DUKE I chuckled when her eyes still didn't mine, "Hey, there's no need to be ashamed. It's your life after all, and you are free to be with as many men as you wish but me right here," I poked my pinky finger on my chest and winked at her, "I'm taken." Beatrice chuckled and inserted her phone back in her hand bag and stood up, she stretched out her to me and I cocked my eyebrow questionably, "What's up?" I placed my hand over hers and she pulled me up which I had purposely let her to. "Let's go to the dance floor," she turned and dragged me with her. I put my phone in my chest pocket and asked her, "What are we going there for?""To play bat ball," she replied and I pinched her palm. "Ouch Duke, you know what they do in the ballroom right?" She pinched me softly back and I let her drag me to the dance floor that had a lot of couples whining and dancing. "Yes, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't answer when I ask." I laughed hard.She stopped walking and stomped her foot on the grou
NATE "No no, everything is fine, right?" I said to no one in particular but no one responded "You see everything is perfect here so there's no reason for you to be worried over nothing.""That's great but something happened here today, Nate." Dad didn't say anything for a while and the hair on my neck stood in attention as numerous scenes played in my mind. I was curious as to what could actually happen to cause father to be so worked this way. "What happened father, is there anything wrong? Tell me quickly." I said in one quick breath, my hold on the phone tightened as I waited for father to give me an explanation about what happened. "The Beta saw a Young Lycan in our territory and we decided to kill him. But after he died we saw a mark on his body which the ancient Lycans were known to have. And I think he's royal so the Beta suggested we burn his body so that none of his tribe would find out." "Wait, what!" I exclaimed, a flush of heat washed over me and I gripped the phone so
NATEWe were still discussing the impending danger when we heard the door downstairs open and seconds later he barged in. Luke looked panicked and I swore I perceived a woman's scent on his body. My hands fisted together and I tried my best not to make a fuss. I didn't want Precious to be hurt so I let it be."What is that you told me about?" His breathing sagged as he fixed his gaze on me. I shrugged. "Everything you heard. I'm not repeating myself, at least not to you." I scoffed and I stood up from the bed. I walked towards the closet and took a knicker and a light top. I got into the bathroom and I turned the shower, deafening their sounds. I scooped liquid soap in my hands and rubbed it all over my body except for my eyes. Then I rinsed my bathing sponge with water and poured soap in it before I started scrubbing my body.When I was done scrubbing my body clean, I rinsed off under the shower and I dried my body with my towel. I stood in front of the round shaped mirror and I l
NATEI whispered my plan in her ear and she beamed with smiles. "Terrific!" She jumped and we high five.She looked up to me, her face a little flushed and said, "When do we start?"I thought for a moment and then came up with an answer. "Maybe an hour or so. We just had lunch so I suggest everyone should rest for a while. I need to call dad by the way so after an hour, pretend like you are bored and we will gather together." Her smiles lit her face up and she looked more beautiful than ever. "You are amazing Nate, I am so sorry for treating you the way I did in the morning." Her eyes had guilt in them and I held her hands trying to reassure her. I shrugged. "It's nothing besides I was an asshole and I deserved whatever you claim you did to me because I don't actually know what." I looked confused for a moment and then she smiled. "Stop teasing now please."I laughed and faced the sink once more. The dishes were still unwashed and I needed to be done with them fast so that I could c
PRECIOUSI finished washing the dirty dishes in three minutes and I left the kitchen. I started humming a song as I reached the dining room, everyone was still there except for Nate who wasn't. Richmond looked up from his phone and eyed me, then I returned the gesture and stood watching them with my hands akimbo. "What's wrong princess?" He patted at the space beside him but I was not interested so I shook my head, refusing his offer. "Go to sleep or do something rather than just standing there."I again shook my head and looked at Duke. My heart ached at the betrayal and I couldn't wait to find out who he was with and tear her apart. I knew we had a misunderstanding about him and his brother, but that wasn't enough for him to cheat on me right?To think I was finally opening my heart to them, I had started to accept them and I had planned on making our first night special because it would be the first night for all of us except that you don't look at it from the angle of them being
AUTHORA tall, tanned-skinned man in his late thirties strode through his royal court with an air of authority, his hands clasped firmly behind his back. His piercing gaze bore a heavy burden of concern, casting creases across his forehead as a frown deepened his expression. The Lycan king's stern demeanor was palpable as he navigated the lavish room, his mood matching the opulence surrounding him.Drawing closer to a glass table, ornately decorated with intricate patterns and symbols, the king's clenched fists betrayed the tension he carried. His face was a canvas of conflicting emotions - a mixture of frustration, desperation, and a hint of sorrow. As he approached the table, his strides were purposeful, and his narrowed eyes reflected a storm of thoughts brewing within.Then, it happened. In a sudden outburst of frustration, his hand collided with a delicate figurine placed atop the glass table. The collision sent the vase tumbling to the ground, a crash that echoed through the roo
"Do you have anywhere to keep your luggage?" I asked after she calmed down. When she affirmed my first question I said, "Then go there and stay. We shall solve it soon and please cry no more because you need to save your energy for your revenge." She sniffed. "Alright, please do help me out." Her voice sounded hoarse and I can pretty much understand what she was passing through or I can't because I have never worn the same shoes with her."I will. Do take care of yourself, I have to go back now. Bye," I ended the call without waiting for her to reply and I glanced up to see my three Greek god brothers glaring daggers at me. Did they overhear....? Geez!PRECIOUSI was into that book I picked up, the more I read the more interesting it became. At first, I disliked Tyler for what he did to Cassandra but as the pages kept flipping over, I fell in love with him.My phone suddenly started to ring and I glanced at the caller ID to see Nate's name written on it with an endearment attached to
PRECIOUS"Yes, what game? Is it going to be about truth or dare?" Duke said hopefully, "I hope it is so that we could get the same experience as last time?"I grinned as Nate nudged my side and I opened my mouth and said, "Quick fire questions." I had a small victorious smile as they flared up for a minute but it flashed by rather too quickly. "So, are we game?" I asked them, my smile widening, daring them to refuse. "Yup, not like we have a choice," Richmond shrugged and I rolled my eyes. Nate gave my shoulder a little pat, showing his support and just you wait boy, I will treat you to something nice after, I thought to myself. "Exactly. We all have to obey her commands else we wouldn't hear a word for that day." Laughed Duke, winking at me that I felt like throwing up on him. I was going to make you confess you cheat, just you wait! I chuckled. "Thank goodness that you all know half of what I am. Now, let's gather around for the game." I said excitedly, feeling a burning gaze on
