I tried to snag a champagne flute from a waiter as he glided past me but he skilfully dodged my hand and moved the tray out of my reach. Damn Americans. What did I have to do to get some booze here? Yes, I do realise that I'm 18 and in New York the age limit was 21, but I was British and 18 was more than old enough!

I humphed and retreated back to the food table at the back of the hall. If in doubt, resort to food. Everyone else who was supposed to be there was starting to be seated in chairs facing the opposite direction and the stage so I was safe from Bastard Supreme, Alpha Thomas. He was the alpha of the Gallo Pack, and my legal guardian. He was somewhere in the crowd, I didn't care where. He'd sent me up earlier with virtually nothing to eat. Hello! Growing Werewolf here! I needed more than a ration of bread and butter!

So, stomach shouting to the world the song of its people, I waited until the festivities were under way and snuck down here to get some grub. And what mighty fine grub it was! Nothing that I couldn't make better, but I admired their effort.

I looked down at the food (all of which I was about to know very intimately) and a round of applause started behind me. I hadn't even started eating, why were they applauding me? I looked around to see that really they were applauding a lean man as he stepped up to the microphone. Technically we didn't need it, but it was for the non-super-hearing crowds people. I grabbed food in both my hands (caterers glaring at me) and retreated next to an open pair of French doors to eat my haul. It also was also darker here. I didn't want Thomas to see me. That would be a disaster.

The skinny Were started thanking all the packs for joining them for the three day long Gala. It was the last night so that's why there was this formal party. The men were in tuxedoes and women in dresses. I felt ratty in my jeans and jumper but right now I couldn't really give a shit. I had my food and that's all that mattered.

The whole Gala was devoted to Packs making new alliances, new Packs integrating themselves with the Were community and Packs sorting issues with the court. All Pack Alphas came if they could with a small entourage, leaving usually their Beta's to take care of the Pack. The Gala was held every two years at a different location each time, and this one was in the outskirts of New York City, USA.

Now, I had wanted to go and see the sights, but nooo, bastard supreme won't let me. I don't even know why he bothered to bring me. I was virtually the lowest in the pack, no matter how he was my legal guardian since I was 11. You know what; it was because of my quirk. You see, I'm only half Werewolf. My dad was one but my mother was a Sorceress, and because of her Magik I was one too.

The Sorcerer system is very complicated, at least to outsiders. There are two types of sorcerers. 'Actual' sorcerers who used precious stones charged with their energy, and Mages who used their surroundings and their affinity (either Earth, Water, Air, Fire or Spirit) to feed them power. My mother was a sorceress and I was an Earth Mage. Or half one, anyway. I had no idea how to control any of it because mummy dearest decided to bail on me and my dad when I was eight. She said that she couldn't take living in a band of animals anymore.

It was just my dad and me from then on. He raised me as best he could and he had a good reputation in the pack as an enforcer so he could protect me from the less savory characters in the Pack. Unfortunately, he died when I was eleven while he was on duty. A bunch of rouges took him and another enforcer down. I never thought it was an accident. I think that Alpha Thomas had something to do with it because he had always had an interest in me, especially my 'quirk'. From then on I'd lived in the Alpha house.
