Submission is Not My Style novel Chapter 67

She clears her throat and says softly, “But my brother isn’t like that. He’s not the big bad Alpha he pretends to be, Kali. Jack’s got a good heart.” 

I sit down on the edge of the bed. “I’m still thinking about it. About him. I just want to make sure he’s not playing some long game, you know?” 

She gives me a faint smile. “Also….If it’s the pack you’re worried about, don’t be. They don’t actually like Lady Celestia. It’s her title they’re obsessed with. She’s the Alpha King’s daughter. Power. Prestige. Everyone wants a piece of that.” 

She laughs bitterly. “Honestly, for all we know, you could be the Alpha King’s daughter and they’d be lining up to kiss your ass.” 

I burst out laughing, the thought too ridiculous–too absurd.“Oh please! Imagine me, a daughter of an Alpha king. I’d trip walking into a royal hall and –flash the whole kingdom.” 

Jasmine laughs so hard she snorts. “And I’d be there filming it.” 

We both dissolve into laughter–the kind that makes your stomach ache and your eyes water. When it finally fades, Jasmine wipes a tear from her cheek. 

“It’s been a long time since I laughed like this,” she says softly, her smile dimming just a little. 

I reach out and gently squeeze her hand. “Same here.” 

Her expression shifts, becoming more serious as she straightens up. “Alright, enough of the mushy stuff. Let’s try on the dresses. We’re running out of time–the party’s tonight.” 

I start flipping through the dresses until my fingers stop on the deep blue one I saw earlier. I pull it out, letting the fabric drape elegantly over my arm. 

“Oooh, Jasmine coos “it only you had a bhre necklace to go with that, you’d look stunning” 

Bhie necklace. 

My fingers twitch at the memory. 

think…“whisper, dropping the dress on the bed, “I might have something.” 

Jasmine’s eyes flash the unmistakable sign she’s mindlinking.”Okay, I’ll see you at the party! I’ve gotta run,” she says quickly before bolting for the door. 

“Jas–wait!” I call after her, but she’s already gone. 

gh, staring at the door with a tight feeling in my chest. I don’t need anyone to tell me who called her. 

Her mate–Beta Khaos. 

God, I hope she’ll be okay. 

Shaking off the unease, I hurry to my wardrobe. I search through the drawers, shuffling through the clothes and bags until I see it–right at the bottom. My bag of gold tucked into the corner like it was placed there with care. 

Jack 

He must’ve kept it safe for me, without ever asking how I came to possess that much money. 

I open the bag, my hands trembling as I pull out a velvet pouch and loosen the strings. Inside lies the delicate blue necklace. It catches the light, the sapphire at its center shimmering like the ocean. 

I hesitate. The last time I wore this–it burned me. Scorched my skin like I wasn’t worthy. 

But now…. 

I slowly lift it, cradling it like something precious. My heart races as I press the cool metal against my skin. 

No pain. No burning. 

Just warmth. 

Relief blooms in my chest and I fasten the necklace around my neck, then step toward the mirror. I stare at my reflection. 

The sapphire glows softly at my throat, my dark curls cascading over my shoulders. 

I look… different.
