4. Facial Flaws
The party was in full swing by the time they got there, the whole atmosphere burned with the smell of wolfsbane and they could tell that half of the people there were probably drunk or completely wasted- passed out probably.
The trio stood in front of the large house and glared at it, maybe if they looked at it long enough, it would decide that it didnât want them inside it but that was impossible, it was a house for crying out loud, it couldnât make its own decisions.
âWell, Iâm going inâ, Desiree announced and took a step towards the building, the boys followed behind her closely, if they didnât reek of power, you could mistake them for her bodyguards. Desiree pushed the door open, not having the patience or politeness to knock- she was the luna princess after all, she saw no reason to ask for permission from people.
As the three of them stepped into the house, the hundreds of young adults paused and the music stopped playing, everybody calculated their next move carefully as they thought- what the hell were they doing here? They were never ones to go for unsupervised parties so why in the hell were they here? At a college party that was full of hard alcohol and mischief.
After a minute or more of absolute silence, a guy strolled over to them, he bowed his head slightly before talking to them, âYour highnesses, I wasnât expecting you guys hereâ,
âWell, we came here to party and socializeâ, Desiree placed her hand on the guyâs broad chest in the most sensual way possible, making Alec growl under his breath. He loved her a lot but hated the fact that she had the tendency of flirting with random guys, it really pissed him off that she could not see just how much it hurt him when she did it. If she knew, would it even change anything? She was who she was.
âThen party and socialize you willâ, he gave the luna princess a smirk as dirty thoughts ran through his mind, he wondered whether he could actually get her into his bed by the end of the night or how it would be like to bed someone from the royal court,
âBack off dudeâ, DJ pushed the guy away from his younger sister, âI donât like the way you are thinkingâ, he stared at the guy with the sole purpose of intimidating him, he had felt all the lustful waves that had been directed to Desiree by the guy and he did not like it one bit.
The guy rubbed his neck sheepishly and took a step back, âI am sorryâ, he felt embarrassed, âAnyways, feel free, it is an honor having you in my homeâ, he was about to leave before Alec said,
âOh, you mean your parentâs home?â, he tilted his head to the side, also trying to intimidate the guy, âYouâre Nathan, only son of Alpha and Luna Shayâ.
DJ smirked at his beta, âWell, someoneâs been doing their homeworkâ, he folded his arms across his chest, making all the girls swoon over his magnificent body. He was wearing a plain white shirt that he had rolled up to his elbows, the rest of his hands bulging out of the tight fitted shirt.
âWhat is it to you?â, the guys eyebrows furrowed in worry,
âNothing reallyâ, Alec stepped forward, his taller frame towering over the guy that could be considered tall himself, âI just wonder if your parents know youâre throwing a party in their houseâ, he knew that what he was doing was very unnecessary, but he had crossed the line the moment he started picturing the luna princess naked. âOrâ, he pulled out his phone, âI wonder if I should just ask them myself?â, the guy gulped visibly,
âThereâs no need for thatâ, his jaw clenched together tightly- painfully, âHave a nice nightâ, with one last bow, he joined the crowd and the party continued.
Desiree tapped Alec, âThat was uncoolâ, she frowned at him angrily,
âWell, he was thinking impure things about youâ, Alec shrugged, this was not the way he had thought this would turn out, he was expecting her to praise him for what he did, he stood up for her! He was expecting her to be impressed, he had acted just like her, so why wasnât she?
âIt was none of your business Alec. I love you as a brother but sometimes you go overboardâ, with that, she walked away from them, leaving one hurt as hell and the other sorry for his friend who had just gotten his heart broken by his sister. She saw him as a brother and nothing more.
âDude, calm the fuck downâ, DJ slapped the tenth cup of wolfsbane out of his best friendâs hand,
âShe called me her fucking brother DJâ, he slurred in his drunken state, âHer fucking brotherâ, he grabbed the whole bottle from the kitchen counter and gulped the whole thing down,
âWith the way youâre throwing this shit down, you might probably die before midnightâ, he took the bottle from his hand and threw it in the trash, âIf you do, I have no explanation for your parentsâ,
âHereâs an explanation; the girl Iâve loved for seventeen years just brother zoned meâ, he chuckled at his own sense of humor, âGoddess, Iâm drunkâ, Alec said after standing up and nearly falling to the floor.
âYouâre just realizing that?â, DJ cocked up an eyebrow and helped his friend stand properly, âI wonder where Desiree is, we should really get going. This party sucksâ,
âWhich part, the fact that I just got brother zoned or the fact that our parents just walked in with castle guards?â, Alec laughed loudly, his laughter bouncing off the walls of the room that had become silent again,
DJâs eyes widened in dread, âHoly shitâ.
âDwayne Edwards Juniorâ, Daphne marched over to them with anger evident on her beautiful face, âHow could you? You and your sister made me worriedâ, her eyes glistened with unshed tears and Sarah came up to comfort her and confront her son that had become prodigal all of a sudden,
âYoung man, are you drunk?â, she grabbed him by the cheek and nearly gagged when the strong smell of wolfsbane hit her sensitive nostrils,
âJust a littleâ, he smiled at her goofily, the alcohol had taken toll of his senses, he was making a fool of himself in front of everyone.
âMy word, what the hell is wrong with you?!â, she screamed at him,
âNot so loud mumâ, he rubbed his temples gently.
âWhere is your sister?â, Daphne asked her son who looked embarrassed, why couldnât they just drag them out of the party to do this? Must this be done here? Right in front of all these people?
âI donât know where she is. She left us when she got hereâ,
âYou lost my daughter?!â, the alpha kingâs voiced boomed through the room making all the wolves cower down, he had not spoken till now and he had a lot of things to say to his son, â What do you mean by âYou donât know where she isâ?â, he moved closer to his son, the already parted crowd pushing closer to the wall,
DJ bowed his head, this was all his fault, he should have never gone against his fatherâs orders, âI am sorry dadâ, he apologized,
âSorry doesnât cut it son. You know what? Both of you, skin, nowâ, he ordered then turned to the guards, âFind my daughter and bring her to me. A single scratch and you all dieâ.
âDidnât you hear him? Both of you, remove your shirtsâ, Fredrick yelled at the two young men,
âFredrick!â, Sarahâs eyes now glistened with tears, where they seriously going to tell them to fight with each other?
âYou cannot do this! I wonât allow itâ, Daphne yelled at her mate, she would not allow her son fight with his friend,
DJ placed his hand on his motherâs shoulder, âItâs okay mumâ. In one swift motion, he tore his shirt apart, the buttons scattering everywhere, âWe are best friends, it would be like trainingâ, he assured,
âI am disappointed in youâ, she said before going back to the door, unable to watch what was about to happen, Sarah joined her and gave her a hug even though she had met her son in a much worse condition.
âFight to the deathâ, he announced and everybody gasped, including his second in command that had been in support with the whole thing at first, the door slammed shut- Daphne and Sarah had left the building. Alec gulped loudly, the alcohol had somewhat left his system and he knew that this fight was anything but fair, if he was fighting DJ, he would be dead within seconds- he was no match for the alpha prince.
