Preparing for the ball:
I sit on my bed and wonder if I can come up with a plan to somehow sneak out of going to the ball tonight. I just do not feel like going through the humiliation of the ‘wolfless wonder’ in front of a bunch of packs.Dealing with my pack was hell, I can only imagine dealing with many others. I sigh, there's no way I could get out of this ball. I go to my closet and pick out a long navy blue laced gown that has a slit on the side, it goes well with my slightly tanned skin. I put it on and looked in the mirror, I was pretty toned and had a beautiful hourglass shape, I wasn't completely insecure but I knew I had my flaws. I look at my jet black hair, it falls to my mid back and has beautiful waves, except for this one section which I was born with, it had multiple colors to it; purple, pink, silver , and blue. My only unique feature , well unless you include my ocean blue eyes. I put it in a half updo, letting my one unique strand stand out and caress my face and gave myself natural face makeup, nothing too drastic. I doubt I will find my mate tonight , and even if I do I am sure once they realize who I am I will be rejected. I put on a pair of silver heels , walk down the stairs of my home, walk out with my mother and father and head to the ball.
Alpha Jasper's POV:
“Hey dude, you ready? I know you don't feel like going but you might have some luck finding your mate bro.” my Beta Sean says as he's knocking on my office door.
I sigh in frustration , I run a tight ship with my pack and I just don't have the time for these silly meetings and balls. I'm the ruthless Alpha as all the other packs like to call me because I go to the extreme with all my pack members , I have to prepare them for everything necessary, they are my responsibility and in my eyes my family. My pack members think of me otherwise, they respect the hard work and pushing but know I care deeply about every single one of them and I respect every single one of them as well. As much as I would love to have a mate, I need to have a hardcore Luna just as hardcore as me. She needs to be strong and have will power and be able to lead as if I didn't exist. If she cannot live up to the expectations I will have to reject her in order for me to keep my pack running the way it does. No foolishness. I have to think about the safety of my pack.
“Yeah , I will be right down. This is ridiculous I have so much to do and make sure the training is up to par and I have to go to this dumb meeting and even dumber ball. “ I complain.
“Aww man, It's just today and we will be back tomorrow and you can continue your work big boss. s**t, you need to take a breather for once, you don't ever stop. “ says Sean, chuckling to himself.
“Hey I breathe, when I close my damn eyes and sleep. “ We laugh together as I slap him on the shoulder. We grab our bags and head to the car, I start waving goodbye to everyone.I stop and chat with Gamma Lucas for a few minutes, going over what I expect to be happening while I am gone and remind him I will be back tomorrow evening. He bows and I continue to the passenger side of the car. Sean gets in the driver seat and begins to drive. It takes two hours to get to the Blue Rose pack. What kind of name is Blue Rose I think to myself. I lean back in my seat and close my eyes and just drift off to sleep with the music. This should be an interesting night. A small part of me hopes to find my mate, I am 20 years old and ready to settle and live my life. If I do find her, I hope she knows what she signed up for, if not , well I know what I must do.
