The evening was fast approaching and the royals were busy selecting out their favourite outdlfits for the night.
"My lady, I heard from the head maid here that everyone must go!" Belinda spoke looking at the bundle on the bed. The princess had refused to attend the ball since this was where first impressions came into play. She had seen the planned schedule of the whole year and was appalled at the number of events they were going to engage themselves into but with only three presentable dresses, she opted to sit this one out.
Risella came into the room with a small tray containing small potion bottles, she closed the door behind but frowned when she realised nothing had been done yet and the princess was still in bed. "Your Highness, you are still not ready! The head maid is soon reaching our room!" She spoke rushing to pluck the princess from the comfort of her bed. The princess hugged the comforter tightly in no plans of letting go. She didn't want to make life difficult for her maids but she wasn't planning on going.
The maids were franatic since the head maid was a really giagntic and intimidating lady. Her voice was more masculine than feminine and she commanded respect.
Tired of being tugged at, the princess grumbled and let the comforter go which had Risella fall back to her butt. "Fine, I'm up!" the little princess whined as she got up with a huge pout and went to the shower.
Risella rubbed her butt wronged but didn't dwell on that for long. She got the potions and went ahead to pour some in the princess's bath water as Belinda helped her get out of her clothes.
The Males Wing.
"Alpha Caleb....the...attire you are dressed up in belongs to Alpha Collin." A middle aged man spoke trying not to frown or tug his hair out in frustration when he was ignored. He rubbed his face for the millionth time. His thoughts were interrupted when another youngman came growling and throwing his boots towards the middle aged man who ducked and dodged the attack. "Alpha Morrison is anything thing the matter?" He asked with a forced smile.
"Those aren't my shoes, what are they doing in my chambers? And where the heck is Jack! Is he trying to see how far I can go?!" He growled menacingly.
"I'm sorry Alpha Morrison, I'll be right on it, to get your shoes I mean! As for Alpha Jack.....sigh" 'Never mind!' he thought the latter part and walked to get things in place.
All things had been organised but the Mischievous Alpha Jack had misplaced everything that had been meticulously organised and left the room for his brothers to tear themselves apart. He always said that 'if they tore themselves apart, he wouldn't have to prove himself and become the one and only Alpha.' Though his words held no malice, at some point the brothers really wanted to tear themselves apart.
For people who wanted to be on time, they were delayed by their pranking 5th brother and were two hours late! So unroyal like!
They however also had this tendency of doing things together all the time and no one left the other behind. Once everyone and thing were in order, they exited their chambers to find him leaning lazily aganist a wall. "So slow!" Jack sneered and turned flaunting his cream robe and leadig the way.
Soft music played in the grand ballroom as the princes and princesses mingled. Lots of flattering and praises could be heard and the excited giggles of the ladies seemed like music of its own.
The doors to the ball room fell open and seven young men made their way in.
"Oh my God, there they are!" A few unruly princeses giggled as hey checked out the prince charmings.
Identical but different if that makes sense was what described the seven princes aka Alphas. In public, they shared the same attitude which was aloof and arrogant but they had really different personas. Others approached them to introduce and get to know of them. The men were really nice and easy to get along however they had barriers risen.
"Alpha Caleb it's nice to meet you and your brothers. We've heard alot about you." A pale looking youngman introduced himself wih a handshake which was returned.
At the side the pointed eared Princess was introducing each and everyone to those interested. "Now to the were wolf kind.
The one in a clear white robe is Alpha Kevin. Last born of the seven. From an up close view, his eyes are of an amber shade, more feminine features, his hair black and character....shy but out spoken.
The one in a light blue robe is Alpha Morrison. The sixth born. Green eyes, black hair. Easily triggered. He snaps easily and always in fights with the fifth born.
Alpha Jack. The fifth born. The one in the cream robe. He is the easy going one, optimistic, sunny and mischievous. Blue eyes and he too has black hair.
Alpha Collin. The fourth born, dressed in a black robe. Brown eyes and black hair. He is mostly quiet but pretty philosophical. More level headed and thinks deeply into something before he acts.
Alpha Brandon. The one in the light green robe. He is the softie and always looking out for his brothers wellbeing. He is the third born. Doting and super protective. His eyes are black. and hair black.
Alpha Ian. The second born, he is sunny too but loves flirting he is a simple minded guy and has grey eyes with black hair.
Lastly. The eldest. He is Alpha Caleb, cold and domineerig, he is unfazed about alot of things but sharp to pick up on situations. His eyes are Hazel. Black hair."
Their pack lands stretch from the north mountains that harbor the witch and warlocks covens to the sunny western lands to the southern lands that have you the humans. They are majorly settled up in the woods hence they let other creatures reside in the cities they had built. . Pack lands are okay to roam about but pack settlements are completely out of bounds to those that aren't of the werewolf kind. It is only possible with permission from that specific Alpha."
"There are other Alphas?" An inquisitive princess asked as she continued to write down what she had learnt.
"Yes, there are other Alphas but they have a supreme Alpha who governs the whole pack lands. The supreme Alpha is basically stronger and larger in beast form than other Alphas however he is also more level headed and understanding and doesn't command other Alphas but rather sits and they work things together. He is the father of the seven."
The pack are answerable to their Alpha and their Alphas are answerable to the supreme Alpha." She replied to which the small group of around five princesses nodded in understanding. They had got to know alot more and they couldn't be any happier.
The pointed eared princess gave a long and tired sigh. She had been talking for two and a half hours now and she was so tired.
At the side, the little princess had been listening attentively and now she had a clue of who was who and the kinds they belonged to. From description to the basic body features and character traits, she had an idea and hoped not to run into the shady one's she had come to know of.
After the slight mingling, they were ushered over to the dining hall. Different kinds were assigned to different tables since there was a difference in meals. Also they didn't want to overwhelm others with the different types of food they ate.
The were wolf table had around sixteen young men and one female who had been explained to be a special case. A female to be born an Alpha! Their table was graced with large chunk of beautifully seasoned meat and other foods but their tables had no vegetables. It was that they were more of meat people.
The table of Vampires had ten men and five women from the Vampire royal blood line. However, their tables only had glasses full of red thick liquid.
'It was blood! From willing donors! Ewww..opppsss, no that's their meal and means of survival!' The little princess scolded herself internally. I should be good to them. Their movements were graceful and regal but their bloody eyes were a scary encounter!
She turned to look at the Elf table and saw only green. 'Wow.... herbivores!'
She looked to the fairies table and saw berries. Okaaay!
She looked at the Faes table, witches and all the other creatures. Humans had more offsprings. She had noted that since they were the ones with around six giagntic tables and all occupied. She had chosen to seat at the furthest table away and eat in silence. Luckily, she had not been noticed by her sisters yet.
Lots of love from litto-ways ❤️
