The Six Renegade Lunas

Chapter 33 - The Ball

Isabella's P.O.V.

*One week later*

No one knew about us being white wolves. It was still the case. But today they were going to officially introduce us to some of their packs. There was a huge ball because all the 'bloodthirsty' Alphas had found their mate.  How ridiculous! Honestly, now everyone is all over the place getting ready. My pack and I met our mates' parents about two days ago. Carson's mother is dead, and his father is not quite right in the head anymore. He was nice enough though.

*Flashback*

I rush to open the door to Carson's father. I wanted to make a good impression. When he came in, he said,

"Carson, my boy, just like your mother," ignoring me. Carson pointedly introduced me,

"Father, this is my mate, Isabella. Isabella, this is my father, Ashton." Suddenly, Ashton got a faraway look on his face and said,

"My mate told me to tell you that you are perfect for  her son. She wishes she could be here too." I smile,

"Okay." Later on in the evening, Carson pulls me aside,

"Listen, my father is under the impression that my mother can still mind-link him from beyond the grave. Sorry if he says anything rude or insensible." I peck him on the lips, showing my understanding before dragging him back to the living room.

*Flashback over*

Yeah, Carson's father was strange. But with his mother absent, Alex' mother took me under her wing with Elina to help me get ready. I know that all the mothers admire me, they told me so themselves

*Flashback*

The mothers of our mates wanted to meet me the famous Isabella. Alex' mother, Georgia, flat out told me,

"I admire you so much for standing our to our sons. They have changed these recent years to grow more heartless and ruthless. You are the first one in ages to give them a run for their money. I knew Carson's mother, she would have loved you."  The others nodded their consent and Aiden's mother, Jane added,

"Your pack and you are just what these boys need in their lives. Everyone has heard of the renegade lunas who befriended the first white wolves in centuries. You will not back down no matter what. That is how a luna should act. You all will be great."

*Flashback over*

I smile at the memory. The mothers really want me to be drop-dead gorgeous, so instead of having one mother fussing over only me. I have five mothers each fussing a little. I was getting annoying. In the past few days, we have bought dresses, shoes, basically everything. I got a dress like this :

It was beautiful and it was a total surprise. If I would have to go to this ball, I would do it on my own terms. But five mothers were more than enough to force me to sit down on a chair for five hours to get my makeup and hair done. I mean seriously I may be female but five hours is too much. Georgia finally announced,

"You're ready!" Thank God! I look at the clock, we should have been at the ball already. Our Alphas went there earlier for some meetings, but told us to meet them there at 7:30 since the ball starts then. Shit, it's 7:30 and we are still at the house. I got to the main room where everyone was, chanting,

"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!" It takes the others a second to realize why. Then, they join me. Yup, we screwed up, late to our own party. I mind-link Carson,

"Go in without us. We will be there late." I could literally feel Carson rolling his eyes at me through the link,

"Fine. But hurry up!" I break off the connection without answering, ushering the girls into the car. The mothers are not coming, claiming they are too old. Pfft, too old my ass! I am sure that tonight will be a different kind of excitement for them. They are planning something, but whatever. 

In the car, I can literally feel the anxiety and the stress coming off from my girls. I smile and reassure them,

"This ball literally doesn't matter. No one can take our mates away from us." Sam whines,\

"That's easy for you to say, you are so confident!" Elina adds,

"Everyone will respect you and those who don't, well, you have no problem with putting them in their place." I open my mouth, but am interrupted by Emilia,

"We however are just the others, those who followed you. You are the leader." Emma comments,

"I'm the past omega here, you are the daughter of an Alpha. You have nothing to fear." I look at each of them straight in their eyes,

"If someone even insults you, I'll kill them. And, Emma, don't envy my family. My parents are manipulative little bitches. My brother is nice enough, but will always side with my parents. I had ignored the truth of it but now I have accepted it. Today, I will have to see those traitors and smile. So, no don't think I had it easy as the Alpha's daughter." Emma looks at me apologetically,

"Sorry, I am just really nervous." I smile back,

"It'll be fine." Soon enough, we arrived at the castle that used to belong to an ancient Alpha King from hundreds of years ago. The packs now use it as a neutral rendez-vous point. I look at the time, 7:50. We're twenty minutes late. At least, it will be a dramatic entrance. We gather at the door and I take a deep breath, checking one last time on my girls. I nod at the door opener dude to open the door and he does. Everyone turns at the noise and stares at us. I hear whispered conversations. From the unmated males,

"Who the hell is that?... I wanna get with that...Damn, she's hot." From the older werewolves,

"The youth was no right to enter in like that. Who do they think they are?" From some females,

"Who is that? Is she mated? Yes, she has a mark. Which hunks here are theirs? No one will look at us now," with several hostile and jealous looks. I see Carson and he smirks at me. I am pissed that he isn't coming over here right now to help us. I point my head to some hot looking unmated males. His eyes go black with possessiveness and he starts to make his way by my side. Guess he didn't not like my insinuation that I could go with the unmated males, oops! The other Alphas notice Carson and follow his lead. He arrives and offers me his arm. I accept. Everybody gasps, putting 2 and 2 together. I hear,

"She's his luna... The renegade one... The friends with the white wolves..." I try to ignore them to the best of my ability. Carson chuckles and whispers in my ear,

"Enjoying yourself, love?" I look at him and glare,

"I'll let you guess." Eventually, people came to us to introduce themselves. All the bloodthirsty Alphas and their mates stayed close together for the obvious reasons. Then, there was a girl from Carson's pack who came up and asked,

"Is it true you ran from Carson?" Carson immediately growls at the memory. The girl suddenly looks scared and I put my hand on his shoulder to calm him down. I answer her,

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Why not?"

"I mean he is hot-" I growl possessively and Carson smirks at me "-powerful, and rich. What more?"

"I wanted someone who would treat me like an equal."

"Oh. How long did you evade him before capture?"

"Two months give or take, and he never caught me, we negotiated a deal."

"Oh wow. And-" Carson cuts her off,

"Sorry, we need to go now." He pulls me away. I turn to him and question,

"What the hell was that about?" He sighs and replies,

"Too many questions about you leaving us. Makes my wolf jumpy, especially with so many unmated males staring at you." I look around and see that he is right, most of the men are staring. "You had to wear that dress, huh."

"Yup." He sighs,

"C'mon, let's get seated for dinner." We walked to our spots and sat down. More people coming and saying hi while I deflect most questions. What a boring night! There will be dancing soon, but I doubt Carson likes to.

This is going to be a long night.
