Summary
Contrary to what everyone in the ton claimed, marriage was an ugly game and love was a fool’s deception used as a cover to hide that truth.
You could see it very clearly, even when those around you could not.
In your opinion, anyone who believed in the existence of love was either naïve or pitiful and you were neither of those. If this was indeed a game, you were going to win it, regardless of how many feelings were hurt in the process.
People called it heartless. You called it smart.
Love was a plague on people’s hearts, a lie at best and a trap at worst, and you were determined not to let it catch you off guard ever. Even the night before your debut to the society, you laid in bed wide awake, repeating your plan in your head over and over again until the shadows of the night were chased away by the first rays of the sunlight.
But the ironic thing about that perfect plan of yours?
Life had a different one in the works.

Summary
"S-Stiles?" The tanned one croaks, arms falling to his sides. Thomas doesn't know who he's calling to and doesn't care. He shoves past him, grabs the young werewolf on his right and puts the gun to his head.
He glances towards Teresa and Minho, who form a defensive circle around Newt, who's cradling his injured arm to his chest. Thomas' jaw tightens. He raises his voice, keeps it cool and steady though he knows the werewolves can hear his heart jackhammering against his chest. "Release him. Or I will shoot."
He scans the room, expects anger but only receives hurt and confused looks in return. Then that boy says it again, with more urgency and Thomas realizes in shock that it's directed at him.
"Stiles."
