Simone POV
As I walked down the stairs, I saw Marcus waiting for me in the living room. He was having a conversation with my dad. “So, your father will make you the new king after you’re married?” Dad asked interestedly. “I believe so… He insisted even though I told him that I’m not interested in his position,” Marcus replied. “But you were the son of the Alpha…It was your fate, I believe you can make a great king,” Dad said, patting his shoulder.
“What can I do? I think my luna didn’t want me….” He said as he turned his head towards me. He did it deliberately because he knew I was there. So childish! “That’s nonsense…Just be patient with her…She’s just a little bit…stubborn,” Dad said while looking at me with a cynical look. I rolled back my eyes. “You looked beautiful…” Marcus said, eyeing me from head to toe. He landed a kiss on the back of my palms.
I quickly retracted back my hands because I still felt slightly uncomfortable showing affection in front of dad. “Let’s go now, shall we?” I said, giving Marcus a warning look with my eyes. “Be home before 10.” My dad added. “You should tell Marcus that,” I replied nonchalantly.
“Your dad is nice…” Marcus said as he drives out of my mansion. The road is pretty empty at night. “Yea…He still thinks that I was his fifteen years old daughter,” I complained. “Marry me.” he suddenly said. My eyes widened at his words. “What?” I asked in shock. “Marry me, and then he would stop treating you like a teenager.” He said, stating his reason. I fell silent. After a while, he said, “Just kidding! You should’ve seen your face.” He burst out laughing, holding his stomach. “Haha…very funny. Marcus. Next time try harder.” I scoffed at him
After a long thirty minutes, we finally arrived at school, where the homecoming party was held. Marcus held my hand as we walked into the room, the party already packed with many students chatting with each other. I felt all eyes were directed towards us as we make our entrance into the party.
I looked at Marcus, and he didn’t seem to bother with it. I think he already gets used to getting attention everywhere. “Let’s get some drink.” He said, leading me towards the punch table. I saw Mandy busy making out with Noah in the corner of the room. “You’ve got to be kidding me…” I said in disbelief, making my way towards them. “Just let them be, Simone.” Marcus stopped me halfway before I could get to them. I then saw Noah pulled Mandy out of the room, leaving the crowd. “I think they’re gonna do it tonight,” Marcus said with a smirk. I lightly punched his arms as my eyes went wide. “We have to stop them,” I said again.
“Marcus, what are you doing?” I asked as I saw him pouring a bottle of rum into the fruit punch. “This party is no fun. We have to loosen up a little tonight.” He said with a sly smirk. “You’re insane. How if the teacher found out?” I asked in horror. “Mr. Cooper…” Marcus quickly hid the bottle on his back, as we turned around and saw Mrs. Smith standing behind us with a wide smile on her face. Damn! We’re busted.
“Mrs. Smith, you look lovely tonight. Would you like some drinks?” Marcus offered and gave her a glass of the fruit punch, which she gladly accepted. “We have to go. Mrs. Smith.” Marcus said, pulling my hand. “Have fun tonight, Mr. Cooper.” I heard her replied as we walked away from her.
“You gave her the drink?” I asked in disbelief as soon as we moved to a less crowded place. He let out a hearty laugh. “A little bit of alcohol wouldn’t hurt anybody.” He said, shrugging his shoulder. “Come on, let’s dance.” He took my hands as soon as he emptied the bottle in his hand.
The next second, we were both on the dance floor. Marcus put my hands on his shoulder, then he puts his arms securely on my waist. He looked at me with drowsy eyes. “Have I told you that you looked beautiful tonight?” He said. “Marcus, are you drunk?” I asked with slight anger. We just got here, and he’s already wasted. I pulled out the bottle from his pocket. “Marcus, this is 85% alcohol!” I stated, raising the bottle in front of his face.
My eyes went from his face to the mysterious woman who walked behind Marcus. She wore an all-black attire, passing briefly before my eyes. “Simone, let’s get married tonight!” He then shouted at the dancefloor. I quickly covered his mouth, he was undoubtedly drunk. I saw a few girls giving me an envious look.
Marcus leaned his body to me. He was way too heavy for me. “Let’s get out of here,” I said, dragging him with all my power. What did I say? Coming with him is not a good idea. We just got here for thirty minutes, and now he’s drunk already. I was still struggling to carry him when I heard a sound from beside the locker.
I heard the sound of a woman moaning in the dark.
As I pulled out my phone and turned on the flashlight, I saw Mandy and Noah. She is topless while Noah still in his clothes. My face went red as I saw what Noah does to her. Marcus burst out laughing. I was about to shout when Marcus covered my mouth. “Shush… We don’t want to meddle in their ‘business’. Why don’t we do the same and have some fun?” He slurred, his face inched closer towards me. His one hand was on my cheek. I can smell the rum from his breath.
I quickly swatted his hands away. “Are you out of your mind? I need to go to the bathroom.” I said and leaving him alone in that dark place.
I splashed my face a couple of times with cold water. The heated scene kind of bugging me. We were all adults, but it was still a new thing for me. Having a strict dad means I don’t have the freedom an average teenager could have. Should I also do it with Marcus? I think dad wouldn’t mind since he likes Marcus so much.
I took a deep breath after reapplying my lipstick, making sure that my lips look irresistible to kiss. I was so prepared to lose the “innocent” label from myself. I was well known as the hottest virgin in my school. Many boys were trying to hit on me, but I always rejected them, and nobody ever succeeded in taking my V-card.
I walked out of the toilet and walked back to the place where I left Marcus, but he wasn’t there anymore. Did he get home first without me? I tried to call him, and he’s not picking up. I called him again, and I think I heard a faint ringtone sound from inside the classroom. I think it was his phone.
I opened the door slowly, and as I turned on the light, I saw him there. Marcus is making out on the classroom table with a woman. That woman looked into me with an evil smirk, she was no other than Charlotte. Marcus’s one and only mate.
