“So what do you think? asked Leky, and Traised my head again to survey my Surroundings. The

polished marbled tiles showed a distorted reflection and looking up, there were glass chandeliers

hanging from the high ceiling. Liam walked up a set of wide stairs in the middle of the entryway, giving

me a better look at the empty room, which now seemed like it was purposefully made for huge

Satherings.

“Do you hold a ball here or something?” I muttered.

“Something like that,” answered Lexy. “O n special occasions, the pack would gather here. Tonight is

His hands slid down my arms and he interlocked his fingers with mine. Thenh e slowly pushed them

upwards, his eyes never leaving mine as he held me captive beneath him. My breathing came in short

but fast intervals, and it didn’t help that my core began to get excited.

I pulled on my arm and he released it, and I cupped a side of his handsome face. Tears threatened to

rise to the surface, but I held them back, preparing myself for the unimaginable pain I was about to put

myself through. Last night, I believed that these words wouldn’t find their way out of my mouth again.

He glared at me as he tried to keep himself grounded, and I turned around and sprinted back into my

room, closed the door with a loud bang, and hurriedly locked it. The two were laughing behind me, and

from outside, I could hear the concerned voice of his fiancé.

I felt something warm slide down my cheek, and my knees gave away. I sat sideways to the floor,

wiping the tears that fell. Lexy sat beside me, and hugged He close to her, whispering to me that
