“Quickly, get ready,” Mom said, picking another costume for me. But I wanted to wear the corpse bride one because I haven’t worn it properly.

“I will wear this one again, but this time with makeup on,” I said, stealing eyes from my mom. She’ll ask for sure, but at the very least I’ll feel as if the previous night never happened.

I wasn’t regretting anything until Maddox read my message and didn’t even respond to me. My happiness and excitement went down the drain pretty quickly.

“Okay! I think you really liked this costume.” She proudly handed it to me and shifted her gaze to the opposite side. I put on the dress quickly and let her do the makeup on my face.

I’m sure not many people were going to dress sexily for a school party. So I thought I would be fine.

However, I was so baffled by Maddox’s behavior that I decided to not take the medicine. Maybe I only felt the mate bond with Helel again.

The reason behind Maddox’s cold behavior could be due to

the fact that we are not mates anymore.

I walked out of my room with my mom tailing after me till we reached the foyer, and my heart almost stopped beating. In front of me was Zane S*ade, wearing a devil costume.

His beautiful eyes peeping from the black eye mask he was wearing made me feel naked in front of him. The way those eyes scanned me pulled me into a trance.

“Go!” Mom elbowing me, woke me up. I nodded to her and walked over to stand beside him. He was looking devilishly

I walked out with him and sat in the car in silence. Neither he nor I said a word. The car ride was nothing like the car ride from the previous night. Maddox and I went through so many emotions in a single night, but Zane seemed cold.

He parked the car in the parking lot of the huge ground that was prepared for the Halloween party and got out without even sparing a glance at me. I assumed he didn’t like my

costume.

“It is okay; I didn’t dress up for him either. Last time I did that for someone, he had fun with me and then left,” I was

murmuring to myself when getting out of the car.

I had to run after him to catch up with him. His tall, slender body with incredibly huge shoulders was the talk of the night. Everyone was staring at him.

“Hey!” It was Flynn who saw him and rushed to meet him. He was wearing a beast’s costume.

“Ah! Look who came,” he instantly looked away from Zane to me. I only rolled my eyes and turned my face to the side.

“She has so much attitude,” Flynn commented. “You need to control your stepsister,” Flynn commented because he didn’t know the truth.

“She is not my stepsister,” Zane retorted rudely, “And you! Go walk around, don’t stick to my tail,” Zane coldly dismissed me, walking ahead of Flynn and me.

“You heard him. And if you don’t find anyone to have fun

with, remember, you still have an alpha mate,” Flynn walked closer to whisper and then pulled away, briskly walking after Zane.

The wind was strong since it was an open area. There were haunted houses prepared for us. The whole arrangement was beautiful, but something seemed a bit off.

I felt like something was about to happen. I felt that back when Maddox and I were doing the nasty in the living room. But I didn’t have any such fears here in the open ground, except for the fact that I didn’t take the medicine because I thought I would be able to sense the mate bond if there was any left with Zane.

However, my wolf hadn’t even shown up so far, and I was already 8 hours late for taking the afternoon medicine.

Having no one to talk to, I walked to one corner and stood there aimlessly.

‘Beatrice!’

A whisper from afar filled my skin with goosebumps. I looked around but found nothing or anyone.

‘Are you waking up already?’ I asked my wolf, but she didn’t respond.

‘Oh, come on! You are going to wake up anytime soon, I know. I missed the afternoon pills and now the night one. I’m sure you’ll be bothering me again in two hours,’ I scoffed, feeling st*pid for talking to someone who had never communicated with me.

.

I seemed to be having a battle inside me with my wolf. Isn’t it sad that my biggest enemy lives inside me?

“Who am I kidding? She is never going to answer me,” I said a bit loudly because I wasn’t aiming to talk to her anymore. That’s when I heard someone giggling from beside me.

Mariyah was standing beside me with her friends and laughing at me. The cheerleader costume she wore looked like her everyday outfit. She might have thought that would make Zane accept her back.

“Look at her, she’s talking to herself,” Mariah exclaimed as she pointed at me. I noticed the passersby instantly stopping to see what was going on. No one would come forward to defend me, but they loved suitable entertainment.

“Go away. I don’t want any trouble.” I rolled my eyes and tried to walk past her when she put her hands on me and pushed me away.

“Hey!” I complained, barely keeping my balance and preventing myself from falling on my back.

“What? how is it my fault that you cannot even walk without tripping?” she pouted, faking a sad face and making everybody laugh even louder.

“How is it funny?” I yelled at the others beside her, “Today it is me; tomorrow it might be you. Would you want anyone to laugh at you?” I watched their faces one by one; there was no hint of regret or remorse on anyone’s face. I decided to walk away, but then her comment stole my attention.

“Look at her, she’s trying to instigate everyone like she’s

trying to seduce someone close to my heart,” her remark jolted me to a halt.
