Michelle what‘s the worst that can happen?
Sienna
The worst that could happen? Oh, Michelle. You have no idea, I thought.
We had just parked and were making our way toward the towering front doors of the Pack H ouse.
Everyone was dressed to the nines. With every step, I could feel my doom approaching
I wanted to turn around and sprint home.
Yes, even in heels. I was that desperate.
“Oh, this will be so good for
our standing in the Pack,” Mom said, oblivious. “I can‘t wait to meet the Alpha. I swear if I were a few years younger...”
“Mom, please.” I begged. “Stop.”
Luckily, my mom quickly became distracted again and I didn‘t have to explain why I nee ded her to shut up so badly.
The Haze was doing a number on me right now. All day, I‘d tried to repress it, but now... Now the Haze decided it was a good time to try and take ahold of my body.
Just as we were attending the dinner party. Please, I once again begged my heating bo dy. I don‘t have time for this.
Fuck you, my body snapped back. Ugh, I was having conversations with my body now. I t was just wrong. Damn Haze.
A human receptionist greeted us and led us into the dining hall.
Chandeliers, old portraits of former Alphas, and a dozen tables, set with silver cutlery fit for royalty. Not a bunch of commoners like
1. us.
When we sat down, I noticed our table was closest to the Alpha‘s table.
Coincidence? I remembered Jeremy‘s strange lingering look when he‘d brought the invit ation to our home.
But I disregarded it. Yes. It was a coincidence. It had to be.
From my seat, I finally had a good vantage point to judge the other ladies in attendance.
I was definitely not the best– looking, that much was for sure. There were other young women, about the Alpha‘s age, in their late twenties, who were simply exquisite.
With their long, slender legs, their full, pouting lips, and sparkling golden eyes, I knew th ere was no way I could compare.
I was curvy, my fire– red hair fell wildly across my back, and my icy blue eyes were less...traditional I guess.
But what I lacked in sophistication, I know I made up for in raw intensity.
Nobody in that room burned brighter. For better or worse.
“...what is a girl like that even doing here?” I heard one of the women whisper to her frie nds. They snickered.
Catty bitches.
It wasn‘t like they were royalty either. They just clearly thought of themselves that way.
I knew exactly what I was, and it wasn‘t some she– wolf on her hands and knees, begging to be ridden by an important Pack House wolf.
I actually stood for something.
Somewhere out there was a mate worth waiting for. Someone who would look into my eyes and really see me. Someone who, upon first sight, would love me. And I, him.
Here in the Pack House? There was nothing to see.
I‘d almost considered leaving right then and there when I noticed one of the boys at ano ther table eying my cleavage. I couldn‘t explain why, but I was flattered.
Just then, a woman strutted through the door, and the boy‘s eyes flicked to her immedia telly
Everyone, even the women, stared at her. Tan, tall, with a swan– like neck, she wore her red gown with the grace of a queen, not a werewolf.
“That‘s her!” Selene whispered. “That‘s Jocelyn, Aiden Norwood‘s ex. And there‘s her n ew man.
Beside Jocelyn was a blond spiky– haired hunk everyone knew. He was the Alpha‘s Beta, his number two. Josh Daniels. H e kissed her on the cheek and took his seat next to the Alpha.
I wondered if he and Aiden could still be friends since Josh was dating Jocelyn now.
The thought didn‘t linger long because, the next thing I knew, Selene and Jeremy were taking me by the h and and leading me over.
What?!
Why?!
I hadn‘t asked to be introduced to anyone.
“Jocelyn, you‘re looking radiant as always,” Selene cooed.
“Oh. Selene, vou flatter me. You look
absolutely stunning in that dress,” replied Jocelyn. “And who‘s this gorgeous girl? Your s ister?”
