Emily's POV
How does Father expect me to find a groom in one night? I thought he was mad and just said it out of anger till he came in the morning to remind me of our "deal". Is he crazy? I called Amelia and told her everything. Thanks to her, the plan went smoothly but this is the biggest problem of all only the moon goddess knows what he will do to me if I don't find a mate during the ball. Will he sell me? No, my father can never do that. I admit what I did was wrong but it was for his good. If only he knew what that son of a bitch planned to do to our pack. Amelia told me there was nothing to worry about, that we will surely find someone that will get my attention. Plus, she will be with me throughout the party. I didn't know she was right because almost all the men that were coming, I have had a day or two with them in the form of a blind date and they gave me the ick. The blind date was my father's wish, not mine. The theme for the party was gothic as usual; every werewolf party is always gothic so I dressed up in a black and gold dress. The gold was to lift the mood a bit. I waited in my room for a bit. I didn't want to go down yet. I wanted to wait for Amelia but I got her text that she would be coming a little late and would meet me downstairs. "Girl, you said you would be with me!" I groaned to myself and fell face down on my bed aggravated but I had to put my shit together. This was the only chance I had and I couldn't mess this up. I heard a knock on my door and I smiled. I had a feeling it was Amelia. She loved to play pranks on me. I ran as fast as I could to the door. "You crazy girl…" I stopped my statement when I opened the door and saw my dad instead of Amelia. I got scared. Was he going to remind me of our agreement which I have no way of fulfilling or has he figured out that I don't know what to do and will marry me off to some guy that I don't know? I felt like having an anxiety attack at that moment and telling my father that I couldn't go to the party. He looked at me with a small smile like he knew what I was thinking. "Shall we go?" he asked and gave me his hand. "What?" I asked confused. "We have to go down together, remember?" That's true. The alpha and his Luna's entry has to be announced and they have to have the first dance of the party. Since mom is no more, I have been the one doing it for years. "Oh." I took his hand and we went downstairs. "May I present alpha Henry Watson-King and his daughter, Emily Waston-King." There was a round of applause as we came down the stairs. I could feel the tension. We both had a lot of things to say but we preferred to keep shut. We went to the middle of the room, bowed, and started the traditional dance. We were both quiet as we danced and everyone watched. "Have you found someone?" he asked all of a sudden. "What?" "I haven't seen Amelia." He said after taking a deep breath changing the topic. "She should be here anytime soon." "Tell her to help you out. I know she has every good eye for men." He told me as we continued to dance. I didn't know how to respond at that point. It really dawned on me that he was serious. "Emily, I know you and I know what goes on in that head of yours. If you try anything tonight, trust me you will not like the outcome. You better do exactly as I told you." He said to me with a small smile. People looking at us will think we are having a good conversation. I didn't say anything to him. The music ended. We bowed and went our separate ways as the crowd gave a round of applause. The party started in full. I took out my phone and tried to text Amelia. I just hoped she was already here because I don't think I can cope at the party without her. I guess I wasn't watching where I was going because someone bumped someone and my phone fell. I almost followed my phone if not steadied myself quickly. I know it is a guy that bumped into me. The strength and the smell. "Watch where you are going lady." I heard his voice. So manly. He was about to leave when I dragged him back. "Hey, you bumped into me," I told him as I looked at his face. I stared for a while. Why does it look like I have seen this face somewhere? He seems so familiar.Tyler's POVOliver knew I was having second thoughts about going to this party so he told Mother and of course, she made sure I went. According to her, it would be a great opportunity for me to find a bride which I wasn't interested in."Let this party end quickly." I groaned inside the car. I looked out the window throughout the journey. I wasn't really ready for all this. I knew immediately I got to that party, every alpha, luna, and their daughter would flock around me and I couldn't even lose my temper—I had to be nice. By the time I got there, the introduction was over. I felt kind of sad because I really wanted to see the alpha and his daughter before I introduced myself just to know what I was dealing with beforehand. I looked around and I could see all the ladies staring at me."Is it just me or all the ladies staring at me?" I asked Oliver who was behind me."Alpha of course they will stare. You are quite the catch this mating seasoning."Right, which mother would not want
Emily's POVWas Father really kidding me? Of all the things he could think of, it was a dance. I knew from the moment I saw him earlier that I knew him, I couldn't just say where, when, and how till he said his name. Tyler Bay; how could I ever forget that name. the smartest boy in our time back in high school. I still remember how I couldn't stand his guts. That has a little bit of back story and I wouldn't get into that right now.He is still as grumpy as always. Never smiles and always keeps this weird look on his face that makes me wonder what he is always thinking. he always left like he was right, in everything and I was always wrong. He was the bane of my existence back in high school."Why don't you both dance?" my father asked again. We looked at each other. He already knew my answer. Nothing in this world would make me dance with not even if I am dying."Or is there a problem?" father asked. I think he could sense the tension between both of us. I was just about to speak fo
