Alessandra Benjamin: “My, Luna. Seamstresses have arrived.” Emma announced after closing the door behind her. I could not decide if I should tell her about last night’s warning note. “Is something bothering you, Sandra?” She held my cold hands. There was an unsettling feeling in her eyes. She and David used to be my best friends. But that was too risky to trust anyone. “I am all fine. Let’s go and pick out our dresses for the annual ball. After all, we are going to be the hosts.” I smiled rolling my lower lip between my teeth. She nodded and pushed me towards the door. “Are all the Omega females also there?” I confirmed Emma because I needed witnesses for whatever I was about to do after a few moments. When we reached the sitting room solely for my guests. There were piles of different colored gowns everywhere. The head seamstress came to me and bowed her head. “My Luna. According to the old tradition, you will pick up your dress first.” Twirling my hair strand around my finger

King Noah Ezequiel James:We reached the Silver Moon pack house around noon. The festivities were supposed to start in the evening. Right now they were busy settling the guests in their respective rooms. The moment we got off our cars along with our companions, there seemed a slight hustle. Were they panicked? Didn’t they know, I would be attending the ball?I hated disorganized events. As an Alpha King, I was not only taught how to fight on the battlefield but managing things had also been a part of my training.Thanks to my parents!Alpha Romeo came out to greet me with a faltered smile.This! There!I had always hated weak leaders in my life. Or maybe my parents had raised the bar quite high.“Welcome, King Noah.” He bowed to me along with the other people who were standing behind him. This is my Beta. Beta Russel. Gamma Hilton.” He was introducing his pack officials when a woman came out and stood beside him. The way she held his elbow was a telltale sign that she must be someone

King Noah Ezequiel James:I was sitting there with a bored expression. Alpha Romeo did try to accompany me along with his dull witted mistress.Her eyes had been ogling at me since we were introduced. Beta Lucas had been teasing me that she had fallen in love with me.Huh! In love? No!I would only love my mate. That emotion was only reserved for her. And after meeting her in that lake, my heart could not wait to claim her. To mark her.“I hope you are not getting bored, my King! Should I serve you something?” The woman who had been trailing behind Romeo appeared before me with a … seductive smile?Ah! The woman was irritating as hell. And the dress she was wearing was so cheap.Who wears such a skimpy dress in an official ball where your boobs are about to fall out and your thighs are not covered properly. Her matching yellow panties would peek out every time she used to move.I mind linked Lucas. [Why she is throwing these lousy excuses to talk to me? When her Alpha is there a few f

King Noah James:[Noah!]I received Lucas's mind link.[They are quite a boring lot. Please get done with the first dance and leave.]I knew he was getting bored by all of this political drama.It was something new for him. I never spent more than five minutes at the annual ball. Before becoming a king, I attended them as a prince. Even then my parents could not force me to stay there longerBut this ball was different. And after this silver-eyed beauty’s arrival, everything was not the same.The emerald dress she was wearing was hugging her curves like a second skin. It was emphasizing her ample brea*sts, narrow waist, and perky round ass. The dress down her ass was flowing down right above her ankles. Her hair was fixed in a chignon exposing her slender neck where I could see the mate mark given by her husband.She was wearing diamond tops with a delicate necklace. The moment she entered the hall, my heart had been racing in my chest. It was not able to digest the fact that she was

Alessandra Benjamin:It seemed I had been running in the forest throughout the night. I knew they were following me and I wanted to run away as far as possible.I was darting through the trees with supersonic speed.[Keep moving, Alessandra. You can do it, honey.]Carla! This was Carla’s voice in my head. Oh! How I missed her.[Where are you, Carla? I miss you so much.][I am right here, Alessandra. I miss you too. But don’t halt. Stop doubting yourself.]I kept running but this time there were happy tears in my eyes. Carla was with me.But…But something was missing. What was it?I was confused however, I kept running. I could not stop.[Keep running Alessandra. You are forgetting nothing.] Carla assured me and I decided to trust her. I just needed to keep them away from me. I needed to live.“Moo!” The child’s sweet voice made me stop dead in my tracks.[Alessandra. What are you doing? Keep running. They are coming after you.] But I could not move. The voice was so familiar.Painful
