I Reject You

Chapter 1

"Hannah Flair Parker!" My mom shouted for me to wake up. She has used my full name, it's got to be something serious.

I woke up with a jolt and groggily looked around. I picked up my alarm clock from the side table and realized how many times it must have rung but I never heard. I slept in the afternoon after coming back from a two- hour run and planned to wake up in time (which never really happened).

I scrambled out of my bed deciding not to make her more angry than she already was. I'm smart enough to know it's best to avoid her wrath. Looking out of the window, I knew it was night already. How did time go by so fast? Oh right, when I was busy sleeping.

.....And dreaming about hot guys, my perverted subconscious self adds.

My legs were tangled in the sheets and the next thing I know I'm lying on the floor with my butt sticking up in the air. Yes, I fell on my head and it hurts like hell.

I was about to stand up when my bedroom door opened with a bang! My poor door...

My mom was there looking as furious as ever with her arms crossed over her chest.

"What did I say about getting ready in time today?" Mom asked calmly but I could feel her suppressing her anger. "What are you even doing on the floor?" She looked at me as if I was crazy and I realized I was still on the floor.

Okay I admit I'm usually crazy. But hey, this time I genuinely fell.

I stood up brushing of imaginary dust off my knees and butt thinking of what to say. I scratched my head wondering why was she so angry.

My mom's eyes widened as she said "Don't you dare tell me that you forgot what is today!"

Oh no....

I slapped my forehead remembering about it. How could I sleep in?! How could I forget?!

I gave her an awkward grin to which she replied with an even harder glare (if it was possible).

"I'm really sorry mom. I remembered until the afternoon but it slipped out of my mind after that. Don't worry, I'll come downstairs as soon as possible." I tried explaining her to escape from her fury which was next to impossible to face.

"You better. Or else I'll make you come in your pajamas." She replied while going out of my room and shutting the door behind her.

My eyes were wide as saucers. Over the 18 years of my survival, I've understood not to take her threats lightly.

Today was the Annual Ceremony of our Dark Shadow pack where all of us gathered together to please the Moon Goddess for the protection of our pack. Although our pack doesn't get involved in fights and making enemies, but still we celebrate this ritual every year with full enthusiasm. This is more of a bonding excuse for all the pack members and honestly, it's fun.

We all dress up and gather together. The Alpha of the pack addresses the other members and there is a lot of dancing, singing and most importantly good food. At 12 midnight we perform a ritual where every pack member has to sacrifice some of their blood to please the Moon Goddess to take care of our pack. This ritual is also known for making the bond between the members even stronger.

I quickly took a shower and wore the dress that I had chosen for the function. It was a beautiful white- colored mid length dress that ended just above my knees. It fitted me like a glove till my waist and flared out till the knees. The bow in the middle of the dress is what made me fall in love with it.

I quickly curled my naturally straight hair at the tips to give them a little bounce. I pulled out my makeup kit hurriedly and applied a little amount of makeup. To give an additional, sexy touch, I applied a blood red colored lipstick on my lips.
