Lycan (hiatus)

Chapter 2

Aster's POV

I woke up from my nap and stared at the ceiling a bit disoriented. A series of knocks to my door suddenly jolts me from my comfortable sleeping position and I sit up staring or more like squinting at the door.

I wonder who it is. I thought. Let's pretend were asleep and scare the person when they're close. My wolf Dahlia says and I attempt to cover myself while trying to suppress my giggles as I took the ends of my fluffy blanket.

Suddenly a very familiar voice speaks from behind the door.

"Aster my darling wake up it's Mommy I have something to tell you my puppy."

I frantically get out from under the blanket and try to run to the door as fast as I can while replying as I step on the floor.

"Just a second Mommy." My voice comes out deeper and a little bit raspy from sleep. I let out a breathless laugh at the sound of it.

"Open!" I sing as I push the door open and smile at my Mom.

I took her hand and led her in, pushing the blankets and pillows from the side of the bed to the middle to make room for her to sit in. She smiles comfortingly at me and starts talking.

"My puppy you need to attend the annual ball you know that right." she strokes my hair and looks at me in the eyes warmth radiating off of hers.

"Mom do I really have to go?" I whine with a small voice and look at my lap.

"Yes you do puppy, you didn't go last year when you turned 18 and you know it's mandatory for legal aged wolves to go to the ball." She says with an air of finality to her voice. I pout at that and reluctantly nod my head.

"Okay Mommy, but what if I see my mate there what will I do?!" I let out with a panicked whimper, I do not want to be separated from my family and everyone knows that.

"You'll change your mind when you see your mate my puppy I'm sure of that, and that's exactly how I felt before I met your father but I changed my mind when I met him." She says with a laugh.

I just nod at her words and stared anxiously at the wall. This is the first grand event I'll be going to oh my goodness what will I wear- I thought and suddenly Dahlia stops me from ranting. Stop being so nervous Aster I'll be here with you and remember Barb will attend too think about how much fun we can have! She squeals from excitement.

My mom stands from my bed and walks to the door but before she closes the door she says.

"Oh honey someone told me they'll serve cheesecakes and chocolate truffles this year" whispering the last part and my eyes widen and smile wholeheartedly from excitement as I think about how good those deserts will be.

"REALLY MOM ?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER?! I HAVE TO GET READY!" I let out a sound between a squeal and a shrill from delight letting out a giggle after.

My mom grins at me as she closes the door and I jump out from bed determined to fix myself as fast as possible.

We have to get there as soon as possible. I said sounding like a woman on a mission.

Come on Aster let's get this over with or we'll run out of desserts if we're late . Dahlia says agreeing with me.

"Desserts here I come!" I run to the bathroom while I roar out lowering my voice to make it sound more like a battlecry.

*****

"Mom! Dad!" I squealed as I run from my room to the the top of the stairs.

"Yes darling are you ready?" I hear my dads booming voice from downstairs.

"I'm done Dad let's go get those desserts!" I let out a chortle as I run down the stairs glad and proud of myself for wearing flats instead of those uncomfortable heeled spawns of satan.

"You look so beautiful my little puppy." Mom says with tears pooling in her eyes as I reach the end of the stairs. I wore a burgundy coloured evening dress making my pale complexion pop out even more with my hair pulled up into a half pony and the ends of my dark brown hair curled.

"She's right darling you look beautiful, well you always do." Dad smiles while looking down at me our height difference making me crane my neck to look up at him.

Darn it I really wish I was taller. I thought sadly.

"Okay Laszlo let's go before I cry my eyes out." Mom says smiling at my dad giving him a playful nudge at his side.

Mom takes my hand while Dad offers his arm to her and we walk out of the house.

A car waiting for us outside.

I suddenly feel nervous at the thought of being around a bunch of people I do not know.
I feel like something's about to happen. Dahlia says and I feel a shiver run down my spine.

I feel it too. I let out a whine. Hoping my mate will like me if I do meet him today.
