How in this world is Valerian going to manage being married to two women. Strangely, Marita was dancing with Theodrin in a seductive way that looked more sexual than a normal dance. I saw Verin dancing with Dyelin, my Mistress of Spy but it seemed like Dyelin had something up her arse with the way she was moving. "You want to get out of here?" I suckled Isabel's earlobe and whispered.

I broke the silence. "What's your play if she goes through with it?" He paused for a beat. "I'll play along," he answered, his tone icy but his eyes betraying a flicker of something deeper. The night of the party, the Gilbert mansion was ablaze with lights. Disguised as one of the servers, I wove through the throngs of guests. Rosemary was the picture of elegance in her flowing white gown, her arm linked with Bradley's, her smile impeccable. Her hand, hidden in her pocket, gripped the vial tightly.

The whole dance room fell into silence. They both know that I also hold the 'principal dancer' position but every chance always in favor of Aliah that's why I end up as her shadow in the play. But this time, I won't let that happen. We need to play fair, I'm not gonna use Vicenzo as my white horse and I hope Aliah did the same thing. I already know what's happening inside the board room, she should at least prove to me her worth.

I sat across from him, untouched breakfast in front of me, nausea already building in quiet waves beneath my ribs. “For what?” I asked. “For alignment,” he replied, as if that explained everything. “Visibility reinforces position.” Position. Not happiness. Not family. Position. He glanced up briefly. “You don’t have to say much. Just be there.” Just be there. I nodded. The first event was small. Private. Controlled.

Rough, calloused hands gently held her chin, squeezing softly as to draw her timid gaze to meet his eyes; his long, slender thumb slowly caressed her bottom lip, prying her shut lips open as his thumb unexpectedly plunged into her mouth and slid over her tongue. She slowly sucked on his thumb, coating it with saliva wordlessly yet nodded her head in response, a deep blush overtaking her facial features. He hummed lowly in amusement, his eyes darkened with a deep, lustful gaze as he slowly removed his thumb from her mouth and then sucked his own thumb clean.

The diamond slipped from my pocket and skidded across the polished floor. No. No, no, no A hand reached down and picked it up before I could. Slowly… I looked up. And for the first time that night I felt something close to fear. He was tall. Composed. Dangerous in a way that didn’t need to be loud. His dark eyes locked onto mine like he already knew everything. A slow smirk curved his lips. “I had a feeling you’d show up,” he said calmly. “ The notorious jewel thief.” My stomach dropped.

Just knowing that irked me, but I kept my emotions in check as Nazhoni and her troop began to slowly sway to the beat. Soon, the women began to perform an intricate dance that involved swords that were handed to them by Rome and Catori. It was a dance that could be described as both delicate and strong as they slashed the swords through the air as if cutting down their opponents, but then whirled around where the bodies would lie on the ground. After they were finished, their swords were set ablaze, announcing another dance. However, I didn’t get to focus much on it as Arissa tensed and let out a muffled sob.

“You should wear the red jumpsuit from Oops!...I Did It Again, and then tear it off to reveal the sheer rhinestone outfit she wore at the VMAs.” “I’ve always wanted to do the Thriller dance,” Thea said. “Michael Jackson wears a red jacket in that one.” “Not the same as the red bodysuit.” Thea sighed. “Please?” the girls all whined together. “Okay. Fine.” “Good! We can have Doris make our outfits,” Lizzy said. Doris was a gifted seamstress in their pack. She never found her mate, never had children.

“You’re welcome to today’s occasion. I see we are all very excited to be here, please let’s settle down as the event will begin shortly. In a brief moment, please welcome the Nightfang dancers as they entertain us while we wait.” Applause erupted as he walked out of the stage allowing the dancers to come on.
