Cursed

She entered the restroom and sighed, looking at herself through the mirror. If not for the man, Celine knew her sister wouldn't let her out of sight. If possible, she would follow her to the restroom.
"Gosh! This gown is so tight." She tried to free herself from the tight gown, but nothing seemed to make it comfortable. "This is all for you, Powers."
She finally gave up on her dress and went back to the hall, but as she entered she noticed that the people's attention had been diverted to a scene.
She moved closer to see what was going on.
"How dare you! Do you know how much my gown cost, you filthy omega?" She heard a woman scream at a maid, who was crying with her hand placed on her cheek. She knew the maid must have been slapped because of a mistake she had made.
One of the reasons she hated parties held by werewolves or witches. Always filled with different people trying to show off their riches and making the poor feel inferior.
Looking at the woman's clothes, there was no noticeable stain on it. It probably just splashed on her dress. She couldn’t sit back and watch. She wasn't that kind of person, but before she could say a word, she heard. "That's enough."
She looked at where the voice came from to see a young, tall, handsome man walking towards them, but not his beauty left her mouth wide open. Something else about him made her confused and shocked. "What the hell!" She muttered as the guy walked closer.
He walked past her, and stood in front of the woman, who also looked surprised. "How much is the gown?"
The woman looked like she tried to catch her breath for a while. "The gown costs a fortune, Beta, but that's not even the problem. People like her need to be taught a lesson."
He sighed as if he were trying to keep his cool. "How much is it?"
"One thousand dollars." She replied weakly, only for the man to bring a wallet out of his pocket. He removed some money and gave it to her without counting it, but he was sure it was more than a thousand dollars. "Have it."
The woman was shocked and embarrassed. She didn't want to collect it, but rejecting it also meant trouble.
She quickly collected it and bowed her head slightly before moving to walk away with her husband, who had also been watching the scene, but before they could take two steps forward, they heard, "Don't you think you're missing something?"
The woman looked back at him, confused by what he was saying. "The slap. You've gotten your money, so it's only right she returned the slap."
The woman scoffed. "What? That omega will slap me?"
Everyone in the room was shocked. Watching the drama unfold was one thing, but the omega slapping the woman, who is also of high status in the pack, was more shocking.
Celine couldn't believe them. "Why can't she slap her back? These people are so full of themselves." She thought.
The maid shook her head in disapproval, and he obeyed. "It looks like she's not ready to waste her energy on you. But be ready to be sued for assault." He said, looking at the woman.
He grabbed the maid's hand and they both walked out of the room.
Celine was as shocked as every other person in the room, but she hurried out of the room. She still needed to confirm what she saw.
She stood in front of the house and watched as the sent the maid off in a car and still watched her leave before he finally turned back to meet her gaze.
They locked eyes for a long time. She walked closer to him. "How is this possible?" She muttered, which didn't go unheard by the guy.
It also seemed like the guy got out of his daze, he walked past her to leave. He didn't understand why the lady was staring at him that way, and staying there for another minute was something he didn't want. He walked towards his car, which was close to where she was when he heard. "Wait."
He looked back at her.
Celine also walked towards him, holding her gown to make her walk well. "You... What are you?" She asked. The guy also looked at her, confused.
"You're cursed! How can I see you are cursed? Is this even possible?" She asked, followed by a chuckle.
"Excuse me, miss. Do we know each other?" He asked back.
He didn't understand why the girl was behaving that way. Even if she liked him. Was that another method of approaching people?
He opened the door to enter when she suddenly came closer and held his hand, but that wasn't what surprised him, she brought her face closer to his and sniffed his neck.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" He screamed, but Celine didn't look like she cared about that.
"I can't sense it... your wolf. You don't have a wolf." She felt something strange in her as her hand touched his.
Immediately, his body tensed. "What... did you say?" He asked, his voice low as he stared at her. She looked like she was pleased with something.
"It's true, right? You don't have a wolf." She asked with a smile.
She was happy, thinking her powers had finally come, but she wanted to confirm she saw right. Unfortunately, the guy standing in front of her didn't say a word. He yanked her hand off and entered his car hurriedly.
"Hey, wait. At least confirm if I was right." She screamed, banging the glass and trying to open the door, but he just drove away, not caring that she almost fell.
"What the hell is wrong with him?" She screamed as she tried to catch her breath. She watched the car as it left the compound.
Celine! She frown when she heard a familiar voice behind her.
Her sister ran towards her, but was left stunned. "I can't believe you. Look at how dirty and rough you turned the gown, Celine." Pat said, hitting her back. "Do you know how much this cost?"
Celine sighed before running her hand through her hair. "I'll pay you back, okay?"
"Pay me back? How? When you don't even have a job again?!" Pat screamed. The fact that her sister left her job for a stupid reason always makes her worry.
"You talk like I quit my job. I only asked for a leave." Celine said back to her before leaving her sight to get into the car. She wasn't interested in arguing with her.
Pat also composed herself, looking around her to see if anyone saw them arguing. "Celine." She called out before following her sister.
