Sebastian:
She wanted as much as I wanted her. She felt the sa pull, and I could see it in her eyes. Then why was she pushing away?
One minute, she used to enjoy my company, and the next minute, a haunted look used to appear in her eyes. While getting ready, I kept thinking of her.
When I ca out of the dressing room, she was standing near the window, looking outside. I had this sudden urge to take her into my arms and kiss her senselessly.
I wanted to see her face. How did she look? Did she look like Aurora?
"Damn!" I muttered in frustration. Why couldn’t I forget her?
Phoenix must have heard , cursing under my breath, "Your Highness," She bowed her head, and that was annoying.
"Didn’t I ask you not to bow to ?" She must have smiled behind the mask, her defiance aid squarely at .
I was still tucking my shirt into my pants, the tie loose and hanging around my neck.
I wasn’t thinking straight anymore. The way her dress clung to her body like a second skin, showing every curve.
I stepped closer to her.
How to kiss her when the mask stayed on her face twenty-four seven. Didn’t she feel hot with it?
Her eyes t mine, and sothing flickered in them. She lifted herself onto her toes and reached for my tie. Her fingers brushed my collarbone, and I swear I forgot how to breathe.
"Forget about the party. Make love to her," My Lycan was again getting out of control.
She started tying the knot slowly. Her closeness, her scent, the warmth radiating from her skin, the way her boobs brushed lightly against my chest.
My Lycan was growling in approval, pushing to close the gap, just a little more.
"Will you accompany to the party?" I asked her, my gaze pinning her with quiet intent, already imagining her walking beside .
I was sure all eyes would be on her.
She smiled softly, tying the last loop of my tie, and then gently shook her head, "No. I want to join you people later."
As I picked up my jacket, I could feel the disappointnt creeping into my heart, but then it ant the party would be boring.
I would be looking forward to sothing... to the mont when she would walk in.
"That’s great," I leaned ahead and kissed her head, breathing her in for just a second, "I’ll wait for you. Beta Hunter will stay outside the door."
She blinked up at , clearly caught off guard. I didn’t bla her.
She might not be expecting it. Of course, it wasn’t a small gesture to get a Royal Beta standing outside, waiting for your further orders.
I smirked a little, "Don’t keep waiting, Phoenix," Goddess. I wanted to touch her. How would it feel to hold her boobs in my hands and...
"Sebastian!" my Lycan groaned, but I pushed it at the back of my head and turned on my heels to leave the room. Staying here, so close to her, might make do sothing reckless...
Like... like I needed to kiss every inch of her body.
***
Seated at the dinner table, surrounded by the Alphas and their Lunas, I realized sothing. I was missing her.
Though she was not much of a talker, I still wanted her beside and couldn’t wait for her to join during dinner.
Of course, I wasn’t a fool, nor was I blind. I could tell that sothing was off about the way she was acting lately. If I had to guess... it felt like revenge.
Tonight, most people, especially Tina and Granma, were pleasantly surprised. Reason?
Because tonight I was smiling more than usual. Nobody here knew the reason behind it, but Tina looked happy. I was responding to her teasing with a smile instead of brushing her off.
Even Luna Raya seed content, probably thinking that her friend was finally getting through to .
I kept glancing at the door, waiting for her to walk in.
"Your highness," The head warrior Kiara kneeled before joining Luna Raya and Tina. They were whispering sothing, and I could only hear a few words.
Sothing like, thankfully, our pack is cleaned.
I had this uneasy feeling. As if...as if they were talking about Phoenix.
"Where is Beta Hunter?" Kiara suddenly asked Tina, who seed to send a mindlink to Hunter.
"He is blocking my mindlink," Tina said with a pout and then ca closer to pull my sleeve, "Sebi. Please ask Hunter to join us. The dinner is about to start."
People were getting restless. Plates were clinking, chairs were being scraped.
"I’m starving," Alpha Brent, the neighboring Alpha, rubbed his hands, "Can we start already?" he wasn’t acting like an Alpha, and his Luna was busy staring at with open admiration.
"Let the Royal Beta arrive first," Luna Raya said while sipping her juice.
"I heard there is wine too," soone on the other end of the table said with a chuckle, "And then dancing as well."
"Count in," Granma chid in, making everyone laugh, "I might be old, but I can still out-dance most of you pups."
This was the perfect mont to send the mind link to Hunter, "Send Phoenix."
The waiters had started placing dishes, and the scent of roasted lamb, spiced potatoes, and grilled herbs filled the air.
And then my gaze went to Tina’s face. She had frozen mid-laugh, her eyes were wide like she’d seen a ghost.
Following her gaze, Raya and Kiara went still. Even Granma’s smile faltered.
"What the fu*ck!" Kiara whispered more to herself.
I tilted my head and followed their gaze. And that was when I saw her.
Phoenix.
With her back straight, chin slightly lifted, she walked gracefully inside the hall. A smile crossed my lips, and an odd thought crept up in my head.
Here cos my queen!
