Meagia had no idea that the very blunderous decision of trusting her sister Rancel would prove to be extremely wrong. Rancel had been obsessed with Cinhard ever since she had seen him. Later on when she realised that he had been involved romantically with Meagia, which ignited envy and jealousy within her. Rancel wanted to destroy her stepsister whom she deemed a thorn in between her relationship with Cinhard.

Now that she had a chance finally to ensure that her plan would work out, Rancel was willing to do whatever was required to eradicate Meagia. Even though she was stunned herself when Meagia hugged her out of nowhere. Seeing that she was already at her vulnerable state, Rancel took her towards the bar acknowledging the situation.

“Rancel….do you know…” Meagia constantly murmured while crying, her sobs became a bit louder and irregular. While Rancel’s thoughts ran wild as she could not keep her happiness hidden because she had finally gotten some perfect moment. “I don’t feel good anymore, I just want to go.” Meagia kept on mumbling as she hugged her sister who patted her back completely ignoring her words.

As Rancel walked through the resplendent arcades with her sister, Meagia, the atmosphere was alive with the sounds of laughter, clinking glasses, and faint music. The arcades were adorned with ornate decorations and twinkling lights, casting a warm glow on the polished marble floors. Everyone was preparing for Clara’s bachelor party where they were invited as her friends.

‘This is it! This is the moment the moon goddess has blessed me with. I will make sure you never get Cinhard after this night, Meagia. I will destroy your already tripping reputation.’ She had decided what she was going to do now, Rancel’s hatred increased when she saw her in a vulnerable condition.

Rancel, a confident she-wolf and stylish young woman, led the way with a playful smirk on her lips, her dark hair cascading down her shoulders in loose waves. She was dressed in a chic black dress that hugged her curves, paired with high heels that clicked against the floor with each step.

Meagia, her elder sister, followed closely while crying, she had been looking a bit more bold in her blunt and fancy attire. She glanced around with wide eyes, taking in the grandeur of the bar as they walked through the arcades.

Rancel turned to Meagia with a mischievous grin. "Come on, sis, the night is young! Don’t let anything bother you, Meagia. Let's make some memories." She reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her along as they weaved through the arcades. As they approached the bar, Rancel's eyes lit up with excitement of proceeding with her plan. She loved the vibrant energy of the place and the promise of having a fun night ahead for herself with drama. She released Meagia’s hand and turned to face her.

"Ready for some fun?" Rancel asked, her voice full of enthusiasm. “You should stop fussing over your boyfriend, he is not worth your time. I know you came here to meet him, the way you are all dressed up.” Meagia hesitated for a moment, her cheeks tinged with a hint of confusion. "I'm not sure, Rancel. I've never been to a bar before. You know I don’t drink."

Rancel grinned reassuringly. "Don't worry, sis. I will take care of you. Don’t get stressed about anything, I am assuming you had some fight with him.” She looped her arm through Meagia’s, guiding her towards the entrance of the bar. For Rancel it was not hard for her to assume that Meagia must have come to meet Cinhard.

As they stepped inside, the lively ambiance enveloped them. The bar was bustling with activity, with people chatting, bartenders mixing drinks, and a live band playing upbeat tunes in the background. Rancel and Meagia found a cosy corner booth and settled in, while the guests still hadn’t come. Rancel ordered their drinks with confidence, while Meagia looked around in awe, taking in the sights and sounds of the bar.

Meagia’s sobbing had died down and she glanced around only to see the row of bottles, adorned with golden labels and topped with glistening stoppers, lined the back of the bar. The bottles stood tall and proud, casting a rich and alluring display which could only be afforded by the elites. The assortment of spirits ranged from amber-hued whiskeys to crystal-clear gins, promising a world of flavours and delights.

Since Meagia and Rancel were the daughters of the beta and could afford luxury, they knew they could buy those whole night. Even though Rancel was the step sister born from the second wife, Rancel was a she-wolf unlike Meagia who possessed no powers. She could not hear her wolf at the age of 18 while Rancel got attention when she shifted successfully.

