Chapter 49
still Bethany's POV
Isat in front of the mirror, doing a little touch-up on my make-up, passing the time. Dinner time was moved an hour forward because the king was not yet back. I've been dressed since 8:pm, waiting for the omega to announce the king's arrival for dinner, but they didn’t come sooner than I had expected. The King had not returned from wherever the hell he is, he had instructed his Beta, Dwayne to proceed with dinner without him, but everyone insisted on waiting for his arrival. They love and honor him so much that they are willing to wait for him for as long as possible.
Itis said that the king is in the woods with his warriors, searching for any evidence that the mole might have left behind. Bu I don't believe that, not for even a second. King Dominic would be screwing one b***h right now, he could be in his room right now banging one of his numerous admirers like he calls them. I could have ordered for my dinner in my room so I don’ get to see his ugly face, that's what I would have done if I don't have other plans, but not tonight, I won't be able to hide away tonight, I have to wait in my room for as long as possible, I have to make sure he is right there in the dining table before I leave my room.
Harriet and Miguel are already seated at the dining table waiting for the king's arrival as well, but I chose not to walk down until the king is seated right there in the dining room. Am a seductress, a stripper. I tease guys for a living, and tonight, I plat to use every trick in the book to make him jealous and horny. I would use every move I know to get him to notice me, I don't care if he is the king or not, I'm going to make him regret his every action. I heard a soft knock on the door and a voice,
“The king has arrived ma'am, it's time to come down for dinner”
I know It's an omega, but I'm not yet ready to head down. I still have to wait for Harriet's call, I have to make sure that my timing is right before I leave this room, of what use is all this beauty if he isn't going to notice me.
“I'll be right down.”
I responded to her, smiling to myself because I know I'm not going down yet, at least not yet. I sat down there for a few minutes, then my phone vibrated on the dresser where I had kept and just as expected, it was Harriet's message that said, “It is game on girl"
I grinned at her enthusiasm, touching my makeup a little before putting on my red stiletto. I fixed my phone in my purse before standing up from the chair that stood in front of my vanity. I gazed into the mirror, smiling to myself. Whoever had picked this cloth must know me quite well, he knows exactly what will fit my skin tone and he knows my exact size. It's Miguel, it's got to be him, I'm sure of that. He is so charming and thoughtful, so f*****g perfect. I guess Harriet must have told him about my encounter with Bianca and he took it upon himself to make me feel loved today, how can one man be so perfect while the other one, the one that is supposed to be mine, the one that is supposed to care and tend to my needs, that one is nothing but an asshole, a F*****g douchbag, that's what he is.
I picked up my purse, walking toward the door with a smile plastered on my face. I walked down the stairs, catching the gaze of everyone around the hallway, earning their compliments and admiration. I smiled warmly in response to their compliments, feeling a little too excited because I was getting the kind of attention that I need. As I walked into the dining room, every eye turned to stare at me as I swayed my hips and catwalk towards our seating area. There was absolute silence in the room, all that could be heard is the sound of my hills as I sauntered towards my seat.
I spotted the w***e Bianca, standing next to the king, serving his dinner. She had seen me too and she is glaring daggers at me, If eyes could kill, I'l be six feet under already. My eyes met hers and I smirked at her, letting her know that I am on her case and I'm not scared of her, not now, not ever. My eyes moved to the King and I noticed the warm smile on his face, but it vanished immediately, making me to think that it is all in my head, that it was only my imagination. His eyes were pinned on my body, ogling me as I strolled forward. I saw the empty spot beside him, the spot that was always left vacant for me. I hav not sat down on that spot since he kicked me out of his room. I didn't even come down for dinner all this while because I was busy trying to catch a mole, trying to please him, and to prove my innocence.
But not today...
Today, I'm not here to catch any mole and I'm not here to please anyone. I'm here to enjoy myself and have fun, more fun than I've had since I got to this Castle. I'm not even going up after dinner, I'm going to the bar like every other girl, 'm going to club and have fun. Dominic doesn't let me have fin with the others, since I got to this Castle, it's been one drama after another, no time to have fun and no time to make friends and relate with other people. But not tonight, not again. Tonight is going to be a fun night for me.
I walked down to our seating position, getting closer to the king's table. I know I'm not going to sit at his table, but I can't just walk past him without acknowledging his authority, it would be an act of disobedience and it is punishable by our laws. stopped when I got to his presence, I did a small Curtsy, acknowledging his supremacy before turning to head the other way. From the corner of my eyes, I saw the smile fade off his facets I turned to walk away from the high table that is occupied by the King and his high-ranked generals. Miguel could not seat at the high table because he is not a high-ranked wolf in the king's Castle. He is a high-ranked wolf in his pack, but not in the king's Castle. In this castle, he is just a visitor, so he is seated below the high table, right in front of the king.
