Dread settled in my stomach as I undressed to check myself. There was no smeared cum on me or anything. It didn’t ‘look‘ like I’d been touched. But I could ‘feel‘ it. His arms around me. His mouth on mine. His smell.
This was too real to be a dream.
A few minutes later, I was with the ICT guys, asking them for a footage. Well, I was their Luna, and the moment I told them that someone might have broken into my room, they didn’t hesitate to give me what I wanted.
I checked the footage, and it came as a punch to the gut when I couldn’t find anything. No one had entered my room, not even while I was at work.
So, was it all a dream? Was that how the pill worked? It made everything feel real?
When I bathed that morning, I didn’t try to pleasure myself. I already felt this deep satisfaction in my belly. This unexplainable peace. It bothered me.

JARIS
I had done a lot of bad things in life. Killed people for committing minor offenses, and hurt those I shouldn’t have.
Yet, none had been as relieving as it was, having a taste of Lyric.
I might not have used the right approach, but I didn’t even care anymore.
Last night was one of the best nights I have had in a while. I slept more peacefully and woke up feeling as a light as a newborn.
The last time I felt this way was five years ago. I didn’t think it was possible for any other woman to make me feel the same way Princess made me felt back then. I thought that experience was gone forever, with her.
Throughout the meeting I had that morning, I couldn’t stop thinking about her. Lyric.
It was upsetting how much space she occupied in my head, considering the fact that this lady and I are not even friends and might never be.
When the meeting finished and I headed downstairs with Nerion and my assistant, we came across a mall in the complex. It wasn’t the first time I was having a meeting there, neither was it the first time I was walking past that mall. But it was the first time it drew my attention. Because I spotted a dress I knew would look good on her.

I stood, my hand gently in my shirt pocket as I observed the diamond–studded dress. I imagined her in it, her hair packed into a messy bun, her eyes dark and her lips stained with red. She’d look magnificent.
“Do you wish to get it for Marta?” Nerion asked beside me.
It was all I could do not to roll my eyes at him and ask if he’d lost his mind. When have I ever gotten things for Marta myself?
Whenever she wanted to shop, I only gave her the card and let her do the rest herself.
I turned away from the show glass, resuming my walk out of the building with my entourage behind me. But as I did, I got an idea. The only time Lyric had gone shopping was for the mating ceremony.
Taking out my phone, I dialed Kael who I knew was in Darkspire.
“Kael. I need you to do something for me.”

LYRIC
Jace kept me company through the morning.
We were in my room, him casually lying in my bed and talking random stuff after we just had breakfast. Someone knocked on the door, interrupting us.
“I’ll get it.”
I stood up and opened the door, and on the other side was Kael. His eyes traveled past my shoulder, landing on Jace. His shoulders grew tense at once.
“Hi.” I cleared my throat, bringing his eyes back to me.
“Lyric.” Just like that, his serious expression was back. “Please, dress up. I’ve been asked to take you somewhere.”
My brows furrowed. “Can I…know where? And who asked you?”
“Alpha Jaris. You can dress simple. I’ll wait in the car.”
He was gone before I could ask any question.
I closed the door, turning to Jace with a look of ‘this is what I have to go through in his hand.‘
“He told you to dress simple. I don’t think it’s somewhere serious,” Jace muttered, not looking
at me.

His eyes looked distant, like he was thinking about something.

I met Kael in the car and got in the backseat.
“Can I know where we’re going now?”
But the grumpy ass still didn’t say a word.
We drove for some time and into a large shopping complex. Okay…
“The Alpha wants you to shop for new dresses,” Kael finally said.
My brows shot to my hairline.
Okay. Was he kidding me?
“I don’t… understand. Why? Are we going somewhere?”
He shook his head. “He just wants you to have them for other occasions.”
Getting out of the car, he opened my car door for me. I was forced to get out.
Now, I understood why he didn’t tell me about this in the pack. He knew I was likely to kick against it.
“I didn’t even come with the black card!” I grumbled when it suddenly dawned on me on our way in.
“Don’t worry. I have a substitute.”
Right.
I had my arms crossed over my chest as we walked into the place. Two sales reps were quick to welcome me.
Kael stood back while they led me into the deeper part of the store, showing me their really pretty dresses.
They looked too expensive! How many could I possibly get from here? And why was Jaris doing this?
My stomach tightened when I thought of my last dream. Him sending me on this shopping spree wasn’t helping at all.
For over an hour, I tried different dresses and ended up leaving with more than five bags. I’d

wanted to stop a long time ago, but Kael showed up and told the ladies to get me more until he thought it was enough.
I was amazed.”
I thanked him in the car, a part of me excited that I actually got the clothes. They were quite pretty.
I guess I’d have to thank Jaris later. As hard as it’d be.
