Chapter 1 His Party
Chapter 1 His Party
Eileen POV
Tomorrow will be my first day at my college.
I’m excited but, a little bit nervous.
Being a member of the Blood Moon pack comes with its own set of expectations, i am a she-wolf and soon I'll be officially recognized as an omega after my 18th birthday with ascension. Most significantly, I will be at the age to have my mate soon. It's a title that holds significance in our family, and my parents couldn't be prouder.
Actually, I'm not the first person in my family who go to this college.Cause my stepbrother is in the same college, too.Yeah, as you can see,I’m the omega’s only daughter,and my mother divorced my father and then she married with my stepfather when i was only 6 years old, then i met my step brother----Alex, who is a year older than me, that’s the beginning of all story.
Unlike the most stereotypical relationship between the elder brother and his younger sister,there’s no love between us. Unfortunately, through our growth process of all the schools we’ve attended together, he has always been 'that guy' in every school.His reputation precedes him, and I can't escape the fact that he's the popular guy everyone talks about.As the man of the hour in our small school,my besties usually knew him without my introduction and hopeless thought he is super hot, they told me he’s got that unspoken rizz that i NEVER get it.
I don't understand, well,he does have a six feet and three inches tall,dark and tousled hair,baby blue eyes,super strength muscles that showcases his athleticism,chiseled face,effortless confidence, good taste in clothes, some air of mystery,one of the best ice hockey players in school team,besides these,i can't image what make him so popular.
Compared with his story,my school life has been eclipsed.
During my high school life,i usually be known as Alex’s step sister, they thought i’ m so lucky to live with Alex in our pack house that could easily got his attention and bask in the reflected glory of his popularity. They asked me thousands questions of Alex and felt disappointed for my answers of i don’t know.Most of the time, those gossips don’t take the initiative to find trouble, but there are always exceptions. I still remember that day a blonde girl came to me in the school corridor with no makeup makeup look and strong freesia perfume scent that can make me lost my sense of smell , her long eyelashes feel like they could stab me to death,“Hi i am Renee,you’re Eileen right,Alex’s sister? I heard about you, you’re so lucky you know?Enjoy!”The words hung in the air, accompanied by the click of long, stabbing eyelashes, she extended a greeting that felt more like a proclamation,then,she leave.
And leave me in awkward.
Renee Welch, one of the most popular girls in our school,Signature blonde hair with all pink Lululemon with 0 size that tight enough to show off her graceful figure,Barbie pink lipstick makes her lips so plump that nearly can blow bubbles.As she glided through the hallways, a glazed strawberry donut in human form, Renee left an impression that lingered long after she had passed. The most importantly, she also has a cute sister who can share cosmetic ,talk school drama,do manicures,take lovely photos together, i never expect my step brother Alex do same things with me, in fact we rarely talk in school or house, but i still need1 to be known as “Alex’s sister”in school with useless attention and even be ignored my real name Eileen, she called this is lucky?Thank god,does she want this lucky for her?
That's not even the worst.
Our high school have an Annual Blood Werewolf Ball to choose this year's prom wolf queen and prom wolf king,and Alex has been successfully elected as the prom wolf king two times.Unfortunately,the other jealous candidates trying to drag him out of that shiny position.So,they started to see me as a breakthrough point.
During that time, I experienced a painful life in school.Rumors and whispers circulated with a relentless fervor, weaving a web of deceit around me. They tried to use the faint connection between Alex and me to destroy his throne of kingship, but in reality, the impact was minimal.
I still remember that time these assholes make fun of my personality and my appearance in bathroom,when i went out, i saw the panic on their faces.They scattered away like a group of dark mice.But the rumors still spread, no one response of my pain.
In fact, I was the only one who suffered harm.
So i cursed some of them,i hope they disappear with rumors. I can’t believe but it does work, i haven’t seen them in school after a few weeks...
“I love you and i need you....”
The sudden loud noise of music jolted me out of my thoughts.
Is Dilemma by Nelly/Kelly Rowland. I don’t know who started music, maybe Alex?Anyway, he will never know this is my favorite song since my childhood.
Glancing at the clock, I realized it was already 11:35 PM, and the source of the commotion became apparent—the raucous party downstairs at the pack house had just begun.
It was, unsurprisingly, my popular stepbrother Alex's party.
My parents, exactly, are my mother and my step-father are both on a business trip now. My mother felt sorry to miss my first day to college, but my stepfather hasn’t said anything yet. They are also gonna miss their sweetheart, lovely son---- Alex’s Carnival night before the new semester of college.
I have to say,he didn't invite me or let me know there would be a big surprise he had planned that could make me stay up all night and let me go to college with heavy, fashionable dark circles on my first day.
The pulsating beat of the music from downstairs seeped through the walls, underscoring the feeling of isolation that had become all too familiar.Alex, doesn't care about me, he treats me like I'm invisible at the time.I’ve got used to that in past years, but now, an unnamed anger wells up inside me. I’m wondering to call my mum and let her know about this crazy party. I know my mum and stepfather will definitely be angry because they never allow us to have parties at our pack house. It’s a tradition.I don’t why but i always obey it. So, it's time for those who don't follow the rules to be punished, I thought evilly.
I took a deep breath and retrieved my phone, contemplating whether to dial my mother's number.
Call, or not?
It is hard to make a choice.
The decision loomed over me, a heavy burden on my shoulders.
If I called mum, Alex maybe will be punished and stop his party, but he probably knew it was me. How will he think of me? By the way, what will his friends he invited to this party think of me? I bet most of his friends he invited today are his college classmates, They are probably my future classmates in college,so, how will they think of me?Alex’s annoying step-sister?Mummy girl?I feel unsettled with these labels.
I don't want history to repeat itself, binding my college life to Alex's unfortunate circumstances.
“Hey,anyone else?Open the door!”
“Knock,knock”
The noisy sound once again interrupted my thoughts, but this time, the source of the knocking sound was evidently not downstairs, but right outside the door.
What the hell!
Why is someone knocking on my door now?
The voice is not familiar.
It can’t be Alex.
Who could it be?
“Knock Knock!”
The knocking sound became louder and louder.
The knocking sound became louder and more insistent. My wolf instincts kicked in, and a surge of adrenaline rushed through me. The atmosphere in the room shifted, and a sense of urgency filled the air.
I can even feel my sandy-colored fur wrapped around me, and my teeth are sharpening.Okay that’s not true and just in my imagination, cause my first shift should happen on my birthday but i still can’t wait.
Damn,I hastily jumped out of bed, my heart pounding in my chest. I quickly rummaged through the drawer to find my taser and prepared for a thorough defense. If the person outside the door was a potential threat, I would not hesitate. As a member of the Blood Moon pack, a poised she-wolf, I had the confidence to act decisively.
A she-wolf can do anything, I remind myself.
“Bang!”
I just opened my door and raised my taser.
I bet I looked weird at that moment.
