Chapter 404: The Enagement Party {2}

My very five senses came to light as if I was blind, deaf, and dumb throughout the rest of the evening, and finally gained insight.

What the fuck is she doing here?

Catching the attention of every werelion in the room as her intoxicating scent blossomed like an irresistible drug around the room. I didn’t know what got to me first... the anger or hunger slowly and terribly building within me ready to explode.

Maybe both.

She’s dressed in a gold slender gown, with a cut right at the front that stopped mid-thighs, showing her milky thighs, with a visible thigh chain. Her hair was left to fall over her shoulders in a heavy curly wave and simple long chain earrings. She barely has any visible makeup but her lips were covered in some nude lipstick that made her lips look kissable or worse luring every damn werelion in this hall, taunting them with that tight body of hers, that gown sticking to her body like a second skin and with each movement, it showed just how endowed she is.

Fuck...

Fuck.

Fuck!

"Alex!"

I darted my angry eyes to Isabella with a pissed look. "What is she doing here?"

Ignoring her question I turned my eyes back to the stairs but she wasn’t there, my eyes had never searched for someone so fast before and I found her helping herself to a champagne glass ignorant to the eyes around her.

She’s like a fucking beacon!

In a heartbeat, she locked gaze with me and there was a dark emotion in her eyes I couldn’t explain, her green eyes held something so lethal that only I could dance with.

She’s here for trouble and I know just exactly what she would do to instill trouble.

I was about to go to her but a hand on my arm stopped me.

"Alex"

"You think I invited her?!" I snapped.

"Then you should get her, remove her"

"And make a scene?"

She let me go and it was a breath of relief for her constantly trying to cling to me. "Fine... she wants to be here so be it. That is it... just be here" She turned and walked away and I let my gaze find Emmaline again now engaging in a talk with Diana.

I took a chug of my drink not blinking once, the whole attention had died but there were secret gazes. Looks of disgust, lust, hatred, confusion... it was never ending but I was on the verge of nailing every male’s eyes fixated on her.

Seems like I didn’t scare her enough last time, because here she is in that tight dress I wanted to rip off her body and wearing my mark proudly.

There was a tight sensation in my chest and it was getting harder to breathe without blowing steam from my nose with the amount of heat accumulating in my body. My aura is growing darker by the second and If I don’t control it I will suffocate everyone here without a second thought.

What is she planning?

As if sensing the storm coming for her we locked gaze again but this time her attention wasn’t on me but on Dan beside me, he must be giving her a look of hate no doubt just as everyone here because she immediately turned her eyes back to Diana.

I chugged the last of my drink and gave it to the passing waiter and was about to instill wrath without worrying about causing a scene here.

I need to know her game.

"Alex it’s time for our vow" Isabella stepped in front of me. "My father will see us now"

I couldn’t look away, even as Noah and the other council around me went on with their congratulations I couldn’t take my attention away, Just standing there like a meal to the visible animals around taking sips of her champagne like she was in her own world.

If she wanted to do something she should have by now, but yet just stood there. As she knew what her gaze sewed on me, she kept them locked on mine, I was either too calm or I’m paralyzed to do anything, she was playing a game or her presence right now was a response to something.

"Alex"

Once again I forced my gaze away from her and looked at Isabella before me, she looked to where my eyes once were and then back to me with a smile on her lips. "Our vow"

The blood vow.

To seal this arranged union but right now I can’t think because I can feel the coldness of a gaze burning at the side of my face, breaking my thoughts and my actions forward.

"Shall we?" Noah said clearing his throat, he could feel the tension in the air created by a single presence or maybe it was my aura going on haywire. And everyone can feel it.

Their Alpha is aggravated and Isabella was suddenly cautious with me waiting if I would lose my composed look.

They all knew I was on the edge, my bloodlust was hanging in the air, they may think it’s because of the vampire here as my prisoner calling to my bloodlust of hatred but they don’t know it was just a mixture of hunger brewing inside me ready to unleash and it all took one look from those green eyes.

I hate it.

I loathe it.

But saying that in my head isn’t going to do a thing, it appears the two days I have spent avoiding her have turned into some tug of war of falling into forbidden desires, or maybe it was that dark emotion I saw in her eyes earlier, that looked far too raw and deep to the point I saw something I can’t describe... It looked like pain.

I was lost to the event before me thinking of a way to unmask those emotions I saw earlier. Isabella had already sunk her fangs into her wrist and awaited me to do the same.

I adjusted the cufflinks and my white sleeve ready to follow through the tradition but it suddenly felt like I was making a decision between heaven and earth.
