บททั้งหมดของ Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Benedict’s eyes turned to slits. I knew he was annoyed so to annoy him more, I smiled at him. Alpha Calix chuckled softly in my ear. Though before Benedict could come up with a retort, a feminine laugh resounded on the entrance of the hall.I turned my head to see who it was and saw Calix’s relatives, his Aunt Roselle and her daughter, Sophie. When they spotted Florence and William, they immediately walked over us.“What a grand celebration this is, Florence,” Roselle said, looking around with her rogue colored lips curving up. When she noticed Calix, she parted her lips, but when she noticed me, she shut it and furrowed her brows. “I thought you won’t attend, Calix.”“I want Loraine to meet Florence,” Calix replied.Giving me a final look, Benedict excused himself before walking out of the group. I kept glaring at his back until I couldn’t see him.“You’re not engaged for long, cousin. You shouldn’t be bringing her over important occasions. Who knows you’d get tired of her tomorrow o

We returned to Seattle the next day. It was a long flight and I used the time I had to ponder about some things.I clearly understood now what Calix wanted me to do. For me to be his puppet and obey all his whims in disguise of helping me ruin Benedict. But if I blindly follow his every command, wouldn’t it be not my revenge but his? And at the end of the day, what would I become? A trash at his disposal. Which didn’t sound good to me.He had his plans, but I should have my own too. I couldn’t just rely my goals to someone who wouldn’t think twice of killing me if I made a mistake. I should have my own direction.That was why I came up with a plan myself.I couldn’t just let that Lucius Voss control me. If honey trap was his way of luring Benedict to his web, then I would use that same tactic to him.Seduction. I looked over the window of my room, pacing back and forth, thinking how I could possibly fool two men at the same time. Not just ordinary men but devil alphas.It would surel

“Come back here,” Alpha Calix said seriously. There was no mockery nor playfulness in his tone.I went closer to the mirror and put my hand on it to see if I could get through it but I only touched its surface like a glass. I tried to break it with two fists but I couldn’t.I thought I was dreaming? If someone could tell he was dreaming in his dream, then that could be lucid dreaming. And weren’t lucid dreams supposed to be easy since you could take control of whatever’s happening around you? Besides, wolf shifters’ minds were stronger than humans. It was rare for us to have such nightmares where we are trapped and powerless like this.Could it be that I never got back to the manor and got trapped inside the mirror in the maze? After all, the last thing I remembered, I went close to the mirror and felt like I was being pulled by a strong force before everything went black.“Get out of that fucking mirror, Loraine,” Calix ordered once again as if he couldn’t see me trying to get out. B

The rumbling of the sky made me jolt from a shallow sleep. A flicker of lightning flashed across the garden before drops started to fall. I looked up, my face getting wet by the light rain that gradually turned heavy.Hugging my knees, I put my chin above it. It was unbelievably cold that I could feel myself shivering. My clothes got soaked but I couldn’t stop thinking how a person just died because of me. I knew Alpha Calix's evil nature was to blame but I admit I was at fault too. If I didn’t let my curiosity over something obviously dangerous take over me, I couldn’t have been sucked by the mirror.I remembered something like this happened back when I was young. I had this friend, Sasha, whom I really liked. I was ten and studying at the town’s school for wolf shifters. Dad had always reminded me to never go near the town’s borders, but one time, Sasha asked me if I could come with her at the riverbank near the border to look for her mom’s necklace she dropped when she went there w

The sun had risen but the sky remained gloomy as the remnants of the heavy rain last night were still evident. Heading downstairs, I heard voices which didn’t belong to the maids. It didn’t take me long to know where the unusual noise came from. It was from Alpha Calix's Aunt Roselle and Sophie.“You, put that vase over there,” Roselle instructed the maid while the others were too busy obeying her whims to even notice me. Sophie was sitting on the long sofa, scrolling on her phone.As I stopped at the second to the last stair, the older woman drifted her gaze to me. Her lips tugged up a bit but her narrowing eyes didn’t leave her annoyance unnoticed.“You woke up late, dear Loraine. Sophie and I didn’t wait for you for breakfast. I hope you don’t mind,” her tone was quite friendly and I must say she had good acting skills. Maybe she joined the theater too? Or maybe did some acting lessons. No doubt she would make a good actress.“Of course, I don’t, Mrs. Voss,” I said, assuming that h
