Rieka put another arrow on the string and drew it back with the bow string, aiming at the dartboard. She held her breath and released the string and smiled triumphantly when it hit the red circle perfectly. She took another arrow, placing it carefully on the string. "Hey." Her brows raised, she wasn't expecting to be disturbed. She looked at the source of the familiar voice. "Hey Ralph." She greeted, aiming at the dartboard again before releasing the arrow. "You know, you don't need this." He folded his arms, letting his brows raise in a small quirk. "Hmm?" Rieka arched her brows, grabbing another arrow. "Well, I just love archery. It's way easier to kill, with less blood." "Hmm." Ralph kept his gaze on her as she aimed at the dartboard. "There's something about the human female." "Fuck." Rieka cussed when she missed her shot. "We're not gossiping about the alpha's mate, are we?" She arched her brows at him questioningly. "I think there's more to her." Rieka dropped the bow on t

Amelia stood in the middle of the room, frozen. She stared down at her feet in embarrassment. God! Why didn't she look around? What the hell was she even thinking coming into the meeting hall. That must be the reason he was calling her. Trying to make her stop. Oh god! How foolish she was. But why? Why does she have to embarrass herself. Amelia swallowed the heavy lump in her throat before speaking. "I'm s-sorry." She apologized very quickly and scurried out of the room, not daring to look up. Amelia let out a loud wail, falling down unto her bed. Oh! Why does the heavens hate her? They should have warned her? Stupid courage. Look where courage landed her. God! Amelia groaned into the bed, still feeling highly embarrassed. How's she ever gonna be able to step out of her room. Right now she wish she'd just die. She's never ever going to ever step into that meeting hall. Never again! How's she going to face Sebastian? She can't avoid him. Amelia let out a cry, hitting her

"What are you doing here?" They both froze on hearing the familiar voice. Hell! How did they not smell him? Rieka and Ralph stared wide eyes at each other, knowing they've been caught. They turned around slowly, sighting him standing by the door, leaning against it. "Alpha king." They bowed their head, looking down at their feets. They were caught red-handed. Sebastian walked into the library with his hands crossed behind him, standing close to them. "What were you two doing?" His brows knitted into a frown as he stared at the old brown book on the table. "Alpha... We were... Just.." Rieka twisted her fingers together, stuttering helplessly. God! Why were they so careless? But it wasn't their fault, he hid his scent. Damn! What is she going to tell him? "We're really sorry alpha king. We shouldn't have come here in the first place." Ralph apologize calmly. He was obviously the one who wasn't really bothered about the alpha king, finding about it. Sebastian stared at them for a

Amelia let out a small gasp, her eyes wide open in shock. She stayed frozen for a few seconds before disengaged her lips from his and shook her head a little starting to get up. "Uhm.... I.. sorry... I'm... I'm... I'm sorry!" Amelia apologized quickly before scurrying off. Running all the way to her room. She rushes into her room and bolts the door, resting her hand on it as she pants heavily. What the hell was that? Amelia moves away from the door and walked into the room, sitting on the bed. It was an accident. Yes! An accident. But how was an accidental kiss suppose to ignite feelings in her. Weird foreign feelings. Why was she almost longing for the kiss to continue? That big frowny face guy must surely have something that might be drawing her to him. It must be charm. Because she hasn't felt this way for any other person. No one has ever woken such feelings in her. Feelings that comes like a tornado. She shook her head to get rid of those thoughts and stood up fr the bed hea

"What's in that bag?" Amelia asked, pointing at the bag laying on the ground. They had successfully chosen a suitable dress and mask for the festival and were preparing to leave. "Oh that! Oh my god. We almost forgot one important thing." Kalani rushed to bring the bag. "These are shoes." "Oh my god. I can't believe we forgot about that." Rieka brows raised in surprise. "Come on, bring it. Let's check it out." Kalani brought the bag to the bed, bringing out some of the shoes. "That." Amelia pointed at one. "Let me see it. It's so perfect." She smiled up at Rieka. "It suits the dress perfectly." She stared at the light yellow glittery shoe in her hand. She took it to her leg and wore it, smiling as it fit perfectly. "I'll take this. Thank you for your time." "Yeah, you're welcome." Kalani answered, putting the rest of the shoes into the box, with the help of Mirabel before they both took their bags and exited the room. "Woof!" Rieka plopped down to the bed, letting out a tired sig
