1 had been seated in my office, papers, and files strewn all around the table and a few lying on the floor as well.

I had decided to drown myself in work just like I would work before. The innocent looking girl in my house was not going to

turn me soft.

I was spending some time thinking about her, fantasizing about her and thankfully, I realized it soon enough.

The ball could happen and she could even find a mate for all I cared, she was not going to matter to me.

“But then why are you avoiding her if she doesn’t mean anything to you?” least, my Lycan, asked in my head.

I mentally rolled my eyes at him and replied. “Because I am working. And it needs concentration.”

He chuckled, “At least you agreed that she distracts you.”

I did not wish to argue with Beast so I didn’t bother replying and instead focussed on the file in front of me.

I thought of having a meeting with all the alphas again and enforcing a few new rules since everybody would be around.

I flipped a page of the file without looking up at her. “I am not the host and it is not my event. Close the door on your way

out.”

That only angered her more as she flared her nostrils and came up to me and plucked the file out of my hands.

“Get up, now!!”

I let out a sigh. “Dru, I am working-”

She shook her head, “You work 24 by 7. Now, I want you to get up and come with me outside right now. Everybody is asking for you.”

I tried to be nice and polite. My eyes subconsciously scanned the crowd for Zenivia but she was nowhere to be seen.

I reminded myself about my earlier resolve and decided to focus on the people around me.
