登入Ace:"How do I look?" Christina asked happily, showing off her purple dress.There was her, and then there was Holly.Holly kept things simple. She wasn't really into makeup or fashion.Christina, on the other hand, loved all of it.That was why it had hurt me so much when everything happened to her.It had crushed her free spirit for a while before she finally found herself again.Now I understood why.I had sat down with Rome and asked him how it had all started, and it seemed that was when my sister had started living her life again.That realization killed me. If I had said no to them, it would have crushed her.But at the same time, there were things I couldn't forget.For example, Rome had marked Fallon. What was he going to do about that?"Thank you," Christina said as Holly complimented her."You both look absolutely gorgeous," I said, smiling at them."And you look amazing too," Holly replied."Now come, let's go."They insisted that I walk with them, so I did.We were on the
Fallon:Lady Abigail let me pick a dress for myself, and I chose a burgundy one.I don't know why I've always had a thing for dark colors.The gown had a deep, draped cowl neckline and fit smoothly over my body, with a fitted corset that defined my waist.The bodice was covered in matching sequins, while the beaded shoulder straps and sheer off-the-shoulder sleeves, finished with dangling beadwork, framed my arms elegantly.The satin skirt wrapped neatly around my hips and opened into a thigh-high slit edged with beaded fringe, revealing just enough of my leg as I walked.Sheer chiffon panels flowed from the sides down to the floor like a train, adding movement without overwhelming the structured silhouette.With only a delicate bracelet and black heels, the dress felt complete on its own.She tied a few strands of my hair behind my head and left the rest loose, curling the ends slightly.She was the one who did my makeup.To be honest, if my own mother had treated me this well, I wou
Dahlia:All the arrogance drained from Fallon.The moment Lady Abigail's mood turned sour, she realized she was no longer welcome.I found myself wondering why an Alpha King's mother would be okay with her son flirting with a woman who had been rejected by her mate.People would naturally think that if Fallon's first husband had rejected her, there must have been something wrong with her.So I was happy.Fallon finally started walking toward the door.But then Lady Abigail stopped her.I realized Lady Abigail wanted to insult her now.That had to be it.After all, Fallon had wasted her precious time.So I smiled and turned to face Fallon, folding my arms across my chest."So, you're about to accept the rejection of your mate?" Lady Abigail asked.Fallon looked at me before turning back to her."Yeah. On this full moon," she replied softly."Actually, Fallon doesn't like talking about how her marriage fell apart, but Alpha Nathan was her husband," I said carefully.What shocked me was
Fallon:I'd been wondering all morning how my sister hadn't gotten in my way yet.There was no way I was going to get something without Dahlia reaching out for it too.The moment she walked in, I understood from the way she spoke.She was trying to embarrass me. She was trying to paint me in a certain light.But the weird part was that, this time, I didn't defend myself.The even crazier part was that I didn't have to.Lady Abigail was defending me pretty fiercely."Anyway, you have a very pretty collection."Dahlia, as ignorant as ever, still commented on the wardrobe.Her eyes glittered as she stared at every gown and dress.Lady Abigail had called her a gold digger and a materialistic person just seconds ago, yet Dahlia didn't hesitate to prove her right.Her fingers twitched as she ran them over a pink satin dress with a neckline covered in real diamonds."Thank you," Lady Abigail replied before looking at me with a smile."You can pick any dress from here," she said to me."Reall
Dahlia:I lingered nearby, listening to their conversation.I had seen Alpha King Cage care for Fallon and treat her very differently the night before.It was definitely something that needed attention.Fallon was a marked, married woman.Alpha King Cage, on the other hand, was single and one of the most powerful werewolves.He should not be wasting his time on someone like her."Did you see that? That's Alpha King Cage’s mother. And did you see how Fallon's behaving?"Nathan turned just long enough to say that before shaking his head and storming upstairs.But I wasn't going to go after him.I squeezed past the alphas, and headed straight for the small hallway where Lady Abigail had taken Fallon.I checked each door until I found what looked like her bedroom.When I approached it, I noticed the door was slightly ajar.She had opened her grand wardrobe for Fallon.It was unbelievable. Fallon, whom nobody gave a second glance to, was being treated with so much respect.Then it struck m
Fallon:"Actually, I'm not sure if you know this or not, but I'm an omega myself," I continued, noticing a slight frown form on Alpha King Eugene's face."I don't have a wolf," I added."Well then, how do you fight? I mean, in this world, where it's all about power and survival, how are you thriving?"Alpha King Eugene's voice was far more sarcastic than Josh's.Ever since I met Alpha King Josh, he hadn't really spoken to me that way.But now I was feeling the weight of an Alpha King as Eugene spoke."Alpha King Eugene, I don't mean to disrespect you, but you do know that, in this world, the ones with werewolves are actually at a disadvantage."As I said that, I made sure my voice was loud and clear.Everyone's eyes shifted to one another.I could tell I had hurt the egos of quite a few alphas.A few of them immediately stepped closer to me, their hands resting on the weapons at their waists.One of them had been standing close to me, but he suddenly stepped back.When I looked over,
Fallon:Flashback:I sat on the floor beside the bed, curled into myself with my arms wrapped tightly around my body.My stare remained locked on the ground, as if my dignity had been left there with the rest of me.“Don’t make such a big deal out of it.”Nathan stepped out of the bathroom with a to
Fallon:The instant it lunged at me, I stumbled back and slammed my foot against the door.The heavy door crashed into its face and knocked it backward.I did not waste the opportunity.I rushed inside with the piece of broken glass in my hand.The room was too cramped for a proper fight.Every move
Fallon:I slowly pushed myself off the road and brushed the dirt from my clothes, scanning my surroundings with panic building inside me.I didn’t know if the world had always been this terrifying.Maybe I had just never noticed it before. Back when my biggest concern was surviving another day as a
Fallon:“I’m not going down there,” I shot back before any of them could try talking me into it.All four of them mirrored each other, planting their hands on their waists as they lined up in front of me.Men, especially, always went after weakness the moment they sensed it.Cage lifted a brow, look
