I'm fuming mad while I was staring at the picture attached to this huge vanity mirror in front of me, as if I can see my own reflection. The way this man in the picture standing so proud with an arrogant smile flashed on his lips made me even more irritated than ever.
"How long do I still need to do this?" As I saw the silver bracelet that the servant made me wear, I kept on thinking how am I supposed to get out of this horrible bargain that my parents did with that man.
"Miss," one of the servants caught my attention when I saw the necklace that she's holding. It is designed with a pendant that has the family crest that we have had since the 15th century.
"I'm not going to wear that," I said when she tried to put it on my neck.
"You're going to," my Dad's voice made me sit up straight as I saw him walking towards me.
"You're going to wear that necklace because you're going to be proud of our family," he said with finality.
"How am I supposed to be proud of the decision you made for me?" I sarcastically asked.
"This is for your own good," he said while stroking my hair. "Someday, this decision can be the best thing that happened in your life."
"Or worst," I scoffed.
Dad motioned his hand to order the servant that's holding the necklace I'm not willing to wear. He hold it and put it on my neck. As I held the necklace, I felt something stuck in my throat that made my hands shake for a little.
"You're going to be good tonight," Dad said as if he's ordering his men.
I just hold the necklace that made my whole being even heavier right now in a sense that I can completely how serious this event will go on through the night.
"Am I good already?" I turned my head to the servant arranging the laces of my heels.
She just nodded and smiled awkwardly. She's a human and she's definitely scared of me.
"What's your name?" I asked her again.
"C-clara," she stuttered for a second.
"Clara, do you want to be my personal servant?" I abruptly asked that I caught her off guard.
She's hesitant to say anything and she's sweating really hard because of what I asked.
"Come on, Clara," I spoke again.
She nodded for what I said and that made me a little excited.
"Tonight's event was going to be a blast," I smirked as I think of something that they will surely remember for tonight.
...
"What on God's green earth are you actually doing with those goddamn shoes?" Mother snapped out a portion of the workers to assist Clara with fixing those bands in my heels.
"It's alright, Mother," I replied.
"This isn't alright," Mother snatched my arm and pulled me to stand up. She fix a few strands of my hair and took a gander at the silver dress I'm wearing.
I recall this dress. This is the dress that I used to fit in everytime I strolled inside my grandma's stroll in storage room. It is a silver spaghetti tie body embracing dress with heaps of little heart slice jewels to cover the front upper piece of the body. It's basic yet it is one of the most brilliant dress for our loved ones. It's the dress that grandmother wore when granddad request that she be his significant other.
What's more, presently, it appears as though I'm truly down for a commitment party.
"You better get out of this room and allowed Luke to walk you until toward the finish of the steps where you're prospective spouse or life partner or at all anticipates for you," Mother said and left me hanging again after her discourse.
I murmured and flagged Clara to get on her sure as of now. I just sneered a little as I hold the door handle. This will be invigorating.
At the point when I got out of the room, I saw Luke remaining close to the flights of stairs. He seems to be Father, yet at the same much more youthful and cool.
I moved toward him by tapping his shoulder. "You should direct me, butt hole."
He giggled not excessively uproarious after checking me out. "God! You ought to attempt to seem to be this periodically out of our folks' radar. I needed to concede, sister, you like so much alive."
I scowled at him however he just prodded me by snickering at me the entire time he attempted to offer his arm for me.
"You know what?" I cautioned him. "I'm about to include you with what I will do this evening."
That made him stop. "You shouldn't demolish anything this evening."
He sounded so serious yet it's past the point of no return for him. I couldn't care less about what will occur after this evening yet I preferably ruin it over attempt to acknowledge it.
"Adi, I'm cautioning you," Luke's voice in the long run transformed into a horrendous music to my ear.
"I'm not hearing you," I said and stick my arms to his.
The second I heard somebody talking made me anxious a tad. It's my Father.
"Great night to each and everybody around here. I believe you should partake in each and every second that you'll in this chateau of our own. We are exceptionally satisfied that you went along with us in this awesome occasion that we will celebrate this evening," Father's vivacious voice nearly made me hurl. He's attempting to seem like an emcee who's attempting to have a birthday gathering.
"I'm telling you, Adi," Luke grabbed my eye. "This evening's not a decent one for you to pull a trick."
"Who expressed something about messing about?" I said in an energetic tone.
