“Never mind. I have nothing to give,” I shrugged it off, not giving Alpha Calix a chance to ask anything from me. I was sure what he would ask wasn’t easy to do. He wouldn’t take something not beneficial after all.“If you change your mind, all you have to do is ask.”“No thanks, Alpha.”After several minutes of being out of the world, Norman returned to his senses and his eyes went back to its original state. I gave my full attention to him.“Have you talked to her? To the guardian?” I asked which made Norman questioned,“Have you met her?”“The guardian of Cursed Mirror? Yes, when I was locked inside.”“Really?” Norman seemed like he couldn’t believe it.“What’s with your reaction, Norman? You think she’s lying?” Calix asked, his eyes narrowing sharply at the warlock.“No, it’s not that. It’s just, the guardians of the relics don’t show to every person that goes inside the relics, especially the Cursed Mirror. They only show themselves to someone special, someone who has the ability

“This one,” I gave him a dark red suit. “What’s the wedding’s theme? Are we allowed to wear dark colors?”He shrugged and I sighed. I doubt he knew anything about wedding stuff.Alpha Calix called some staff for cufflinks and he made me choose what was better on him. I chose a simple one.When I handed it over, he didn’t get it and instead bossed around, “Put it on me.”Couldn’t he do it himself?I just didn’t say anything and stepped forward, inching closer to him. I held his wrist, placing it in between us so I could put the cufflink. After putting one, I went to the other cuff. I thought he was done making me serve him but after that, he requested neckties to the staff. It didn’t take long for the staff to come back with a bunch of ties neatly piled on a box for showcase.“Pick one,” Calix said and I took a glance at his suit to make a perfect pair.I didn’t ask him and just chose what I liked. He didn’t get it from hand though. When he pointed at his collar, I knew what he wanted.

“They are a perfect pair,” I said while holding a champagne glass. Alpha Calix and I were standing near a table full of drinks. The dance for the newlyweds had started.“You can say that for now. Let’s just hope their so-called love for each other won’t fade along with time.”“Don’t call it “so-called”, they wouldn’t marry each other if their love isn’t real. You’re so bitter when it comes to love, Master Calix. Could the reason be your lack of experience on that aspect?”“Love is not-““Real?” I raised an eyebrow. “You haven’t felt it that’s why you don’t believe. It doesn’t mean you can’t see something, it isn’t true. It might be abstract, but there are far truer things than one can see. And I believe one of them is love.”“You sound like you have been in love so many times before. Were you?”I sighed. “No, but I had boyfriends. I liked them, I felt something close to love. And even though those weren’t so serious, I observed people around me. I even knew this man named Alex, a huma

“He is Henry, my most trusted person,” Alpha Calix introduced me to Henry. After we had made a deal to get what we both want, he decided to introduce me to his people first.I figured that his house here in Manchester looked like an ancient luxury manor, it can even pass as a Victorian palace. He also had a lot of maids who are obviously wolf shifters. Of course why would he get human servants. That would only make a problem because of the kind of lifestyle he’s living in.He only introduced me to few people. Henry, his right hand, butler and all-around assistant. Beatrice, the head of the maids in the manor and is ranked the second after Henry. Her name really sound old fashioned, and trust me, she really is. She wasn’t the sexy type of female subordinate in movies that becomes the rival of the female lead in movies. Actually, I can’t guess her age, probably she’s around late forties. But in spite of that, she still looks very beautiful. I guess it must be because of the nature of b

"I am Reanne, Miss Lory. Alpha Calix told me to assist you in dressing up and in doing your hair," the woman in uniform who went in my room.She was tall, a little taller than me, blonde, white and beautiful. Eyes were amber. There is no doubt she’s a wolf shifter."Thank you."It is the day of the wedding. I look into the mirror with me wearing the grand wedding gown I had chosen. Not that I want something grand to wear in marrying someone I don't love, but the thing is, all of those dresses that Calix prepared for me were all grand—not just grand, but very grand. But even if I don't want any of those, I have no choice but to pick one, so we can go on with the wedding part and get done with it.The one I had chosen is perfectly fit to my body. It is very intricate and has crystals all over the bodice. My hair was done in updo with few tendrils intentionally left in front for the classic style. My makeup was done smoothly and perfectly. Not heavy but not very light, just enough to em
