Chapter 33

-Ava’s POV-

There had been a nagging feeling clawing at the back of my mind since the night of the ball. Something felt off–like there was a task I needed to complete, something critical that I couldn’t quite place my finger on, and it was slowly driving me

insane

And the worst part? I remembered every single detail from that might. My explosion at the ball still gave me a twisted sense of satisfaction, but then came the parts I’d rather forget.

The way I had practically melted into his arms, saying something ridiculous about liking his eyes. Seriously, what was that?

What was I thinking?

Lilian, are you even listening to me?” Isabella’s sharp voice cut through my thoughts like a blade.

“No, I replied, a little too bluntly,

Isabella glared, clearly unimpressed. “Seriously, you have to take this more seriously. We have a week and three days to plan a wedding that’s going to be the talk of the country for months. At this rate, I think it’s too much for us. Maybe we should hire an event planner.”

I blinked at her. “I thought you already hired one? And she was on her way?”

Isabella threw her hands up, exasperated. “Well, with this attitude, we’re going to need like five planners to get it all done.” I couldn’t help but laugh. “You don’t have to be so dramatic, Bels Alright, I’m sorry. What were you saying?”

“I was saying that with the time ticking down, we need to speed things up. You need to decide on what you want specifically. Colors, themes–everything. So when the planner gets here, we won’t waste time.”

I raised an eyebrow. “Now you’re the one who hasn’t been listening. I’ve said it over and over-I want a small wedding. simple, Besides, it’s only going to be you attending from my side. I lowered my voice, not really in the mood to rehash this part. “And don’t forget, this is all based on a contract.”

Isabella rolled her eyes so hard I thought they might get stuck. “Which is why you should go all out, Lilian! For one, you’re marrying the Alpha king, and for two–well, you’re marrying the Alpha king.”

I rolled my eyes right back at her. “There’s really no getting through to you, is there?” I sighed, rubbing my temples. “Look, I just want to focus on my new job and doing what I actually love. All of this will be over in a year anyway, so why make a

fuss?”

Without warning, Isabella grabbed my face, pulling me so close that our noses almost touched. “Lilian, I love you, but this is not your decision to make. You’re having a big wedding, and that’s final. Now, what color do you want? She’s going to be here any minute, and time is running out.”

Her last words lingered in the air, echoing ominously in my head. Time is running out.

Why did that phrase stick with me?
