Chapter 4
1023 Words
UNKNOWN POV
Jennifer, a Kingdom's ally's daughter. I feel imprisoned and my blood runs cold. Her gaze is fixed on mine; if her lust weren't so blatantly visible on her face, I could almost taste it.
Let's just say that we've spent a good number of evenings together, most of them spent on the verge of going completely insane from all the alcohol I had consumed, because that's the only way I can put up with her—that is, anyone can only put up with her when they're either completely inebriated or insane.
I wanted to scream inside my head for her to stop bothering me, but that wasn't very princely right now, was it?
I hurriedly turn to face Astro and beg him to do something to deflect her attention so I can get away.
Yes,
Jennifer had a stunning form and was really attractive, but she stuck on like a parasite!
She was a nightmare come true. She was the devil incarnate when she didn't get her way.
With a shrug, Astro welcomed
Jennifer, bowed, and then turned to walk away, flicking up his middle finger as he did so.
I balled my fists, you bastard!
"Astro, I f*cking swear that you will pay. You can't claim to be my right-hand man. I mentally associate him.
I can still hear his giggle in my brain.
"You, my friend, said you'd mark whatever had two legs and walks."
I'm giving myself a mental pat on the back.
Why do I keep putting myself in these ridiculous circumstances all the time?
"Your highness," she murmurs.
I didn't even realise she was the one in front of me because I was preoccupied with myself. She stood there wearing a champagne jewelled dress that presumably cost her hundreds of dollars, revealing her long, hot and nice black legs. Her face adorned with cosmetics appropriate for this kind of occasion, her hair falling in soft caramel waves.
Why me, why now, goddess?
"Jennifer..." I say with caution.
She whispers in my ear, "How about we get out of here huh?" with a sexy look on her face.
"I don't think I can do that." I gave my response and averted my gaze, thinking she would get the signal and go on as every normal being should.
"My prince, why not? The royal meeting is already over, and all the required events have been completed." She reasoned, and I was afraid I had nothing to say to that. Then I responded:
"But first, my lady, I'm going to need some more wine." "Oh f*ck it, I'm over this shindig anyway."
Because I wanted to forget that tonight ever happened, I wanted to be as f* up as possible.
With a naive smile, she waited for me until I had drunk two more bottles of wine, and maybe even some more.
She was anything but innocent, as only I knew.
This woman ruins everything with a slow, poisonous effect.
Despite my parents' warnings about her and her father, it appears that she is currently the only willing girl who puts up with my grumpy attitude and doesn't give up.
All I can hope for is that tonight's aftermath can be wrapped up, or maybe she'll leave my room before I wake up.
However, I was aware of her true nature—that of a walking Lycan leech.
I really hope my folks don't find out about tonight; because if they do, I'm really and truly doomed.

Rebecca's POV
I was floating in an uncharted territory yet again. Despite not being able to control my body, I could sense myself moving in this strange new world.
Was this referred to as sleep paralysis?
Does it feel this real, though?
"Please help her." I couldn't see anything because it was too dark, but I heard a quiet voice.
"You know that everything has a cost, and you are asking for too much." A voice that was bone-chillingly frigid responded.
"I'll do anything, take my life in exchange but please help her." The beggar's voice seemed all too familiar.
Where else have I heard about it?
How come I can't see anything at all?
Why is everything around me dark if I'm dreaming?
This isn't how dreams are supposed to be, is it?
All shades of paranoia began to creep in.
I heard something on the other end once again, and then all of a sudden everything became bright.
Even with all the brightness, I was unable to see anything since it was too damn bright for my eyes.
How the f*ck are you?
"This is the last time I am helping you and I will collect my payment when I need it." Though it seems softer than previously, the woman said in the same icy tone.
"I'm grateful. I sincerely appreciate it. All you have to do is ask, and I'll give you anything you desire." But f*ck, even with all the bright light surrounding me, I couldn't see them, the other woman remarked.
What in the world am I doing here? Furthermore, why does this dream have to be so strange even if it is a dream?I was curious to observe their actions.
Better yet, what type of aid from this b*tch who doesn't even know how to interact with others politely, did she require it? What did she do to help her and why does this other woman need help?
I tried to move my arms and grab the first thing I could get my hands on when I felt a sudden movement in my body and realised I was losing control of my body.
My body was finally releasing the sensation of vulnerability, and my brain was beginning to take control of everything. When I turned to face the two women, there was stillness. When I tried to phone them, my voice could not be heard.
As I hurried towards them, I gasped to see that everything was on the bed and that I was on the floor with all of the blankets wrapped around my legs.
Fuck!
What on earth did I just witness?
