DIEGO
“Are you ready?” I asked Anna, who sat beside me in the car, dressed in a lovely red sparkling dress.
She dropped her eyes on me and nodded with a response, “Yes, I am.”
I smirked and gave a quick stare at her beautiful body in the dress. It’s one of the gowns we didn’t get to try at that boutique, and I must say it’s really hot on her.
Not to delay with the plan, I wore my disguise, which would hide my identity from Gamma Jay or any other person who would recognize me in there, before stepping out of the car with Anna right next to me, heading towards the entrance of the mansion.
There were a lot of guests outside the entrance, who were being checked by the bodyguards at the door.
Some who thought their names where on the list were humiliated and kicked out, giving way for others to come in.
When it came to mine and Anna’s turn… “Mr and Mrs Callaway,” I said, giving our fake names.
And after a few seconds of searching… “You’re welcome,” The bodyguards said, allowing Anna and I into the party.
Everything is going perfectly well.
Anna was stunned by the easy access into the Hall. She had given me this questioning look but held it back with a smile, clinging to me like we were indeed a couple.
I would have taken my eyes off her and concentrated on the mission, but the sight of her cleavage made it hard for me.
I’d look away for a brief moment then back at chest for a another show. And when she turned over to face me, I’d immediately compose myself.
We went over to our special seat, which had our fake names on it, and sat down together.
While sitting… “Anna,” I called her attention, noticing her airpod showing from her right ear.
“Yes?” She responded, looking at me.
I pointed at my ear and said, ” It’s showing. Cover it up.”
“Oh, okay,” She uttered, dressing her hair properly. But it wasn’t enough.
Seeing she wasn’t doing it right, I got up to my feet and came over to her point, pretending to adjust her seat closer to the table.
Then I placed her hair properly to the side and said, “It wasn’t covered.”
“Oh, sorry,” she apologized, looking innocent.
Is it me or has Anna suddenly gotten soft after what happened yesterday?
She has been acting obedient to me since this morning and I’ve been taking note of everything.
When I suggested this dress, she didn’t argue but said Okay. Even when we got into the car and I discussed the plan with her again, all she did was nod and utter the words Yes and Okay!
It felt weird seeing her so composed and obedient to my every instructions. It’s like she has changed or something.
“Diego, your phone,” She said, indicating the flashing light in my pocket.
Seems I’ll take that statement back. She still calls me by name.
I went over to my seat and took out my phone to answer the call.
An Info came in from one of my guards, who was outside the venue watching, that the Gamma just arrived and was coming into the mansion.
I directed my eyes towards the entrance and saw Gamma Jay stepping inside in his cold and emotionless expression, carefully making his way to his own seat, which was three tables behind me.
With our target around, I called Anna’s attention and asked, “Do you see the man that just walked in?”
“Yeah, the one putting on a green tuxedo?” She asked, showing how active she was with her environment.
“Yes. That’s Gamma Jay,” I shared, acting normal.
Anna looked amused. I watched how she sat up and crossed her legs like some boss lady, covering the side of her mouth for only me to see, saying, “Seems I don’t need to stress myself in getting his attention.”
“Why?” I asked, lifting my brow at her.
Anna glanced at me briefly before taking her gaze right behind me, saying, ” He’s already looking at me.”
Wait, she can’t be serious.
He just came in and he’s already looking at her?
I thought Anna was pulling my legs so as to trick me into looking. But on taking out my phone and looking directly at the screen, I saw Jay’s attention on her!
She was right!
“That stage is crossed,” Anna said, giving the Gamma a secret wave. And he responded to it with the same gesture.
“Impressive! She really has the magic all around her body,” I admired, watching how Anna acted like all naughty, giving the Gamma secret signs to win him over.
I didn’t bother to check but played along pretending not to see her action.
When the party started fully with the whole guests now on their feet, drinking, dancing and celebrating the host, Anna and I saw the Gamma moving up to a pillar in the midst of a few people, just to be on his own.
“Hold on,” Anna said, pulling away from my side and heading towards him.
I had to move into a hidden spot and watch how my skilled partner pretended to miss a step, and bump right into Jay.
The Gamma had moved with speed, saving her like she wanted. Then Anna gave him a sweet smile and blushed, thanking him for his help.
“Don’t mention it,” He smirked, running his finger down her skin with his eyes hovering around her body.
“Damn, she’s good,” I admitted, feeling proud of the way she carried that act smoothly.
She has captured his attention already. The fool must be craving to have her now.
I noticed how he secretly placed his arm on Anna’s waist and asked if she would like to come with him for a moment.
“Oh, I can’t. My husband is around here somewhere. I don’t want him looking for me,” She lied, pretending to be cautious of her surroundings.
“But we can meet outside if you don’t mind. Maybe give me a signal and I’ll join you?” She ran her finger on him seductively, pleasing Jay.
The Gamma simpered at her tempting offer and said, whispering into the right eye where her airpod was, “My car is the blue one parked at the lamp pole in the parking lot. Meet me there when you see me leaving.”
I heard it clearly from my own pod and immediately messaged a guard to search the vehicle for the substance, and to also get me the plate number just in case.
“Of course, Mr…”
“Call me Jay,” He introduced, flirting with Anna.
She bit down on her lower lip and introduced herself, “Elena.”
“That’s a hot name for a goddess like yourself,” He commented with a wink, before walking away.
Anna did the same by heading into a different spot which was hidden from the Gamma’s sight. Then I came out of mine and walked up to her, sensing the discomfort all over her body.
