ANASTASIA
“Oh, I see. It’s nice to meet you,” He said, keeping his arms on me.
He didn’t give Damian a hand shake nor did he put much of his attention on the duo. He began acting all lovey dovey with me, surprising me with this naughty side of his.
Someone has a lot of explaining to do.
“Alpha Diego?” I heard Cassandra call Alpha Lord by his name, getting we the couple, to look at her.
She was still bewildered by this surprise, but tried to hide it with a smile. “I’m Cassan… This is surprising!” She pulled out her hand for a shake, but she got no response.
“Do you know me or did my sweetheart make mention of me in my absence?” Diego flirted with me, playing dirty openly.
“No, I didn’t,” I giggled, playing along with my arms falling around his neck. “I’m innocent.”
“Are you?” Diego smirked, pulling my body closer than ever.
Our romantic drama began to get to Cassandra and Damian. I could see the anger in their eyes when they realized that their assumptions about me was nothing but a big fallacy!
Anna isn’t homeless. She has her own man. A much better and attractive man.
Unable to stand this, Cassandra cleared her throat and said, “No, she didn’t mention anything about dating the Alpha of Crescent pack to us. Maybe she was getting to that part.”
My stepsister dropped her eyes on me, giving out a forced smile.
“Alpha Damian,” Her husband introduced, extending his hand out to Diego.
Alpha Lord lifted his brow and uttered, slowly pulling and arm off my body to shake Damian’s hand, “Alpha you say?”
Damian boldly confirmed it, introducing himself as the Alpha of Wolf Blood and my so-called brother in-law.
“I’m assuming Anastasia never mentioned me to you.” He dropped his gaze on me, almost like he was angry.
Then Diego replied, “That’s because I never asked nor did I care to know about her past. All that matters is the present and the future.”
He pecked my hand lovingly, still keeping me closer to his chest.
Damian and Cassandra stared on with fake smiles on their faces. They couldn’t say anything else aside from gawking like dummies.
I was enjoying this moment until I began to feel the itch kicking in. Diego’s touch was getting to me and I was finding it hard to hold back. I gave out a soft gasp and ran my hand on Diego’s chest, calling him seductively, “Diego.”
Casey and Damian heard me. I saw the way they looked at themselves in surprise, realizing that I was still infected with the drugs Step mom placed in me.
But they didn’t know I was purposely making use of my condition to show them that I was leaving the life of a nymphomaniac, who found favor in the eyes of a worthy beast.
“Anna?” Diego called, looking at my face.
He noticed I was feeling the wave, so he whispered into my ear from the right, ” Try to hold yourself. We’ll head back to my car quickly.”
He planned, getting ready to take me away, while I secretly used his whispers to trick Casey and Damian into thinking that Diego was whispering naughty words into my ear.
The rage in their gaze, most especially Casey, pleases my heart. She tried to maintain a smile but her eyes failed her.
Damian didn’t bother to show any expression. His face was completely filled with anger.
Even without his brow narrowing down to show it, I could tell. After all, I used to be his mate back then.
To make it spicy, I grabbed Diego by his shirt like a wild beast and said, “Now.”
Then I pulled him along, out of my stepsister and ex-mate’s sight.
Finally we were out of their troubling aura. I felt so much better and alive. In fact, my whole body felt sweet when those two gazed at Diego and I in shock.
It felt so good to rub my affairs right in their stupid faces!
But first… “Come,” I said to Diego, pulling his hand until we were fully hidden away from those two.
“What are you doing? This is not the way out,” Diego complained, trying to get me to the lift.
“Forget it!” I slapped his hands off me, glaring at him.
My action amused Diego, who wondered what had happened to the sweet Anastasia from earlier.
Calming my temper, I asked, “You knew they were coming to this party, didn’t you?”
He went quiet.
His action only confirmed my suspicious after seeing the way he acted around me. “How could you?!” I groaned, grabbing his collar.
“Why didn’t you tell me that my stepsister and that idiot husband of hers were coming?!”
“So that you would end up erupting like the way you’re doing now? Yeah, that’s why,” He smirked, pleased with his action.
I growled and almost slammed my fist on Diego’s chest, but he grabbed my wrist, stopping me.
“Relax, Anna. Pull yourself together! I had to keep it away from you, until we got here. I didn’t plan to hide it. I wasn’t expecting you to come face to face with them.”
“And now I feel so mad. Gosh!” I slapped my forehead, puffing out steam.
“So, all those talk about wanting me next to you was just to deceive me?” I asked, recalling all that he said from last night.
“You tricked me, didn’t you?” I flashed my eyes at him, feeling my heart aching.
“No.” He swayed his head, caressing my face. “I didn’t. I meant every word. I do need you,” He assured me, bringing his face closer.
My face came heating up when his lips almost came in contact with mine. I immediately turned away with a smile, biting down on my lip.
“You handled those two perfectly well. I saw how you played along like the naughty girl you are.”
“Diego, stop.” I blushed, poking him from teasing on.
“You’ll only trigger my body further,” I alerted, secretly grabbing my right boob to ease the urges.
When he saw this, he decided to take me back to his car and help solve my needs, but I refused, telling him I was fine.
“We can’t keep running back and forth whenever it starts. I’ll just try to resist for tonight.”
“Are you sure? ” He asked with concern in his gaze.
“Yeah,” I nodded, assuring him.
Diego accepted my wish and decided to share his plan against Damian and Cassandra with me. “Arnold called to give me an information on the Alpha’s closeness to a wealthy fellow who left the party before we even arrived. The missing guest is also into the Mafia business.”
“Oh, so you suspect Damian is also a Mafia?”
“No, he’s completely clean with no evidence to prove it. But he is associating with one. Maybe not just him, but your stepmother and stepsister,” He shared.
It made sense to me.
How else did Linda get that drug if she wasn’t involved with a Mafia?
And she always sings father’s rules to Casey and I when he’s not around.
Gosh, I despise her.
“Now this is what you’ll do. ” He carefully pulled me out of the corner, pretending to have a normal couple talk with me. “You’ll have to keep your stepsister busy while I meet Damian and cook up something to get him hooked.”
“Crap. You want me to watch over that witch?”
“Anna, ” He looked at me, clenching to my hand gently. “Just endure. You’ll only get your revenge if you comply with every plan. Don’t allow your anger to get the best of you, okay?”
Having no choice, I agreed.
Diego soon left my spot to find Damian, while I slowly moved around, looking for that devil of a sister.
“Just endure, Anna. Endure.”
