CHAPTER 016
LUCAS POV
As soon as I got home with Hazel I had to hear her berate me for hanging out with Emma. She was so devastated because she believed that I was betraying her by going out with someone
that she hated.
Her parents weren’t even home. They didn’t want to see me. She just wanted to get me away
from Emma.
I ended up just making myself something to eat and I went to my room and I laid down on the
bed.
I knew that Hazel was never going to give up on me about this. But there was nothing that she
could do to stop me from going out with Emma. There was too much at stake.
And the thought of her being alone with Levi right now was driving me crazy.
I should be out there doing something to get closer to her. Not letting my asshole cousin
come between us.
Well, I won’t be letting that happen again.
While I was sitting on my bed reading a book that night I heard someone tapping on the window. So I got up and I opened the window only for Levi to climb through it.
“You do know that we have a front door.” I said.
“And run into Hazel. No f*****g way.” He said, standing up.
“What the hell are you even doing here?” I asked, crossing my arms and leaning against the desk in my room.
“I came here to make you an offer.”
“You broke the rules. You know that you did so the deadline is now off.” I demanded.
“Yeah. I always knew that deadline was never going to work. Not for either of us. So, we’re just gonna have to come up with a new arrangement.” Levi said, sitting on my bed with a smirk on
his face.
“You want us to fight for her?” I asked.
“Yeah. I think we should both date her and let her know that we are both pursuing her and see what she thinks. I personally think that she would be flattered and she will date both of us to
see who she likes more.” Levi said.

“Really? And what if she doesn’t choose you?” I asked.
“That’s a risk I am willing to take. But we have a lot more in common than you do. And we’ve
grown up in the same pack. Besides, she doesn’t even know who you really are.” Levi scoffed.
“And you better not f*****g tell her either.” I growled.
“Wow. Temper. Don’t worry. I don’t plan on telling her anything. But you need to know if she
finds out the truth then you’re as good as dead.”
“She’s not going to kill me.” I said.
“Not her. Her dads. She’s got three of them.”
I knew that he was right. And Emma has told me repeatedly that they are really protective.
I know that her mother has fae in her and she can hear people’s thoughts. That’s one reason
why I am going to put off meeting her parents as much as possible.
I don’t want them to know the truth because they will execute me.
“And if you go near the castle and start acting weird then her mother is going to read your mind as well. So her parents are staying completely out of this. We’re only interacting with Emma. She doesn’t seem to have any of her mother’s gifts.” I said.
“Lucky for us.” Levi said.
“Is that all? Is that the only reason why you’re here?” I asked.
“Yeah. I guess so. We’re going to talk to Emma in the morning and we’re going to tell her that we’re both interested and we’re both going to date her and see how it goes.” Levi said.
“If you think she’ll go for it. But you know all bets are off if she tells us to go to hell.” I said.
“Then we’ll come up with something else.”
“Why are you so invested in this? I mean, yeah she’s the princess. But why are you so interested in winning?”
“Because she is the princess and nothing would be better for my family right now than to be associated with the royal family.” Levi said.
“Is that all?” I asked.
“I wouldn’t scoff about that mr. hot stuff. You’re the one that came up with this bet, remember?” Levi asked.
“Only because I know that I can get the princess into bed before you can.” I smirked.
“Well, we’ll see about that. And I’ll be seeing you in the morning.” Levi said, getting up and

walking towards the window. But he stopped and turned to look at me. “Let the best wolf win.”
He said before he climbed out the window and I closed it behind him.
This damn bet is going to be the end of me.
We made it the same night I saw her. At her 16th birthday party.
I have to admit, I was happy to make the bet because I thought she was gorgeous. But she was a princess and I thought she was going to be a spoiled little brat.
I didn’t know that she would be completely different to what princesses are usually like.
Humans are usually stuck up snobs, but she’s completely different to that.
I haven’t seen a mean bone in her body and she doesn’t even stand up to Hazel. She’s not
mean back and she doesn’t fight back against Hazel. I really don’t understand any of that.
She has more power than anyone her age, and she’s the nicest person I’ve met in this pack.
With few friends.
She doesn’t even have the whole school falling over themselves to be her friend. But
apparently, she’s the one that made sure that wasn’t going to happen.
She chose her friends knowing that they liked her and not because of her title.
I thought that was actually pretty noble of her.
But the shitty thing is, I learnt all of this crap after I made that bet with Levi. Not before. I was
just invited to the birthday party and there she was.
She was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined she would be.
I laid down on my bed and stared at the wall for ages, unable to sleep. Starting to wonder what the hell was wrong with me.
I had girls wanting to date me all the time back home. They would come running when I called
them.
But Emma is completely different to them. In a good way.
What the f**k was happening to me? I would never question myself about making a bet about a girl. Why the f**k was I doing it now?
