As we pulled in front of the hotel, there were cameramen and reporters. I looked at the guys. “Really? Press?”
Simon grinned. “Every year. Didn’t you know? We were the most eligible pack bachelors in the state until you came along, love.”
I shook my head with a smile. “Good thing that’s in the past now.”
Elias laughed as he opened the back door of the car and stepped out onto the carpeted ground. It was even red.
I was going to walk the red carpet. Was this really my life right now?
I still couldn’t quite wrap my head around it as Elias held out his hand to me.
Camera flashes went off as I stepped out of the car and voices from all around assaulted us.
“Elias, who is that?”
“Simon, have you guys finally found your omega?”
“Xavier, when was your last girlfriend?”
They threw questions out at us as we started moving down the carpet toward the door to the hotel.The flashing lights blinded me and Elias pulled me along with him.
“Sorry, little one. We’re almost away from them.” He squeezed my hand that was on top of his arm. “Just another minute.”
The others were behind us, waving and saying hello to the reporters. Julian stopped to give an interview as we finally made it inside. The architecture had my mouth gaping in awe. Artwork graced the walls with sculptures along the hallways.
We stopped in front of a worker who was giving out tickets for coats and purses. Elias took the ticket, placing it in his pocket as I handed over my clutch.
The woman smiled at us as she took my things. “Enjoy your evening!”
Elias led us through hallways to an enormous ballroom. Hundreds of people stood around the room, either talking or dancing. Workers holding trays of appetizers and champagne moved amongst them.
“We have to mingle a bit before we dance, is that alright, little one?” Elias leaned down and whispered in my ear.
I couldn’t stop the shiver that cascaded down my spine, and my nipples hardened. I nodded. “Okay.”
Mingling was one of the most boring things I’ve ever had to do. I shook more hands than I could remember. Most of the conversations went over my head. There was only one conversation that I participated in when a woman went to touch Simon’s arm and I growled low. Elias had held me still as everyone laughed about protective omegas. The woman had looked properly chastised. Elias had purred rather loudly, his smile one of cocky possession.
“Okay. Enough.” Xavier grabbed my hand and pulled me into the dance floor, flipping the others off. “Let’s dance.”
I laughed as his arm went around my waist while his right hand held my left hand. Xavier moved to the music, bringing me along for the ride. His lips pressed to the side of my forehead as we swayed.
“I can’t wait to tear this dress off of you.” He growled softly in my ear.
My lips curved as he spun me. “You know you are quite a charmer.” Teasing him, I kissed his cheek.
He laughed softly as he pulled me close to sway to the music. I loved it when he laughed. He was doing it more often, and it made my heart lighten.
His hand went to the middle of my back, and I shivered. I really couldn’t wait to get back either. I wouldn’t let them tear the dress, I liked it too much, but they could help me out of it.
“May I interrupt?” Julian stepped up to us. Xavier smirked and twirled me into Julian’s arms like a professional.
Julian’s hands went to my waist as he turned us around the dance floor.
“You’re doing great.” He pulled me close. “Are you alright? The people and the press aren’t too much, are they?”
I looked up at him gently. “I’m okay. You guys keep me preoccupied. Except for that one woman.” I glared over at Elias and his eyes widened at me.
Julian snickered. “You’re going to punish him, aren’t you?”
