I'm a straightforward girl. I see what I like and I take it. It's been the same when I was little and it's still the same now. So when I went out clubbing with my friends that night and I saw this highly attractive guy, I just knew I had to have him...

"Finally!" I cheered, falling back onto the bed and rolling around until I was comfortably wrapped in the thick blanket.
Remi left to attend training at the castle training grounds. He'd been putting it off for quite some time now, but it had gotten to the point where there was no more time to fool around. The Alpha Kings, who accepted the invitation to the ball, were arriving soon, and Remi needed to ensure his enforcers weren't slacking off.
As the King, showing the might of your kingdom to the others was necessary to ward off invasions.
Because of this, he begrudgingly left my side, and I couldn't deny my relief when he did. I usually enjoyed his presence, but to have him leaning over my shoulder 24/7 was exhausting and irritating. I was on the verge of strangling him in his sleep.
The castle had gotten rowdier. Everyone was buzzing about the upcoming mate ball. The maids were whispering about the new visitors, and I wasn't ashamed to admit that I was a keen fan of listening to their gossip.
Although I could hear it for myself or ask Anya, I had Remi tell me everything they were whispering about, from who was raw dogging who to which guests needed to be avoided because of their bad tempers. Seeing Remi squirm in discomfort was amusing as he recited everything word for word.
That was what he got for sticking to me like glue.
My phone buzzed on the side, and I looked at it to see a few messages from the girls. Bella was complaining about not having anyone to go clubbing with anymore. Tammy now had Jacob, and I had Remi, albeit temporarily. My fingers profusely tapped at my screen as we worked out when we could get together again.
I knew it was going to be hard for me to convince Remi, but if I just made him tag along this time, I was certain he'd say yes. So I didn't shy away from meeting them, and they seemed very interested in meeting him as well.
Someone knocked on the door, pulling me from my phone. I looked over and sensed her before I saw her. Anya opened the door and peeked in. "My lady," she greeted.
I perked up and placed my phone down, sitting up cross-legged on the bed. This was the first time we'd been alone since the incident. I could finally hear her thoughts.
"Come in. Close the door." I gestured for her to come in hurriedly.
The second she closed the door behind her, her body stiffened as my pupils shrank. Black mist, almost akin to fire, flickered and made my eyes look almost demonic. I waved my hand, detaching the mist from my body and allowing it to scatter across the room. This time, my power was tangible and Anya's eyes followed it as it formed a sphere around our bodies.
It looked almost like a dark unclean bubble of sorts.
"There. No one can hear us. Come sit," I patted the bed beside me.
Anya hesitated. "This... What are you?"
I smiled. "If I told you, I'd have to kill you. Do you want that?"
