"It would seem that you proceeded anyhow to carry out the activity that I strongly urged you not to carry out." As soon as I entered my room, I was greeted by a voice emanating from the direction of the bed that was both endearing and interesting."Damien!" I immediately closed the door behind me as I yelled out his name, and I waited for him to reply, but he didn't. "What business do you have in this part of town?" I inquired about this as I was occupying the space next to him on the bed."Of course, I've come to see how you're doing and make sure everything is going well! I've been calling you, but you haven't been picking up your phone. Why is that?" As he stares me down with his unblinking gaze, Damien lets out an agitated sound that I interpret as anger."Oh, you wanted to talk to me?" I immediately checked my phone, and sure enough, there were several missed calls on my end that were from him, exactly as he had said. "I'm sorry, but I wasn't able to pick up or answer your calls

As soon as Shane arrived downstairs, he was intrigued by the lovely young lady who casually sat down across from his Secretary. Shane's secretary was also unfazed by her presence.Shane's eyes briefly collided with the woman, but he swiftly shifted his look to avoid making eye contact. His heart skipped a beat as he looked into the beautiful and appealing green eyes of the lady. The young lady sat down in a sophisticated manner, and she fastened a black hair tie behind her back to hold her long, dark hair in place.Shane quickly turned to his secretary and inquired, "Who is here to see me?" to conceal the fact that he finds the woman quite interesting."Here she is, sir!" The Secretary gestured in her direction, and the young lady sprang to her feet to extend her greetings to Shane immediately."I'd like to introduce myself as Julie Andres. Good morning sir!" Julie smiled warmly and respectfully as she lowered her head ever-so-slightly to show her esteem for the person she was speaki

"Answer me, you wench!! Just who are you, exactly?" I was so enraged that I had to get to my feet before I could shout at her."I'm more terrifying than anything you could ever imagine!" She responded while she was still lounging in the chair in which she was seated. The sound of her laughing continued to reverberate throughout my space, and eventually, I became unable to take it any longer."Stop laughing!!" I let out a scream and immediately placed both of my hands over my ears to prevent the sound of her laughing from entering them. "Would you please refrain from doing that?"My eardrums were on the verge of rupturing from the very loud laughing emanating from the woman. Because the ache in my ears was getting intolerable, I clamped my eyes tight and screamed, "Leave me alone!"As I yelled at her, my voice reverberated, and the next thing I noticed was that there was complete and utter quiet everywhere. I cautiously opened my eyes to see whether she was still in the room with me or

"Can you fill me in on everything that's been going on down there?" Luna Catherine approached the maid who was standing in front of her and asked her questions. Then she turned to go sit on her bed.While already dressed for the engagement celebration, Luna Catherine was busy adding some makeup to her face before continuing with the preparations. She seemed to be enthusiastic about what she was doing and couldn't wait to complete what she was doing so that she could join everyone else downstairs at the party."Everything is going swimmingly at the party, ma'am; but, Alpha Derrick has not yet arrived." The maid responded while displaying a little amount of deference by bending her head ever-so-slightly."Really?" Luna Catherine was stunned as she glanced up at the maid and made a startled gasp. "However, there are already other Alphas in the room, right?" She enquired in a tone that conveyed a great deal of interest and enthusiasm."Yes, ma'am, the vast majority of them are down there

I fumbled through the words "S-sir Jethro" as I quickly averted my gaze to avoid making eye contact with him. "Why were you in there doing whatever it was that you were doing?" The question was posed by Sir Jethro while he was pointing in the direction of the basement. He appeared surprised and was interested in what I had to say, as evidenced by his facial expression. "Not a thing, Sir!" I responded while letting out a long, drawn-out sigh. I couldn't help but keep crossing my fingers and hoping that Damien wouldn't show up to wreck everything. As of right now, I have no idea how I will describe who Damien is to Sir Jethro if he emerges from the basement at some point in time. "Are you sure? Why do you appear confused, and why do you keep looking down at the basement as if you are expecting someone down there?" It was decided that Sir Jethro wished to investigate. I have no idea if I made it that obvious to him, but I am making a conscious effort to keep myself from getting worke
