Ashira's POV

One last look at the mirror and I nodded to myself. I'm content with my reflection. This was the best I could do anyway.

I was completely dressed up, ready to attend the ball. I fix my face with a light foundation since I'm not a fan of it. I made my eyes in a light smoky black shade, just to emphasize my deep green eyes, and put some mascara on.

I needed not to contour my face since its contrast was all in the right places, also-I don't know how to contour. My lips are in the shade of nude pink. My cheeks are naturally rosy and the thin foundation didn't cover it, so no need to put blush on.

My hair falls straight to my waist not needing a straightener.

I grabbed the invitation card, felt my own life depended on this piece of paper, and headed out of the room.

Ava, jump-walking close to me, greeted me. She was fully dressed and ready to go.

"Oh, my God! I've waited for you to come out!" she exclaimed. My eyebrows flickered. I didn't know she was.

"What? Why?" I asked and started walking down the hall. I thought Ava get along with the four girls with us.

"Well, the girls will come in twos, that left me without one so I waited for you. I don't want to go alone!" she was hyper. I wonder if her wolf keeps running in circles inside her. She was full of energy.

"Sorry, I didn't know. You could've told me." I said pointing in my head, referring to our mind link.

"I can't reach you at all. Your mind portal was closed." she pouted.

She was wearing a long blue dress with sleeves and a plunging neckline. Her blonde wavy hair complements the dress.

I stopped walking and looked at her. "What?" I didn't block her or anyone in my mind. I don't know what she was saying. "I did not block you."

"Oh, I'm not saying you did. It happens sometimes when we have a lot to think about, we unconsciously close our portal. You must be too excited, too." she grinned at me and shrugged. I knew what she was saying but I have full control of my wolf. My portal never closes without my permission. And I have no ounce of excitement in my nerves at all.

My forehead was knotted to the ground floor, bothered by what Ava had said.

'Did you purposely block my mind?' I asked my wolf but she was not talking to me. What game was she playing now?

It's 30mins to 7. A shuttle will pick up every guest in the guesthouse to where the ball will be held—to the packed building.

I bet their huge hall in that building will be the venue.

I noticed our number was not too much. Every she-wolf with me came from different packs but we're around 50. No more no less.

Five 18-seater vans were parked outside the building, waiting for us. Anton, who welcomed us yesterday was upfront, eyeing everyone with a smile.

"Okay, I guess everyone's here. Good evening, ladies!" He winked at us. I'm guessing this one was a player. "Hop yourselves in the van, a group of ten in each vehicle."

I and Ava hopped on the last van, together with eight ladies I was not sure who were.

The Van moved now and I heard cheery tiny screams from the ladies with me, Ava as well.
