He was calm, too calm and I wonder what was going on in his head. Sparkle's head lifted, and her red-rimmed eyes bored into mine. “What is she doing here?” She yammered. “It's her fault y'all know. She invited the demon in, killed mom, and made them take Gemma away.” She seethed. It was true I had invited Liam in. He had been standing by the entrance and acting all weird, but I didn't know this would happen.

"There is a plot against at least four of the kingdoms, it's not safe for you to leave. I don't think I could survive if something happened to you." I sat in stunned silence. I had only met this man the night before and even with every fiber of my being feeling as if I needed him, I couldn't wrap my mind around what he was saying. "The summit will be in two weeks, until then, you remain here, where I can keep you safe. If you wish, you can return to the Water Kingdom with your father once the summit has ended."

You go for me.” “That would be rude,” I replied. “Then you can go with me. Otherwise, I might lose it right there.” I shook the invitation in my hand. “This is a red invitation.” Red invitations mean only the invited person can attend. Silver allows three guests, gold allows ten.

Chapter 81 Cass “How many have arrived?” I ask. “Three so far, but by the looks of it, it seems as if it will be more,” Victor replies. “How did this happen?!” “I have no idea. No one that I know of has mailed invitations on our behalf.” He holds an invitation card out for me to see. I take it and examine it. It looks like a legit invitation telling them that they are invited to a feast in our pack with the pretense of a neutral council afterward—and it even has the seal of neutrality.

Evelyn stared at it for a long moment where it sat on the marble kitchen island. Khalid had left before dawn again, his side of the bed cold and untouched. A single note scribbled on company stationery lay beside her coffee maker: *Busy week. See you tonight? – K*

Two lucky bastards. I reached out for the handle just at the same time as he did and our hands brushed. The little contact was enough to send jolts of electricity through my skin. I paused, letting my fingers slip back as our eyes met. His gaze was a deep shade of unreadable but intense chestnut. Liam pushed the door open and stepped inside without a word. I stayed at the threshold watching him settle in with amusement. He turned, brow slightly raised as if wondering why I hadn’t followed. I tilted my head and asked with a drawl, “Won’t you invite me in, prince?”

My blood drips onto the parchment as I sit at my kitchen table, staring at the neat script across the thick paper. “You are cordially invited to the engagement celebration of Alpha Victor Blackthorn and Luna-elect Lara Blackthorn.” The words blur before my eyes. My stomach twists so violently that I have to put the invitation down before I tear it in half. I stare at the words in disbelief, pulling my cut finger between my lips. The party is tonight.

It was stunning. Everyone was being ushered to their seats and speaking amongst themselves. Not everyone could attend, but the venue was large enough to hold two-thirds of the pack. “Attention,” I called out. Everyone immediately dropped their conversations and turned towards me, first deferring their gazes to show Tyre and me respect before looking back up. “Tonight, we gather in this beautiful venue for a very joyous occasion. I recently found my fated mate, and tonight she will take her official place by my side as Luna of Nightshade!” I called out proudly.

“Oh. Why?” “Let’s see. There are just some coincidences that don’t add up about you, you know. For instance, I trusted you to handle the invitations to my party, and made it very clear that Dominic Fitz was not to he invited but somehow he found his hands on an invita.” “That….that was a coincidence.”

He introduced and I smiled at them. “Hello I am Hazel Watson.” they all passed a warm smile, except Ruby? What's wrong with her expressions? Well nevermind. “Let me introduce you to my college time best friend. Come with me.” he again dragged me, this guy can't he walk Normally? We walked towards a corner where I could see the back of a tall guy who was busy on his phone. “Alan” Liam called out and he turned around, is he for real? He looks like a piece of art.
