ALICE My breath came in hitched when I jumped back into the auditorium. I tried not to look bothered. It was difficult. Considering there were a few blue plates I could sight. Matthan even had one in front of him. My eyes scattered across the room like an advanced computer. On one hand, I was telling myself that maybe the effects of the Aphrodisiac were slow, but I chose to ignore the swiftly changing atmosphere of the room. How the once before prim and proper guests were now doing stuff. Hands under skirts. Kisses lefts and right. Goddess, it was happening. When I made it to our table. My heart sank. Declan wasn't in his seat and his plate was empty. He wasn't kidding when he said he was hungry."Where is Declan?" I asked my mom."He followed you out. Did you not see him?"Of course, I did not see him. I had been hiding from the entire world under a staircase. The probability that he had passed and I didn't even see him was highly plausible. My hands were shaking as I began thinkin

ALICE I went back to the party with one goal in mind. The last grab at a future. At happiness and all I needed to get it done was one bottle of champagne and two flutes. When I returned to the auditorium, half of the crowd has disappeared. Probably doing goddess knew what but that was good. An even better turn of events was that my parents and Declan's were no longer in their seats. I waited for the Omega girl to arrive before putting my plan into motion. We walked together. My stride was a little faster as was planned so I got to the table first. As fate would have it, the Crow couple weren't on seats too. My eye caught another blue plate not to far from where they were seated prior."Matt," I began, ignoring how lost he looked staring at Eloise. The Aphrodisiac seemed to have already taken effect because Matt looked like he was on cloud nine and maybe considering gobbling Eloise up. "Can we talk?""Alice?" He replied. There was no emotion behind his voice. He didn't even look at me.

MATTHAN I felt weird. I was happy but not happy, I just couldn’t put my finger on it. It felt nice to be without doubt or fear. There had to be something in the drink Alice had given me. But that didn't matter now. Alice didn't matter to me anymore. I needed to find Eloise. Her scent stood out amidst the others my nostril caught. It had to be the tomato soup and her body heat. My feet automatically moved towards it, following the scent. I went up the stairs and eventually made it to a hall at the innermost part of the mansion. It was where all the guest rooms were located. Her scent only seemed to get stronger as I walked past a few doors. She was close. Finally, I stopped at one of the doors. The scent was coming from inside. That could only mean she was here, in this room. So I knocked quietly."Eloise, Are you in there?" I asked."Yes." There was no mistaking her voice for anyone else's. "The door is opened." She told me.I smiled. "Alright, well I'm going to come in."I s

DECLAN The sun blinding my barely open eyes was what woke me up. That and the terrific headache that assaulted my brain. I groaned softly, trying to ease myself off of the bed. The soft cushioning beneath my ass felt oddly alien. I opened my eyes fully and tried to observe my surroundings. It appeared that I was in someone's bedroom. I couldn't remember who though. After taking note of the dark blue comforter covering me and the plush pillows around me, it dawned on me that I had woken up in the arms of another man. Literally. The plush pillows were his arms. Clay Carter's arms. I lifted the comforter and took a peek because if I was in his house and his bed, that would only mean something had transpired. I was butt naked. I looked at him. His eyes were still closed. A smile played across his lips as if he was dreaming about something pleasant. His hair was disheveled, but it suited him rather well. But most intriguingly, his skin was pale yet tanned. I found myself staring as I r

ELOISEA gentle kiss on the forehead woke me up from a fitful sleep. I rolled over and opened my eyes, blinking slowly at the figure in front of me. Matthan stood there, holding a mug filled to the brim with coffee, smiling warmly.“Morning!” he said cheerfully. “I made you breakfast, but if you don't want it now we can eat later. You look like hell, but I think you need this more than anyone else around here right now.” He held the mug out for me so I could take a sip. I smiled, taking it. I looked around me and noticed I wasn't in the guest room anymore. This was Matthan's room."You used the Teleportation rune?" I asked."Yes. You were pretty much unconscious then so I thought I didn't need to wake you up."“Thank you.” I took another sip. It felt nice. I had been terrified prior if I was being honest. The post orgasm clarity was something I didn't want to come but at the moment I couldn't feel anything except a dull ache behind my temples and the peace of mind that comes after ha

ELOISE The ride back to Ashlake was quiet. There was no one to talk to since I was the only one in the car and the butler was much too focused on the road before him to pay me any mind. The radio played softly in the background while I listened and looked outside the window at the scenery. We were about 30 minutes into our trip, so I could tell that we would have plenty of time to stop to do something fun like go shopping or eat out.After what seemed like hours in silence, my phone finally rang. I looked at the caller ID this time and I couldn't help but smile when I realized it was my mother. I answered and said hi to her. “Mom!”“Eloise, dear, you sound happy. Where are you now? Did you have fun at the retreat? You are close right? Met any boys?” My mom bombarded me with questions. I missed them and how they used to get on my nerves. Now, they are just part of the soundtrack of life that made my heart feel good.“I didn't meet any boys there, Mom, although I did reconnect with an o

ELOISEI don't think I was able to cry. The numbness overpowered all my other senses. It was like an out-of-body experience where you could see it all happening but there wasn't much you could do about it. I dreaded what was to come. I dreaded passing by the sign welcome to Ashlake and eventually getting home. By the time we arrived, I could already hear the wails of sirens and the chatters of passersby. No miracle was happening. I looked outside the car window and that was when the numb feeling exploded into something I knew like the back of my hand. Men dressed like paramedics carried a big black bag from the house as they loaded the body inside the ambulance."It's not real," I told myself, and how I wished that were true. What I would have done to let that be my truth."Miss, there is–" I didn't even let the butler finish before I opened the car door and stepped outside."Tell Orla that I am grateful for everything she has done for me." I managed to say while holding my tears. Tha

ELOISELike clockwork, the door unlocked and out of it appeared Matthan. It was a strange thing to admit but seeing him made things a bit easier."Your place or my place?" He asked."No one will be barging your place anytime soon," I replied. At least, that wasn't a lie.True." Matthan took my hand and led me towards the door. I looked back at my room one last time. There was a possibility this was the last time I was going to see it. I had been afraid of telling myself that since I had made the Carter home my home but now that it was happening, I wasn't so scared anymore. I looked forward, trying not to think about what could go wrong. We both walked through the door and I shut it. Now wasn't the time to think. I needed to act. I knew Matt would ask questions. Many I wouldn't want to answer and the last thing I wanted was to recruit him to die along with me so before those questions could leave his pretty mouth, I grabbed him by the shirt and kissed him hard on the lips.He was taken
