#Chapter 61 At the Ball

Today is the day.While Jennifer was helping me get ready, a young maid came to my room. She looked as if she wanted to say something, but wasn’t sure if she should.After she told us what was on her mind, Jennifer scolded her for upsetting me.“Maybe I shouldn’t have said anything in front of Miss Wilson,” she said to Jennifer. “But I thought you would want to know what terrible things I overheard a few of the guests saying.”“The nerve of them! It makes me angry that they would say anything bad about my mistress,” Jennifer said.“I’m used to being talked about,” I said. But being called ugly and having someone wonder if I’m going to show up dressed in a wetsuit for my ball did hurt my feelings.Why wouldn’t the Alphas stop talking about me or forget the mistakes I made when I first joined their ranks?Didn’t they understand that I wasn’t raised with the advantages that they had? Why did they have to be so mean?I felt like crying, but I held back my tears. I wouldn’t walk into the b

#Chapter 62 Changing Partners

Why would I think of Victor while I am dancing with William?I quickly shook my head, trying to focus on my dance with William.“What’s wrong?” William asked.“Oh…Nothing particular…” I replied, feeling a bit uneasy for being caught.It was a fun time dancing with William. He is a good and gentle dancer, just as I have imagined.After my dance with William ended, I stood close to him to keep the others away.“Do you think I could sit down for a while?” I whispered into his ear.But before he could answer, my father appeared and took my elbow.“Sweetheart, you really should dance with some of the others to prevent any mistrust or hard feelings. Some of the young men here tonight belong to families that have been close to ours for centuries.”I froze at first as my heart did a flip. Then I nodded and allowed him to lead me to a grinning young Alpha male.“This is Rafe Foster,” Alex said. “Rafe, this is my daughter, Daisy.”Rafe grinned wider. I couldn’t help noticing his smile didn’t re

#Chapter 63 Change is Coming

“Please, try to calm down, Miss,” Jennifer said gently. “Honestly, it’s nothing to be afraid of. Shifting is a wonderful thing. You’ll see.”“Were you nervous before your first shift?”Everybody keeps telling me not to be afraid. But I bet a lot of them were nervous before their first shift.“Of course I was. Everybody is afraid of the unknown,” Jennifer replied. “My first shift wasn’t a grand affair like yours, but shifting is something all werewolves enjoy.”“How many will be watching?” I asked her. “I’m going to be scared enough without having an audience.”“Your father decided the ceremony should be private,” Jennifer replied. “So there will just be you and your father, Mr. Klein, and Mr. James, and I was asked to be a witness.”“That doesn’t sound too bad,” I admitted. But my insides still wouldn’t stop squirming. “I wish it was over with.”“It will be soon enough,” Jennifer said and checked her watch. “It’s time. We need to meet your father downstairs.”“No,” I whispered and clu

#Chapter 64 Three’s a Crowd

After I shifted for the very first time, nothing else mattered except the urge to run. My yearning to be outside in the night, racing across the land, was overwhelming. It was far worse than any craving I had ever experienced.“Let’s go,” Diana pleaded. “There is a door to the outside just over there.”Diana was right. I hurried to the door to the left of the dais and growled as I threw myself at the release bar that would unlatch the door.To my relief, the door opened, and I rushed outside.The night was a totally different experience in my wolf form. I could see as well as I could during the day, and I could smell everything around me.And not only the smell of things nearby. Intriguing scents also drifted to my nostrils on the wind.“They smell delicious, don’t they?” Diana said. “We should track them and discover what prey is nearby.”But on my way around the west wing, I passed by the darkened windows of the game room and saw my reflection in the glass.“That can’t be me … I mea

#Chapter 65 When The Party’s Over

William and Victor’s wolves growled menacingly at each other. The rivalry between the two Alpha wolves felt like sparks flying through the air.They growled louder, bared their teeth, and circled each other as if looking for the opportunity to attack.I held my breath as I waited for them to break into combat. I couldn’t stand knowing that they were fighting about me.What did they think fighting each other would accomplish?When the growling advanced to intense snarls, Diana and I yelled, “Both of you, stop fighting right this minute.”“How dare either of you think something that will affect the rest of my life could be settled with your teeth?”The two wolves immediately separated and sat back on their haunches. But they both still had their ears flattened against their heads, and the tip of William’s tail twitched in agitation.“That’s better,” I told them. “Now listen to me; I will choose my mate. I won’t be fought over like I’m a carnival prize.”Victor’s wolf Adam began to argue

