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.
"You...how...., Oh f*ck it! I'm so happy for you!", David yelled as he pulled Alice into a hug.Despite the emotional rollercoaster she was having, Alice forced herself to smile brightly but she had forgotten that nothing could escape the eyes of David when it comes to her mood. ""T..thank you"."Ugh... what's wrong? You don't look.as happy as I am", David questioned.Alice sniffed and forced a laugh;"I'm just so happy", Alice answered but David could tell she just told a blatant lie but he chose not to probe further."Okay, we have to celebrate!", David cheered. The atmosphere which was beginning to get awkward immediately tuned down."Celebrate? I thought you said there was going to be a pack party this night. I don't want to be beaten again", Alice winced. Ad soon as she said this, David felt bad. He knew one's pain couldn't be taken away. If only he had not forced her to do what she did, would she be free? He mumbled but still had a bright smile on his face. "Then let's get the party started!", He cheered and before Alice could comprehend what was happening, David had began driving in the speed of light. Not wanting her head to bump into anything, Alice immediately wore the seatbelt. An hour later, they arrived at the well known mall among the elites. Alice had no time to think as she was suddenly pulled out of the car. She had no time to protest and quietly allowed herself to be pulled like a kid by David. She knew there was no way out of this so she went along with the flow.As soon as they stepped into the section that consisted of female clothes and accessories, one of the attendants bowed to David and secretly glared at Alice. Alice paid no heed to this cause there was no use in arguing.David, the fashion Lord was oblivious to all of this. His eyes was trained on a a n exquisite red gown hung at the far end of the shop. Before the attendant was able to make small talks with David, he had began walking towards the gown while pulling Alice along.Few minutes later, Alice gasped in awe as she stared at her current image. She didn't expect the gown to fit so perfectly. It was like a second skin on her body. It was a v shaped, off shoulder knee-length gown that had a flaey cut at the bottom. The neckline was adorned with diamonds that shone brigtly in the sun. Afraid of moving hastily not to make the cloth tear accidentally, Alice shakily stepped out of the dressing room.Meanwhile David who paid no heed to the giggling ladies and buried his head on his phone perceived Alice's scent and knew she was out of the changing room. He turned off his phone and held onto it tightly before rising to his feet and stared ahead.The next second, a short but sharp 'thud' was heard. David's phone had miraculously found its way to the floor and David stared open mouthed at the bessuty before him. Even without make up, she was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. Her pale skin matched in comparison with the red gown. Her hair was still neatly held tightly in a bun, her full but thin eyebrows were drawn together in a frown, her eyelashes blinking repeatedly; making her look like a seductress, her small button nose which was a deep red in color due to her current shyness, her small, red lips formed to a pout. His eyes raked down her body and he had to avoid gulping. She had curves to die for, her chest was thrice the size of his palm."Da.. David, how do I look?", This question made him snap out of his daze and he faked a cough."Well, in my opinion, you look so-so", David replied with a straight face and Alice had to resist smacking him in the face. She knew anytime he said this, others reaction would be more than expected so she didn't believe a thing he said.""We'll take this one. Pack it up with those shoes", David ordered nodding at the attendant who had been trying to get his attention but he pretended to be oblivious to it.Alice changed into her former clothes immediately. She watched as David also bought clothes for her mother, brother and for himself. She had tried protesting but her efforts had been in vain.Minutes later, Alice was dragged to a salon. She had no say in whatever David was up to.Three hours later, Alice had undergone a make over. Her hair was shiny and was curled at the tips.Alice was about to tell David's head off when he announced that their nest stop was the coffee shop. Alice couldn't be any happier cause as at now, food was her main priority. Night time came and Alice was now in the room she shared with her mother and brother. She had arrived later than usual cause David had refused to drop her off early. Now, she was facing the query of her dear mother."Mum..." Alice began but was cut off by the angry Mother Theresa."Don't mum me, where have you been? You never come this late", she questioned and Alice sighed deeply. It was all that d*mned best friend's fault.Just as she was about to give an intangible excuse, a loud knock was heard in their room.Josh stared at his mother and sister while shaking in fear. The only people who knocked on their door that way was none other than the pack members and whenever they did, they always ended up being beaten or lashed out at."Hey sickos, the Alpha seejs your attention at the party".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