As the night progressed, Rancel introduced Meagia to some of her friends who had come for the party. And they all bonded over shared stories and laughter, for a while Meagia gradually relaxed, her initial apprehension melting away in the spur of the moment. ‘Just a bit more, Meagia. I just have to get you drunk a bit more and then I will destroy you.’ Rancel signalled to some bartender with a grin as she went to fetch a spiked drink for her.

Rancel and Meagia danced together, twirling and laughing, as the band played a catchy tune. They raised their glasses in a toast, celebrating their sisterly bond and the joy of the evening. As the night drew to a close and Meagia had spent the whole pre- hours of the bachelor’s party with her sister in getting drunk.

Rancel and Meagia made their way back through the arcades, arm in arm. Meagia had a smile on her face, and her eyes sparkled with newfound comfort. "Thank you for showing me such a wonderful time, Rancel," Meagia said, her voice filled with gratitude. “I didn’t know what to do after I hearing Cinhard’s rejection. Thank you for being there.”

Unbeknownst to her that she just gave away her weakness to Rancel, who became happy that Cinhard finally understood being with a wolfless girl he would become a laughingstock. Rancel smiled warmly at her sister. "Anytime, sis. I'm always here for you. Tonight was just the beginning of your notoriously known adventurous night."

With that grin they walked into the corridor when Meagia spoke once again as she rubbed her neck. “Why do I suddenly feel hot? It is uncomfortable, my head is spinning too.” Meagia informed her while Rancel smirked and took her towards a room. “Let me send you to your room.” Rancel threw her over the door which made a loud thud sound.

“Hope to never see you again, sister!” Rancel grinned and turned around to take her leave. While Meagia stood there swaying when the door opened and a prowl sound resonated in the arcade. Rancel gave a lopsided expression as she looked back and confirmed that maybe some random male wolf was now going to go down on Meagia and ruin her reputation.

Meanwhile, from Meagia's point of view, she had no idea what had been ongoing with her. And how one teeny tiny blunder was going to mess up with her life to a bigger extent. Meagia did the not believe that Cinhard could do such a heinous thing to her just to seek powerful allies. Oh, how her fragile rose like heart was crushed by a cruel alpha-to-be who had no conscience.

“Where the heck is my room? Didn’t know the ‘swan suite’ could fly away!” Meagia staggered under the combined influence of the drugs and alcohol. She had no idea that her step sister would not leave her arse even at someone else’s wedding. As every cliche evil character her sister was notoriously known to make her life hell. However, Meagia was not a terrified lamb but this time her little carelessness proved to be the biggest blunder of her life.

Meagia stumbled upon every step while looking for her room, being tipsy had affected her speech and questioned her sanity. Passing through the golden lit arcade decorated, the lady clad in lavender backless dress felt like flying through it. She was a wolfless, 24 years old beta’s daughter, who was spoiled enough to not live miserable within her household. Being the legitimate child of Creslorn pack’s beta she had a respectful reputation which was going to be tarnished.

“Ugh! Friggin biscuits, where are you? What was the floor number? Oh! There you are!” She exclaimed and halted in front of one room and somehow managed not to stumble there. Meagia rattled the items in her bag but before she could find the key, someone opened the door. She lifted her head and her emerald eyes landed straight into a man's champagne ones. The lady felt as if the time had slowed to play tricks on her mind.

“Who are you, woman? You just have one minute. Scram! Because I am not going to fall for any bachelor prank.” Eskaal narrowed his eyes as he yelled, acknowledging that it must be a trap against him. And he could not let himself fall prey to such petty acts, when his father has arranged him a bride. He was strictly told to find his mate or take someone as his bride, if he wished to take the alpha’s position.

“Prank? Oh! So, you are the escort Rancel planted in my room as a feast to make me feel better. Do you know how to give a strip show?” Meagia grinned as she leaned in to push him aside with force, her drunk state completely numbed her ability of thinking straight. Eskaal placed his whole silhouette in front of the door so he could stop the woman from intruding.

“Hey, hey! Stop right there, I’m not the escort here! You are.” The man yelled back at her while gritting his teeth, he could not afford to mess up the set plan for him. Although it was evident that he had no romantic feelings for his fiance, for the position of future alpha of the Gravestone pack he had to abide by the plan.

