Me and Kat entered the castle. All around we saw man and woman in their beautiful dress and tuxedo. It looks like the Ball already started. Classical ballroom music played in the background. Everyone is either dancing or talking in groups.
Kat said, "Seems we missed the entrance ceremony " while pouting.
"Well if you was not so picky on the dress and makeup to put on,then we will be here on time."
"I just want to look perfect when meeting my mate."
"What should we do now?"
"Is it obvious. We dance. Look there is a group already dancing. We should jump in. Oh do you remember the traditional dance we did as kids."
She looked at me smiling.
"Of course I remember. You had me as your partner everytime to learn it."
"Well let's get on the dance floor."
The traditional dance consists of 2 parts. The first part is like in the movies they dance in a shape of a ring. The dance with each partner last about a minute. Then you switch with a different partner; well the guy go to the next girl. This last until you match up with your mate. The last part of the dance is with the new mate couple. They will leave the ring and head into the center of the ring to continue dancing with one another.
Kat pulled me towards the dance floor. As we walked towards the dance floor; I feel every pair of eyes on us. Maybe because Kat's dress is a bright yellow or the fact we are the only ones wearing a mask. Either way we are drawing a lot of attention.
We jumped in the dance. I was really nervous about accidentally step on someone's feet. Or the fact I only know the guy's version instead of girl's version. After 2 guys later I got the hang of it more or less. I realize his scent is getting closer and closer making me nervous.
Then my next partner came up to me said,
"M'lady, may I have this dance."
He bowed towards me like a gentleman. It made me smile. My other partners didn't say one word to me. They had that look like I can't wait to the dance is over. I guess they realize I am a half breed. Here I thought with so many others my true scent will be hidden.
I put my hand in his. We danced. I realized it's him. He is the one. His scent is there but his smell it's mixed.
I looked into his eyes. I didn't feel anything. From the story about how my Dad met Mom, I expected to feel something. He said that when he looked into her eyes he felt the connection to her calling to him.
When I looked into his eyes again to make sure I don't feel anything. Maybe it takes time.
"Sooooo."
I looked up at him.
" How come I never saw you around here before? You smell like pack?"
My heart skipped a beat nervous that he picked up my true scent and would treat me how the other guys did.
"I live far away from the main pack."
He nod his head. He understood what she meant.
"I am glad I met you. What is your name beautiful?"
I smiled.
"My name is Anna, and yours?"
He smiled back at me.
"My name is De.."
A voice echoed through the hall.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! I have an announcement to make about my younger son."
The music stopped and everyone stop dancing and looked towards the stage. Once everything quiet down. He looked to side of the stage.
"My son. Come up here for the announcement. "
He smiled. His son came up the stairs of the stage. He walked towards his father and stood beside him. He looked towards the crowd like he is searching for someone. His eyes landed on me.
Thump! Thump!
I know those eyes.
"Grey eyed monster?"
He smirked at me like he won. He said,
"I found you."
