---- my nerves.

It seems I wasnt as invisible as I thought.

Suddenly a man stopped near me.

A tray of sparkling drinks in his hand.

He offered it to me and I was going to take it quench this scorching in my throat.

But then I remembered his words.

You can't speak to anyone.

This mask stays on.

And if you dare remove it before exactly two hours, you won't come back here.

You will die.

My extended hand retreats.

I press my lips around the plug and the server looked at me strangely for a few seconds to walk away.

Now that I look around I realise something People were wearing masks.noveldrama

But no woman had a mask like mine.

Theirs were merely eye masks, covering their eyes.

But mine was full, covering my entire face.

Leaving just my brown eyes for their eyes.

The only way to identify me were my eyes.

---- ee = Everything was making sense now.

This mask, this plug, these clothes.

No one can know its me, dead people dont come back to life.

And I cant tell them it's me because of the plug.

I could just watch.

And do nothing else.

Hey there beautiful.

Lost? A voice creeps up from behind me to speak.

His hot breath fans my naked shoulder and I immediately turn around to look back.

A man stood there, a glass of drink in his hand and eyes looking down at me.

My heart thuds in my chest.

Easy there.

lam Wellingdton.

Alpha of the golden province.

Nice meeting you.

And you are? Golden Province.

The same sounded familiar.

Like I have read it somewhere.

But at the moment, I couldn't care less.

---- Hey.

Don't be scared.

I don't bite....

Its just that you looked so alluring standing there alone.

Mind some company? Fuck of bastard.

I wanted to scream.

But sad I can't.

Turning around I was going to leave when his hand wrapped around my wrist.

Tley don't be offended now- T look at him with all the hate I could muster.

Warning him to back off.

And he got the signal.

His eyes harden for a second and then in lifts his hand in in fake surrender.

Apologies.

My lady.

He sounded anything but sincere.

The tone with which he called me my lady.

I could feel a sinister intent behind it.

Ignoring this unknown man, I turn around to walk away when suddenly the lights go out and a man steps onto the stage.

---- os Welcome! Ladies and gentlemen.

Its so good to have you here! First of all a very happy lunar festival to you all! Its an auspicious day today and we all going to have fun and enjoy the night.

Just like every year, The Royal pack arranges this event.

And with your clippings and enthusiasm, I would like you to welcome the Royal couple.

Our Alpha King and Queen! Xavier King and Queen Rebecca! Something drops in my stomach as broad light falls on the two figures walking down the grant staircase.

Hand in hand.

My legs suddenly feel jelly as I see those cold grey eyes sweeping across the crowd.

Xavier...