“Why are you offended? Fine, I will not call you an escort. But I am not going to pay you either if you will not give me a good show.” Whereas Meagia was immersed in her own thoughts, she completely denied the possibility of being wrong herself. However, she could potentially feel that the man’s face was familiar to her but due to the heavy influence of alcohol she was unable to recall.

“Are you fucking kidding me? Am I high or are you out of your mind?” Eskaal shook his head as he became irritated with all that bickering and the stubborn nature of the woman. While Meagia lifted herself on toes and licked his chin, Eskaal was taken aback and as he was distracted she pushed him and walked inside the room. He was left totally speechless with the sudden act because it was something which he had never expected in his wildest dreams.

“MATE!” His eyes widened when Eskaal heard the voice of his wolf in the head. As soon as Meagia touched his skin, Eskaal’s excited wolf disclosed him the biggest revelation. Although he was still befuddled about whatever dawned upon him, and what left a distaste in his mouth was his mate. Eskaal could not believe such a perverted and bold woman would be his mate who even dared to call him as escort.

“What have you done!? You ruined my pretty dress, it was new for fucks sake!” As she dashed inside Eskaal reflexively pulled her to prevent Meagia from sprinting ahead. His hand reached the narrow choker type neckline of her dress which tore up. The woman shouted at him with a pout as she dramatically tried to guilt trip him. Her emerald eyes glared at Eskaal who still hadn’t come out of the shock of finally able to find his mate at the age of 28.

“I…I am sorry, it was a mistake.” Eskaal immediately apologized as he looked at the woman who was holding the dress neckline and inspected it. Luckily it was still intact a bit which saved him from embarrassment. He was still processing the whole mate revelation but Meagia’ blunt nature and back to back inquiry did not give him any chance. While Meagia had no clue what was happening there at all because in her perspective her step sister might have brought some escort to serve her mateless, rejected and wolfless arse.

“Oh really? Or was it intentional? Did they pay you to tempt and pleasure me?” Meagia raised her one eyebrow in a challenging tone as if she had doubts in whatever he was saying. Eskaal could not say anything instantly because he needed some time to talk to his father about it. Since he had finally found his mate, Eskaal did not wish to marry his fiancee who was just a filler.

“You are not going away. Right? I have to call the lousy management then.” Eskaal knew that he had to first talk to his father to postpone the wedding for a few hours. So, he could finally get his hands straight on his mate and marry Meagia. But the way she had intruded in his room and was boldly planning on staying there, Eskaal had to drove her out until the next morning.

He rushed towards the intercom and dialed the management as Eskaal had to drive her out of the room. And to not raise suspicion the best way was to call someone from outside so they would be an eye witness. “Oh yes, this is alpha Eskaal Espenova, I….” Eskaal turned his head around as his voice got interrupted by Meagia.

“Oh my goodness! I didn't know you brought ice cream to spice things up. Kinky!” Her voice was excited as the woman chirped happily not knowing the consequences of her actions. “Oh fuck!” He disconnected the call and lifted his head only to see Meagia put the head of the pink vibrator in her mouth. Eskaal immediately glanced at his junior which had caused a visible bulge in his trousers.

“Spit it out, this is not an ice cream, young lady.” He stood there frozen and in shock when Meagia pulled out the vibrator. Eskaal on the other hand had no idea that the presence of his mate under the same roof would have that kind of effect on him. He had heard stories about mate bonds that the partners feel a spark and sudden sexual attraction towards each other.

“This is really a bad one, for a strawberry flavour it is tasteless.” Meagia complained being completely oblivious of the fact that the man in front of her was her mate. Since she hadn’t awakened her wolf that was why Meagia was not able to figure out that Eskaal was her mate. On the other hand, he raised his voice to prevent Meagia from provoking him furthermore.

“I said take it out of your mouth.” Meagia licked the tip of vibrator, which was placed in the room by the sneaky friends of his fiancee as a present. He lunged towards her and snatched the vibrator, in the attempt due to sudden pull Meagia stumbled and fell over his trousers. “Oh, no. No. Fuck!”

