\u201cAlpha, would you dance with me?\u201d<\/p>\n

Serena Hum, the heiress of Muses, stood in front of me in a low\u2013cut black gown. Her smile was bold, and her Beta scent carried an open invitation.<\/p>\n
I took a sip of my cocktail, my tone flat.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t dance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Serena raised an eyebrow. \u201cSo I\u2019m not attractive enough?\u201d<\/p>\n
She leaned forward, her dress showing off more than it should.<\/p>\n
Gasps came from nearby, but I didn\u2019t even glance her way. \u201cSorry,\u201d I said. \u201cI\u2019m colorblind.\u201d<\/p>\n
Serena frowned, confused.<\/p>\n
But I didn\u2019t care. My eyes were already locked on the dance floor.<\/p>\n
Deanna was in Jake\u2019s arms. Her gray gown twirled with each step.<\/p>\n
I could smell her sweet Omega scent, which was mine now, mixed with another Alpha\u2019s. Rage shot through me like fire, and inside me, Griffin roared furiously.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just a dance, right? Let\u2019s go,\u201d I said to Serena.<\/p>\n
She blinked in surprise, then lit up with delight. \u201cI knew you wouldn\u2019t turn me down.\u201d<\/p>\n
Serena reached for my hand, but I ignored it.<\/p>\n
I grabbed her wrist instead and pulled her straight onto the dance floor.<\/p>\n
Serena\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
I had almost given up when Luis finally asked me to dance.<\/p>\n
Of course, I knew it\u2013no man could resist my charm.<\/p>\n
He was just playing hard to get. Clever move, really.<\/p>\n

But before I could even place my hand in his, he yanked me toward the floor.<\/p>\n
I stumbled, nearly twisting my ankle, but caught myself in time.<\/p>\n
I kept up with the waltz, thanks to my years of practice.<\/p>\n

My steps steadied, and I quickly lifted my head with a flawless smile. \u201cAlpha,\u201d I teased, \u201cdo you like it rough? Maybe later, in a room, we could try\u2026<\/p>\n
His only answer was silence.<\/p>\n
Puzzled, I followed his line of sight.<\/p>\n
\u201d<\/p>\n
In the center of the dance floor, Jake was holding a woman in a gray gown close as they moved together.<\/p>\n
I let out a soft laugh. \u201cThat Alpha is a friend of my father\u2019s. He and that Omega look good together\u2013almost like they planned those matching outfits.\u201d<\/p>\n
My smile widened as I leaned toward Luis. \u201cBut you and I \u2026 We\u2019d make an even better pair.\u201d<\/p>\n
The music shifted. The men spun their partners outward in graceful arcs.<\/p>\n
Before I could even finish speaking, Luis released me with a sharp flick, sending me spinning<\/p>\n
away.<\/p>\n
In a flash, I landed right in front of Jake.<\/p>\n
What? My partner had been switched? It hit me then.<\/p>\n
Luis hadn\u2019t asked me to dance because he wanted to. He only used me so he could trade dance partners.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d been played.<\/p>\n
Oh my god.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m the heiress of Muses!<\/p>\n
How dare he treat me like that?<\/p>\n
What made me even angrier was Jake\u2019s face\u2013clearly annoyed. His steps turned half\u2013hearted, like he wasn\u2019t even trying.<\/p>\n
Seriously? Do I look that terrible?<\/p>\n

There are men all over the world who\u2019d kill to hold me, flatter me, or even dream about tearing this dress off.<\/p>\n
Sure, Jake was remarkable, but he was definitely not my type.<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
I felt a strong hand clamp around my waist and pull me in.<\/p>\n
The next moment, I was swept into a familiar embrace.<\/p>\n
I jerked my head up and met Luis\u2019s deep, stormy eyes. His gaze was cold and restless, like dark waves crashing across the sea.<\/p>\n
Dance partner swaps sometimes happened during a waltz.<\/p>\n
It took real skill from the male, and it was also a show of dominance between men.<\/p>\n
The sudden move set the crowd buzzing, followed by louder applause and excited murmurs.<\/p>\n
It had been two weeks since I\u2019d last seen him, and now he was right here, holding me close.<\/p>\n
This was different from standing across from Jake with distance between us.<\/p>\n
Luis embraced me in his arms completely, his Alpha presence wrapping me in full.<\/p>\n
My heartbeat quickened, no matter how hard I tried to steady it.<\/p>\n
He held my waist with one hand, his other hand laced tightly with mine. His polished black shoes struck the floor with exact rhythm, guiding me in smooth, perfect spins.<\/p>\n
As the waltz swelled toward the climax, he leaned down to my ear and whispered, \u201cSo this is the space you wanted?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2194","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