I turned towards his position, swaying my hips in the king's face, not caring about the gazes that are pinned on me by everyone in the hall. Miguel stood up and helped me pull out my seat and I smiled warmly at him in response, then he pulled his seat and sat right next to me. Our seats are right in front of the king and his generals, if I raise my head, I could see his face right in front of me. As soon as I sat down, I heard the pinging sound of my phone which alerted me to a message. I pulled it out and saw a message from Harriet that said,
“Gosh girl, you look so cute. Do you want to give our king a heart attack? You have no idea how pissed he is right now." She said teasingly, making me chuckle lightly. I have only just begun with him, the night is still young, and there is so much more fun activity that I have planned for tonight. “You just sit tight and watch me have fun, my king” I said in my mind.
“You look gorgeous.” Miguel comments on my outfit, his eyes moving over my body, checking me out.
“It is all thanks to you Miguel. Thanks for the gift, it's very beautiful and I love them I told them sincerely.
“What gift?” he asked with a smile, making me blush and giggle at the same time. I didn't bother answering his question, guess he doesn't want to admit that he had sent these things to me. He must be one of these guys that don’t exaggerate, if he loves being anonymous then I'm going to leave it that way. The king did not react in any way, I could see him from where sat, he looked calm, too f*****g calm. The only sign of anger on his face was the veins that stuck out on his forehead, and th teeth that he chewed and grind in his mouth. His meal has been served and he picked on it slowly, trying so much to avoid me and my date.
An omega came over to serve our dinner, but I wasn't interested in food right now. Bianca was still serving at the high table and her cleavage is on full display as she serves them. I could tell that she is also trying to get his attention because she keeps moving around him, flaunting her body around him, begging for attention. But he wasn't looking at her. He was not paying attention to her, neither were his eyes on me, it feels like his mind is elsewhere or so I thought. It was after a few minutes of watching him and weighing his reactions that I realized that his mind wasn't elsewhere like I thought, No. His mind is here, right here. He may be acting like he doesn't care about my affair, but he is listening in on our conversation. He is using his wolf hearing to eavesdrop on our conversation, that is exactly what he is doing. I decided to prove my theory, I leaned down and whispered to Miguel,
“I'm so horny, my love. My thong is so wet, I want you to touch me.” I muttered softly, keeping my eyes on Dominic, sounding so seductive and s****L. His head snapped immediately, his eyes meeting mine in a murderous gaze that nearly made me shiver in fear. I smirked at him, before turning to face my food, ignoring him completely.
“I want you as well, Betty. I want to explore every inch of your beautiful body, I want you so badly, I want to make you mine forever.” Miguel whispered to me, leaning down to place his lips on my ears, causing me to giggle softly as it tickled me. “Why don't we start now, right here,” I let out in a tiny whisper, my hand moving on his thighs, caressing him, going up to his crotch. I cupped his balls in my palm, making him groan in pleasure. His d**k was getting hard and I chuckled at the effect I have on him. He brought his hand forward, pushing a strand of hair off my face. I felt his hand on my thighs as he caressed me, going up to my panties, making my heart to race faster than it is supposed to.
There was a loud crash at the high table that got everyone's attention. I raised my head and saw him standing over some shattered plates, his angry glare still fixed on me. He pushed his seat away, turning to head for the exit, leaving the dining room with his plate still full. I frowned in disappointment when be left. He didn't even make any attempt to talk to me and make things right, he simply gave up and walked away. Does this mean that he has completely given up on me?
Whatever, I really don't care. I'm still going to enjoy myself tonight, no matter what he thinks. We stopped flirting and faced our food, I picked on my food slowly, not because I am still upset, No. It's because I don't want to get full before we hit the bar. I want to get wasted tonight so I don't think about Dominic and his silly behaviors. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Harriet and Carl having an argument. I could vaguely hear what they were saying, but from the look on Carl's face, I knew itt was about Dominic and I, he doesn't buy the idea of me teasing my mate. He must know that it is all Harriet's idea, that must be why he is scolding her furious.
If only he knows that I don't care about his words, I'm still hanging out with Miguel tonight and we are going to the bar to ge some drinks. It's a good thing that King Dominic's bar is built like a club because I feel like clubbing tonight as well. I pulled Miguel off his seat, dragging him to the club. There are some people here already, including Graciela's sisters. I spoke with them for a few minutes, checking up on them. I've been too busy lately, I don't have the time to watch them always. After spending a few minutes talking to them, I left them and went back to my date, Miguel. He handed me a shot of Scotch then he wrapped his hand around my waist, leading me to the dance floor. It's been so long since I had this much fun.
I danced on the dance floor, grinding and twisting my waist to the rhythm of the music. I was still dancing when I spotted Dominic, seated at the bar, glaring furiously at me. I guessed Miguel hasn't seen him sitting there. If he had seen him, I'm sure he wouldn't have done what he did. We were still dancing when Miguel pulled me into his arms, kissing me so passionately. He had his hand on my ass as he kisses me, forcing me to reciprocate his kiss. At first, I didn't want to respond to his kisses, I know that I said I liked him, but kissing him sounds so repulsive to me because I am still mated to Dominic. I wanted to reject his kiss, but then I saw Dominic looking this way so I went ahead and kissed him, matching his passion with mine.
My eyes were shut tightly, I didn't see what was happening around me, but I loud growl behind us and just as we turned to see who it was, Miguel got punched right in the face.