Meagia remarked, assuming that he had been tossing her around because her step sister might have told she liked it that way. “You don’t have to toss me around rashly to seduce. Tsk, you really need to learn because your skills sucks.” As they laid on the carpeted floor, Meagia licked his bulge over his trousers which wet that spot. Eskaal gulped hard seeing her seductive expressions.

“But yours are darn good, woman! Now you are provoking me yourself.” He raised his eyebrows and looked at her intently with a malicious grin. “Oh? I haven’t even started yet.” She reached for his trousers while looking intensely. Meagia was drugged by her step sister, and under the influence her carnal desires became uncontrollable.

“How can I believe your hollow words without a demonstration?” Eskaal grinned and chuckled softly knowing that the words would definitely ignite her desires. “I see you are a clever one!” Meagia reciprocated the expressions with a mild shock.

“Not the one who initiated it.” He softly chuckled and placed his both hands up in the air, totally submitting to the lady. “Certainly!” Meagia nodded blankly. Eskaal playfully shrugged while encouraging her to proceed however she wanted. There was something peculiar about her attitude which he loved along with the fact that she was his mate.

“Then I should up the stakes now that you have challenged my capabilities.” She commented and saw him with determination as their faces were barely inches apart. “I like where this night is going.” Eskaal spoke while licking his own lower lip, Meagia pulled down his trousers and winked at Eskaal.

“I like how you are reacting to my touch.” Eskaal hummed a bit after he chuckled, his eyes were still fixated over his face and flickering eyes. “Mmhm..arff…” Meagia took the tip of his hardened dick in her mouth and sucked it.

“Are you going to keep on torturing me like this? The shaft and balls are aching to feel the heat of your mouth.” Meagia pulled out the tip of dick and playfully stared at him, her hand travelling inside his shirt.

“Oh really? What about your heart? Or is it just your dick which is aching?” Eskaal was stunned to see her audacity but it did not make him angry like other women must have. Meagia was his chosen mate and that negated everything else, he was willing to soften down and admit that something within him had suddenly taken a liking towards her.

“You sure are a bold one to ask me something heinous like that.” He held her by forearms and tossed Meagia, now she was under his semi naked silhouette. “Am I really the succubus here, Mr beast?” She playfully asked with a pout, if Meagia must have seen how she reacted that night under the influence of drugs she might have wished for death.

“You have already initiated all this and called me a beast. To save my face now, shall I show you what the actual beast can be like?” Meagia wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Her lips brushed against his, igniting a fire within Eskaal.

“Oh really? And what will you do?” She traced her index finger over his nose and halted on his lips, when Eskaal licked her finger. “Actions weigh more than words, dear.” Meagia chuckled when he licked her whole finger as he warned her, his intensified gaze looked into her drugged dreamy eyes.

“Certainly they do. How are you planning to please me now, uh?” Eskaal scooped her into his arms and took the woman towards the bed. Meagia was awestruck with his facial features which drew her in effortlessly.

“Shhh…” He placed his index finger over her lips after throwing Meagia on the bed in a swift motion. “You shouldn’t talk much now, rather enjoy what you have started.” Meagia got confused for a moment but somewhere deep down she wished for him to take charge. Eat her like the big bad wolf he was!

“Oh? Are you implying I talk nonse-” Her voice got interrupted by the forceful kiss, Eskaal hovered over her body as she laid beneath him. “That…that was the best ever kiss I had.” A blush appeared on her cheeks when Eskaal paused, her confession encouraged her to seize the chance.

“Oh, you shall love everything that not so long after you will moan my name.” A lopsided grin appeared on his lips, as Eskaal slid his hands over her barely intact neckline. “But I don’t even know your name.” Her quizzical voice made him halt, Eskaal shook his head with a soft chuckle before he could proceed.

“Eskaal. Eskaal Espenova. Memorize it because that is all you are going to scream all night.” He winked once again while licking his canine, the woman underneath him was blowing hot hair and appeared to be the most beautiful one he had ever seen!
