Sould As The Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 83: Maybe I Could Fall for You

The night of the party, Magnolia and the stylist came to dress me. After yesterday’s preparations, things got done. quite efficiently.

I’d settled on a slim fitting dress that was lavender col- ored. It had little off the shoulder, three quarter sleeves and a chiffon fringe around the waistline and down the front of the skirt. The fringe went around the hemline at my shins.

It was a good dancing dress, but I didn’t think I’d be doing much of that. I was only going to the party as a way to get Luther to let his guard down so I could get out of there. Still, I had to look nice and like I was enjoying myself.

After they were done doing my hair and makeup, and draping me with expensive jewelry, I looked at myself in the full length mirror. I never want to sound arrogant, but I did look beautiful.

If Theo saw me, he’d probably get upset again, thinking I was trying to impress Luther or something.

At the thought of Theo, my lips stung and I raised a hand to them, brushing my fingers along them, remembering his kiss.

Shaking my head, I pushed that memory aside and I head- ed to the banquet hall where Luther had the party going. Al- ready, there were a bunch of guests there.

Many of them I recognized as alphas and leaders of other packs. I wasn’t sure if they would recognize me.

I was surprised, because It seemed that Luther’s influence was way more than I originally anticipated. I did a quick count and noted down those alphas’ names.

There were a lot of other people there, too. People that probably worked for Luther. This was his party at his mansion, after all.

I’d need to keep my guard up and be careful. Otherwise, I’ d never pull this off.

“Hey you,” Luther said, coming up to me and taking my shawl, like a gentleman. He handed it off to a waitress that walked by.

“This is a lot bigger than I expected,” I commented, taking a look at all the people dancing.

“I would like to introduce you to people,” he said, holding his hand out to me, “but before that, may I have a dance?”

I looked at his outstretched hand and hesitated. This wasn’t why I was here. I didn’t want to get too distracted or wrapped up in things, or give “Tallis” more of an excuse to freak out. Still, I needed Luther to drop his guard, too.

“Of course,” I said, taking his hand.

Luther led me onto the dance floor amidst a swirl of other gowns. He was dressed nicely in a deep, black tuxedo that shimmered like satin under direct light. Sometimes, his hand- some face made it hard to relate him to a vengeful rebellion.

He held my right hand firmly and then looped his arm

around my waist, pulling me close. My cheeks flushed a little at how close we were and I pressed my free hand to his chest to keep some distance between us.

“Don’t be so shy. This is a party,” Luther teased, winking at

I reminded myself that I needed him to loosen up and let his guard down. With a gentle smile, I moved my hand to his shoulder and allowed him to pull me against him.

Luther was an excellent dancer. I was a little surprised by how gracefully he moved me around the dance floor, spinning me and twirling along with the other bright colored dresses.
