The Alphas got a Human Mate

Chapter 3: Coincidence?

(The picture on the side is how I imagine Emma)

"Mom! I'm home!" I yelled as I walked inside, trying to get her attention. She had said something before I left for the mall with Ethan about a charity gala we had to attend tonight for the Williamson's family, and right now, I really did not want to get ready.

"Oh thank God you're home. I was starting to get worried you would stay out all night and miss the gala" my mom said frowning at me, she knew me too well.

I'm the rebellious child of every parents dreams. If I don't want to go somewhere, I won't go. I was very close to Mr. and Mrs. Williamson and they had this charity event every year. I'd never missed it before so I couldn't miss it now. Plus I was too tired to make my mom angry at me over a charity event.

"Go get ready Elena, you're already late! Don't make me more angry than I already am with you. You know how the Williamson's are about time!" My mom said sounding frustrated. I decided to oblige and stomped up the stairs in two's. I closed my room door once I got in and locked it going into my bathroom and starting a shower. I washed my body and hair and shaved in record time. I was hoping my parents would let me leave the party early if I did what they asked. 

I got out, wrapping myself in a towel and walked to my walk-in closet, picking out a long black flowing dress my mom had picked out for me. Yes, I usually do pick my own outfits but for charity events like these, my parents would not approve of my dressing choice. I normally would just pull on a pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt, which of course is not "formal enough for a charity event" as my mother says. So I slipped into the long black flowing dress and left my hair to air dry. My hair was naturally straight with very light waves so it should be fine. I picked up my silver heels, put on silver earrings my mom had picked out for me, and made my way downstairs as I attempted to put on the rest of my jewelry and my heels in a humane manner.

The charity event was at some fancy hotel that I'd never been to, but luckily we made it to the event on time...almost. 

"Elenaaa!!!" I heard Emma screaming behind me. "Hey Emma! Long time no see! what have you been up to?" I asked Emma laughing. She looked beautiful in a simple peach flowing silk dress. Emma was one of the prettiest girls I had seen. She has blonde hair with green eyes and an amazing body to go with it. She looks nothing like Ethan who has brown hair with grey eyes. They were truly a beautiful family.

Hearing my question, Emma's smile faded and a frown appeared. "Ethan didn't tell you? Nick and I broke up. He was a douche bag anyway, so it's okay. And yes, I'm fine so don't ask. I'm tired of people acting like I'm some widow now." Emma said sounding sad but at the same time a little relieved. "I'm so sorry Emma, I had no Idea, Ethan never told me. Forget Ethan! Why didn't you ever tell me!" I frowned, upset at her as well as Ethan for hiding something like this from me. Emma and Nick had been on and off for the last two years and she really liked him, so I knew this meant a lot to her. "I'm sorry Elena, I thought Ethan had told you. Look I need to go find my mom ok? She's been looking for me. If I see Ethan i'll let him know where to find you" Emma smiled as she turned around and walked away.

I walked towards the event entrance to go meet some other people when I saw a face I almost recognized. He looked too familiar and I knew I recognized him from somewhere. I racked my brain for where I could have possibly seen him before when I realized I was still staring at him. Except now, he was staring back. In fact, he was walking towards me with a smirk on his face. That's when I recognized him. The guy from the mall earlier today. How could I forget.
