Alessio sat leaning back in his chair with one arm wrapped around the back of it, his one leg placed over the other one, and his eyes stuck on me as I got closer. The tension was so heavy in the air that I was afraid one of them was going to punch the other in the face in the very next second. Alessio appeared careless and to be taking Neil as a joke. Neil looked pissed off.The man sitting across Alessio was the first one to break the dangerous silence. He winked and Neil, “Chill out, dude. Since it is just a date, isn’t it a fair game for everyone?” Neil’s face turned red, about ready to blast out from fury.“Dudes, take a chill pill!” Daniel jumped in quickly before Neil could create a bigger scene. He slid into the empty chair next to Alessio. Alessio’s scrutinizing, sharp, and almost hateful gaze followed Daniel very closely. I could literally see Daniel shiver in fright. “Eh… here.” he grabbed shot glasses for everyone and filled them up with vodka. Placing one in front of all

“So, what is going to happen at Halloween tomorrow?” I wiped my mouth with the napkin and looked at Daniel after dinner. Alessio and Daniel had returned home together. Instead of having dinner at the packhouse, both of them had arranged for the dinner to be at our house. Lara had already come to meet me in the morning and had stayed. Alessio extended a cupcake in my direction to which I shook my head in a no. I was already full. “Last one. You didn’t eat much.” he handed me the cake before standing up and kissing my forehead and walking off with the dirty dishes to place in the sink. “Ew… stop being so mushy already!” Daniel grunted in disgust to which Alessio just shot a smirk as a response. “Like you don’t do it with Lara secretly?” I teased. Daniel made a face at us and turned to me, “It is all going to be a glitters and glam show on Halloween. I have brought everything at the packhouse and preparations have already started. It’s a fucking France dress up saga on Halloween

Walking back home, I could not get out the sour feeling covering my chest. It was almost dinner time, and Alessio had insisted that we always have dinner together, but the way things had shifted between us since Halloween night, I wondered if we could even sit in front of each other without getting into a fight. By the time I came out of my room after changing into night clothes, dinner table had already been set and Alessio was waiting for me with the fork in his fist while staring blankly at the table. I took my seat, served food, and started eating. The silence was deafening than any sound I had ever heard. Throughout the dinner he did not make any attempt to talk to me, and neither did I. Both of us were focused on eating but the food going in my mouth appeared tasteless. Just as I drank water, and started standing up, he looked up to stare at me, “How did the Luna training go?” I lowered my body and sat back down. My firsts clenched in my lap as I tried to tame down the ange

I ran through the halls quickly, trying to find Lara at the packhouse. The halls were buzzing with people and everything looked so over the top that I wondered if this appeared more like a grand wedding event instead of The Alpha's meeting. Due to the busyness of all the ongoing preparations of this event, I had only seen Lara run from here to there to make sure everything was perfect. She was helping me handle all the things, and god… it was SO HELPFUL. I don’t think I would have pulled this event off without her help at all. The moment I caught her rushing toward the kitchen I grabbed her by her shoulder and pulled her toward the dinner table, “Come. It is dinner time.” I peeked inside the kitchen, found Nia and whispered, “You will handle from here, please?” Nia grinned and showed me an ‘okay’ sign with a wink. I blew her a kiss and then gave a shove to Lara’s shoulder, “Get to the dinner table already. Daniel has already started giving me death stares thinking I have enslaved h

“Finally.” Alessio grinned as his palm offered me help climbing up the stairs to enter the hall. There was a really pleased look on his face and the grin the widest one I had seen recently. He had been so busy in these past couple of days, now seeing him in front of me made me realize how much I had missed him even though we had only been apart a few hours. “How do I look?” I teased. “Just needing a prince beside you to complete the look,” he smirked shamelessly. I slapped his arm, laughing hard, “Wow, look at the self assurance you have!” “And here I had thought that I was going to be the centre of attraction.” he grinned dramatically and put his hand on the back of my waist, guiding me inside the hall. I turned my head, staring at him from the top of his head to the bottom of his shoes. His gelled hair set in place, the white, italian suit paired with a black shirt and tie, and the gold cufflinks on his wrists made him look like a prince out of fairytale books. His god-given s
