes went wide as everything came back to her.“Oh, shit. They are going to be looking for me soon,” she said and hurried to her feet.“Fuck that. Come back with me,” I said as I wore my pants.“I can't. My presence here is important or they will kill you.”“Like hell I care about that,” I returned sharply. “Any attempt they make will surely fail.”She stopped moving abruptly and turned to face me. “Why are you so stubborn?” She fired at me and I was taken aback by that. “Why won't you listen to anythi

Klaus summoned me the following day and I wondered what he wanted to see me for. A part of me was worried as I headed towards the room that served as his office until we returned to the estate. I couldn't help but wonder if I'd done something wrong without knowing it. The sun was already high up in the sky, bathing the hallway in its light.He was seated on the edge of his desk with his arms folded to his chest when I walked in. “You called for me,” I said.“Yeah, I did,” he replied, unfolding his arms. He walked around the desk to go to sit in the chair behind it. “I noticed that you barely leave your room. Aren't you supposed to use all this time to integrate yourself with the people you are going to be ruling soon?”“I already did that,” I said, moving closer to his desk.“If you're referring to the simple meet and greet you did during the first ceremony, then I'd advise you to think twice. You have to make them feel like they know you and can rely on you anytime. One simple meet
