My Secret, My Bully, My Mates. novel Chapter 403

“You ready?”

“Huh?!” I look up at Xander confused, but he has a look on his face that tells me he is up to no good whatsoever.

“To dance. You do remember how right?”

“You mean the one and only time I was spun purposefully around the room by you, sure. I still can not do it on my own though, so I’m not sure what your expectations are exactly.”

“I need to hit the dance floor, out of obligation of course…”

“Of course.” I raise my eyebrow at him.

“And we may have to have a few pictures taken, up close and personal, you know, to make a point that I could possibly be involved with you somehow, considering I have never been to a party with a date, let alone the same person twice.”

“Uh huh…and?”

“Alpha Lucas may have asked me to share some of those photos to motivate a few certain people to get their asses in gear. His words, not mine.” He at least looked sheepish and I am glad he is warning me in his own demented boy way. “Remember, this is for Alpha Lucas and the guys. I am just going along with one of our most prominent Alpha’s reasonable requests.”

“Olivia!” I basically shout the wrong name at her and cause Xander to spin around. She schools the murderous look on her face quickly though. I have to hand it to her.

“It’s Olympia, Warrior.” Touche. She places her hands on her hips and lets her perfected smile slip a bit. “Xander, you promised me a dance. It doesn’t look very good for a Royal to go back on their word. People might start talking about indecisiveness and indecision and think you aren’t fit to rule.”

“That escalated quickly.” Xander scoffs. “I’m not sure how many times I need to remind you though, that to you and the rest of the world my name and Title is Prince Alexander. And I believe that you are insinuating that being with Skylar is a negative because she happens to be a trained warrior. What you have yet to mention is what about being with you would be better?”

“My rank is higher for one.” Both Xander and I don’t hide our eye roll, we have already discussed this with her. “Second, your heirs need to have the distinction that I would bring to the royal family.” She flips a blonde strand hanging from her updo back over her shoulder. Not sure what the point is, but it does give her a minute to come up with something else equally stupid to say. “She will never be as good as me and you both know it. I don’t know why you keep playing these games with me Xander, but I won’t have it. She needs to leave, “ She looks right at me, “And stop being a little homewrecker.” Are those fake tears? She can cry on command?! Damn she is impressive, but before I can laugh in her face, Xander lets out a low menacing growl.
