MERIDA'S POV "I suppose you must have heard about the Masked Balls Party. Why aren't you ready yet?" Jude asked as I walked into the hut. I pulled my ears to hear him correctly. We were still looking for a way to be completely free from Cecilia's grip and here he was, asking me to get ready for a party which I was certain Cecilia would be in attendance. What if she attacked us and made away with us once again? That would be like calling death on ourselves. "I don't think I will be going with you and I suggest you shouldn't go either." "And why is that? Why are you so bent on frustrating me? You know I am one of the Alphas of the six packs and I play a very important role in Sakhimat pack. It is a necessity that I attend the party." He explained, his voice etched with disappointment.
