Chapter 153
I wanted to bleed her dry and wipe that fucking smirk off her face. “Anyway, that’s not the point. The point is you bowed to her, and yet you still think to call a whore. Don’t do that again,” she warns.
“Are you threatening me?” I frown, studying her.
She boldly nods, “Yes, you can call it that, but it is in fact a promise. You are allowed to say what you want, you can have your opinion, but know your limits.”
“Excuse me?” I scoff at the audacity of this human brat to talk to me this way even though I can end her with my claws is preposterous.
“You heard me, blondie.,” she shoots back. “Say anything bad about my Aeliana in front of me and I’ll have to teach you some manners.”
I can’t help but laugh, neither she nor her friend is a match for me, I can take them both. “How cute, you think you can scare me. Aww, you’re adorable, Noah.”
She glares harder, “You heard me, Audrey. My baby is happy right now, she is thriving and if that changes thanks to you, I will beat your ass, and contrary to your thoughts? I fight as badly as my hair looks..”
My eyes shift to the perfect locks that flow all the way down her chest. “Exactly,” she grins. “Cause one problem for her, you will have ten with me, and unfortunately for you, she hasn’t forbidden me from hitting you.
“What are you? Her toothless puppy?” I snarl, her dedication to the role is far more than admirable.
“I’d rather be that than whatever you are,” she scoffs. “Why don’t you use the mens room? You might find a safer victim, that one in there is taken.” She tells me, walking away like she did something. Like she’s triumphant in a world war.
When she’s far enough, I too leave, downing four glasses of champagne before I return to my seat again. I keep an eye on the direction Kingston and Aeliana should appear from.
It takes a while before they finally emerge.
Twenty-eight minutes since I was in the hallway, seven times after people have asked me where Kingston is, they ask me, not her. Because they know he’d be with me instead.
They’re smiling when they emerge, her hair is dishevelled, and her face flushed. She looks a fucking mess, she brings disgrace to the distinguished Vale family, and the lineage of Mooncrest Lunas. Kingston kisses her once and tries to walk away, but she fists his shirt, it’s not until he kisses her again that she sets him free.
His fake smile falters the moment she’s gone.
He grabs a drink to obviously wash out the taste of her in his mouth and joins his friends. I know why he is doing all this, he is with her out of obligation, and she’s taking advantage of him now, she’s sinking her claws into him.
Aeliana sits at the bar with Noah, immediately falling into deep laughter, the kind that makes them fall into each other, and clutch their stomachs while laughing. That should have been me, and Seraphine. We would have been laughing and celebrating today, but she took that away just like she does everything.
When Kingston is alone, I push off my seat and stalk him. “Kingston.”
He turns around, appearing mildly shocked that I’m here. “Drey,” he says, his voice tired.
“I haven’t seen you today.”
