“You look beautiful, Zora. You look like a goddess,” She said, and I thanked her.
I put a lot of effort into the dress and make–up. The lace cream dress hugged my body and gave me a mermaid shape.
It was backless with a halter neck and no sleeves.
The left slit showed my long legs, and the beautiful golden high–heeled slipper I was wearing complemented the dress.
I wore my hair down straight and parted in the centre.
My make–up was subtle but beautiful. I was still contemplating what to wear as jewellery.
Nellie looked at me and smiled.
“I am here to check on you and make sure you are alright,” She said, and I nodded and smiled at her.
“Be confident in your love, Zora. That girl does not have good intentions, but I know Darius will not betray you,” She said, and I frowned at her, wondering why she would say that.
She smiled and winked at me, so I prompted her to tell me what she had done.
“Please tell me why you say she doesn’t have good intentions?” I said, and she smiled.

“She tried to get in here to see Darius two days ago, but I had given orders at the entrance that no one is let in, especially her, only on the day of the ball.
I do not want her to have time alone with my son. I blocked her twice, and yesterday I went to see her in their home in Wonderland to tell her to back off.
I told her my son had moved on and that you two were getting married soon. She shouldn’t think she can just walk away and come back and find him waiting for her. I did not say it nicely, either. I wanted to hurt her with my words, and I wanted her to back off. She wept, of course, but I need her to get the message.” She said and winked.
“You are my daughter, Zora, and the only woman I want with my son. I will protect you and my grandchild,” she said and gave me the jewellery
box.
It had a golden bracelet with diamonds and looked really beautiful.
“I picked it out for us yesterday,” She said, showing me hers, an exact replica, and I felt loved.
She helped me wear it on my wrist, and I thanked her. She left me alone, and I turned to look at myself in the mirror. The bracelet was all the jewellery I would need. It was perfect.
Darius walked out of the closet, smiling. It was clear he heard what his mother said.
He was decked up in his official attire. His uniform rank and adornment made him look exquisite. He packed his hair in a ponytail, and I somehow knew Marcel and Raphael would dress the same.
He was fixing the cufflinks of his white shirt under his official suit.
“I see you two are a team,” He said and kissed the tip of my nose. I

giggled, and he laughed.
“You look beautiful, green eyes,” he said, and I smiled at him.

“And you look handsome, Lord Hand,” I said, and we laughed at each
other.
“I can’t wait for the party to end so I can take off your clothes and bury myself inside you,” He said and kissed the sweet spot of my neck. Which made me crumble in his arms.
I moaned, and he laughed.
“Shall we?” He asked, and I nodded. He led me out of the room, and we
headed toward the hall.
“Lord Hand and Lady Zora,” The announcement said, and Darius and I walked into the ballroom hand in hand.
People were silent, and they stared at us in awe. I looked at the people and my eyes caught someone I never imagined I would ever see again, Casey.
He looked different. He had lost weight, and his beard was very bushy. He was a shadow of the man I used to know, and I looked around to see if Lori was with him, but she wasn’t there.
Did he leave her at home? It felt awkward, but I looked away.
I saw Sheperd and Cruz standing, staring at their ex–wives who ignored them and were having fun with their new mates. They, too, did not bring their mates, and I wondered why they did not use their plus ones. It was okay. Darius and I were led to the high table, where the beta, gamma and their mates were and sat down.
Kara and Eloise looked beautiful. Eloise wore a red dress, and Kara wore
a cream dress like me.

They were beaming with joy, and I could see mischief in their eyes. Nellie was also at the table with us and winked at me.
The Alpha guests formed a line to greet their hosts, Darius, Marcel and Raphael.
Only the Alphas could get close to the lord of the north. I did not know how powerful and important Darius was until now. They greeted him. with the utmost respect.
It was Casey’s turn, and he greeted Darius respectfully. Darius answered. and then Casey’s eyes were set on me.
“Lady Zora, good evening,” He said, and I smiled.
“Good evening. Alpha Albert; we hope you enjoy our hospitality,” I said, and he had no choice but to thank me and move on.
Cruz and Sheperd refused to join the line, and I could see that they were angry. In fact, I was surprised when they left the hall to sit outside.
It was apparent they were having it hard seeing their ex–wives happy.
I knew there would be drama where those two were concerned, especially Sheperd, who looked at Marcel evilly. I hoped for his sake Marcel did not catch the evil stare.
The party went on, and everyone was happy. Darius and I danced and mingled, then returned to our table to rest. My friends and their mates weren’t at the table, nor was Nellie.
Darius and I were admiring the guests and the atmosphere of the ball when a beautiful Blonde woman walked into the hall.
She wore a short peach dress and held her hair in a bun. Many men stared at her because she looked beautiful, and it was clear that it was intentional on her part. Her late arrival was deliberate too. She wanted the attention.

She looked in our direction, only that she wasn’t looking at me, she was looking at Darius When I turned to see if Darius saw her, he was staring at her as if he was in a trance.
Darius’s eyes lingered on her, not moving, not blinking.
