The Gifted Teenage She-Wolf

Chapter 9: Dinner Party- Part 1

Chapter 9: 

PATRICIA’S POV

The Alphas of all three packs had come to an agreement after listening to their sons’ stories and heirs of grievances. It was decided that my pack would host a dinner party on Saturday. This would give everyone a chance to mingle and speak with each other about me and to me. Both Alpha Derrick and Alpha Zayden had insisted on alone time with me, and it was still being worked out how that would happen and who would act as my bodyguard.  My father had insisted on a bodyguard because he felt that I was too young to be left alone with a young boy. He was willing to agree to the alone time but wanted to protect my honor, of course.

They decided to use the library because the walls are soundproof. My brother, Patrick, would monitor us on CCTV with the sound off. My father would watch us outside of the window of the library that was closest to the door. This way, the Alpha’s privacy would be protected and so would my safety.

I wanted to buy a new dress for the party. I also wanted to get a few new workout outfits. I knew that the Alphas would all want to see my healing abilities in action, and I wanted to look good. I was nervous to have that many eyes in me. I thought it might help with my nerves if I was wearing new clothes, retail therapy.

Two of my fathers trained warriors along with Damon and his new girlfriend, Phoebe Mitchell, escorted me to the mall. I learned that the girl who had the locker next to his at schools’ name is Phoebe Mitchell. She is from the New Moon Pack. She was given permission from Alpha Zachary, Zayden’s Dad, to meet Damon and I at the pack border and get in the car with us. I was glad they had the Alpha’s permission to date. Alpha Zayden wanted to join us, but I did not want to upset Alpha Vin if he found out. I explained that Vin would most likely think I was on a date with him, and I did not want to get on the bad side of my future Alpha. Besides, I would see him in a few hours at the dinner party.

The men stood outside of the first two stores trying to look menacing while Phoebe went with me inside. They got some “looks” from mall security, but Damon lied and told them I was an internet celebrity, and they were my security team. Good thing they did not check.

After the third store and still no luck, Damon decided to grab Phoebe and ran into that famous lingerie store with her while giggling like a maniac. I let them have some alone time and went into the next store with my two warrior escorts. While I was searching through the dress racks, I noticed a boy who was watching me. He seemed to be a year or two older than me and I did not recognize him as someone who goes to my high school. This concerned me somewhat because the mall is in the neutral territory just north of where the high school and grade school sat. There is a werewolf pack to the north of us that we are not on good terms with. Every time they are asked about an alliance their Alpha refuses. Since that pack is also close enough to use this mall, it is not out of the question that he could be from the Red Moon Pack.

I went to try on a few dresses. When I came out of the dressing room, I noticed that the boy was still in the store. There were no other girls in the dressing room that he could have been waiting on and this was a women’s clothing store. Now I was worried. I mink-linked my two warrior escorts who quickly ran into the store. Once the boy saw them, he ran out. One of the warriors confirmed my suspicions by recognizing the boy. He told me his name is Benito Redmond. He is the son of Alpha Bertrand Redmond of Red Moon Pack. “The Red Moon Pack kids don’t go to our high school. So how did he recognize me?” I wondered to myself. “There must be someone feeding him information,” was the only idea I could think of.

I paid for the dresses I liked and headed towards the store that sells the brand name active wear. After picking out a few things I liked, I quickly paid and left the store. I mind-linked Damon to join me at the food court so we could get pack to the pack house ASAP. I did not want to risk a fight with any Red Moon pack members.

On the way home I explained to Damon about seeing Alpha Benito who was watching me. We decided it bet to let everyone know. I told my Father and Brother about him. Damon told Alpha Vincent and Alpha Vin. All five of them met up in the Alpha’s office to discuss the issue.

I went upstairs to my room to start getting ready. I brought Phoebe upstairs with me. I took a shower and then allowed Phoebe to use my shower as well. I texted Alpha Zayden to let him know that we still had Phoebe with us as we were in a hurry to get back to safety. He said it was no problem. She was free to either spend the night with me or ride back with him after the party. I let Phoebe wear one of the dresses I bought and decided she could join Damon and myself at dinner.  It was fortunate for her that we wore the same size in clothing and shoes.

My dress is a sequined teal blue v necked midi tank dress. I wore white gold jewelry and silver-colored heels. Phoebe is wearing my ivory with silver colored sequined midi v neck tank dress with white gold jewelry and ivory-colored heels. We both styled our hair in a half swept up and half down with ring curls design and light make up. My father told me not to wear anything “too revealing” so we looked classy, sexy but not slutty. Once we were ready, we sat on my bed and waited for Damon and my brother, Rick, to escort us downstairs to the party.

DAMON’S POV

I am glad that Patricia’s father sent two warriors with us because I knew I would get distracted by my new girlfriend. We had not really spent time together outside of school and school functions. When I saw that lingerie shop, I felt like a kid in a candy store. I could not help myself. I grabbed Phoebe and rushed her into the store. My mind was running wild with hormones and l**t. After about 15 minutes a saleswoman approached me and told me she thought I was a bit too young to be in there and asked me to wait outside. I asked her why she was not asking Phoebe to leave, and she said, “because she is old enough to wear a b*a and we sell bras.” Phoebe laughed uncomfortably and we both left the store together.

 I felt bad when I learned that Patricia was being watched and probably stalked by Benito Redmond. The more I thought about the angrier I became. My mind ran wild with thoughts of why he was following her, and I had a bad feeling.

 We ate a quick bite in the food court and then left quickly and headed straight home. I forgot we needed to drop Phoebe off, but she was not angry. She was happy to attend the party with Patricia and myself. I was looking forward to seeing her dressed up. I stood outside of Patricia’s room excitedly waiting to see her.

PHOEBE’S POV

I was excited to have my first real date with my new boyfriend, Damon. He is from the Dark Night Pack. I was so glad both my father and my Alpha allowed me to date him. I was told he is a well-respected young pack warrior who was taken in by The Grady family because he was orphaned during the last war with the Red Moon Pack. I was sad to hear about his parents’ deaths, but I knew The Grady’s were good loyal warriors and were highly respected.

Damon was the gifted she—wolf, Patricia’s, personal guard. I was also excited to meet her. She seemed very cool and down to earth. I was expecting a diva, but she was nothing of the sort. In fact, she even seemed a little bit shy. I could not believe it when she said I would be attending the Dinner Party with her. I loved getting dressed up. I am such a girly girl. She was very generous to let me borrow her stuff. I think we will become fast friends.
