Chương 8: The girl at the balcony.

Elpis's POV

I didn't want to come for this wedding in the first place but I had no choice. I hate the crescent pack; they are lairs and manipulators. I told everyone but they didn't believe me. Eliot knew I hated him so him sending a special invitation didn't come as a shock to me. he probably wants to rub it in at he has a mate now and that to with another pack. I had to attend. If not, it will be a sign of rebellion and might cause a war among wolves. Even though I know I will win, after all I am in strongest alpha, I didn't want to cause an unnecessary fight. It wouldn't just be worth my time.

I knew the party would be luxurious, but Eliot took it too far. I didn't really care though; it is not my wedding neither is it my money. I saw the order of event and I couldn't help but laugh. A four-day event? Anyways I could care less. One of the maids escorted I and my right-hand man to our room. It is not really normal for an alpha to share his room with someone but this is Eliot's way of degrading me. I didn't really care I took it. At least, the room wasn't shabby.

"Alpha, I could leave if you want me to." My right-hand man, Drake said.

"No, please stay. I am ok." I said to him while looking round the room. I had a bath and freshened up for the opening dinner. I didn't really want to go for it but I had no choice.

It is obviously big and luxurious like I thought it would be. There were a lot of drinks and food for everyone present. I think this was more intimate. He wanted only high class of the pack to attend the dinner. According to him, he wanted all of us to share in his happiness.

After the toast and we were all done eating, he decided to pick on me.

"So, alpha Elpis, I didn't see you come with anyone. Don't you have a mate?" he asked.

Everyone looked at me expecting an answer but I didn't want to give any. As the strongest alpha, it was quite normal for everyone to question my inability to find a mate. But unlike other alphas that just go around and pick anyone, I am looking for the right one. My mother always told me about this magical moment of finding a mate and how good it feels and I want to experience that.

"If you have none, you can take from our pack before leaving. We have so many beautiful and strong she wolves." He said to me with a little smirk and sipped on his wine.

"No, thank you. I am fine, and we both know that finding a mate is very easy for me." I said to him and looked at his bride. He frowned at me. I think he got it.

With the kind of influence I have, any woman would feel lucky for me to choose them; even Eliot's so-called bride, if I give her the chance, she would leave him and come to me immediately.

After the dinner, it was time for the ball, I stayed by the side for a while and sipped on some champagne. I must commend Eliot though; he does know how to throw a good party. The ball was massive and filled with a lot of pomp and splendour. There was a lot of drinks and food that was enough to fed a community. No wonder their pack member lack food. It was a masquerade ball so everyone had to cover their faces.

I stayed for a while and got bored so I went upstairs. Drake tried to stop me but I insisted. I really didn't want to stay; not because I was jealous or something but because they are lairs and killers and I will prove it.

As I was going up stairs to my room, I saw a lady in black walk to the balcony. She looked distressed and disturbed. She didn't even see me even though I was right in front of her I don't know what pushed me but I went to talk to her.

"My Lady, are you okay?" I asked her.

She turned around and my god, I could have sworn I felt something.
