****Lynam POV****
Michelle has been trying real hard to get my attention but I've never given her any. I tried explaining to her but she's determined to get married to me. I really have been trapped. Anyways it's just an engagement. I'll have to come up with a proper plan.
Lynam!! - Daniel called
Shall we go? - Asked Daniel
Alright - I replied. I just need to get the car keys .
Lynam are you alright. I know you are uncomfortable but we have no other option than to attend the engagement today in other to buy some time for our selves.
Daniel, I understand so. Don't worry too much.
I knew that I was Lying. I'm not alright. This whole marriage thing has taken a toll on me. To add to it, sometimes I find myself thinking about Xanthe. I so much loathe her. There's nothing likable about her. She's just need to be tamed.
****Xanthe's POV****
Being in the werewolf realm was the last thing I expected before my birthday. But I keep wondering how it's possible. Thinking back, I feel guilty for not paying heed to that Old lady. My life has really taken a drastic turn but I'm sure I would be able to overcome anything as far as I put my mind into it. As upcoming wolves we had to train vigorously each day since our wolves were late in manifesting. I felt myself growing in both physical and mental strength. I began to enjoy both worlds and also learned how to keep a balance in the two worlds. Unlike other wolves this really interested me. But my biggest concern was how to break the news to my parents. I've been in the wolf kingdom for a few days and I haven't contacted anyone from the human world. My Dad must have been really worried but Mom and Aisha would be delighted to have me gone forever. I felt really bad when I remembered the hatred those two had for me. But In other to meet my Dad, I had to survive this madness.
The engagement went as per my father's wish. I tried explaining to her but she's so obsessed with power. I guess I've no other option than to look for a contract bride. And I'll do that during the company party.
Daniel please invite all the business men and their families over for the partnership business party on Friday.
With that settled, I was able to focus on my work. As expected, my father and his close associates had no idea whatsoever about this occassion and just to be on the safer side, I made it to be strictly by invite so no matter how wealthy you are, you can't get in without my permission.
Everything was planned for the party but Lynam didn't know that this event would change his life forever. In a bid to frustrate his father, Lynam made all his father's enemies his allies and had been working with them for the past few years because they were all trustworthy and capable. All preparations were made for the party and it also happens that Xanthe was to arrive that day.