“Are you okay?” I asked, taking hold of her hand.
She looked at me and nodded, answering with just one word, “Yeah.”
But that wasn’t enough.
“Your answer contradicts what I’m seeing. You are shivering,” I pointed out, feeling the vibration in her hand.
She gave out a sigh and said, ” I don’t know. I just don’t feel okay with the Gamma. There’s something off about his scent, and his face… Maybe I’m just getting worried because of the mission.” She chortled, trying to subdue her feeling.
But I could tell she was finding it hard to do so.
Maybe it’s because of the way he was touching and talking to her. The Gamma is like the other two, but quite different.
There must be something in his touch that makes women attracted to him.
Wait… “I hope you aren’t falling for Mr hotty and…”
“What? Don’t be stupid!” She bumped my arm, finally expressing her crazy side. “I am not like all those girls that melt when they see men like him.”
“But you were trembling. Could it be that he traced a weak spot I’m not aware of,” I teased on, annoying Anna further.
She groaned at me and responded, grabbing my suit tightly, ” I was only shaking because my inner beast doesn’t like him. I was uncomfortable!”
“Then what about me?” I asked, carefully pulling her close from the waist and into my hold.
Anna gasped when my arm came around her. It made her face turn red in an instant.
“Do I make you uncomfortable?” I ran my finger across her face, feeling her body vibrating to my touch.
“No… you only trouble my life,” She answered, denying the sensation her body was releasing.
My sense doesn’t lie. She likes the way I’m holding her. She just don’t want to admit it.
I didn’t mind but went along, placing Anna’s hand on my shoulder and dancing with her.
Her tremble ceased. She became calm yet shy to look me in the eyes.
Her body responded to my every touch with a soft moan escaping her lips. Then her head carefully fell on my chest with her hands going tight around mine.
When I felt her closeness, my whole body tingled.
I felt this weird energy my wolf released. It was a sign that it wanted and craved for Anna’s body.
I took a sniff of her hair and Fuck, it felt so appealing to my system.
My memory flashed to yesterday’s moment in her room and her so called practice on me. If I hadn’t controlled myself and gave in to the urges, I would have banged her body so hard until I came hard inside her honeypot.
I really wanted to fuck Anna so bad. I should have showed her right there that I wasn’t the type that takes such games and let my prey go. I would have done it right away, but I didn’t.
BEEP! My phone buzzed in my pocket, ending the moment. I pulled it out and read my guard’s message.
He sent the plate number, but the drugs… “Damn it!”
“What?” Anna asked, lifting her head to look at me.
“It’s not in the Gamma’s car. It must be at his place,” I shared, keeping my phone back.
“Well, the only option is to follow him down there. I’ll have to go along with him to his hideout, ” She said, sounding confident.
Just a few minutes ago she was trembling due to the Gamma’s touch, and now she’s making up her mind to go with him to his place?
“No, that means you’ll be alone with him. He could do anything to you.”
“Um, you’ll be following from behind, right?” She lifted her brow, smirking at me.
“I think I’ll be okay if Alpha Lord is right behind me. You won’t allow that stinky Gamma to get close, like the way you did with Sullivan and Xavier,” She said with so much faith in her words.
And that got to me.
The plan wasn’t to get Anna to follow Jay to his place. I wanted to corner the Gamma on the way and get the drugs from him, but the plan has changed.
Before I could agree to Anna’s decision, she tapped me and said, “He’s on the move!”
We looked and saw Gamma Jay exiting the mansion, with his head looking around, probably searching for Anna.
“Looks like it’s time. I’ll get him to take me to his place, ” She said, rushing out of my hold and after the Gamma.
When she pulled away, I felt this sharp feeling that traveled around my body. It was a sensation I’ve once felt in the past. One that made me the man I am today.
I felt something was going to happen if I didn’t stop Anna from going with Jay, but knowing she had so much faith in me, I held back. “We need to get this done once and for all.”
Walking to one of the pillars which was close to a window where the lamp pole the Gamma talked about was situated, I watched Anna conversing with Jay next to his car.
Through my pod, she spoke dirty with the Gamma, who immediately agreed to her request, opening the door of his vehicle for her to step in.
Seeing this, I decided to make my move and hit the road when suddenly, my informant back at Crescent, called me.
I didn’t want to pick at first but gave in and answered the call. Only for him to deliver a shocking message to me.
“Alpha, I just spoke with Beta Xavier. He said all those ladies with the Gamma are just lab rats to his experiment. He doesn’t fuck with them but injects the drug into their body!”
“What?!” I exclaimed, realizing the danger Anna was in.
I ran out of the mansion and discovered the car was leaving already!
Quickly, I ended the call with my informant and began to speak to Anna through the airpod, to get out from the car!
She heard my order and said to Jay, “Goodness, can you stop briefly? I forgot to give my husband an excuse. I don’t want him to suspect a thing.”
“And that reminds me, Elena… How did you get mated so fast, if your own mate rejected you at the altar?”
“What?!” Anna exclaimed, sounding shocked.
“Rejected? What’s he talking about?” I wondered, but sensed Jay knew something about Anna!
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Of course you do, Elena… Or should I say, Anastasia De Great, ” Jay called Anna by a name which I believed to be hers, because she went dead silent!
Suddenly… “You won’t be needing this airpor your wonderful Alpha gave to you,” Jay said, revealing his awareness to my presence.
And that’s when I heard his voice, before destroying the device, “You’re still slow, Diego.”
