She opened her mouth, but before she could an Omega ran to the end of the aisle. “Please stand and bow to his Majesty, King Rowan Lukos.” A hush fell over the crowd as Rowan stepped up to the end and held out a hand for a mask. His dark hair was ruffled in a way that had both of my wolves rumbling, and I had to fight to keep it inside. His shirt was partially open for everyone to see the mating mark on his neck, and there was another gasp that went through the crowd.

"The Masquerade of Sin is where we remind them why they fear the Blackwood name. Don't let the ghost win, Kai. Be the man in the tank." "The man in the tank was a prisoner." I drained the glass. The burn was a welcome distraction from the gold flickering at the edges of my vision. "I'm the one holding the keys." I stepped out of the dressing room and into the grand ballroom.

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 soft, black silk mask pressed comfortably against my skin, hiding the frantic, easily flustered CEO who had spent the day shouting about European tech holdings and debating the merits of vegetarian catering. Here, I didn't have to be the brilliant trillionaire heir to the Miller fortune. I didn't have to carry the pressure of thousands of employees on my shoulders. The mask was liberating in a way I'd never anticipated when I first joined.

Sicilia mentioned before that he did not like it as it’s itchy. Well, Sicilia felt the same, so she was not wearing hers as well, and no one could really force the Knights to do what they don’t want. If they wanted to go to a masquerade party without wearing a mask, then so be it. Alexander was wearing a black tux, and he looked like a Greek god. Maya had to hold her breath when they walked towards him. Alexander looked up to see his grandmother, who looked even more beautiful that night. His grandmother was with some other woman. She was wearing a mask, and he was not so sure who she was.

" Kim used the tea table to support her for stand up, knee already kneeling numbness and lose it strength. "Wait a minute." Arthur said in a low voice, "Your face is not ornamental. Put this on." He took a mask from his hand and handed it to her. The subordinates were surprised when they saw this. Master york gave his mask to such a dirty woman! Is there anything special about this woman? This mask is very similar to the one on Arturs's face. Kim didn't think much about it. After taking it, she put it on and limped to the front stage.

Jocelyn's throat tightened. "Your Majesty, I—" George's authoritative voice cut through the tension. "You are a meritorious subject. I grant you permission to keep your mask on." Before Jocelyn could express her gratitude, the opposing official spoke again. "Your Majesty, with his face hidden, how can we be sure he is truly Stanley?"

A glass of wine dangled lazily from one hand, like he was bored and just waiting. Four others lounged around the room, each in their own chair, each wearing a mask. One had a goat helmet that looked a bit too lifelike. Another wore a sleek, almost feminine cat mask. One had an elephant mask, trunk and all, too wide for the chair back. And a dog, with pointed ears and glassy eyes. None of them spoke as Luca entered, but he felt their gazes on him.
