Dedicated to my friend Bridget!
*****
It was 6:50 pm and the guests began to arrive, pooling into the mansion's foyer.

I watched all of this happening from my bedroom window. 

Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Porches littered the driveway. 

Wow!  These people spend their money like there's no tomorrow!
I'd be broke just by purchasing it's windscreen wipers!

All the guests were dressed to kill.  The men wore smart tuxedos like they were out of a James Bond movie and the women wore expensive and lavish dresses like they were the Bond girl.

I could hear all the chattering downstairs and knew that Erynn, Jaycon and Lucien must be down there greeting the guests.  I don't know about Eefah.  Erynn did say she didn't like to socialise with people.

I was still nervous about going down to meet everyone.  I stayed cooped up in my room, fiddling with my fingers.

"So, Lucien.  I heard you have a new pet.  Is that true?"  I heard a man's voice say.

I froze.

"Yes."  Came Lucien's deep voice.

"Well, where is she?  Is she having a game of hide and seek or did you tire her out all night in bed?"  He joked.

I felt a deep blush burning me up.

Do guys seriously talk about that shit?

My bedroom door burst open. 

"Isadora!  You need to come down and meet the guests.  They're all asking about my brother's new pet,"  Erynn cried.

"No shit.  They talk pretty loudly,"  I muttered.

She stomped over to me and grabbed my wrist.

"Well, come on then!"  She dragged me to the door.

I tried to free my wrist away from her death grasp but she was unnaturally strong.

Damn vampire genetics!

I cursed and gave in.  

As soon as we reached the top of the stair way I groaned.

At least 200 people were scattered across the foyer chatting, laughing and sipping champagne.

I also felt a bit like Cinderella, standing at the top of the stair way, waiting to make a grand entrance.  But luckily everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves and didn't notice me and Erynn.
Which was good because I didn't want all the attention.  Maybe I could slip into the crowd unnoticed.

"LUCIEN!"  Erynn roared over the commotion and waved her hand to catch her brother's attention.

I groaned and mentally face palmed.  I did say maybe. 

Lucien turned his gaze towards us along with a few others who heard Erynn's bellowing.

He averted his eyes to me.  His eyebrows furrowed slightly and a darkness came over his eyes.  His heated gaze ran over my body slowly, taking in every little detail.  From the slit that exposed most of my shapely legs to the neckline that hung a little low on my chest and showed off the valley of my breasts.  He took it all in. 

I was feeling really self-conscious right now. 

"Okay, let's go,"  Erynn said cheerfully and went down the stairs.

I followed her, careful not to trip myself and land headfirst at somebody's shoes.

We approached Lucien and his little group. 

"Here she is,"  Erynn smiled.

"Ah, so this must be your new pet Lucien.  What a sight she is.  I wouldn't mind having her as my own either,"  A man in his late 20s said, his eyes raking over my figure.  He had brown hair and dull blue eyes.

I had to restrain myself from throwing up all over the floor. 

"Nice to meet you.  I'm Raphael Alonso.  And what might be your name, beautiful?" 

He held out his hand and I quickly shook it.

"I'm Isadora,"  I replied, giving him a small smile.

"Ah, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl,"  He grinned, showing off his dazzling white teeth. 

"So, Mr. Alonso, how is your pack doing?"  I nearly leapt with joy when Erynn changed the subject.

What did Erynn mean by 'pack'?

"Very well, thank you for asking Erynn.  We're being more prepared for rogue attacks now."

"Mr. Alonso is the Alpha of the Red Wood pack," Erynn explained to me.

So he must be a werewolf then...like Jaycon.

"Let me introduce you to some of my pack members."

2 young men stood beside Mr. Alonso.

The first one stuck out his hand.  "Hi, I'm Jackson, Raphael's Beta.  Second in command,"  He smiled.

I shook his hand and returned the smile.

The second guy also stuck out his hand.  "I'm Jevon.  Raphael's Gamma, the third in command,"  He smiled and I shook his hand.

Jevon let his hand linger on mine and I looked at him in confusion.  He locked eyes with me and gave me another smile. 

I guess he was quite handsome.  Maybe 6ft 2", strong build and a sweet guy.

I gave him a smile.

"Hey, looks like you've met my kin already,"  Jaycon appeared behind us.

"Jaycon!"  I squealed and he embraced me in a big hug.

Jaycon chuckled at my childish outburst.

I haven't seen Jaycon in a while and I have to say, I really missed him.

I heard a low growl and jumped out of Jaycon's arms.  I spun my head to Lucien but he remained expressionless and acted like nothing happened.  Though, I didn't miss his tightly clenched fists.

Erynn opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by a voice that sounded like a nail being dragged on a black board.

"Lucien, baby!"  A young blonde woman with a way too tight, blue dress skittered over to us.  I guess she was okay looking, except for the fact that she wore 5 pounds of makeup on her face. 

"Uh, somebody drown me in a river,"  I heard Erynn mutter beside me.  Jaycon obviously heard and he laughed quietly.

She wrapped her arms around Lucien and gave him a kiss.

My heart dropped and my fists were balled while I tried to stay calm.  I couldn't help but feel jealousy towards this women.  Whoever the fuck she was.

"Diamonde, what are you doing here?"  Lucien asked, clearly not happy about her butting in. 

Dee-a-mond.  Huh, sounded like a snobbish, rich person's name.

"To come and see you of course!"  She pouted at him. 

Ugh!  I wanted to smack her stupid makeup-loaded face. 

"Erynn, Jaycon, Raphael, Jackson and Jevon, how are all of you?"  She flashed them a fake smile and I let out a small gag.

She suddenly snapped her head towards me and her smile disappeared.

"And who might you be?"  She sneered at me.

"She's my new pet,"  Lucien answered for me.

Looks like he doesn't even have the guts to say my name.

"But I-"  Bitchface started to say.

"Enough, Diamonde,"  Lucien growled.  The look he gave her would have John Cena piss his pants.

"Mr. Abelló."  We all looked over to the voice.  I realised it was the driver, Reynold.

"Are you ready to announce your speech, sir?"  He called.

"Yes, I'm coming now." Lucien untangled himself from Diamonde and made his way over to a small podium that was set up on the other side of the room.

I couldn't help but feel the excitement threatening to explode in me.  This was it.

Let the Revenge Game commence.

Hello, my awesome readers!  I bet y'all are so impatient to see what's going to happen. ;P  That's going to be in the next chapter so be PATIENT!  Who do you think Diamonde is?  Was there a little bit of a love-at-first-sight with Jevon?
Anyway, I hope you had a great New Year and wishing you all the best for 2016. :)
