Reborn Mate To The Lycan King

CHAPTER 2

Reborn

“ Imogen, aren't you going to dress up? It's 7 PM already!" Harper's voice sneaked into my ears. She asked amazingly as she stared at me.

“Hmmm… I am not sure if I will be coming, Harp” I sighed softly and quickly pointed out before I returned my face to the book I was reading.

Harper's face dampened obviously over my response. She shot me a fleeting glimpse of my bed for seconds to know if I truly meant what I said. My mean look and the way I snubbed her attention and focused on my book told her I was not joking when I said I was not sure.

“ Why are you not sure? Why are you always like this for crying out loud? We've waited for so long for this day, and now you are telling me you are not sure" Harper asked ostentatiously at the top of her voice as she was fixing her lace into her designed shoes.

I had already made up my mind that I would not be going to the end of the year's party. There was no reason for my decision, but I did not just feel like attending the number one and the most anticipated ceremony of all time in the country.

Harper and I had talked about this night several times in our leisure time back then in high school. We talked about how we would make the best dress of our lives for that night. Of course, we waited for a good eighteen years before we could have the chance to go to the party as she had pointed out. No She-wolf was allowed into the party except she was eighteen years and above. And we were in our ripe eighteenth years so we were privileged to attend our first party, but I was right there saying I was not sure about attending.

“ You don't just lay on that freaking bed as if I am nothing to you" Harper snatched the book away from me and spoke.

“ Give me back my book else…." I threatened playfully.

“ What do you want to do, Imogen?" Harper asked with a lascivious smirk.

I rolled my eyes lazily on the bed. I rested my head on my pillow, not minding Harper. She pulled my legs, making me slide off the bed to the ground playfully. She then twisted my legs to pain and said," Are you willing to go now or lose these lissome legs of yours?"

I groaned in pain before I answered incoherently," Okay, fine, I will go"

She released my legs and said," Better". I stood up and gave her a slight knock on her head. She rolled her eyes. “ All I know is that you are going," she added.

I was not happy to go to the party, but Harper seemed not happy to go alone without me. She always needed someone to give her shots of pictures, which she knew I was best at. Aside from that, she derives joy whenever I am by her side. I changed my mind and was sure about the party. It was just once a year, so I thought of going and whiling away time.

She had worn her strapless mini-black dress. Her long, curly, jet-black hair was let down for the first time in a long while instead of the usual ponytail bun. She made use of contact lenses in place of the usual glasses which she always wore for medical reasons. And her shoe colour matched her handbag.

I studied her dress for a few minutes and discovered I didn't have such a revealing dress for a party like hers. She was used to gorgeous and slightly revealing clothes. The way I stared at her dress told her what was running through my mind already.

“ Would you mind if I get you some of my clothes?" Harper asked frantically.

“ Okay, let me check it out," I hurried to say.

She then brought out a mini skirt that had a little lining from her bag and a blue jumper. She wore me the dress and it was good. It was just that I was not perfect with such clothes.

We applied perfume on our bodies and shot the last glimpses Into the mirror before we trooped out of the room to the party.

The party was enlivening, as just claims. All the performances I used to hear about from my elders were live before me. And I was so happy to feel the vibes at the Party. Numerous competitions were conducted, and numerous sublime ladies wore their best dresses to the party. It was a party where a lady could find her mate or hook up with prominent men present at the party, so everyone looked adorable.

Lycan Kings, Betas, and prominent members of packs across the country were in attendance. They were seated in a chair where first-class wine and jolly items were served. Some came with their wives, while some didn't.

I was seated on a bronze chair alone while I watched Harper dance out her strength with a strange guy at the party. She was more used to partying than me and was always heightened in anxiety whenever I saw countless faces around me.

A man in a black suit walked up to Harper as she was twerking. He slammed her ass lustfully and squeezed her succulent breasts with his hands. Harper turned around and smiled at him joyfully. They hugged so tightly as if they had known each other for years. I was not surprised because I knew the kind of friend I had. She was promiscuous, someone who lost her virginity at age ten. I was damn sure Harper had seen this man before this time.

They laughed at each other as they held each other's arms out of the dance floor to where I was seated. She creased her eyebrows as she was nearer to my seat, a sign of me to bear with her anything that was about to happen. She had seen my wrinkled nose; she knew I didn't give a crap about anybody, irrespective of their position. I might end up embarrassing her over this man she was bringing to where I was seated if she didn't make that gesture.

“ Beta Alexander, meet my good friend, Imogen"

“ Imogen meet my good friend, Beta Alexander"

Harper said with a smile as she signalled her hands at us. Beta Alexander walked up to me and offered me his hand. I took it and looked Into his eyes. He stood in front of me for some minutes before he greeted me," Good evening, pretty girl"

“ Evening, sir" I responded as I looked into his eyes for the second time.

“ You are so beautiful, Imogen" Beta Alexander said as he pulled the chair in front of me and sat.

“ Thanks, a lot," I said and took my face away from him.

“ Yes, Imogen, can we go out for a little wine?" Harper patted my shoulder and inquired.

“ You know I don't drink, Harper!" I said barely a whisper to her ears while Beta Alexander eavesdropped.

“ It's not alcohol, Imogen. It's a normal wine. I am sure you would love it" Beta Alexander cut in. His face rolled in jest. I knew he had finally known I was a newbie in anything about the party.

I looked at Harper's face embarrassingly and quickly spoke," Okay, let's go". Beta Alexander turned his face away from me as he was laughing at me in jest.

I neglected his jest and stood up from my seat. Harper held my hands and expertly guided me through the crowds, while Beta Alexander followed. She led me to an open-air bar that was filled with so many people that it was easy to get lost in the crowd.

I glamorously cheered at the crowds in the open-air bar as I followed Harper behind. I looked around strangely enough for anybody to know that I was a newbie.

Then I was taken to a beer table that could take four people. I sat down on it and glared at the bottles of tequila in front of me. I taught Harper and Beta Alexander said it was just a normal wine. Are they taking my anti-social life for stupidity? If I don't know anything about wine I should know about tequila liquor. Of course, I attended some colleges before I dropped out.

“ I think you said it was a normal wine?" I asked as a little anger flushed through my face.

“ Come on, baby girl, you won't take much, just take sips, and that's all," Harper said, staring at me gleefully.

I didn't understand why I trusted Harper so much. I didn't believe she could betray me, so I didn't bother to give a second thought to her words. I had been living with Harper since I was ten years old, and she had never betrayed me even in the hard times, so I didn't think she had a plan B over this. Maybe she just wanted me to feel included and nothing more.

She served me a cup of tequila, and we all drank as music blasted through the bar room. It began with a sip, then slowly it grew into shots of tequila till I began to feel dizziness around me.
