Love
I was nervous about going to the charity gala with Ellis because I knew the headlines that would follow the following morning if they saw us together. However, with encouragement from Luis, I did.
Ellis looked breathtaking in a tuxedo and bowtie. could tell he was excited about going with me to the gala. In the car, he kept staring at me with deep love and happiness radiating off him.
Arriving at the gala and being hounded by reporters brought back fun memories for me.
Our arms were linked as we greeted and discussed with the guests.
I excused myself from Ellis when I spotted my cousins, Erickson and Chadwick, in the crowd. They were my aunty Arya’s children. They weren’t her biological children, but she raised them since they were born. They are triplets, but their sister, Rosa, whom we call Rose, married her childhood lover, Alpha Ajax Yang, so she stayed in his pack.
Women were crowding them, and they were flirting with all of them. I rolled my eyes. I approached the two mischievous alphas, and they beamed when they saw me.

Cousin,” they said, each one kissing my cheek.

‘Hey, you two,”
With one hand gesture from Erickson, the ladies surrounding them left, not without first giving me a deadly glare.
Didn’t they hear you call me cousin?” I facepalmed.
‘They are obsessed. They couldn’t help it,” My cousins were so cocky. We exchanged pleasantries, and I was glad they were doing alright.

Aunty Arya told me you found your mate.
atulations Where is she?” I asked excitedly. They glanced at each other.
“Well, she kinda ran away from us,” Erickson said like it didn’t matter. I saw an emotion of hurt on Chadwick’s face.
“But why?”
“Well, she couldn’t decide whom
e wanted
between us, so she ran,” Erickson said.
“Erick! You made her choose?” I asked
sly.
“We couldn’t share her,” they said, glaring at each other.
But you share everything! Why not the person the moon goddess blessed you with?” I asked, angry at them.
“I don’t think we could share a mate… She’s too precious,” They were too casual about this, which made me angry.
“You gave her an impossible choice, and the poor girl left,”
“She didn’t leave willingly, actually. This fucking asshat banished her from the pack,” Chadwick hissed. I gasped.
“What?”

I already apologized about that. We should move on and find her,” Erickson sighed, rolling his eyes. I was about to open my mouth to speak when someone stood close to me. The air in my neck bristled, and my skin crawled as I turned my neck to look at the man. Maleck.
He had a smile on his lips as he stared at me. I faked my own and moved closer to my cousin. They saw how uncomfortable I was and put me between them, glaring at Maleck.
“Maleck,” I said.

Love. I spotted you and wanted to say hi. I missed you,” I gaped at the audacity of this man. Did he miss me? Since when have we been close to missing me?
Oh,” is all that left my mouth.
“Buddy, leave. We are having an important discussion,” Erickson growled, his eyes flashing. Yep, he’s a Jones, alright.
Maleck narrowed his eyes at him and smiled before extending his hand to Erickson, but Erickson didn’t shake his hand. He placed his hand back to his side.
“I’m sorry. When Love is near me, I don’t notice many people around,” Maleck chuckled, but no one laughed with him.
(
Now, you notice us. Leave,” Chadwick growled.
“Love, can I talk to you in private? It’s important,” he said, but I shook my head. I didn’t want to be in a secluded area with Maleck.
“I’m busy, Maleck,” I said politely.
He nodded, “Next time, then,”
We watched him walk away. My cousins frowned.
I don’t like him,” Chadwick bristled, and I nodded in agreement.
“He likes you a little too much, Love,” Erickson said. Maleck’s sudden likeness of me was mysterious.
‘He sees how his cousin wants you, and now he does too. He competes with Ellis,’ Vee told me. Indeed.
‘It’s nauseating.”
“Just stay away from that man,’ Oh, I planned to.
“Is that Ellis Carter? “Chadwick asked. I turned my head to my left. Ellis and CC were talking to an older man.
