As I descended the stairs, everyone’s eyes turned to me but my eyes wandered to find my mate who immediately made his way up to catch my hand and claim my lips in a deep kiss.
My mate was looking so gorgeous and se xy in the grey three-piece suit, matching my grey off-shoulder ball gown. Mia and Ivy had taken responsibility for our attire and they went to the town to get us the designer outfits for the ball. I loved the way

“You’re looking so beautiful, love. How will I be able to keep my hands to myself?” He whispered in my ear after kissing my jaw and I held back a moan as the sparks danced through my body.
His intoxicating earthy oak scent enveloped my senses, making me close my eyes in pure bliss as his hands slowly massaged the small of my back before snaking his arm around my waist and pulling me closer to his chest.
“You will have to wait till the end of the ball. I have a surprise for you,” I said in a breathless voice as his proximity made my breath hitch in my throat.
“You’re such a tease, aren’t you?” He frowned, holding my chin in his hand before pecking my lips once again. “I can’t wait for tonight to end and tear this s exy

off you.”
He smirked. My heart sk ipped a beat in anticipation as my core throbbed because of his teasing comment. I was so excited about this ball but now, I was more excited for it to end..
With him, I just couldn’t keep a grip on myself. He made me forget that we were surrounded by the people and they were watching us with a smile on their faces. Although it made me shy, Prescott couldn’t care less about anyone. He unabashedly made public displays of affection without hesitation.
‘Alpha is utterly smitten with our Luna,’ my girls giggled in the group-link and I rolled my eyes inwardly at them and suppressed my lips hard as the blood rushed my cheeks and my ears burned hot.
Prescott kept his hand encircled around my waist as we walked through the crowd and greeted everyone before making the champagne toast and starting the ball with our dance. The dance floor soon teemed with the other pairs who joined us

My eyes widened to see Serena dancing with Caleb. We teased her and urged her to accept the poor guy who was so in love with her. She wasn’t able to fight against- the pull of the mate bond but all of us knew that they had chemistry even before the mate bond came into existence. She was just reluctant to admit it because she was scared of getting hurt but I knew that she loved him.
When he was injured, she had balled her eyes out and took care of him until he – completely recovered.
“You’re glowing, Alpha Queen,” Riya whispered, narrowing her eyes at me as she was sitting beside me on the dining table.
Prescott wanted to have a talk with the High Witches and the new Witch Queen regarding the signing process of the treaty between our species who was Dylan’s sister. Surprisingly, she seemed kind and gentle, completely opposite to what her brother was.
I blushed, grinning all ears to ears. “I hope this time, everything works out in our favor.” I forced myself to focus on positivity and the future rather than the wounds and pain of the past.
Riya smiled at me reassuringly before we dug in and enjoyed the delicious food. Everyone praised my preparation and arrangements for tonight’s ball. I was relieved to know that my first annual ball was a success and everyone seemed to enjoying the night with content smiles.
After chatting about the rogue attacks and things about their realm while having dinner, Prescott rose to his feet and motioned Caleb to bring the treaty over there. He handed me the papers, indicating that I should start the conversation.
I wondered why he always let me take the lead when any other man in his place would have enjoyed acting all Alpha but he… He was so in love with me that he stood behind me as my back and support system and let me deal with things my way. He had shown faith in my decisions even when my own father had questioned my judgments.
“We would like you to go through these papers and sign this treaty between our species so the future generations won’t have to face what we faced,” I said, handing it over to Stella, the Witch Queen who smilingly took the file from my hands and nodded her head.
“If you want any changes, let us know. We don’t want you to think that we’re only thinking for our people,” Prescott said, leaning into his chair and taking my hand

His small gesture sent the waves of pleasure running through my body. I could see him smirking from the peripheral view as my heart raced in my chest when his hand reached over my thigh and drew circles teasingly there before resting his hand on my thigh.

“I’m not the right person to deal with this,” Stella swallowed hard, struggling to speak as all the eyes turned to her, and from her discomfort, I could tell that she didn’t like attention.
“I wasn’t born to become the Queen, nor was I trained to fir into this role,” she admitted nervously. “I’m still learning how to deal with the things… The only reason I accepted Riya’s proposal is because I saw my people suffering because of my father and brother’s greed for powers and I don’t want them to suffer by the hand of any other ruler. I might not be the strongest and wisest Queen yet but I know that I will never let them suffer so I want Riya to make the decision.
We were aghast by her meekness, none of us had expected her to admit it in front of us.
Riya smiled, patting her Queen’s shoulder, and read the
papers. Her eyes narrowed as she looked up from the

“I had assumed that all the rogues were dead,” she muttered to herself.
