nAfter locking the house, I sat in Alexander's Mercedes and it wasn't long before we were standing in front of our university.

nTaking my hand in his, he leads me towards the gate where our friends were waiting at the entrance of the gates that would lead to the celebration night.

n

"Wow! Who is this lady in front of us? No wonder, you said you don't want to go shopping. Who would've known you had such pretty dress in your hands.

" Tina said before whistling which made me a bit shy.

n

"You look beautiful Victoria.

" Daniel suddenly said with a soft smile on his face.

nI looked towards him thankfully as I noticed his partner looking at me with a weird expression.

n'Geez! I am not here to steal your partner, so be rest assured. I already have my man by my side.' I wanted to say to her.

n

"Let's go. Yeah?

" Alexander suddenly cooed in my ears, his voice a bit deeper than earlier, as I felt like he was suppressing some emotion inside.

nShrugging my shoulders not caring much, I took Alexander's hand back on mine, before we entered the gates.

nFor a college that didn't have too many students, it was surely crowded today.

n

"You just be surprised seeing the crowd right? It's because people from near like the whole town of pearly canines is also invited to the celebration.

" Alexander said.

nWell, that explains.

n

"I know you love dancing, so, would you like to become the first dance of the night along with me?

" Alexander suddenly asked which confused me.

n

"Why would we dance first? Shouldn't founders or someone like that do it?

" I asked.

n

"You are right, the privilege is for the founder's family. And I am telling you to dance first because my lineage is the founder of this college and my parents who used to dance first always, are not in the town currently, they won't be able to make it before tomorrow, do you want everyone to wait till tomorrow.

" Alexander said.

nUh-oh.. that wasn't expected.

nBefore I could give him my confirmation or deny it, he pulled me along with him to the dance floor as a classic pop song started.

nPlacing his hand on my back, he pulled me towards himself as our body almost touched each other. Taking my other hand in his hand, he started to lead me through the song.

nDancing with Alexander was the best feeling, however, I won't deny the fact that his hands on my bare back were highly distracting.

nI often found myself drifting to my Lala land and doing some unmentionable things to Alexander. If it wasn't for Carla who was reprimanding me from time to time, I would've surely spoiled this dance with him.

nOnce our dance on the first song was over, everyone started to enter the stage with their partners they had come with, to enjoy the night.

n

"Would you like to dance some more?

" Alexander asked in his husky seductive voice, however, before I could reply to h, I heard a shrill annoying voice from behind me calling for Alexander.

n

"You have already danced with your partner. Mind dancing with me?

" Laila suddenly said, which made me leave Alexander's hand immediately.

nI looked at his face, for any emotion of denial, and felt extremely disappointed when he looked dazed and was constantly looking at Laila.

nI was disappointed but I knew where he was coming from. I mean, I wasn't his only mate. She was his mate too.

nWhat was I supposed to do in a situation like that? Thus, excusing myself, I left the dance floor, not even giving Alexander any chance to say anything.

nI know it was cowardly of me to leave the man I love for someone else, but what would I've said to stop them from dancing? I haven't even told him about my true feelings. What right do I have, to claim him for myself alone?

n

"You are stupid Victoria. He is our mate. It's obvious he will choose us over anyone. Can't you see that the guy also has feelings for you?

" Carla said.

n

"Yea? She is his mate too. And if I was soo important then why do you think he is dancing with her? Look how close they are.

" I said, to her as I turned around to look where Alexander and Laila were dancing. Laila's head was almost placed on his chest and he hugged her closer.

nTurning back around, not wanting to watch more, I was about to go towards the food section when I saw Daniel waiving at me.

n

"Woah! You looked so beautiful when you came. What happened to your happy mood? Who is daring enough to ruin the mood of the alpha mate?

" Daniel said jokingly.

n

"Alpha?

" I asked questioningly.

n

"Here, me? I am the alpha-beta of Alexander.

" Daniel said.

n

"Eh?

" I asked more confused.

n

"Haha... nothing. My bad. You won't understand anything right now.

" He laughed before taking my hand in his own.

nI looked at our intertwined hands and couldn't help but feel the same sense of security I always feel when I am with him.

n

"How about, we get out of here and talk a bit. I want to tell you, more like confess something important.

" Daniel said as he pulled me out of the crowd towards the corridors of the university near a secluded area.

nSeeing the darkness around me, I would've become self-conscious if it would've been anyone else. But knowing that it was Daniel who was such a sweet boy, and with whom I always feel this strange sense of security, I didn't feel any fear.

n

"Say it, what do you want to confess,

" I asked, as I turned around to face him, smiling sweetly at him to encourage him to go on.

n

"I like you.

" He said before closing the distance between us.

n

"Wait, what?

" I asked confused.

n

"I like you Victoria. I know it's abrupt of me to say something like that when I don't even spend much time with you. But it's all because I always feel shy whenever I am around you.

nIt's not long before I finally realised my feelings for you, and decided that I can't stay away from you any longer. I want you close to me so that I can cherish you, care for you and love you.

nThere is this strange sense of responsibility I always feel towards you. Like it's my duty to protect you, care for you. If this isn't love than what it is?

nI am really confused. If you have any solution and suggestion for me to control this feeling, then please tell me, or accept me.

" Daniel said in one breath.

nI hate to admit it, it was the cutest way someone had ever proposed to me.

nBefore I could say anything, he came more close to me before hugging me, as he whispered,

n

"I am also, scared of losing you.

"

nHe looked at me, while still hugging me, as he started to inch closer to me.

nOh my god! Oh my god! What do I do? What do I do? I don't want to break his soft heart, but I can't lead him on either. What do I do?

n'Carla, help?' I whispered in my head.

nAs I was about to reply to him, but before I could do that, I heard a loud growl of anger, something that thunder usually makes, scaring the ** out of me.

nBefore I could even react to the sound more, Daniel was immediately pulled away from me, and in front of me standing was a very angry looking Alexander.
