For a checkpoint, he had to remind her several times before Ashley could pass. After playing some time, she suddenly put down her phone and lost her temper. "I don't play anymore." Jacob thought it was funny, "What's wrong?" "Have you ever played?" Ashley threw her cell phone on his lap and said, "This is so strange. You know where the clue is before I click on the next scene." Jacob picked up her mobile phone and said, "This game was developed by my company." Ashley didn't know anything about it, but he didn't even know what games he had created, and she was a little guilty.

Eve said. She came to sit close to him, and she took his hand in hers. She smiled. "I really love your shirt." Elvin grinned. "Thanks. I was scared it wouldn't be your size." "So, the game we are playing, was it like the kind you and Lisa played?" Eve asked. Elvin slightly shook his head. "No. Yours is more complex. More arranged. Filled with more deception and seduction." Everybody was a pawn in this game. The entire city was like a board game. If Elvin tried to flee from her, Eve would lockdown the entire nation, and she knew the right people to call.

I cut her babbling, crossing my hands over my chest. "No revenge. We will just play a game for fun. You will tease him by ignoring him like he does to everyone. He is used to getting a lot of attention, you know? So a sudden blow from a stranger beauty will definitely hurt his bigger than the sky male ego," she explained. "It's gonna be so fun seeing his expression when maybe for the first time in his life a girl would behave around him like he doesn't even exist!" I shook my head in disbelief. "Listen, I don't have any interest in him, and nor in this game. It's a very bad idea. I'm not gonna tease any Adrian Larsen because of your stupid revenge."

Courtesy of the ceremony, and not a single noise comes from any of us. We've been waiting at our post for a little while when someone comes and tells us the alpha and luna are both at the forefront of the ceremony. And that's when I hear it. Gun shots. My father's signal. He's already started. Now or never I suppose. We all start on our way, some in wolf form and some in human form with guns. We make it in time to see the chaos starting. Everyone is running everywhere. So much for a coordinated attack.

Gabriel POV I blink. How on earth does she know that? And as if she can read my mind, she splashes some water on me. "It's easy to read you, Gabriel. Let's start the game." Last time I checked, I'm an excellent poker player. I rub my face to clean my head from 'inappropriate fantasy' like she said. "Okay. What do you want to play?" "The game is called past tense." "Past tense?" "Yes. We're going to talk about our past. So it's called past tense."

He shook his head and tried to concentrate on the game he was working on. It was a first-person shooter game, one of the most violent that he’d designed so far. He was actually wondering if he’d maybe gone too far, but the focus groups had come back with more positive results than he’d expected. It seemed everyone had a little bit of vigilante in them. Who knew?

He drew diagrams in the air using shadows Amon shaped to his specifications, explaining the layers of code that governed Lenore's reality. "The game has three core functions," he explained. "Intent Accumulation, which gathers emotional energy from players and NPCs. Anomaly Generation, which converts Intent into physical manifestations. And State Resolution, which determines when the game ends and players return home." "State Resolution is what triggers when you die," I said.

And yet… she couldn’t forget the way his lips had felt, the way her body had betrayed he and--Damn it! Her phone buzzed again. ‘Keep going, honey. Remember all he’s done to you and never forget that your revenge is a must.’ Amira swallowed hard, her pulse hammering in her ears. Three months left. That was all the time she had to play this dangerous game. She turned the phone face down in her lap, forcing her expression into something neutral. The men were still talking about alliances, threats, and all things money-related but their voices blurred in her ears. All she could hear was the echo of Alessandro’s words.

I try to ignore it, forcing a smile. “Great,” I say, pulling my hand back quickly. I turn away before he sees the flush in my cheeks. This is a game. Just a game. And now, I’m finally playing.

Jenna's voice came from the kitchen and Bryan breathed. “Come out, it's a friend” Bryan said and immediately, Jenna appeared from the kitchen door. “Hi..” Jenna said, trying to speak in Alessia's voice. Stephen smirked.. “What?” she asked, raising a brow and Stephen cleared his throat. “We are in this together okay? You don't have to pretend" he said and she bit her lip shyly. “As fast as possible, you should wear this” He said further, bringing out a white box adorned with a suitable logo.
