 “You’re wee. You deserved pampering

 For a good five minutes, I kept staring at myself. I looked like the time my body was going through those hybrid changes. My golden hair was shinier, and packed neatly into a low bun with tendrils beside my cars. Her makeup was minimal, and enhanced my facial features. My lips looked even pink and full. I was gorgeous!

 She had also chosen an off–shoulder dress with a deep neckline that gave some bounce to my breasts. The gown hugged my body up to the waist before ring down the knees a little..

 There were beads and small flowers running

 through the neckline and a delicatece pattern that ran along the waistline.

 You look amazing. Eden. She breathed, and I quirked an eyebrow.

 “Thank you.” I giggled.

 “Ok now you go out and y the event. Who knows, maybe you might find your mate today.”

 She wriggled her eyebrows, and I tried hard not to blush. The idea was good, especially if my mate turned out to be Eros.

 Beauty turned to walk out of the room, but she bumped into something or someone.

 “Ouch she rubbed her forehead and looked up to see Arthur.

 “Don’t you have eyes?” she scowled, but his eyes were fixated on me.

 For a moment he said nothing and ran his eyes from my feet up to my face before letting out a breath.

 “Wow

 He muttered, and my cheeks were turning beet red.

 Beauty rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers at him. “Hello? You should apologize to me” N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.

 But Arthur simply shot his hand forward and pushed her away, making her p him on the back again.

 “You idiot” She winced, but he paid her no attention.

 He stepped inside the room and muttered, “You look gorgeous, Blondie” He said and held his hand forward.

 Beauty threw her hands up in despair and walked off, leaving us alone.

 I smiled at him, “so do you,”

 Arthur was wearing a ck suit, and his hair was perfectlybed.

 “Not as good as you,” He said, offering me a hand. I gave him a small smile, and took it as he ced a small kiss on my hand. making me blush.

 “Shall we?” He asked, and I nodded my head.

 Thus, I let Arthur guide me outside the mansion. However, instead of taking me out through the front door, he redirected us both toward the back door.

 “Why are we going through this door?” I asked him and he smile

 The crowd and noise is too much. Let us talk in silence for a while and then we join the others.

 Is that okay?”

 He asked, and I readily agreed. I didn’t want to see the girls alling up with devious ways to seduce Eros.

 Speaking of which, where was he?

 My gaze flitted in the direction of his office, but I could not spot him. The lights were still on, so probably he was still insi

 It had only been a few days since I had talked to him, but it already felt like ages. I wanted to see him smile or even show! that devilishly delicious smirk of his. My disappointment must be evident on my face because Arthur asked, “Is somethin

 Wrong

 I tore my gaze away from the windows of Eros‘ office and replied, “N–nothing”

 He patted my arm, and we took a stroll through the widewn.

 The night was starry and the full moon shining above was casting a soft glow on the trees around us.

 “The moon is very beautiful,” I said while gazing at the sky and he, too, looked up.

 “Yeah, I don’t even remember when was thest time I waited to admire its beauty”

 I added. “my sister and I used to gaze at the moon and the stars at night,” 

 “Your sister?”

 “Yes, my baby sister” the words slipped from my mouth.

 “Sounds like a dream. I guess you were close to your sister Arthur asked, and I tried to force down the lump forming in my

 throat.

 My eyes were beginning to get watery, as memories of Olivia and I flipped in my mind “I miss her,” I said softly.

 “I miss my family too. Sometimes I have these faint memories with a group of friends, more like family. We were so formidable and I never get to see their faces.” He said and then fell silent.

 “Look, I am sorry. Just forget about anything I said today.” Arthur said, and I nodded meekly while closing my eyes.

 I was one of his friends, his family. That I remember… but why doesn’t any of them remember? Why am I the only one saddled with the responsibility of remembering?

 He could tell that my mood had dipped, so he held me by the shoulders and whirled me around.

 “You know what? Let us go and join the party,” Arthur said once more, and I bit my lower lip as nervousness began to creep

 “But there are so many alphas and betas around there.”

 Arthur patted my shoulders, dismissing my concern. “I’ll be there with you. Besides, all of the alphas and betas are lower to me by rank

 “How is that possible?” I asked.

 Usually, hybrids are at the top, then followed by Alphas, and the betas. The vampires have a different ranking. They simply have the Originals, and the followers… and maybe, their pets. Those they suck off for pleasure.

 Needless to say that the werewolves and vampires aren’t at best alliance. The Hybrids are simply the middle men between

 He winked cockingly “Because I am beta to the Hybrid King. You know that he is THE king, right?”

 I nodded, my heart fluttering at the mention of Eros‘ title again. I dismissed the thought as Arthur dragged me through the front door and towards the openwns.

 A few groups had formed, and werewolves had already started drinking. The arrangements were so spectacr that I never knew this lone mansion could look so lively.

 “Now, blondie,” Arthur whispered in my car “loosen up. No one’s biting. Enjoy the party,”

 I chuckled at him “well noted.”

 We bothughed and then he looked around. “You know what? I know the right thing to do. Let me go grab you a drink.” Arthur said, and before I could stop him, he had walked to the drinks counter that had been set up in the far corner.

 Soft music was ying, and so my gaze flitted through the crowd, trying to catch a glimpse of any familiar faces,

 “Well, well, look who W

 have here,” A voice spoke loudly followed by giggles and a bit of booing. I turned around to see Eve standing in front of me, a few girls beside her, all ring at me.

 I took in a deep breath, and tried to maintain a straight face at a woman who is a replica of my baby sister Olivia.

 Eve was wearing avish dress with diamonds and jewels studded to it, the fabric clinging to her curves and leaving only little to the imagination.

 She was holding a ss in her hand and took a sip. “Look at Eden’s face. She looks like she identally sneaked out of pig house, and stumbled upon a rich people’s event.”

 Eve is only a replica of Olivia. She isn’t Olivia as subconsciously took a step back. Her words has made a few of the girls giggle. But then the girls started forming a loose circle around me while Eve stood facing me.

 “She is the breeder that the Hybrid King got for himself, and just look at her. She is already dreaming about King Eros.” One of her friends spoke in disgust.

 “E, she certainly doesn’t know her standard. Not even à ugly vampire will look at her.”

 “Please, I don’t want any trouble. Leave me alone” I tried to make the girls leave me alone, but they wouldn’t listen.

 “Just because a ball is being held, you think you stand a chance, you lowly breeder?” Eve scowled and the other girls booed loudly.

 “You all should leave me alone. I am not holding your king. Why don’t you all go to try your luck with him? Maybe he will pick one of you today” I said, willing that they would leave me alone.

 “Look at her say those words as if she is doing us a favor.” Eve’s friends circled me as they began poking me, ying with my hair, and pulling at iny dress,

 “Stop!” I cried as Eve smirked and then threw the contents of her ss in my face.
