"Milord!" Beatrice gasped, bowing her head to the man that stood behind them.
"Good day Milord." Mel bowed too, and Beatrice bit her lips.
"Hmm, how are you two enjoying the banquet?" The Lord of Viscoria asked with a smile.
"We just got here Milord, the banquet is sure going to be great." Mel answered as Beatrice kept quiet.
She was still wondering whether or not the Lord of Viscoria had heard her talk about him in such way.
He was a good man and he would do nothing to her. She assured herself.
"What about you Lady Beatrice?" She felt her soul leave her body.
Raising her head up, Beatrice gave the Lord a smile and looked away.
"The banquet will be great Milord." She said and they Lord nodded.
"Lady Beatrice."
"Lady Herbert." Beatrice called to have the woman nod.
"Milord." Lady Herbert gave a slight bow and the man nodded to her as well.
"It seems you've met the Lord already." Lady Yuan said, and yawned.
"Not getting enough sleep lately?" The Lord asked for Yuan to nod her head.
"Get some rest Yuan and go to Zane for the parchment." The Lord said, leaving the women to go meet the congressmen.
"What did they Lord said, when he first got here?" Lady Herbert asked in a whisper.
Beatrice shook her head.
"He just asked about the banquet Lady Herbert, and stop whispering, they may take you for a gossiper while you're not Milady." Beatrice said, and they woman shrugged.
"Who cares about what people says Beatrice, it's something you need to learn Beatrice. You don't always have to care about what people might say Beatrice. They word has said a lot about you ever since you were born, why care not?" Lady Herbert said, and Lady Yuan nodded.
"I will be taking my leave now, be sure to enjoy the banquet with Lady Herbert Beatrice." Lady Yuan said, while walking away.
"The Lord is sure enjoying his banquet, this is the fourth woman he has danced with ever since he parted with us, how surprising!" Mel huffed.
"The Lord is a handsome man Lady Mel, it is fair women throw themselves to him." Lady Herbert said to have Beatrice snort.
"I don't see you throwing your self at him, pardon me for my way of words Milady. But this women are pathetic people." Beatrice answered, and Mel nodded
"My sister is always right." Mel said, smiling as she walked away from the two ladies to go danced with a man.
"And why are they pathetic Lady Beatrice, all they want is to dance not to get in to his sheets, those are two different things you see." Herbert said, and Beatrice nodded.
"If you say so Milady." Beatrice muttered to have the lady smiling.
"You are so cute."
"Don't flatter me Milady."
*****
"Milord." Zane bowed at the man that had just let a woman go.
"What is it Zane, speak your mind." The Lord of Viscoria said, as he waited for another woman to come dance with him.
They women were leeches he could not send away, after all, he had made a banquet and he was sure to dance with whoever was ready to danced.
"It is nothing Milord, I would just like you to take a good look at the patio at the upper floor." Zane said, and walked away.
The Lord of Viscoria sighed as he looked up.
And just as he did, his eyes locked with hers and he smiled before turning to the crowd and smiling at them.
"Why does it seems as if you're avoiding the inevitable?" Yuan came to him and he took her stretched hand.
"You keep disappointing me Yuan, I guess Zane has not yet put it in your head." They Lord said.
Lady Yuan frowned.
"What does Zane has to do with his conversation?"
"Zane has always been part of our conversation dear Yuan." They Lord answered to have the Lady glare at him.
"I think this is where our dance will have to come to an end Milord." Yuan said, as she let go of they Lord.
"Fair well then."
They Lord shook his head, as he watched the congressmen leave.
His brows creased when the a man entered the banquet room.
"Hmm.. didn't know you would make it Niklaus, I would have sent the invitation myself if I knew." They Lord said to have the other man laugh.
"I wonder what gets in to your head every time you wake up, no offence Milord. But you act so callous compare to the other Lord." They man named Niklaus said.
"Oh? isn't that why I am so different than they rest. I guess that is my charm." Lord Wolfarine said, and the man nodded.
Wolfarine moved a little to see the little woman behind him.
"Ha, you brought a woman?" He asked.
"Don't look at her longer than necessary Milord, she's off limits." Niklaus glared at the Lord.
"Oh, pardon my callous charm for wanting to do it's perfection." Lord Wolfarine said and chuckled.
"What is your name dear?"
"Isabelle, Milord."
"Oh dear Isabelle."
"Refrain from talking to her Wolfarine." They man in front of they Lord said, pushing the girl behind him and glaring at they Lord.
"My My My, how would I have known that she was that special, beats me to know how you met her?" They Lord's lips quirked up In a smile.
"You don't have to know, enjoy your banquet, I will be off." Niklaus said, grabbing they woman's hand and walking away.
"How boring he has turned."
They Lord of Viscoria sighed.
He wasn't the Lord for nothing, or because he was elected.
His father had being the alpha before him.
He wasn't just an Alpha.
He was they Alpha King. He ruled Alphas that ruled their clans.
His eyes shone Amber and his wolf snarled.
He knew why, but he was not going to let his wolf control him.
He had they control not his Wolf!