#Chapter 66 Double Trouble

Gradually, all the guests left, and the four of us were left alone in the ballroom. I was glad they were gone.As I watched the last stragglers wander out the door, my anger towards the gossipers deflated, and the full weight of what had happened fell upon me.I followed Alex out the ballroom door and down the long hallway with Victor and William close behind me.They were no longer fighting, but they weren’t speaking either.The looks they exchanged were more awkward than ever, and they did not seem like the same happy Victor and William that I knew.I didn’t blame them for being upset. None of us knew what was going to happen. But this fantastic event was going to change our lives.One she-wolf cannot have two Fated Mates. It wouldn’t work. Jealousy would tear the three of us apart.Before this night, I was unsure how Victor and William felt about me.I knew I had a crush on William but we were still friends. Victor just wanted me to secure his position as our Alpha leader.Now, the

#Chapter 67 Restless Wolves

I knew what William wanted to talk about. He looked as edgy as I felt.Hopefully, he wouldn’t say anything that would make my decision harder. Still, I would bet he wanted to ask me about the decision between him and Victor.I was a little hesitant to hear what he had to say.My mind was already spinning while trying to make sense of everything. But the look in his eyes had made it impossible for me to say I didn’t want to talk to him right now.He sat down on the other end of the couch and turned toward me.“I am surprised that you did not choose Victor right away. Isn’t he your fiancé?”I began fidgeting with the fabric of my robe. What could I tell him that wouldn’t betray Victor and the deal we had made?It would be embarrassing for William to know that Victor was helping me attract him in exchange for my agreeing to be Victor’s fake fiancé.It sounded more than a bit silly to me now. I wondered if fate was playing a trick by giving me a double-mate bond with William and Victor be

#Chapter 68 Daisy’s Choice

After my discussion with Diana, I fell into a deep, dreamless sleep. I woke up around noon feeling like I was making the right decision.I took a long shower to clear my mind and then took my time getting ready for my day. I would need all the confidence I could muster.I was putting my hair in a loose ponytail when I heard my cell phone ring. Victor’s name was on the caller ID screen.“Good morning, Daisy,” Victor said after I answered. His voice was light and teasing. “Or should I say good afternoon? I hope you slept well.”“I slept okay,” I said as I applied a little lip gloss. It was the one cosmetic I now used regularly.“I hope William didn’t keep you talking for very long last night. You looked tired when I left.” His super casual tone made me think he was fishing for answers.“We only spoke for a couple of minutes.” I didn’t feel right telling Victor what was on William’s mind, although he could probably guess correctly.I decided to do some fishing myself.“William’s wolf was

#Chapter 69 Busy Social Life

Victor was correct. The first event we attended was an opening at the most prestigious art gallery in the city.I always enjoyed seeing paintings and sculptures on public display in the city. So I was looking forward to it.It was definitely not a jeans and T-shirt kind of event, so I wore an outfit from my closet that Jennifer had bought when I first moved into Alex‘s mansion.The teal jumpsuit with rhinestone accents around the collar fit me perfectly. Paired with rhinestone studded kitten-heel sandals, Jennifer said I looked perfect.The way Victor looked at me when he picked me up confirmed her opinion.“That looks very nice on you,” he said. “And I like the way your hair is arranged to one side. You look very chic.”“Thank you, Victor,” I said. “I hope my wardrobe holds out through the blitz of social engagements in the coming weeks.”“It’s a good excuse to go shopping,” he teased. “You haven’t put much of a dent in your debit card balance yet.”We arrived at the gallery and join

#Chapter 70 Oops

I deeply regretted my error of the previous day, and rehashing it in my mind kept me awake until midnight.The next morning, I woke determined to forget about it, and I promised myself I would never commit the same breach of manners again.Just because a lot of Alphas act like jerks it doesn't mean I had to be like them.After breakfast, I decided to study for a while. I had a werewolf history exam coming up. So I headed for the library.I had been studying for about an hour when my phone vibrated. I opened the text message and couldn’t believe who sent it.My heart squirmed in my chest when I read a message from someone claiming to be Lana Klein, Victor’s mother. She extended an invitation to me for tea that afternoon at the Klein Mansion.The woman said she was sorry she missed my ball, but she and Victor’s father had been enjoying a tropical island vacation.It became hard for me to breathe as my panic and excitement crashed in on me. I was invited to Victor’s parents’ house for te
