The Mission (4)

The moment Amy advanced the distance from the parking lot and appeared before the crowd, clicks and flashlights were the first things that followed as the reporters began shooting pictures of her, assuming she was the daughter of one of the aristocratic families or even a superstar.

With how Amy was dressed and how she carried herself as she moved swankily towards the hotel lobby with her one-sided high slit black shoulder-less satin fitted gown slightly flowing behind her, one would assume she was indeed from a wealthy family—especially now that one could not tell the identity of the people due to every one of the attendees wearing a mask.

Not that she wasn’t. Her late mother was the rightful Alpha of the second-largest park in Ferlorrons, a remote place behind the enormous jungle at the outskirt of town, where a couple of packs are situated and ruled by their King, who is none other than Reagan!

To the outside world, the area was either bought by a highly wealthy forester keen on preserving nature due to the vast space it carries or by individuals who love to be around nature. However, only the wolves knew there was more to the forest than that which meets the eyes.

The place was like its own country or even another realm, considering how huge it was that it even had its capital called Duminstian, which was the home to Amy and Reagan and countless other wolves before their heart-wrenching separation. Consequently, he ended up living in the human city as well.

Back to the present, “Hello, beautiful!” The masculine voice of Noah Lincoln, Amy’s date for the evening, sounded as he closed the distance between him and Amy and immediately wrapped his hand around her waist.

Like Amy, Noah also wore a black tuxedo to pair his blue jeans and white sleeve shirt and a black mask that also just covered his eyes along with the area around it.

With how they were dressed, plus how his hand was clasped around her waist, one would believe they were undoubtedly a couple.

Noah took a moment to survey Amy’s entire being in awe. It wasn’t plainly how she was dressed or carried herself; her aura screamed power, he deduced.

On the other hand, feeling the jerk’s hand around her waist, Amy felt sick. It wasn’t that the guy was ugly in any way because he was one dashing young man. However, his proximity could not invoke the feeling she always had whenever Reagan was near her. It was simple to understand why that was… they weren’t mates.

Also, if it were not that each of these families somehow knew themselves and that it would seem awkward for her and Brianna to be at a party they were not invited in, she would have preferred they went alone independently from any of these guys.

“You look breath-taking in this attire!” Noah commented. “If you had not given details of your outfit, I would not have recognised you due to how magnificent you look.” He added as he guided her to the hotel’s lobby while the stringers took countless pictures of their intimate position for tomorrow’s headlines which undoubtedly was going to be epic. Not just from the fantasised couple alone, but the whole setting.

As they entered the hotel lobby, heading to the elevator that would lead them to where the event was being held, Noah’s hand went further down Amy’s waist and was inches away from grabbing her butt cheeks.

Noah thought he had seen countless women and slept with many... However, Amy was irresistibly gorgeous and to top that up, there was something about her that made her unique.

Amy was on the verge of losing it. ‘Pervert!’ She muttered within in irritation. She was so close to yanking his hand away or possibly twisting it. Then again, she needed the asshole for the time being. Not just as her ticket to enter the town’s most talked-about event, but for other purposes that may come in handy later on. Therefore, she needed to get her wits together and put up with his immoral acts, Amy concluded.

“Are you in yet?” Brianna’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear, and Amy rolled her eyes at not knowing what to call Brianna’s impatience. ‘I was expecting her to start screaming inside my ear already.’ Amy thought to herself as she faked coughing, knowing that Noah would surely ask if she was okay. And he did.

“Are you okay? Should I get you some water, beautiful?” Noah asked genuinely concerned for whatever reasons known to him while scanning around the lobby in search of the workers.

“Yes, I am!” Amy freely muttered the answer Brianna sought while Noah assumed her response was meant for his question.

“Humm… if you say so, gorgeous.” Noah said as his hand, which had slightly loosened around her waist when she faked that cough, fastened again, followed by his words which said, “I will still have you drink some water or anything you would like once we reach my table!”

Amy gnashed her teeth in extreme irritation. Usually, she was more tolerant of such acts in the past than she was right now, making her wonder what the reason could be. Because on more occasions, she has had to endure even worst happenings during assignments. Without much deliberation, she concluded that it had something to do with the fact that she was about to meet him again after such a long time. It was logical considering how unsettled she was right at this moment.

Exiting the elevator that stopped at the thirteenth floor, they were murmurs from behind the only large glass door in the corridor. Hence, Amy knew that was their destination, and her heart rate accelerated as she wondered if Reagan was already there.

‘What would happen once I step behind that door? What fate awaits me there?’ Amy asked herself as she clutched her dress tightly in incredulity.

“Nothing will happen, kid. You must get your acts together. Most importantly, do not allow him to sense your fear!” Alyx said flatly.

“Are you okay?” Noah, who had noticed her oddness, inquired almost simultaneously.

Amy inhaled a silent deep breath to calm herself and chose to heed Alyx’s words. ‘It should be him feeling a sense of guilt, not me!’ She concluded inwardly.

With that, she turned to address the pervert beside her, “I am perfectly alright!” Amy spoke with the most alluring smile plastered across her half-covered face. “let’s go in!” She added softly.

“As you wish, beautiful!” Noah said with a wide grin as he visualised how those inviting lips of hers would be wrapped around his shaft later. Thus, with that thought in mind, he happily grabbed the glass doorknob and pulled it open for them to step in.
