The ceremony started shortly and I tried to look any other bride as much as possible. Though if the audience have very observant eyes, I think they would notice that I am a little weird or that Alpha Calix and I are a little indifferent to each other. But well, I think there is just a small percentage that they would think something is wrong with Calix because he is kind of a good actor. He even kissed my hand when he reached out for me as we both faced the wolf shifter who would wed us.I didn't feel anything when Calix did that for the sake of our pretend relationship. It's just, I got irritated on myself for imagining someone else's face. I really hope that I would soon forget all the worthless emotions and remnants of the past. Who knows my ex, Anthony, is also in somewhere, having his happy ever after with his new found mate? To be honest, I hate how he made me believe and feel that I was the woman destined for him, that we are destined for each other. I hate how he made me feel

It was Simon.Our gaze met and I felt like my world stopped for a moment. It was very quick though. Just very quick that I felt like it never came to me, like it was just a very quick moment of time that was not a vital part of my life. He was wearing a black suit, his face serious and his eyes were dark as he held my gaze. The way he looked at me made me think that he had so much to say to me, that he wanted to do so much. His lips were pursed tight and his jaw was tight as if there was something pissing him off real bad.For a moment, questions swirled down my mind and I felt like I wanted to throw him questions I had never planned of asking him ever since my pack was ruled by Benedict. Questions that I wanted to ask but I will never ask because what is it for? With the path I had chosen, with the life I have now, would all of those even matters? No. It will not matter because whatever he will say or do, I am very sure that it will not lessen the pain that I had felt when I was told

"I have an urgent news, Alpha Calix,” Henry just suddenly appeared from the shadows when Lucius and I were walking at his manor's hallway. We are about to leave for the ball."Is this matter very urgent?" Calix asked, his hand did not leave my waist."I suppose.""Speak.""Sebastian is gone."Calix's eyes went focused and darker. "What do you mean he is gone?""He is dead, Alpha.”I have once met this man named Sebastian. He is also one of the few trusted subordinates of Calix that is why to hear about his sudden death did not sound good. In fact, I wonder. Werewolves don't die in natural deaths, most especially not in accidents. So, there must be one reason why he died—he was killed."Who killed him?" Calix's tone sound so silent and lethal, I felt like he is ready to burn the culprit alive for killing his subordinate. Of course, Calix is not dumb. By now he surely has an idea why Sebastian was killed. It must be to provoke him.I really have no idea how many enemies do Calix has, bu

Before I could give any reaction, Calix kissed me again. He sucked on my lip, and just like a slave ruled by his master, my lip spontaneously opened. He gave me hard and unforgiving kisses. His arm was tight around my waist, while his other hand was on my nape, pulling it gently so I could open my mouth better for his deeper kiss.I was so close to his arm. I equaled his hot kisses with mine. His lips followed a provocative rhythm, kissing me in a skillful way, as if he had long mastered this art. I didn't know that just a kiss could get rid of guilt. This is it.So I was still very drunk when he withdrew the kiss. I catch my breath. He looked at me with dark weary eyes, lips parting a bit.I almost shivered when his hand touched my waist. Every flick of his tongue was full of ardor. I was so close to his shoulder when he lifted me and put me down to the lawn beside the glistening river.Crouching in front of me like a dominant hunter ready to end his long famine, he pulled my nape ag

I really don't understand what's going on. What is the connection of Calix and the chief of werewolf council? What is the thing that caused the drift between them? Because it feels like they have known each other for a long time and there was something that caused chaos between them. And why is Elizabeth even involved in this? And why do I feel like the way Alec looks at me, it feels like had seen me so many times before, that he is very familiar with my face, when the truth is, I've never seen him before. I have never met him."She is mine, Alpha Calix. Hand her to me and I shall forgive you for your aggressiveness.""Forgive me? Did I even ask for your forgiveness? No, Alec. What shall you forgive me for?” Calix said with a playful, dark smirk that screams all his confidence and dominance.I want to ask Calix some questions, like what are they fighting with, but I figured that is a little out of the picture to do that now considering the rising tension in the air."And why are you e
