**** Xanthe's POV****
I was to arrive on Friday with other werewolves back into the human realm. I got an invitation to a business party also. No one knows my identity as Xanthe Redwood because I haven't decided to allow the public know about me and my father was okay with my decision. I also began mastering my wolf. Her name was Mia . With each passing day, we became stronger and unstoppable. At this rate Mia might completely manifest before my birthday. I feel so excited but I'm almost scared to death when I imagine what everyone's reaction would be. But first I need to find my root and know how I became I werewolf. But where do I even start from? I guess I'll just atttend the party first before I think of anything. I need to know more about being a business woman if I ever want to be successful.
****LYNAM'S POV****
My quest for a contract bride will start in a few hours from now. I just need someone who can pretend for at least a year. I had invited almost everyone and their families in a quest to get one of their daughters
As they both got ready for the party, neither of them knew what would unfold next. Xanthe got dressed in an Elegant Black Dress while Lynam wore a tuxedo.
****Xanthe's POV****
Nobody knew of my arrival back home so I wasn't expecting anyone to be around to welcome me. But to my surprise, immediately I got home I found out that Dad had prepared for my arrival and he even got me a dress to attend the party. Immediately I freshened up and put on light make up with a simple necklace to match well with my dress.
Mate!! Mia immediately screamed as soon as we got into the large mansion. I thought I was just hearing things so I ignored it. I tried looking around for my Dad but to no avail. After wondering around for some time, I ran into Lynam - the last person I wanted to see at that moment.
****Lynam POV****
Immediately I set my eyes on Xanthe, I was so mesmerized by her beauty. Even my mood lightened up with just her presence. But like always she ignored me and went in her business. I was so determined to get revenge on this girl but for that I needed to know whose daughter she belongs to. I vowed to make her my contract bride no matter the circumstances.
After bumping into Lynam, I found my dad and I was introduced to a few people. I never knew I had caused trouble to myself by meeting the devil himself.
After returning home with Dad, I found out that both mom and Aisha were on a trip. So I began the search for answers in the entire house but I got nothing. I felt so frustrated and tired that I didn't know when I fell asleep. I woke up to the sound of broken bottles and plates only to find out that the house was being raised and some of the female servants were being sexual harassed and beaten up. Just as if the heavens opened, I found my self transforming angrily and I immediately charged towards the robbers. It happened within seconds that after everything I was left stunned. Nobody could comprehend exactly what had happened or what creature was sent to appear in that situation so they all brushed it off as a figment of their imagination.
Retiring back to my room, I was left completely speechless because even I didn't understand what just happened. I just knew that time wasn't on my side any longer.
