Still Valerie’s POV
“Is this the peasant trying to share a man with me?” her friend asked, coming out for the first time. She has been standing behind Charlotte all this while and when she finally showed her face, I noticed the expensive pieces of jewelry and designer outfits she is wearing. As if that was not enough, she released her aura, trying to make me submit to her. I felt her aura, it was a bit intimidating and so fucking strong. But that was all I could make out of it, I had no urge to submit to her or something like that. So I stared at her fixedly, sizing her up the same way she was sizing me up.
“What the hell are you doing, Val?
That’s Beverly Kingston, the lycan princess. You can’t be starting at her like that, it would give you away, and you’ll be caught and punished by the king. The Lycans have their beasts, so we are forced to submit to them. When you meet a lycan, you don’t just stand there and size them up, you bow your head in submission to prove that you are loyal and submissive. I know you don’t feel intimidated by her aura, and I don’t feel suppressed either, but I know better than to insult a lycan princess in the presence of a crowd. Your sister is trying to set you up and get you exposed, she is doing this on purpose, my love. You can’t let her succeed, you need to fake it. Look around you and watch everyone’s position, then stand exactly the same way as the others.” Maverick instructed me firmly, sounding a bit pissed.
I wonder why he is being furious, could he be furious at me for not recognizing the aura of a lycan, or is he furious because she came here unannounced and she is trying to side with my sister and bully me. I’m hoping the latter is the case because I don’t see why he would be getting pissed off at me when he knows that I’m still getting to learn about us bit by bit. It’s not as if there is an instructional manual or something like that, so how the fuck does he expect me to know all about these things?
“You stupid bitch!
It took you long enough to recognize me and acknowledge my presence. I thought you needed to be taught a lesson because it seems you are one of the rogues that feel we don’t deserve your submission. I’m glad you realized your mistakes before it gets you in trouble.” She started firmly, sounding strict and fierce. I did exactly what Maverick said I should do, I peeked at my surrounding to see what the others are doing, then I hung my neck low in submission and she seems pleased with the fact that I acknowledged her presence publicly.
“She’s not submissive to you, she’s faking it. I know this bitch, I fucking grew up with her. She is not humble and submissive. She also has magical powers that make her strong and evil.” Charlotte let out angrily, and she pushed and shoved me, trying to get me to raise my head defiantly and attack her back. But I didn’t make any move, and when she pushed me harder, I let myself fall to the floor, feigning it.
“Good girl,” Maverick comments, and I almost smiled and blushed at his comments but I held back from exposing myself and ruining what I’ve been working so hard to achieve. I wanted to look around the room and search for him, but I could look up for any reason whatsoever. Charlotte looks so stupid right now, and I know that she is looking for a chance to expose me and prove to her friend that I’m as powerful as she obviously told her earlier. One tiny mistake is all it would take for her to get me exposed and probably killed. But I maintained my position and stared at the floor, keeping my head bowed in submission.
“I don’t know what you were thinking when you invited me over here, telling me stories of magic and powerful sorcery. I’m a very busy person, Charlotte, and I won’t get dragged into your silly rivalry with this woman. I’m only letting this go because my lover is around here somewhere. But trust me, the next time you try this shit with me, I’ll make sure you regret it.” The lycan princess scolded her, making her grind her teeth in anger as she glared dangerously at me.
“Ignore her and just focus on me, I’ll give you a signal to leave. And when I do, please leave immediately. Stay away from Charlotte and leave Beverly to me, I can handle her.” He told me once more, making me more curious about this lycan princess. Like, why the hell is she here, and what did she mean when she said her lover was here?
“You fucking bitch!
I’m going to kill you and rip out your…”
“Hold it right there!” Maverick let out fiercely, stopping her from completing that statement.
“You can’t waltz into my building and threaten my secretary. I won’t take that from anyone important, not to mention someone as insignificant as you are, saying such hateful words to my Secretary. I will not take that shit from you. Now get your sorry self out of my property before I call security on you.” He told her sternly, making her scoff in disgust.
“I’ll leave Maverick, but not because you asked me to go. You have no right to kick me out of your office building because my husband is your business partner, remember?” she asked mockingly as she sauntered towards the exit, swaying her hips as she left.
“I’ll be back, Val, I will be back.” She called out to me with a smirk on her face. Sometimes, she can be a real pain in the ass if she wants to. I just don’t know how to get her to stop, I don’t know how to get her to do anything, and it’s so annoying and frustrating.
“Hello, lover boy…
That was so hot, My love. You know I like it when you get all bossy and Dominant?” Beverly let out excitedly, sounding like a fucking, dirty whore.
“What the hell are you doing here, Beverly?
Are you trying to get me arrested and locked up in the dungeon again, is that why you are here?” he asked her firmly, trying to keep his eyes away from mine to avoid suspicions. But I caught his eyes on mine, and I know that is the signal that he spoke about earlier. He wants me to leave so I don’t hear all this, but my curiosity won’t let me leave. I want to know what happened between the two of them and why she is back here even when she knows that he is betrothed to Cameron. I think she is here to cause trouble, she wants to have him back and kick Cameron out of the picture.
Damn!
It’s going to be so much fun to watch their battle for a man that doesn’t like either of them. I almost laughed at the irony of it all, I mean, barely a few weeks ago, her dad had been here to force Maverick to commit to Cameron. Now his daughter is here to claim him as her lover and force Cameron to submit to her. I wonder if he knows that his daughter is here to cause trouble and destroy the relationship between Maverick and Cameron that he approved a few months ago. I would love to see that bitch suffer intimidation, she is too proud and evil. She carries herself like a queen despite the fact that she is not yet married to Maverick. I would love to see if she can stand up to Beverly and fight for Maverick.
She has made it pretty clear that she doesn’t want to see any girl close to Maverick, I wonder what she would do to the lycan Princess when she finds out that she had an affair with Maverick while he was in the lycan palace. Will she go running and crying to her daddy, begging him to call the lycan king and tell him to talk sense to his daughter, or will she rise to the occasion and fight for her man?
Wait a minute,
Why am I bothered about the fight between Cameron and Beverly, when I should be more worried about myself and the fact that Maverick may or may not have been in a relationship with Beverly Kingston, the Lycan princess. For fucks sake this guy is such a manwhore, I’m sure she is not the only girl he fucked while he was there. Should I be worried that he can’t control his fucking dick, is he going to keep banging other girls when we finally get mated?
