The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness

- ENRIQUE -

Time f*****g comes to a grinding halt as everything fades away and all I see is the diosa standing at that entrance.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

F**k me.

I knew she was going to look like someone f*****g out of this world, but she went beyond that. Not only has she caught everyone's attention, but she has just stolen the entire room.

The dress she wears fits her body like a second skin, it was created for her. The fabric glitters and shines with every sway of her hips, every small move she makes... every breath she takes... Right down to the sexy piece of jewellery on her perfectly thick thigh, which would be one of the few things I leave on her if I was to f**k her right now.

She runs her fingers through her long locks, the glittery dangling jewel from her armpiece catching the light.

Hmm, at the same time, I just want to destroy everything she wears, wrap those thick sexy legs around me and pound her as she screams my name. Trying not to go right over there is excruciatingly painful, as I just stand here and watch her. Her breasts move with every step she takes, and that delicious cleavage glistens enticingly.

Mi reina...

I look up at her to find she's looking right back at me.

I wish I could tell you how beautiful you look... but it's unnecessary because you already know you do.

The Goddess really did her best when she made my Kataleya...

Irritation flits through me as Kataleya turns her head to the man beside her before accepting the arm of that fucking hijo de puta. She lifts her dress gracefully as she ascends, the crowd parting for her.

Whispers of awe and admiration follow her. She really does look perfect... but the looks she's getting from the non-mated wolves and even a few mated fuckers are making irritation burn through me. "Mi Rey, shall we dance?"

I look down and notice Rhea has her arm wrapped around mine.

When did she come near me?

This woman is f*****g creepy. I frown at her.

'You will get what you want. I don't need to dance with you, I answer her coldly.

'But an Alpha should dance with his Luna,' she answers.

I tug free from her hold, take a glass of wine from a passing waitress and down it in one go.

'I hate dancing,' I snarl.

'I see...'

I try not to pay attention to Kataleya, who is looking incredibly at ease on another man's arm. Who the f**k is he? Her large boob keeps rubbing against his arm and it's f*****g pissing me off. I would be willing to rip his limbs off for free.

Cabrón.

He's an alpha, I know that from his aura, but he's not one I invited.

He shouldn't even be here.

"Alpha Enrique, you look a little bothered. Are you alright?" Marie asks as she approaches arm-in-arm with Carlos. Jose is with them, hands in pockets, a frown on his face.

"All perfectly fine," I growl. "What's your fucking problem?" I add to Jose, who shakes his head.

He simply sighs and shakes his head. 'You know you need to stop this? Queen Kataleya is the best match for you.'

'Shut it, Cabron,' I answer, taking another glass and downing it.

"Easy on the drinks," Rhea says, smiling. She's trying to fit in, but she still appears robotic. I simply frown at her but choose to ignore her.

"I think Enrique is angry because -" Carlos grunts as Marie elbows him.

"I really did choose a stupid delta," I mutter and Marie nods as she pokes her eyes out at Carlos before he glances at Jose, who must have said something to him, and he looks sheepish.

I internally curse him and shake my head.

'Jose... I know that you have constantly hidden things from me, but right now I'm going to ask you something and you better answer correctly,' I say through the mind-link.

'I will,' he says instantly.

'Have you seen a pouch containing a crystal necklace anywhere?'

I observe him carefully, but he looks at me with a small frown.

'The gift from when Queen Kataleya was a child?'

'Yeah.'

He frowns, 'I haven't seen it in a while, but wasn't it in your office?'

'Yeah... it isn't there. I took it to the villa, and I can't find it. Do you want me to get rid of Rhea? Then I need you to keep this between us. That necklace might help me fix all of this. Can you help me find it? I think that it might be Ash Stone.' I'm not sure I should tell him, but I'm trying to take the leap to trust in those who might just not be against me. Even if they have lied and kept things from me.

Since I came into power, that darkness I always felt seems to be kept at bay. I'm able to think and act calmer.

'You don't like Rhea and maybe it'll be incentive enough to assist me. So if our brotherhood means anything to you, then you won't tell anyone about this. One last time I will put faith in our relationship. Do not disappoint me, Jose! 'I know I made mistakes. There were things I should have told you, but nothing means more to me than our bond. I won't fail you. I promise!

'Let's hope so,' I say, placing my second glass down and tapping my foot to the upbeat music.

'With everyone occupied here... I might get to look around better if I leave now, Jose suggests, but he's not looking at me. I follow his gaze where Marie is dancing with Carlos and c**k a brow.

'Or you could have one dance before you go?' I suggest. 'Don't be a cabrón. If you like her, tell her.

I turn and walk away, not waiting for a response and I block him off, not wanting to hear him f*****g deny shit. I've done that long enough and I'm f*****g fed up.

My eyes once again fall to Kataleya, dancing with the hijo de puta and I lean against the wall as a few pack members approach me.

"Congratulations, Alpha, on choosing a Luna. Our pack will finally be complete."

I nod, looking across at Kataleya. "Yeah."

My gaze dips to her ass as she shakes that booty to the music before the cabrón spins her around and she blushes.

I am going to break every f*****g bone in his body.

I force my gaze away when Rhea approaches and I cock a brow when she stands beside me, staring at me blankly. Doesn't she have an off switch?

"You want to be luna? You should be mixing with your people then instead of standing here beside me. Get to know them. Talk to them. A luna keeps her pack together, so do your part. Look, they are all watching you."

It's true, although a lot of it is in confusion. Many had seen me with Kataleya and now I have chosen another luna. The time to mark her is coming closer, and I am feeling agitated and restless.

A part of me wants to selfishly spend just one last moment with Kataleya before she hates me forever.

Rhea nods. "I will go introduce myself to my people." She places a hand on my shoulder and leans up, kissing my cheek. I clench my jaw, suddenly feeling someone watching.

I glance around but can't see who, Kataleya has also disappeared from sight.

Rhea walks off clearly on a mission.

Where has she gone?

I can see the Solaris King has arrived and he's dancing with his mate, the Rossi witch sits at a table whilst the blond alpha, Liam, sits opposite her at the table.In order to avoid an incomplete reading experience, visit J 0 bnlb.com. Where are the other two? I soon spot the white-haired luna dancing with another man I don't recognise, but there's no sign of the young boy, Ahren.

He had approached me earlier, asking if he could help transport the metal beams to the destination spot beneath the waters. He has a strange power, one that he said would help him do so. To get him off my back I had agreed, as I was irritable trying to find that necklace.

I spot Jose speaking to Carlos and Marie before she nods and blushes, taking his offered hand. I roll my eyes.

The cabrón likes her and didn't even f*****g tell me. Pendejo.

That's when the glint of gold captures my attention and I turn to see Kataleya excusing herself, saying something about the bathroom before she turns and heads towards the exit.

She's braving a smile, but I can see the sadness in her eyes. The urge to follow her suddenly overcomes me, all rational thoughts going out the window and I push away from the wall, excusing myself from the men that surround me making meaningless small talk. I ignore the twittering women who don't dare to approach me but gawk from afar.

'Jose, don't leave until I return.'

'Sure. Is everything ok?'

I then bring Carlos into the mind-link. "The both of you watch that Rhea is kept here. I'll be back.

'Sure thing, Alpha, Carlos says as a more upbeat song begins playing. 'I'll ask her to dance!

For once, the idiot seems to have some brain cells.

Swiftly and discreetly, I slip from the room, wondering what way she went, when I catch a glimpse of her glittery gold dress down the hall.

Smirking, I follow her and spot her entering the bathroom. And just as she's about to shut the door I catch hold of it, pushing it open, stepping inside and kicking it shut behind me.
