Seeing all those people staring at me flushed me with a wave of utter embarrassment, in the form of pink tinted cheeks.

Girls of all different Pack ethnicities were sitting on chairs in the main foyer, and they all turned to stare at Macie and I, as we were ushered in. For a few moments, no one said a word, the people at the front, who I recognised-purely from their television appearances-as the Alpha family.

Malik's parents were the first I saw. The regal former Luna of the Love Pack, Cecily, stood upon a slightly raised platform, along with her mate, the former Alpha of Love, Alexander. Extremely important people were staring at me, and I suddenly don't know what to do with my hands and arms.

But where is their son? The Alpha cannot be seen anywhere.

Alexander, the former Alpha looked grim at our sudden appearance, whereas Cecily looked delighted by the fact that we had finally arrived. I didn't have time to look at all the girls, who stared at us like we are the strangest creatures in this land.

Well, if they plan to mate the Alpha of Love, they better get used to our physical traits.

"We were getting worried," Cecily said, looking past us, to Elaine. She moved around me, stepping in front of us to talk directly to the Alpha family. There was no way I would be able to formulate a proper sentence around such nobility anyway. Perhaps I would embarrass myself to the point where I would be sent home by them

Cecily steps forward, while Alexander stays standing on on the edge of the platform. The other girls watching did not say a word, and I wonder what they had been briefed on before Macie and I arrived.

"We apologize," Elaine says, in a voice I hadn't heard her use before. Something told me she is instantly sucking up to them, which In can't blame her for.

Macie clung to my arm, and for once, was quiet. Judging by the way she stares heavily at Cecily, she is admiring what she wears. Her dark hair is swept back, held in place by a diamond encrusted clip. Her entire body was draped in the finest silk fabric, coloured to match the glittering hair piece that was probably worth more than anything I have ever bought.

"The girls may take a seat," Cecily said, clasping her hands together. "We have a few things to go over."

With Macie by my side, we wandered to the two empty seats next to each other, following the former Luna's orders. As I took a seat, I noticed I was sitting by a girl who looked a lot like a Desire Pack member. I don't know much about them, since I've never been out of the Love Pack, but I do know their dark, sultry features however. The girl beside me is a perplexing kind of beautiful, and I have to turn away the moment I look at her, to not come off like a total creep.

Sitting at the back meant I couldn't look at any of the other girls, so I was stuck staring at the back of their heads. I didn't mind though...It is giving me time to collect myself.

"Now, we shall reiterate what we briefly went over before, so the two girls who joined us, may understand," Cecily proclaimed, stepping back onto the platform to address us. My mind still lingers on the fact that Malik isn't here right now, despite this competition being about him. By the looks of the girls in front of me, and the way they seem to be glancing around at every opportunity, they are wondering the same thing.
