Chapter 67
The next few hours passed in a blur and the time of the ball was upon us. I smiled wistfully at the preparations from the window, before I saw the wide gates of the mansion creak
The guests were beginning toe in. <b>There </b>were men and women dressed in finery, their poses confident and their attire demanding respect.
Handsome men I had never seen before, stepped out of their cars as Beta Arthur rushed forward to greet them. Then a group of gorgeous girls walked in, and stood directly below <b>my </b>window.
They were wearing fashionable clothes, their hair and make up perfect and their dresses ensuring that their curves were well disyed
The ce was being filled with beautiful people. Everybody was looking around at the ce. with bright faces and I could not help but wonder what they were thinking about it.
“The mansion is exquisite” One of the girls, a brtemented and her friend, a curly haired girl, added.
“So is the Hybrid King”
The girls didn’t know that I could hear them. They were adjusting their dresses and hair while talking about Eros.
My ears on it’s ord perked it heard “Eros”
“But he is so cold and aloof. I’ve been trying so hard to get a glimpse of him but he just doesn’t leave his mansion” I chuckled at that line.
The curly haired girl replied, “True, but I heard a rumor that he took in a breeder. I believe the curse is really making him impatient
The other girl curled her hands into fists and did a little dance of excitement<b>. </b>That is why we are having this ball. And, I am going to ensure he only has eyes on me.” She said while twirling a lock of her hair. My smile wavered.
“How are you going to do that, Belle?” The curly haired girl asked and Stacia, the brte girl, fluttered her eyshes.
“By using this.
She showed her friends a small bottle hidden in her purse. “I am going to mix this <b>in </b>his drink and seduce him. Then when he has marked me, he would have no option but to choose me.”
Belle wriggled her eyebrows as her friend shrieked, “<b>You </b>are a naughty girl”
Stacia shrugged, “Everything is fair in love and war. And, King Eros <b>is </b>mine.”
My eyes widened at their scheming. I thought of ways that I could prevent that from happening maybe I’d just have to keep a close watch on Eros.. and yes, he was still free to choose any of these girls as his mate. I <b>really </b>do not have a hold <b>over </b>
him.
Despite these thoughts, a frown etched on my face and the little feeling of jealousy was bubbling inside of me as I heard a few <b>more </b>girls <b>gush </b>about him.
I had <b>no </b>idea King Eros was even so popr among the girls or even the men. I quietly closed the window. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
I shook my head and went back toy <b>on </b>the bed when one of the side doors but a chirpy voice greeted me.
“Oh my God, Eden. Why are you still not ready?”

Chapter 67
I turned around to see Beauty standing a few feet away from me her hands on her <b>hips</b>.
“I did not know I <b>was </b>invited” answered truthfully. Well, it w
<b>was </b>a half–truth.
Not only was I mateless but also wolfless. No man would want me because I was the lowest
Beauty came forward and pointed a finger at me.
“What do you mean by not being invited? You are a guest here too.”
I shrugged as she looked at me from head to toe.
“Now are you going back inside and changing into something decent or should I shout at your
again!”
I gave her a smile. “I…I will happily watch the event from my room’s window.”
Beauty shook her head, “You are going to change <b>into </b>nice clothes or I aming and making you wear it.”
I raised my hands in surrender, “Okay fine. I’ll just do <b>that</b>,”
“You better,” as she smiled. I gave her <b>a </b><b>quick </b>once over and asked. Are <b>you </b>not changing?”
She was wearing a simple blue blouse and long pants
“Ahh, I did not want to but on second thought let me join you”
“Huh?”
And before I could protest, she was pulling me off the be, all the way up to the bathroom.

My protests fell on deaf ears as made me take a quick shower while she selected a dress andessories for me.
“Is this really necessary?” I asked miserably but she only red at me.
Beauty spent almost an hour, painting my nails, styling my hair, and applying makeup all the while asking me to keep my eyes closed
She had not even let me see what dress she had chosen for me and only instructed me to wear it.
I only felt the <b>way </b>she pushed essories up my body, worked with the zips, and yed with my hair.
“Why are you wasting all of your time on me?
You have to get ready too.
I said but she shook her <b>head</b>, “I like helping other girls get ready. I used to help my…never mind
She had started to open up <b>about </b>her life but quickly closed her ups.
I wanted to ask her more <b>about </b>her personal life and family but seemed like the topic would beter…
I felt the soft brush upon my <b>cheeks </b><b>a </b>few times before she finally huffed, “Phew, that <b>was </b>a lot of hard <b>work </b>but still it was interesting
“Can I open my eyes now?”
I asked and she replied. “Oh right, now you can”

So I looked at the reflection in the mirror that was staring back at me and screamed.

Beauty was <b>so </b>startled that she too screamed, thinking that there was a bug or something around her, and swatted her hands wildly.
“Beauty, what did you do?” I asked, staring at my reflection in shock.
“What? What did I do?” she hurriedly came over to me and ced her hands on my shoulders.
“That does <b>not </b>look like me,” <b>I </b>said, and she only pped my shoulder lightly.
“<b>God</b>, you scared me
I felt tears brimming in my eyes as I looked at her. “Thank you”
