The phone rang brightening Vevina’s mood at once. Picking it up at the first ring she answered, “Yes, Yaretzi speaking.”“Good evening ma’am, there is a man here claiming to have been invited to the penthouse, can we ask Mr. Tynen if he gives his permission or not?” the lady at the helpdesk asked Vevina.“Just send him up,” Vevina said, understanding that it must have been Margo’s boyfriend.“Sorry ma’am for safety reasons we cannot do that,” the lady hesitantly said, angering Vevina. What did they mean? She was this close to getting her revenge so who were they to stop her.“Do I need to remind you who I am? I am sure you understand my status by the mere fact that I live in the same penthouse as Alastor,” she said purposely using his first name to show her superiority unlike all the employees who were forced to call him respectfully by his surname.That made the worker nervous, unable to make a decision now. According to Mr. Tynen, she wasn’t allowed to let anyone in unless instructe

“Don’t think this means that you escaped your punishment,” Alastor said in a grim voice. His countenance now changed completely. He couldn’t just let go of the fact that Vevina had tried to go to another man even if it meant that she was only trying to spite him out of her jealousy.With the two chess pieces dead in their game he could finally focus on her and make her understand how she was to behave now that she was with him. That she only belonged to him.“What do you mean?” Vevina asked not really minding the punishment knowing well enough that she usually liked them all.“You will have to wait and see but first let’s get that man’s stench off your body. You stink!” Alastor grimaced, making a face causing Vevina to lift her arm to her nose and take a sniff. To her she didn’t smell any different but playing along with whatever Alastor wanted to do she let him carry her into the bathroom.“I am going to scrub his touch off your body but before I do that we have to clean your mouth.

“You seem in a good mood Alpha,” Jax commented, staring at Alastor’s face that was smiling mindlessly at his name plate kept on his table. Who would have thought that the woman who had been swinging it around in hatred had finally been accepting that she loved him.“If you guess what it is then I’ll let you go on a paid date with your mate tonight,” Alastor said, making Jax perk up at the offer. He had wanted to meet his mate for a long time now and to be given this chance was something that he didn't want to give up.Thinking through it. He noticed that Alastor’s happiness was different than anything he had ever seen before. It was almost as if the scary ruthless alpha had been replaced by a Shakespearean fool who had nothing to worry about in this world.“It must have something to do with Luna, did she finally accept you?” Even as Jax suggested this he knew that it wasn’t the case. His Luna had been a difficult person so if she had really mellowed from inside and accepted Alastor th

“No, you are not crazy,” Alastor said about to take a step forward towards her but seeing the expression of wonderment, confusion and wariness on her face, he sighed and stayed put, “Please brace yourself for what you are going to see next.”He said and then taking a deep breath in he closed his eyes and opened it again when Vevina saw that they were once again pitch black. She wanted to ask what was the trick that he was using to do it when she saw that Alastor’s hands that had been hanging on both his sides slowly started shaking. The nails elongated along with the fingers as hair sprouted out covering his wrist and the rest of it slowly started looking more and more like that of a beast’s arm. The same happened with his legs as his shoeless feet poked through the socks that he had been wearing and sharp claws came in the light forming further into the hind legs of an animal.Bringing her wavering gaze to his face in disbelief she saw that his face had almost been covered in fur too

“Are you serious you brought me here?” she asked, looking around wondering how she should react.“Yes, since we are together now then I thought we should officially go on a date, don’t you like it?” Alastor asked, making her look around at the carnival that she was standing in.There were people all around her looking happy and joyous but there was a pricking in her heart that was making it difficult for her to decipher how she was to feel.She had never been at a carnival before. Her mother had never bothered to take her to one even when she had pleaded with her to. She had therefore abandoned that desire completely and forgotten about such a place. She wondered if she was sad about her childhood but knowing that she was in a way disobeying her mother’s wish by being present there was giving her some clarity and with every passing moment she seemed to love her surroundings more.“Of course I do, it’s my first time here!” she cheered doing a full spin to take in everything. “I didn’t
