~ Harmony's POV ~
What wrong did I do to earn his wrath? Why does he always try to get into my nerves?
If I did end the engagement from my side, then that father of mine would definitely give me a painful death, and if he ends our relationship, even then I would be the one to get punished.
The quads are definitely giving me a little more attention than before, and that might become problematic for me.
I did want to get closer to them, but not to the extent where I could feel their warm breath fanning over my face.
“I did warn you not to attend today's party, didn't I? Whenever I look into those dirty gray eyes of yours, I feel nauseated.
Why do you always try to ruin my mood?” Seth twisted my arms behind my back while he pulled me closer to him.
We were still standing outside the club and there were already people who were gathered around us. Asher came forward, but Seth glared at him.
His aura was stronger than both his younger brothers, so Asher had no choice but to listen to his brother.
“Why should I listen to you? I don't think that you are the moon goddess. I might not have awakened my powers, but don't forget that I have the blood of alpha running through my veins, so you should stop treating me like some slave of yours.
Oh, I also didn't know that one of the next Alphas of the Blood River Pack was such a tattletale.” I tried to maintain some distance between us, as whenever he got closer to me, I found it hard to control myself.
Unlike his brothers, he was wearing a gray blazer over a white shirt. He was wearing some high-brand wristwatch.
His hair was gelled back and the way he was smirking at me made me clench my jaw in annoyance.
He dared to make a complaint about me, so he couldn't scold me for calling him a tattletale.
“You are becoming quite fearless, Delaney. Did you forget those days when you used to plead for me to save you?
I have told my father a thousand times to sever my relationship with you, but he just doesn't listen to me.
Nobody is aware of your filthy personality and that greedy nature of yours. I have seen it all.
So, you can not fool me with that innocent face of yours.” Seth grabbed my jaw with eyes filled with disgust.
He keeps blaming me for everything. I am seriously tired now. I could talk with a wall for a second, but not with him.
“We should ignore her, baby. People like her can never change. She might be here to seduce one of the strong werewolves so that a man can protect her.
She is even dressed up like a hooker. You should not boil your blood in rage about the likes of hers.
Let's not ruin our mood because of someone filthy like her.” Leah placed her hand on Seth's shoulder and the way she was sticking to him made me laugh.
I grabbed Seth's hand and I smiled when I gazed at Leah, “You probably must be talking about yourself.
As for you, stop getting yourself involved with me, Seth Morven. Let's just not cross each other's path… at least for tonight.”
Before the guy could again try to hold me back, I grabbed Asher’s arm. At least he didn't push me away.
I needed someone’s support otherwise, I would definitely end up falling on the floor in front of all the people.
When we entered the club, I could hear loud music. People were busy enjoying drinking and some were even dancing on the dance-floor. When I looked around myself, people were staring at me.
I tightly clenched Asher's arm as I felt kind of self-conscious. Why are they looking at me? My dress is not that short and the neckline is also not that deep, so why? Are they discussing that post?
“There is nobody who looks more ravishing than you at tonight's party. Have a little confidence in yourself, Trinity.
I am not leaving you alone, so you can relax.” Asher smiled at me calmly and the way he was glancing at me was enough to make me feel warm from inside.
Why is this guy behaving so differently than his brothers?
It's a good thing that they are not discussing that post.
I nodded my head and when I looked up, my eyes met with Kai. He was dancing in the middle of the dance-floor with his friends.
He was wearing a black hoodie. His fringes were covering his forehead and sweat was dripping off his face.
What?
Why is he heading towards me?
No, I must be mistaken.
“You finally made it. I asked Damon to bring you to the party. I was worried that your father might again try to humiliate you, so after gathering all my courage, I asked the eldest quad to help you out.” Bella immediately embraced me in a tight hug.
She looked stunning in her shimmering silver fishtail dress. There were tons of people who were waiting to meet her, but she didn't care about any of them.
At this rate, she might end up being mateless because of me. It's her eighteenth birthday party, so I am sure that after midnight she might be able to sense the scent of her mate. There are many people who came here in the hope of becoming her future partner.
I mean, that person might get a chance to become the next Beta of the Blood River Pack if he gets to mate with Bella.
“Happy eighteenth birthday, Bells. It was hard for me, but I still prepared a small gift for you.” I embraced her back, and when I gave her the small box, she accepted it with a bright smile on her face.
How could I let a kind-hearted girl become a victim of some bastard?
There are many shameless people who might see this as an opportunity to rise up in the position.
Ares also arrived, and he did want to wish Bella, but she completely ignored him. If she continued to offend everyone, then she might end up facing difficulties because of trying to help me out.
“Why do you always think so hard?” Asher asked me, and he seemed to be quite concerned about me.
This guy always makes me at a loss for words.
“It seems like you have become quite comfortable with my brother, huh? But aren't you trying all your tactics on the wrong person? He is not Seth.
Don't tell me that you have finally decided to change your target.” Kai accused me again.
He wiped off the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.
I sighed in frustration while I looked in another direction. I don't have the energy to correct him. He could think about whatever he wanted to think about me.
“You are being disrespectful right now, Trinity. I hope that you didn't forget about our father's warning.” Ares tried to remind me about last night and how that so-called father of mine whipped me in front of all the pack members.
The scars of the lashes are still on my back. They didn't bother to conceal them. While I was thinking about a proper excuse to get out of here, Kai suddenly dragged me towards the dance-floor whilst he grabbed my wrist.
What is he trying to do right now?
I don't even know how to dance, so what exactly is he expecting from me?
I found Seth and Leah as well. They were lost in each other's embrace. He was moving his hands all over her body and she was enjoying his touch.
Why am I feeling so irritated?
They could do anything that they want… What does it have to do with me?
“When I am with you, your focus should only be on me.” He whispered to me in his hushed voice, and before I could push him away, he started to make me twirl.
The way he is continuously spinning me around, I will definitely fall on the floor. Is he intentionally trying to make me feel embarrassed?
My head is already spinning. I am getting dizzy, but I can't fall. I will never let this immature guy win this stupid game.
He gritted his teeth when he realized that his plans were not working against me. He twirled me one last time and after that, he pushed me away, but before I could fall, I felt strong arms around me.
I thought he was busy discussing the matters of rogues with other alphas, so why exactly is he here?
I tried to stand straight and after gazing into his jade green eyes, I decided to take my leave, but he didn't let go of my wrist.
Damon pulled me back, and I gasped when he pulled me towards him by grabbing my waist.
“We should always finish what we start, little wolf. Dance with me.” Damon gently rubbed my earlobe while the tip of his nose was touching mine.
Why am I not able to refuse this guy?
Why am I not able to push them away?
This was not my plan when I decided to come here.
There is nobody I could trust here, and especially the famous four, but why do I want to believe in them?
Something is definitely wrong with me, but what?
