1 had been seated in my office, papers, and files strewn all around the table and a few lying on the
floor as well.
I had decided to drown myself in work just like I would work before. The innocent looking girl in my
house was not going to
turn me soft.
I was spending some time thinking about her, fantasizing about her and thankfully, I realized it soon
enough.
The ball could happen and she could even find a mate for all I cared, she was not going to matter to
me.
“But then why are you avoiding her if she doesn’t mean anything to you?” least, my Lycan, asked in my
head.
I mentally rolled my eyes at him and replied. “Because I am working. And it needs concentration.”
He chuckled, “At least you agreed that she distracts you.”
I did not wish to argue with Beast so I didn’t bother replying and instead focussed on the file in front of
me.
I thought of having a meeting with all the alphas again and enforcing a few new rules since everybody
would be around.
But it looked like nobody wanted to let me work in peace. The door of my office flew open and Drusilla
was standing with her hands on her hips, glaring at me.
“How rude of the host to not attend the event!!” she huffed and came forward.
I flipped a page of the file without looking up at her. “I am not the host and it is not my event. Close the
door on your way
out.”
That only angered her more as she flared her nostrils and came up to me and plucked the file out of my
hands.
“Get up, now!!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI let out a sigh. “Dru, I am working-”
She shook her head, “You work 24 by 7. Now, I want you to get up and come with me outside right
now. Everybody is asking for you.”
I shrugged, “Let them. If they find their mates, nobody would bother about me either way.”
But she had already grabbed my hand and was pulling me out of the chair, “God, you are so huge.
Move!!”
I shook my head and got up from the chair as she put herself behind me and placed her hands on my
back.
“Out, keep walking”
I chuckled. “If people saw how such a minion orders the Lycan King around, who will even fear me? My
reputation is at
stake.”
Drusilla began panting. “Then how about you walk out nicely with me? You made poor Zenovia slog so
much and I dolled her up but you are not even going to thank her for the effort?”
At Zenovia’s mention, there was an odd feeling inside my chest. I played with my cuffs and asked, “She
is there?”
Drusilla huffed, “Of course she is! Do you want her to help you or not as your anchor? Why will she
even agree if you are so cold to her?”
Hmm, well I could not argue with that. So after twenty minutes, I washed my face and stepped outside
the front doors of the mansion with Drusilla by my side.
As expected, everybody just gathered around me and I tried to be nice and polite. My eyes
subconsciously scanned the crowd for Zenivia but she was nowhere to be seen.
Then I reminded myself about my earlier resolve and decided to focus on the people around me.
After a few minutes of chitchat, Cynthia came forward and asked me for a dance. I wanted to deny her,
but she kept asking. me and with all the people watching us it would look rude.
Cynthia pulled me to the dance floor, and I let her. She began dancing closely, and I tried to feel
something for her. anything
She was beautiful; she had a nice figure and her eyes were begging me to touch her. I tried to focus on
her, to not think about the girl with those innocent eyes who had said I could not love anyone.
But it was getting increasingly hard to forget about her. While I danced with Cynthia or tried to, my brain
reminded me of the little happy dance Zenovia had done, wearing nothing but a towel.
She had looked a lot more sexier and cuter than all these girls wearing fashionable clothes and despite
having Cynthia so close to me, my eyes still kept looking for Zenovia.

“You look dapper today, my King” Cynthia complimented me and I only gave her a small smile.
“So do you
Her face brightened at that and she kept dancing slowly but I could not keep up with the charade
anymore.
I was wondering what to do when suddenly there was the sound of a crash and the wooden frames put
up all around us for the event began to vibrate.
At first, I thought it was some rogue attack and was immediately going to spring into action but then my
gaze slowly traveled to the source of noise and I saw Zenovia standing alone by a table.
And, I sucked in a breath.
She looked so damn gorgeous that my eyes could only focus on her beauty. Zenovia looked absolutely
ethereal in the dress. that clung to her curves, giving me a delicious view of her figure.
Her hair fell in waves upon her shoulders and the off shoulder dress gave me a nice view of her deep
neckline.
I swallowed as my mind immediately began to wonder how soft her skin must be under that fabric.
The slit on her dress that reached her thigh was too tantalizing and all my earlier self resolve crumbled
when I locked eyes. with her.
She was messing with my mind and I was letting her. Cynthia saw me being distracted and tried to
speak.
“Shall we continue dancing?”
But I could not. Not anymore.
So I only mouthed something like, “I have to go” and walked away from the dance floor. My feet
automatically turned in Zenovia’s direction and I found myself standing in front of her.
“Where were you all this time?” I asked and she fumbled with her dress, trying to tug at it and pull it
down and cover the slit on her thigh.
My eyes roamed over her body and I could not help but stare in awe at her beautiful appearance again.
“L..I was just sitting here” She answered and I did not even know when I had held out my hand in front
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmof her.
“Dance?”
Zenovia blinked and then looked around nervously. I knew that all eyes were on us but I did not care.
She bit her lower lip and then looked up at the dance floor where Cynthia was still standing, staring at
us with her mouth
agape.
“Your dance partner will feel bad.” She said meekly, and I went forward and grabbed her hand in mine
when she would not
move
“Don’t worry, there are plenty of other people to dance with for her”
Zenovia gave me a small smile and walked along with me as I pulled her toward the dance floor.
And when we stood there facing each other, it was as if nobody else mattered at that moment. The
world around us faded to a dull black color and it was just the two of us.
I placed my hand on her waist and held her other hand as we slowly began to move to the tune.
Zenovia kept looking down afraid that she would stomp on my feet.
“Relax, you are doing fine”
Zenovia looked around and mumbled, “Easy for you to say. You are the Lycan King. Nobody would
laugh at you if you did something stupid
I twirled her around and replied, “Why do you care who laughs and who doesn’t? Just focus on me,
okay?”
She nodded but her head was still bent down.
“Zec, look up.”
She was startled when I called her that but she was not the only one.
“Zee?”
I shrugged and twirled her around, making her giggle unexpectedly. Her skin was soft and supple and
her delicious scent was driving me mad.
I was trying very hard to not take a peek at her neckline that was hiding her plump bosom. But my
hands would not listen to
1. me.
They slowly began roaming over her body, making her shudder as I pulled her closer to me. My hand
was itching to bury itself in her hair and play with it as she slowly began moving with me in sync, my
desire to devour her growing with every
