Ira's POV:
Concentrate, Concentrate, Consen-
"Alpha your dress has arrived" I opened my eyes slowly trying to control my anger as I turned towards my lovely warrior
"Let's challenge her to a duel"
"Really crystal?! " Before I could even utter my next words I felt a push in the back of my mind, as my mind was concentrating very wonderfully, I forgot to block it
"Eleanor, concentrate and-"
"It will balance your powers, yadayada, I know but this concentration you say ain't easy for god sake, master"
"Really, you're calling me master after mocking my teachings" I could feel my masters gaze burning through my skull but I didn't dare to look back
"I-"
"Enough, tomorrow at 4, be here" my master ordered
"4-what-no, I have a ball tonight and it's gonna be late and-"
"What did I say?"
"To be there at 4(your highness)" I mocked at her in my mind but I'm stupid so...
"I'm in your mind Ella, I can hear you, sometimes I wonder how you act like an emotionless stone with the others" Before I could even reply to that, she vanished into nothingness
"Nowadays everyone's vanishing eh?" my wolf mindlinked me..again
"Now's not the time crystal, that witch is actually angry with us" I softly massaged my forehead as I looked up to meet Julia who was looking at me with guilty eyes
"Where?" I asked as I slightly raised my brows, she seemed confused for a sec but then with a nod, she lead me to the designer, Rosette.
••••••••••
"Alpha, it's so wonderful that I could meet you"
"Yaya, save the formalities, I'm not in a good mood, where's the dress again?" she seemed stunned for a sec but with a soft tug from Julia, she came back to her senses.
"Everyone's zoning out these days" crustal pushed in my mind
"Would you please quit it crystal, I'm already annoyed today"
"Nick was right, you are pretty lame, anyway don't call me if you need anything, peesh so rude" and with that, she left my mind at peace, Thankfully..
"Alpha" I looked up at Rose to see her holding a blood-red gown with crystals surrounding its neckline" Wow, You did better than I expected," I said as I admired the wondrous beauty in front of me.
"Try it on my queen"
I'm not even her queen for her to say that but who cares about it anyway
Rose handed me the cloth as I walked into the changing room
"Wow, it's really soft too"
"It's satin, Crystal" I replied to my annoying ass wolf as I tried on the dress.
I turned around to look in the mirror, to realize that there was no mirror, well that failed...
I walked out to the mirror slowly admiring the beauty in front of me, also to see that Julia and Rosette were gaping at me, it was really beautiful tho, it was an off-shoulder dress covered in white crystals and the following was just a trail of a dark red mess.
Through the thick mesh of cloth, you could see a slit, which was till my thigh, showcasing my long legs.
"Wow, ohmagawd gurlllll, I didn't know you were this pretty, look at those legs, damn girl, you are gonna make everyone drool bish" I smiled but it died down when I saw that she was starting to utter apologies "ohmygod, I promise you I will never behave like that but you were just so pretty-i I am so sorry alpha, forgive me" she was going to bow down but before that could happen I stopped her.
I softly took her chin in mine and asked
"What did you do wrong rather than appreciating me Julia" she looked like she was lost for worst but I continued"You did nothing wrong, and thank you for saying that" I softly smiled at her leaving her speechless, again
I changed into my normal clothes and before I walked out of the door I said "prepare me a bath ladies, we have a ball to crash tonight" and with that, I left for the meeting.
••••••
"Are every kingdom alerted Jonah?"
"Yes, all the kingdoms are supposed to leave at least one elite in their kingdom and also to bring their own guards for protection"
"Good, now tell me what all we have gathered about the rogues"
"Not much, my queen, but we do know that the rogues are among the north and west sides of the castle, no killings have been sited for now and all the 5 packs are in tight security. As the elites, Ethan and I are staying guard for the Crimsons-Erkin Pack.
Jade, and Etna for Shade-Erkin Pack.
Julia, and Melissa for the Cross-Erkin Pack and Lola and Jim for the Arrow-Erkin pack." Claire, one of my female general informed
So I suppose Jonah, Joshua and Emily plus the alphas of the packs and their mates are coming with me"
"Well, not every Alpha is coming, the Shade Pack, the line is carrying a pup and the alpha won't leave her side, other than that yes my queen" I smiled at that, Shade packs Alpha is very caring to his luna, don't tell him I said this but he's a little teddy bear on the inside.
"So I guess we are prepared eh!" they all shared small smiles and we confirmed it with a nod.
•••••
I looked, more nice-ish than evil-ish I guess, my hair was in a braided updo sort of thing, they curled my hair a bit and added some crystal-stuffs into it, and the dress was a beauty, I'll say they Julia and Rosette did a really good job, now I was on my way to the ball, thankfully the ball is held just 15 mins away from my realm so that's a phew, I have no idea what happens in these balls, this is the first time I'm going, usually I send my pack elites, but difficult times call difficult measures.
15 Mins later
And, finally, we are here and let me tell you, this shits huge, like really huge, standing there was a 4 story castle and it was like those curved mansions, my guess is that it covers approximately an acre, just the castle, this castle is said to be more than 100 years old, gold itself carved into its pillars, the architecture is just pure beauty, this castle is kind of in the middle of all the realms, mainly it resides in the Welder, the reason why they host this.
It is a tradition for the Welder royalty to host an annual ball every year, but today it's also the selection of the Night brothers, Ezekiel being the elder one, he has more right to the throne, but just for the fairness they both, Ezra and Ezekiel will be combating against each other in their human forms, with no use of powers whatsoever, and who doesn't like to see two grown-ass men fighting.
As you can see I don't like these balls and I'm just coming for the sake of the king.
Let this marvelous day begin
