Bab 2: Chpater 2
Shireen got off first, stepping away from the horse carriage and waiting for her sister and mother to get off. At the same time, her father, who had come behind them, drew closer to her mother. Shireen had to be more robust when she entered the party, which might have made her uncomfortable.
Everyone will view her as a pest in her own family. She is different, doesn't fit in, and some say she is not the biological child of her parents. And it stuck in Shireen's head, and the rumors might have been confirmed.
"The sky is so beautiful, and I hope everything goes well tonight. Moon Goddess, I beg you to grant me more strength tonight."
"Come on, don't daydream over there, Shireen!" Her father's voice brought Shireen back to reality, from a long daydream if she could escape all the uncomfortable stares in her realm.
If she had wings, it would be amazing what the universe could see from the sky. Shireen walked by her mother's side while Grace was between her father and mother. Shireen was the star of her family, and she was just a side character who didn't need to stand out.
....
Inside the party, everyone was talking to each other. They were gathered with the circle of friends they have, from business, young princesses, and young masters. All gathered. But Shireen wanted to go home soon, but the main event hadn't started yet. Even her sister had disappeared from the crowd of friends. Everyone who used to be close to Shireen had now turned to fawn over cheerful, approachable Grace.
Anton Dawson is a former Beta in this big wolf territory. That is her father. And Teresa Dawson is a close friend of Alpha Walker's powerful wife, their two families being close. Those in power, through business and power, gathered around her parents. But no one dared to approach her, except for one person.
"I knew you would be here again, so it wouldn't be hard to find you if they realized." The voice made Shireen glance indifferently.
Luis Walker is the younger brother of tonight's alpha candidate, he doesn't stand out but has the same demeanor as Grace, and that is something Shireen hates even though he keeps getting closer to her. Shireen would go as far as to ignore and dodge, but before leaving, she had to restrain herself and was already tired.
"..."
Luis drew closer to Shireen, looking up at the night sky, where it was both bright and dark. Looked from the right side of Shireen's upturned face, her pale skin charming, her calm face looking very deep. But no one understands how her calm face and graceful movements hide her true feelings.
"You're so beautiful tonight. It fits perfectly into a beautiful night like today," Luis spoke again when he realized he couldn't get Shireen's attention. "You know, gatherings of high society like this big party make me dizzy. Moreover, Jeremy kept running away with his secret lover, even though it was on a full moon event like today. The mate will be found among the visitors, really a headache."
Luis shook his head while holding his forehead. Jeremy's behavior is blinded by the love of a woman who has lost her mate. That's why wolves who lose their mate due to death are often ostracized. He glanced at Shireen, and the woman didn't give any opinion.
But Luis continued his speech. "You know if it continues like this. So I wonder, when will I be able to meet my mate? It feels like leaving the house that continues to glorify Jeremy's name at home, even though his behavior does not describe the figure of a good alpha. He's a playboy, and that will hurt her mate later."
Luis looked up at the night sky as he turned his head towards Shireen. The woman had a look of surprise in her eyes, and there was hope from the deep darkness in her eyes. Luis saw her eyelids quiver, and he gasped as their gazes met.
DEG... DEG...
His heart was pounding so loudly that Luis was afraid that Shireen would hear his voice, but what made her react was that Luis was surprised.
"Shireen… do you want to run away with your mate?"
The night breeze blew just as Luis asked, a very thick and calming fragrance wafting through. His eyes were wide open, and his mouth was shaking violently. This scent is evidence and a clue if he finds his mate. However, this scent was right before him, now escaping into the Ballroom, people scattered about.
I heard the sound of the main event, but Luis was only looking for Shireen.
"Shireen!! Where are you!! Shireen!!!"
There was no answer, and everyone stared up the stairs in the middle of his parent's castle. There, his brother came down with a beautiful female figure, and she was shining together with Jeremy, who came down so happy and happy while carrying his lover's hand.
"Damn it!!"
The scent of his mate follows Shireen's disappearance in a wave of his clan members who flock to see the new alpha hook up a woman they believe to be his mate. Luis knew best who the woman was and the relationship between the two.
"Ah!! What the hell is that?!"
"Why that girl?"
"Where did that crazy woman have the courage!!"
"What a shame. No one deserves to be friends with her."
"This is messed up. How will the Beta take care of her child."
"Too bad, madam Teresa and Beta Anton will endure the embarrassment of it!"
Luis saw at the top of the stairs, right in the middle of the Ballroom. Shireen pulled Grace's hair which was right beside Jeremy. The man stupidly pushed Shireen hard, and he didn't see Shireen as a weak woman and immediately hugged Grace, who was crying.
Soon Teresa and Anton approached, which was witnessed by almost everyone at Jeremy's appointment party.
"What are you doing, Shireen?!!!" Jeremy screamed when he saw the red streaks on Grace's cheeks. "She is your sister, and this is a real shame!!"
PLAK!
Teresa blushingly slapped her daughter with painful emotion in front of everyone in a kneeling position on the floor after being knocked down by the push of an alpha wolf like Jeremy. She looked up with a nostalgic chuckle, staring at her mother, who gasped at the sight of her daughter's blank stare for the first time.
"Mom was never by my side, even to the end."