Tyler's POV Of all people that I had to dance with this night it had to be her. She just spoiled my mood. How can anyone, especially a lady be that rude? Well, I wasn't really surprised. After all, it is Emily. She has always been like this; an annoying spoiled brat who lives on daddy's money and always thinks that people owe her something. I really doubt if her success is really hers. Just like during the dance, when she stepped on me. I know she did it on purpose when I saw her smirk. I didn't want to lose my temper because everyone was watching and I didn't want to make a scene; my reputation was at stake. I wanted to let it go, but when I noticed that she wanted to do it again, I just couldn't take it. I stepped on her foot. Seeing her limp gave me a bit of satisfaction. I knew she would react because she is Emily. So, I immediately made her fall and cut her. "Control yourself, Emily. Trust me, you really don't want to cause a scene here." I whispered into her ears.I think
Emily's POVI don't know if it is my bad luck or if the moon goddess is not on my side today. After the dance I had with Tyler, my father made me do this rotational dance, you know, the one where you exchange partners on the dance floor. According to him, it will make me find someone faster.Honestly, I feel bad saying this but the dance I had with Tyler was the best dance I had all through that night. I mean, he could keep a good conversation. I mean, what is wrong with these men? Can't they say something reasonable?The first one, he said his name is Austin or so. The conversation started well and he seemed like someone from a nice family till I asked him what he does and he told me he works for his father. I just became uninterested. How will a daddy's boy understand who I am and what I do?The next one was Adam, he kept on looking at me like I was food or something, at a point I thought he was on drugs then I figured it out, he was a Casanova.By the time I got to the third person
Tyler's POV.Everything is really confusing. I am not even sure what is happening. I saw her wear her clothes as fast as she could and storm out of the room. She kept on rumbling and cursing till she left the room. how can I girl curse so much?I was all over the place. I couldn't remember a single thing. I went into the shower and tried to remember but all I could remember was the party with the boys. It was like I blacked out or something. But honestly, things were not looking good. Of all people I had to sleep with it had to be Emily, God! Why her? That girl drives me nuts!Immediately I was done, I picked up my phone to call Oliver; he will surely know what happened after the party. Before I could touch my phone, there was a knock on the door. It will surely be room service because I ordered some food and coffee, my head really hurt. I opened the door and it was the exact person I was looking for. Thank God he is here."Dude, I have been trying to reach you since morning. Thank Go
Emily's POVI really fucked up this time. Of all the people I had to have a one-night stand with it was that guy? Tyler? And the worst part is that I can't even remember.Immediately I got into my car, I drove straight home and sneaked in through the back, and climbed up into my room. I didn't want a father to see me. he thinks I am throwing a tantrum for the marriage thing or so I thought.I tried to remember what happened last night but nothing was coming to mind only the face that I was almost abducted. I still remember their faces and I will look into them later but how did I end up in bed with Tyler of all people? Although he is kind of hot and he looked so good without clothes. – Shut up Lyla.I looked at my phone and saw so many missed calls from Amelia. She never calls this much on else there is a huge problem. I called her back."Where have you been?" she asked, "I have been trying to reach you.""Amelia, I fucked up. I fucked up" I said in a panic. Amelia is the only person
Tyler's POVI have never been this scared in my life. I know my mom; she will not kill me but she is really pissed right now and only the moon goddess knows what she will do. I am not really afraid of my mom. She is the sweetest person you could ever know but she isn't the Luna of Red Dawn for no reason. She called me back home, probably because of the video. I didn't know what I would say to her when I got home but it happening and I had to think of something and I had to think of it fast. Immediately I got to the Bay mansion, I was taken to my study like some kind of hostage. I guess the Luna is greater than the Alpha now. She was there, seated waiting for me. She asked the servant to leave when she saw me. "Do you have an idea what you just did?" "Mom, I can explain. The thing is…""Explain what?! What the hell do you want to explain?!" she yelled at me cutting me off. "Do you have any idea the consequences of what you have done? This is not only affecting the pack but our damn
Third point of view.Emily was confused and angry but she needed to handle other things right now; other things like Leo. During the dinner, he called her and asked them to meet up.Emily was 90% percent sure that it was Leo who tried to abduct that night. After all, he is her only enemy for now. After the stunt she pulled on their wedding, she will obviously be angry but Emily didn't care. She will never let anyone be treated unjustly.Emily drove to the location he chose. She wasn't worried because it was an open restaurant. Besides, she is strong, stronger than him; if he wants, he can try.Emily got to the restaurant. It was one of the most expensive on the street. She wasn't surprised Leo always liked to show off any little money he had. She knew he wasn't rich, at least not as rich as the Watson-King's or the Bay's but he loved to behave that way, like he owns the place. Emily was sure by now it was him who tried to abduct when she saw one of the men as his bodyguard. Emily kne