"Allow me to present to you, my girl, Adrianna,"as soon as my dad called out to me, Luke hold my hand to direct me. He checked out at me while marking to stop.
I murmured in his ear. "Just sit back and relax, brother, I got you."
A natural man remaining toward the finish of the flights of stairs looking so full grown grabbed my eye. Those hazelnut earthy colored eyes, his marginally turned up pointed nose, and those delicious lips just got me significantly more anxious to kill him immediately. He's Cooper Ysmael Montevista. He's the person that I severely dislike to death. What's more, he is right there, the person who's sitting tight for me to hold my hand and my fucking life partner.
"Try not to gaze at him like you need to kill him as of now," Luke murmured.
"I'm not kill him at any point in the near future," I murmured back.
"I trust this person's as yet alive until Christmas," Luke playfully said as he guide my hand to that person.
I'm totally nauseated by the manner in which he delicately contact my hand as though it was a porcelain piece that is so delicate to deal with. He gripped my hands to his arm and pulled me sufficiently closer to allow me to smell he's aroma. God, he's a lavender man!
"Allow me likewise to present, Cooper Montevista, our person who's holding on to take my little girl's hand up before the raised area," Father gladly said as Cooper is attempting to accompany me to go on the focal point of these individuals whom I didn't be aware by any means. This is insane.
"They will be hitched on Saturday as they let me know that they lacked the ability to hold on to let each know other's promises," Mother said that make this get-together much more insane.
Saturday? I recently felt that end of the week will be my chance to guard my postulation in the college that I'm in however prepare to have your mind blown. This weekend will be the complementary lift to damnation for my life.
"It would be ideal for you to grin, you know," his baritone voice made me perpetually disturbed.
"I'm grinning yet I surmise my lips are not working this time," I said as I coarseness my teeth.
"You ought to do that or something bad might happen," he cautioned me as though I will be terrified of him. He's a human and I'm plainly a vampire commonly so he better know his place.
"Or, in all likelihood what?" I tried him.
"Or, in all likelihood this."
I didn't actually have any idea what occurred next yet the following I knew is that his face is so near me and I could feel his delicate lips on mine. I heard a show of approval from everybody and I suspected as much it is. He kissed me!
Before everyone!
I never felt embarrassed thus soft before a many individuals. At the point when he distance his face a bit, I perceived how he grinned about what occurred. He held my midsection and he went me to confront him. At parcel of individuals are gazing at us and the vast majority of them are grinning so sweet like they've seen an ongoing couple who's having a public presentation of warmth.
Cooper brought his head sufficient down to murmured in my ear.
"We should simply attempt to be respectful with one another, Quincie, I realize that we will be together for quite a while," he said as he pulled me closer considerably more. I believe he's attempting to imagine that we like this without question.
I attempted to grin when I perceived how cheerful the elderly folks are the point at which I saw them remaining in front. Ugh! Kindly return me to damnation.
"Alright, enough people in love," Father's words save me from this alleged sweet second with my life partner.
He advised everybody to partake in the party and praise us with the awesome 'gift' that we had for the current year.
Whenever I had that opportunity to get away from the group, I strolled towards on one of the floor to roof windows that I advised Clara to stow away for our little trick. I grinned briefly pondering my arrangement.
I'm going to shove to the aside the drapery when I saw my Mother emerging from it. At the point when she saw me, she feigned exacerbation and clean the blood in favor of her lips.
I sneered due to what I figure she did.
"Like a killer, huh?"
"Don't even think about attempting to demolish all that we've done to save our group," she frowned at me enough to terrify me a bit. As she strolled passed, she stroke my hair a couple of times and disappeared to welcome a portion of her partners.
I hold the neckband for some time to quiet me down. I just wound up strolling around in one of the galleries that we have. I gazed at the moon and understood that it was very much like me. Desolate.
"Would you see any problems in the event that I go along with you?"
I shut my eyes to prevent myself from going after Cooper who posed that inquiry.
"For what reason are you doing this?" I sounded so frantic after inquiring.
"That is basic," he said before he tasted on his wine.
"This is definitely not a game, Ysmael," I said as he strolled nearer towards me.
"I know that as of now," he said acting so cool.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked much more frantically.
"Since I need to have my vengeance," he said and the last thing I know, I saw his eye tone transformed into dazzling gold.
I'm excessively dazed for some time just to acknowledge one thing in my mind.
He's a werewolf.
What's more, I'm in harm's way.
