Chapter 403: The Enagement Party {1}
DACE
~
I was on my fourth wine, it was either that or getting to talk, I prefer the first. I just want this night to be over, because keeping up appearances is not my thing, but it seemed to be Isabella’s thing.
She’s all glamorous in her white slender gown, tight against her skin and glittering with every flick of light like the star of the show. Well, she is in this case, too bad I’m not into it as much as she is. The past two days I have buried myself in workload or spent my time in the wild in my lion form. It was either that or think about today, I have prolonged this particular day for far too long and Noah Dominguez has gone out of his way to make it happen no matter what.
I may run the council but when it comes to my future and preserving my bloodline they always go out of their way to make that happen.
It’s loud here... with the classical music and the numerous congratulations and talking about business and the future of the werelions, a future that I’m the center of.
Right now I want nothing more than to spend my time in the wild. Isabella must have sensed it because she kept sticking to me like a fucking leech and her constant laughter to every said word is enough to burst my eardrums, she’s trying to create that impression that we’re a perfect couple, I don’t know why she tries that much because the truth will always be set in friction, this is nothing but an arranged relationship and all for the preserving bloodline or whatever the shit it was all about.
"Alex, loosen up"
I responded by taking another glass of champagne, she should be grateful that I made an appearance, or else this party will be all about her just as she wants and I’m not complaining, I only come to the spotlight if blood is needed.
A loud humorous laugh was ringing at the far corner and it was no doubt Noah who was overjoyed as he spoke to everyone. I wanted to keep this party short and simple, but it was always in our nature to go for something more glamorous and extravagant. This party looked like one of the Queen of England balls with its extravagant decorations and shiny dress and makeup enough to switch faces, the expensive suits and the thick rich scent in the air.
It’s everywhere.
