In one of the palace-like mansions of the city, a woman was standing in front of the glass wall. She was looking outside, and her beautiful face was twisted in a frown as she looked at the deserted parking area of her mansion. She was wearing a decent-length lavender dress, and the skirt of the dress had a bit of flair to it like a ballerina’s skirt.
With her arms crossed and her ash blonde hair curled and set in waves, the woman looked really beautiful, and she would have looked even more beautiful if she were not wearing a scowl on her face. She turned to look at her maid and then said to her, "Where is he? Was he not supposed to come here at eight?"
The maid lowered her head and replied in a soft voice, "We received a message from the Red Blood Hill pack. It seemed like there was an emergency, and the alpha of the pack was delayed because of that. He will be here in forty minutes, Miss Jules."
Jules Drakos was not happy with the tardy attitude of her mating match. When her father told her that he had found a lycan for her, she was not happy. After all, she was a majestic dragon shifter and Killian Sokolov, no matter how skilled and powerful he might be, in the end, he was just a lycan.
He could never match the glory of the Drakos family.
This was the reason why she was determined to show Killian his place from the start. She deliberately took her time when she was getting ready, as Jules wanted to make the man wait. With how many admirers waiting for her, she thought that Killian would come to get her an hour before the promised time. However, who would have thought that the man would be missing, even though she was already ready and waiting for him to take her to the date that was promised!
"Be patient, Jules," said her elder cousin as she elegantly lifted the cup of tea in front of her. She turned to look at the woman and said in a whisper, "Men like Killian Sokolov are not like those little shifters and admirers whom you meet and see every day. They are useless men without power or money. Killian Sokolov, on the other hand, is the leader of the lycans. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that he, too, has the bloodline of royalty, as his ancestors were Lycan Kings."
"You need to be on your best behaviour if you want to be chosen as his luna."
Jules rolled her eyes. She had come to her cousin’s pack in the hope that her sister would stop her father from making her meet mating matches. Who would have thought that her elder sister was on the plan with her father? Now she had fallen into the same trouble as before. The only comfort was that her sister had promised her that as long as she went on this dinner date, she could go clubbing.
"I am always on my best behaviour," Jules stated with a pout. She walked over to the couch and plopped down beside her elder sister. "But what about this man that you and Father have picked up, sister? You can’t tell me that you don’t find his actions rude. A fine lady like me can make a man wait, but since when has a gentleman started to make a woman wait?"
