The moment I climbed the stairs, I wore the mask so the secret CCTV wouldn’t capture my face. Hence, the mask feels like a second skin, hiding my true identity but not my seething emotions. Closing my eyes and tracing the direction of the moans, I reach the right door and place my ear on it, my heart hammering in my chest.

His words were a permission slip, a quiet reassurance that I was in control of how far I went. The week that followed was a slow burn of anticipation. I found myself thinking about the masquerade constantly, about what it would feel like to be on stage, to be the focus of attention. I had to choose a mask, a new persona to hide behind.

I know you hate for people to see you around places like clubs that is why I feel you will be okay with this one wearing a mask.

And tonight, they’ll protect you.” She tilted her head, eyes narrowing. “You’re not putting one on?” I laughed under my breath, dark and amused. “No, sweetheart. I don’t need to hide.” Her lips parted like she might press further, but I caught her chin in my hand, tilting her face toward mine. My thumb traced her jaw, firm, slow. Her skin was warm beneath my touch, soft as sin.

The members here were the city's most powerful—CEOs, politicians, celebrities—all shedding their identities like winter coats. I leaned back against the plush velvet cushions of a semi-private alcove, my fingers loosely tracing the rim of my glass.

The mask was liberating in a way I'd never anticipated when I first joined.

"If I were you, I'd cut and run the first chance you get." Moisture filled her eyes like lagoons. It wasn’t that she was sad, more like she was too darn proud to admit that I was right. This wasn't who she wanted to be, and rightly so. The bottle blonde, slutty clothing, and heavy makeup were all a mask to hide the real version of herself. One way or another, we all hid behind a vizard to guard ourselves. Even at ten years old, I wore mine well.

" It's real, I chuckled, you are my Luna. That’s not what I meant. Did you let go of the past? Because the way you look at her… Hannah, I told you the truth; I was honest about everything…You decided to stay with me. I want you, as my fated mate and Luna. She smiled. Just making sure you’re not stuck in the past. I was, I will always be, but she didn’t know that. No one will ever know, and the mask I put on will be there until the day I die. Each day, I practice wearing it, letting smiles and reassurances cover up the storm beneath. To everyone else, I am the strong Alpha, devoted to Hannah, steady and whole. Yet the mask is heavy, making my laughter sound a little forced, my promises feel

The mask of John was not just a disguise; it was a symbol of my rebirth, a shield that would deflect his sinister intentions and reveal the truth he so desperately tried to bury. I refuse to be a pawn in his game any longer. The mask that concealed my true self also fortified my determination, a reminder that I was more than just a victim of his treachery. I was a force to be reckoned with, a storm gathering strength and waiting to strike back with a vengeance.

It reminded me of the reason I needed to remain hidden, the reason I killed my foster parents in the first place. I rushed to my room, slid into my vengeance suit, and a shiny shoe as normal, my mask was officially on. I was ready to play a good citizen again. I arranged my black tie, making sure it fits perfectly. What's a better way to celebrate a burial other than setting a crime later. I'm coming for you, Rebecca, I'm coming for you. Soon his house greeted me welcome, and here the difficult part of the plan came but I was beyond fear now, almost completely reckless. I had almost forgotten my fingers. I shouldn't be sloppy now, not when I'm closer to framing him, not now.
