When Luce called him, he sighed and reluctantly made his way over to her. Diana and Rebecca were standing with her. The moment he approached Luce, Diana stumbled for no reason and fell on him. Ace grabbed her shoulders to steady her. She giggled, apologizing for her clumsiness, and I stared at her apparent coquettishness. After that Diana left no opportunity to touch him somewhere or the other, but I knew Ace was getting agitated by her and he was putting up a good show of bearing her.
A few minutes later, along with Luce, Diana went to the piano to play. As she sat down, she smiled and said, “I will play Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet for Alpha Ace Norton.”
I went stiff, rage bubbling in my chest. It was a classical symphony for declaring love.
“Whoa!”
Luce cheered and clapped loudly. Everyone followed her suit. She was trying to make me look like a third wheel.
Diana struck the first chord and the next and soon she was into it, playing the symphony flawlessly.
I felt horrible. My choice was to keep sitting uncomfortably and silent in the room or take action. I decided to stop pretending and hiding my true feelings about things. I was mad.
Ara wanted to come out and destroy the piano and soak it in Diana’s blood. I fisted my hands and stood there to control Ara.
Ten minutes later, quietly, I took two steps back to the music system behind me. I punched some buttons and returned to my place, sipping my wine. No one noticed me.
Suddenly, “Dirty Diana”
by Shaman’s Harvest began playing at full volume.
Diana stopped playing, her eyes going wide. Everyone else in the room snapped their heads towards the music system. “Wh–who started that?”
Diana squeaked.
Ace cleared his throat. “That’s a fascinating choice of song.”
I tried hard not to laugh. “Yes, it’s an interesting song.”
I looked at Diana. “It’s about a woman who gets into bed with men who don’t belong to her.”
While Ace lowered his face to laugh, Diana, Luce, and Rebecca scowled at me. “Bloody bitch!”
Diana cursed. She got up and stormed out of the room, feeling insulted. This time, Rebecca didn’t follow her. In fact, I found her smiling while staring at her back. So much for being close friends.
I shrugged, feigning ignorance as to who started the song. Some girls laughed while some gossiped and some became absolutely quiet. In order to dissipate awkwardness, Luna Cassie dismissed us. “I believe it’s been a long day and we are all exhausted. See you all tomorrow at 9AM for the first round of Selection.”
Relieved, I made my way back to my room as soon as possible. Jeff and Kirk escorted me back. Lily and Lilian went to the omega quarters after helping me to undress along with the guards.
I crashed on the bed, remembering the details of the evening, when all of a sudden, a soft knock sounded on my door. I knew it was Ace. Excitement surged through me and I rushed to open the door and be in his arms. But the moment I opened the door, I was stunned. Standing there was Luce’s husband, Beau Jordan.
“
Katy POV
Ace had hinted that he was going to come to meet me in the night and I was craving for his touch after an exhausting evening. I wore a pink lacy lingerie with nothing beneath it. My shorts were too short and revealed a lot of skin on my legs.
However, when I opened the door, I was taken aback to see Beau Jordan standing there. Immediately, my hands shot to my chest.
“Hi!”
he said, his l*ps quirking up.
“Hi!”
I replied, my gaze darting behind him, wondering if Luce was with him.
“How are you?”
he asked, his eyes locked with mine.
“Tired…”
I said, feeling extremely awkward.
He chuckled. “Yes, I’m sure. I just came here to apologize about Luce’s behavior.”
Surprised, I opened my m*uth and then closed it:
He shook his head as he quietly laughed. “I know you are surprised to see me, but I thought I’d take this opportunity to meet you. We live in that penthouse,”
he said, pointing to the sixth floor. I was astonished at the thought of him potentially spying on me, but his next words eased my worries. “Don’t worry, we aren’t living here at the moment. We are staying in the main castle with Luce’s parents and have vacated this residence temporarily for this event.”
“Oh, okay,”
I said and bit my lip. I scratched my eyebrow. “It’s okay. I can handle Luce.”
His brows pinched momentarily, but he groomed his expression instantly. “She’s sweet and very protective of her family. So please don’t mind when she’s acerbic.”
Really? I stared at him, narrowing my eyes. “Are you her mate?”
the question came out of my m*uth before I could stop myself.
“No, I am her chosen mate. My father is Alpha of the Fjord pack, and we are two brothers. I am the younger one.”
“I see…”
I took a ragged breath. “Is there anything else you’d like to say?”
“Oh, no!”
he said, checking his watch. “Nice meeting you!”
Turning around, he made his way towards the elevator, taking large strides. He glanced at me before entering it.
I found it extremely odd, but I closed the door and went back to my bedroom, wondering what it was all about. Beau seemed like a nice wolf, but he was Luce’s chosen mate, which meant that Luce’s mate was somewhere out there and she might have rejected him. I closed my eyes with a thousand questions in my mind. Ace, hadn’t come yet. I was sure that he was changing his clothes and then he would rush to me.
I jerked open my eyes to a heavy knock. Startled, I leaped out of bed, greeted by the warm rays of the morning sun. “Shit!”
Ace hadn’t come and my heart sank a little.
“Miss Katy!”
Lily admonished me as she stormed inside, along with Lilian, when I opened the door. “Do you know what time it is?”
My eyes landed on the clock and it chimed 8:30AM. I shrieked and rushed to the bathroom. “Since you couldn’t join us for breakfast, I brought your food here,”
she shouted as I was brushing my teeth.
According to the schedule, our next task was to gauge strength, agility and if we had any special powers. For that, we had to be presented in front of the king and queen and the council by 9AM. I wore light brown slacks, along with a tank top. I pinned my hair up neatly.

“You should wear something more revealing, Miss Katy,”
Lilian grumbled. “You should see what other girls are wearing. I saw one wearing a bloody bikini top over shorts.”
“And I saw one wearing a bandeau with jeans. Like she would move and her boobs would spill out!”
Lily added. “And look at you!”
I chuckled. “I am fine like this,”
I replied. “This is a contest, not a nudist party I signed up for!”
The sisters grumbled, but I just shook my head. As I tied my shoelaces, my mind went to Ace. Why didn’t he come to meet me last night? He didn’t even pick up my call. An ominous feeling settled on my shoulders, which I couldn’t even shrug, no matter how hard I tried. Why did Beau come to meet me out of the blue? Everything was so strange that I felt like I was in the vortex of a storm.
We arrived in the main hall only to find that almost all the contestants were already there. Lily and Lilian stayed out with the other maids. Alicia was standing at the back, her eyes on a raised platform where the king and the queen were standing along with Ace and a woman in a black robe with a hoodie. Her dark and cold eyes landed on me and a shiver ran down my body. She averted her gaze and looked at others.
“Who is that?”
I whispered to Alicia.
“I don’t know,”
she said. “The Alpha is going to make an announcement before the task.”
“What announcement?”
She shrugged. “Don’t know. They are quite discreet about it.”
