He had agreed and said it made sense and he would let the pack know, sono one accidentally let it slip and how he’s simply happy I will beattending.
Mom and I struggled to make myself look as different as possible. In theend, I had contoured my face heavily before applying a matt base and verypale lips.
Anyone who knows me, knows I love my bold lips. We have twisted my hairinto a small bun, and the aim is to make it look a lot less than it is. Iam personally satisfied with how I look.
From afar, you wouldn’t be able to tell that it’s me. I pick up thepurple mask that mom had just coloured in with felt pen to match. Theoriginal was a lovely ivory shade.
“I wish you had a heavier mask,”
Mom murmurs.
“It should be ok, we won’t be that close,”
I reply, placing it on my faceand before I can tie the ribbon, Mom takes over and ties it for me.
“Thank you,”
I say softly as I look up at her, patting her hand gently.
“Well… it’s time for you to do what you need to do, but rest assured, ifthings become difficult there and if he tries to get close to you,leave.”
Mom warns me as I stand up, spritzing plenty of perfume over me,before I kiss her cheek.
“It’s going to be ok. I won’t be long, and my phone will be with me atall times. I’ll keep you updated.”
She nods reluctantly, helping me with my gown as I make my waydownstairs. Draping my shawl around my shoulders, I step out into thecold.
A car is waiting for me, but it doesn’t surprise me. Atticus had givenhis order. It’s no surprise he sent someone.
Once the driver shuts the door and gets into the driver’s seat, we are onour way towards the grand hall.
I glance down at my phone, seeing the message Valerie had sent earlierwhilst I was getting ready.
VALERIE: We’re at the hall.
I take a steadying breath when the venue comes into sight. It’s litablaze with dazzling lights. Pots of purple flowers line the entrancesteps as guests pour into the hall.
Here goes nothing…
Before I know it, I’m about to enter.
Knowing that Sebastian is right inside sets my heart into a frenzy ofemotions. He hurt me in so many ways, but the thought of him still makesmy belly flip from excitement.
Deep down, a part of me wants to see if he’d even recognise me or wouldhe be too lost in the arms of his beloved Annalise?
I know I’m playing a dangerous game and I remind myself I need to steerwell away from them.
Someone takes my shawl away, and I look around, wanting to blend awayinto a corner, however the moment I step into the hall, silence fallsfrom those around me as all eyes now turn to me.
I carry myself gracefully, not making eye contact with anyone, but thewhispers follow.
“It’s the Alpha’s woman…”
“No wonder he is so infatuated…”
I’m beginning to feel uneasy. I knew people would misunderstand, butright away?
I hurry away, blending into the crowd, not wanting to remain in thelimelight, when Atticus’s voice reaches my ears.
“… surprise.”
“You are the one who sent the invitation. Did you think I wouldn’t showup? Or were you hoping that I didn’t?”
Sebastian’s cold, callous voicereaches me.
My breath hitches, his voice making it hard to focus. A crushing painfills my chest and I slowly turn, scanning the crowd, but I don’t need tosearch for long.
Like always, he stands out, even in a room full of handsome alphas, andstunning ball gowns, his deadly allure, or the aura he exudes stand aboveall.
Even the black mask on his face does nothing to hide his identity. Theblack suit he wears fits him perfectly, a suit that you know isexpensive, yet it’s classy. Unlike others, he wears only a black satintie with a silver pin. One hand is in his pocket, and Annalise clings tothe other. She’s in a dark pink gown and I can’t help but stare at herstomach.
It’s hidden by the many layers of tulle of her extravagant gown, and Ifind myself slowly backing away.
“Oh!”
a man behind me exclaims, and I turn quickly.
“I’m so sorry!”
I whisper.
The elderly man smiles and shakes his head.
“Not at all, dear, just be careful.”
He says with a pleasant smile as hisgaze falls to my stomach.
I nod, thanking him before I glance over my shoulder at the man who brokemy heart, only to find him looking directly at me.
Those piercing blue eyes meet mine as time seems to stand still…
ZAIA.
“Naya!”
Atticus’s voice calls, and I freeze.
The name he said he’ll call me by… Oh no…
I turn gracefully and look at him, smiling brightly.
His brown hair is styled back, making him look a lot sharper without the tousled mess it usually is in. He’s in a dark grey suit that makes his eyes look a tad lighter, paired with a teal mask and tie.
“Atticus,”
I reply, trying to make my voice sound a little pitchy.
He’ll know… there’s no way you can live with someone for three years and not be able to recognise them from close. I can’t go over there.
Yet Atticus has other plans, and to my dismay, he motions me over, making my heart thunder.
Thinking fast, I raise a finger and gesture to the left. “One moment, I have to check on something.”
I mouth to him, bluffing.
He tilts his head, smiling, before he walks over to me.
For once I’m relieved he came over to me rather than persist. He touches my upper arms, giving them a gentle squeeze. “Hey, are you alright?”
I nod. “Absolutely, I just want to make sure everything is in place,”
I reply quietly, certain that
Sebastian can probably hear me.
“You look beautiful tonight… I’m glad you were up to coming.”
I didn’t really have a choice…
“Thank you, you do too. I mean, you look handsome, not beautiful.”
I reply, internally cringing at my mix-up.
He lets out a breathy laugh, reaching up and caressing my cheek – much to my surprise, and it takes my all not to move away from him.
“Thank you,”
he replies before he bends down and kisses my cheek.
I can feel several pairs of eyes searing into me, but there’s one pair that is burning holes through myhead.
Sebastian’s.
Does he suspect something?
“Come, allow me to introduce you to Alpha Sebastian King.”
I look at Sebastian before lowering my gaze. “Of course.”
