I wake up to the sounds of girls squealing, "Oh mah GAWD!!!" Kate, Larisa's best friend shrieked.
"Let GO OF MY HAIR !!! " I heard Jessica scream.
I throw my blankets off me and rip the door open to see a fake blonde held by the hair as they fight for the big bathroom. I roll my eyes and get my things ready for the ride there, weird though, we could easily run to the damn place which was in Michigan.
I slide past the fighting girl and laugh as they gasped, mad that they wouldn't take a shower anytime soon. I wash myself and change into a long sleeve with my favorite pair of sweats. I got out to face a pair of mad blondes.
"Hey, no time to lose, everyone fill cars, we don't have all day."James said as he walked out of his room with a duffel bag over his shoulder.
The girls all groaned ,"But my bath!"
"Go!" He ordered and the girl rushed to retrieve their bags.
I barked a laugh as I got my luggage , "What a bunch of girls," I say then asked James,"How's Matilda?"
"You're lucky my sister's mate is afraid of you, Thea, cause he wasn't that pleased about the bruised jaw you left her," James told me as we walked to the car.
"She'll heal," I shrugged, "Plus, I told her to practice, she didn't listen," I say and opened the Mustang's door and sit on the passenger seat.
Ricky, the pack's Beta , and Caesar,the Delta, climb in along with Hana, Caesar's little sister. All the other unmated rode in a small tour bus. Our pack had around 138 unmated wolfs, of course we had more, but they were too young or stubborn to come to the ball.
"Hey did you guys hear about Shadow coming to the ball," Caesar said as we drove through the interstate.
I looked at him and asked him since he sat next to me,"Shadow Who?"
"The Shadow Wolf. He is the Alpha of the Moon Shadow Pack, an ancient pack ruled by the Old Laws," James says in a tone that described boredom.
"The old laws? The ones that said a woman couldn't lead a pack and how men should only fight. Those laws? " I asked .
"Yeah," Ricky says.
"Well that's smart," I huffed sarcastically,"But why do they call him Shadow Wolf?"
"He . . .well he hasn't shared his name with anyone other than to his close circle. So you can imagine the difficulty it was to make an alliance with them." Jame said.
"We have an alliance with that pack?" I rose an eyebrow as he looked through the rear view mirror, "That's great," I muttered.
"Tell him that and he will tear you apart limb by limb, he isn't someone you can mess around with, Thea. He is dead serious about everything, his pack is one of the largest and fears nothing in the world, with a few exceptions of course. Like the Royal Pack and the Knights Wolf Pack. "
"Do you know if any of those members are coming? "Hana asked to our surprise since she wore headphones and didn't seemed to be paying attention to the conversation .
"No, the Royal Pack wolfs are born to be mated to a member of that pack, and it is extremely rare for one of them to find a mate outside their pack considering its the size of a small state. That's the way the moon goddess made it. And as for the Knights, well they don't collaborate with any of the other packs, so doubt that anyone of them will come ."
"I just thought since they started this tradition centuries ago, the Queen would show, maybe bring a few pack managers." Hana said sadly.
Her brother chuckled, "Remember she is still dealing with the Great Fall and how the werewolf gene stopped being passed down, who knows what's going on in that pack. Plus with all the weird things that there is around that pack, I doubt she'd have time for this.."
"I still wished . . ."Hana trailed off.
"Either way, Queen Janeane is a good ruler and anyone who believes otherwise is just in for a beating," I say, "But still, if Shadow Whatever is coming, I feel horrible for whoever is his mate."
Then I hear Ricky mutter, "Tell that to the girl who faked being his mate . "
"What happened?" My curious ways rook over.
Ricky from the seat in front of mine, shrugged, "They say there was once this girl who got to know the Alpha, stalked him and learned his ways, soon she tricked the Alpha into falling for her, only he was one too many steps ahead of her. He tricked the impersonator and then killed her by throwing her off the cliff. He was so furious with her and the Moon Goddess, he went on a killing spree, killing most of the rogue in North America just for the rush."
A chill rolled through my spine as I prayed I wouldn't encounter that Alpha. I was always prone to fights, and it wouldn't end well if I picked the wrong fight. I sighed and I rolled my eyes,what were the odds of me tuning into him? I shake my of those thoughts and I sink down in my seat, plug in my headphones and hope this ball ends soon. We arrived at the Moon Pack territory, the only place where all packs are welcome and a temporary treaty is set among all the packs. The main house was enormous, almost as big as a chalet, 1,790 rooms with 800 bathrooms and a ballroom and so much more. It was impressive.
James parked and we walked into the lobby, "The men bedrooms are on the east wing, come on. "Caesar said .
"Be nice, Thea. See you at the ball tomorrow night!"James said as he and the guys left.
"I won't make any promises!" I shouted then faced the woman attending,"Hello, I'm from Silver Moon Pack, my room is under Thea W. " The lady smiled and nodded, turning back to the screen in front of her.
A guy next to me chuckled, "What?" I asked, not really flattered by his mockery .
"Nothing. . . It's just, I think I've heard about you, Williams right?" The brunette man says
I crossed my arms,"Depends who's asking."
"Well, sure, I'm Castor Shade, Shadow Moon Pack." He said,"And I've heard a great deal about you. You're the female Head Fighter, that's awesome. "
"Really? That's weird coming from a Shadow Pack member."
"Lets just say I don't totally agree with my pack's way."
I smiled at Castor, "Glad someone in that pack thinks that way."
"Ah, my Alpha isn't such a fan. Actually he's an ass sometimes."
I smirked, "Tell him that."
Castor winked,"That's a suicide mission."
"Here you go," the woman gave me the white access card to my room, then faces Castor, "Now what can I do for you, young man."
"See you at the ball?" Castor asked.
I shrugged, "Sure." I said and went to the elevators, I was tired and ready to sleep.
