Unexpected

chapter 4

The smile glistened on my face as I tried to think the way my character would. I was supposed to be a polite and gentle girl from the bright moon pack, I was shy, hence always kept my head down, the gown I wore was borrowed and the reason I was here was to be a part of the blood moon pack, and get a job to support myself, preferably as a helper for the princess, that's the reason I was going to meet the Alphas family, to ask to be a part of the pack, and for the job. I had to act as if I was one of the girls at the gate, happy, giddy and excited to find my mate, hopeful for a new life.

My expressions were amazingly exact, I had always been good at covering my face, at acting.

I took a deep breath and climbed up the stairs as my purple gown dragged along, my mask was up and my body language was gentle, I smiled at the people passing me, holding my gown up to walk properly.

In all honesty at that time, for once in my life I felt like...like a princess, I know I had been the one mocking the girls earlier, but at that time, people stared at me as if I had come straight out of a painting, I couldn't help but enjoy the sudden rush of confidence. All my life I had never been the one to be appreciated for my looks, my swordsmanship? My bravery? Yes, but never my looks. I was the girl who roamed around in pants or shorts, shirts mostly too loose, ready to kill. I felt quite unlike myself as I found myself smiling gently at the people who passed by.

I walked through majestic gates as my face showed the awe I felt, stepping down the white stairs, slowly one at a time. I looked down trying to avoid the gazes of the people who stared at me, I took a deep breath and drew a strand of my hair behind my ear and looked up.

Many people looked at me, each of them differently- some girls looked at me jealously, probably feeling threatened by my looks while others looked at me in amazement and whispered, and elder ladies looked at my gentle, innocent and welcoming posture with an approving look while some looked at me with lovestruck, some I think sad to find out that I wasn't their mate, but I wasn't taken yet, so started to approach me, probably going to ask for a dance.

But the thing that was keeping me from enjoying this moment was my stupid wolf.

'OH, where is he, is he, our precious Romeo' She chanted in my head as I blocked her again for the millionth time, can't she just shut up or concentrate on our current assignment like I am?

'No I can't!' She chirped up again in her annoying voice 'I can't contain my excitement! I mean knowing he, our mate, is here, in this very room, Oh moon goddess! I can't contain my excitement' She said giddily "clearly" I mumbled back in a low voice strolling ahead keeping my expressions happy and gentle, which my stupid wolf's rambling was making very hard to do.

"What do think he'll look like? Would he be hot? Would he be ugly? You know what, it doesn't matter what he looks like, I'm pretty sure he'll love and treasure us, that's all I ask for, and I'm sure I'll love him a lot" She said dreamily.

'And to think you haven't even met him I thought sarcastically

'Ya and so haven't you, what are the chances that maybe you'll also like him?'

'the chances are 0% I'll tell you, cause we won't even meet him'

'Why would you say that, oh look there are some cute guys there, we should go and greet them, maybe he's one of them!' She said excitedly taking immediate and sudden control over my body and taking a step towards them but that's all she could do till I took control again.

'You b*tch' I shouted at her and cut her link. I swear there was nothing that I wanted more than to NOT meet my mate, I was trying my best to make sure not to find him. I smiled back at those guys before walking in the opposite direction.
