Chapter 13

I downed the wine in frustration, feeling annoyed by his blatant disregard for me. With a heavy sigh, I made the decision to leave the castle and escape to the forest. But then, a thought struck me - why not make him come to me instead?

I quickly rushed back inside to change into something more alluring. I slipped into a revealing dress that accentuated my curves and fixed my hair. As I stood in front of the mirror, I couldn't help but smirk at the thought of Alpha Henrick's reaction.

With newfound confidence, I strutted back into the gathering, turning heads as I made my way to Martha's table.Elijah's jaw dropped at the sight of me, but it was Alpha Henrick's sweet smile that made my heart skip a beat.

He immediately approached me, and I greeted him with a sweet smile. I gracefully lowered myself in front of him, ensuring he caught a glimpse of my alluring cleavage. However, his attention quickly shifted to my face.

"Why are you dressed like that? Don't you realize everyone is staring?" he asked, his tone serious.

"Well, don't you like what you see?" I responded, my voice dripping with seduction.

"Clara, you're beautiful no matter what you wear," he said gently, careful not to offend me.

"What kind of devil are you? Why is there no trace of wickedness in your words?" I muttered to myself.

Lost in my thoughts, I didn't realize I was staring at him until his voice snapped me back to reality, causing me to faint. When I regained consciousness, I found a cloth draped over me. Martha smiled as she noticed me gazing at Alpha Henrick.

"Looks like you were quite taken aback. Are you alright, Clara?" he asked.

"I suppose she was stunned by your beauty, Alpha," Martha chimed in with a smile.

"You don't have to do that, Alpha," I retorted.

"It's not appropriate for a woman to dress like that. Please cover yourself with this cloth," he calmly suggested.

Martha and I exchanged glances, both realizing that this woman was clearly infatuated. Alpha Henrick seemed like a man who had never experienced the touch of a woman before. It was astonishing how gentlemanly he was.

This man is a master of deception, and it sickens me to think that there are moments when I want to believe he is a good person. But every time I witness him taking the lives of others, I can't forget the murder of my parents.

No matter what happens, I will not give up on my mission to seek justice for my mother and father's death. It has been over a decade.

"Are you alright,Clara?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm perfectly fine. Anyway, let's have a drink, everyone!" I tried to smile as I raised a glass filled with wine.

"Cheers!" I exclaimed, a smile on my face.

After we finished our drinks, he invited me to dance in the center. He extended his hand, and I accepted it.

"Would you like to dance with me?" he asked, a smile playing on his lips.

"S-sure," I stammered.

We headed to the center and he allowed me to hold onto his shoulders. I couldn't quite put my finger on what I was feeling at that moment, but my stomach was filled with fluttering butterflies. His broad chest was tempting me to lean on it, but my plan was to tame the Alpha. However, it seemed like he was the one who could tame me instead. But there was no way he could make me soft and stupid!

As we danced, I calmed down and took his hand to hold my waist near my ass, but he immediately avoided it. Instead, my hands crawled on his back, and I heard him breathing deeply. I smiled and whispered to him in a soft voice, "Are you okay, Alpha?"

I leaned on his broad chest, feeling something suddenly harden on top of his pants. My mind said, "Go ahead, Alpha. Fantasize about me until you go crazy and can't take it anymore." I added to myself, "Alright, Alpha. Pretend to be innocent and torture yourself."

After a while, he stopped dancing and said goodbye, claiming he needed to take a shower. I smiled at what I was thinking at that time and returned to my table with Martha.

"Where is Alpha going?" Martha asked.

"He's doing a guy thing," I smirked.

"Oh my God! How did you say that?" she asked again.

"I can feel his manhood hardening. What do you think he's going to do? Why is he holding himself back just to impress me?" I answered firmly.

"A man is a man. Do you think there's a chance to do something crazy like heaven?" she asked curiously.

"What do you mean?" I asked her back.

Martha's question caught me off guard. She asked if I saw myself having sex with Alpha Henrick. I wasn't sure how to respond. I mean, revenge is one thing, but giving myself to someone I despise is another. It's a risky move, but maybe it's worth it. After all, sex is a man's weakness, and I know I can use it to my advantage. But why am I still hesitant? Maybe it's because I don't want to stoop to his level. As I pondered my thoughts, a female wolf approached me with a serious look on her face. She crossed her arms and examined me from head to toe, leaving me speechless.

Her question hit me like a bolt of lightning, causing my heart to race with unease. It was clear that she had doubts about my intentions with Alpha henrick. Despite my inner turmoil, I managed to maintain a composed facade and forced a smile.

"Why do you ask?" I responded, my tone direct and to the point.

Her serious expression remained unchanged as she replied, "If you're not planning to take Alpha Henrick seriously, then let me handle him. It seems like you're just toying with his emotions, using your beauty to manipulate and hurt him."

Her words hung in the air, causing a lump to form in my throat. Was she insinuating something deeper, or was I simply overreacting? Regardless, I summoned the courage to respond.
