"Get ready, tonight we are going to a party which is held in the West Moon pack, we were invited directly by their Alpha and Luna, so we have to come."
All the family members who were enjoying a glass of red blood as their breakfast nodded slowly, agreeing to the order of my dad, our head of the family.
"Use the best clothes you have, and Alice, don't stay away from your brother. Not only our people are invited, but also the Witches and the Elves. Only the Elves are friendly to us, we can't even predict how the Werewolves who invited us this time treat us. I'm afraid you'll be in danger. You understand what I mean right?"
I nodded slowly. This isn't the first time my family has been possessive of me. Honestly, i often think of my self as a burden to my family, because my abilities are relatively weak for a noble vampire like them. Unlike the other vampires, i have never once consumed human blood, i am allergic to something that has become the staple food of my people. That's why, special for me, the maids provided the blood of the animals that they hunted theirself.
Centuries ago, Whole creatures get into a food chain agreement. One of them is Vampire and human. Humans are willing to give their blood in a bag and give it to the vampires with a note that every bag they give will be paid the right price, be it gold, silver, diamonds and other valuables. But unfortunately, that means nothing to me.

"Wow, how beautiful you are."
I smiled softly as my mom rubbed my shoulder while i was putting makeup in front of my bedroom mirror.
"Just so you are mom," i said. My mom then smiled softly in response to my praise.
Finished with my makeup, i then accepted my mother's hand to come downstairs, following my family members who had been waiting for us.
"You're so pretty," i smiled at the praise of my dad.
"So you are dad, no wonder if mom fall in love with you." All the family members who were ready to go to the party with their luxurious appearance that night laughed softly. Without a word, we go to the carriage that was waiting in front of our house.
It didn't take long for us to arrive at the location of the party. The whole creatures seemed to be enjoying the dinner. For a moment, i was amazed by the luxury of the event, there's various food which's prepared according to the preferences of each creatures. I gasped when my hand was gripped gently by my dad.
"Remember what i say, stay by your brother's side. You got it?"
I smiled and nodded slowly trying to reassure my father that i would be fine. We finally got off our carriage. Receiving various kinds of stares, from gazes of praise to hatred.
Remembering what my dad said, i then took Vicki's arm, my older brother. With a smile on each of our lips, me and my family then stepped into the party.
I smiled when the waitress offered a drink to me. I started to get bored when Vicki started to meet his friends and talk about something that i didn't understand at all. I felt that it wouldn't hurt to go outside for a bit of fresh air. Seeing my brother busy with his conversation, i finally left without saying anything.
I sighed when the atmosphere outside was quieter, maybe i really didn't fit among the creatures there because i didn't really understand how to start a conversation. Silence like this can always give me peace.
"Did you see that girl? So beautiful."
I choked when my ear accidentally caught the deep voice of someone who was talking to someone else.
"I saw her with the Vehyla family. She's a royalty, don't mess with her."
I breathed a sigh of relief when those words were spoken. Thank goodness someone recognized me. I continued sipping my drink without worry. But a few moments later my eyes widened when suddenly my mouth was covered with one hand and i was pulled somewhere.
***
I burst into tears as my body was forced to lie on the ground. Two men who i believed to be wolves were locking me, one's holding my hands and the other trying to tear my dress off.
"Let go of me! Dad! Mom! Vicki!"
I screamed calling my family members one by one hoping someone would help me escape. I should have listened to my dad's advice.How stupid i am.
"Someone help me!"
Bam!
A man who tried to rip my dress had fallen down after a woman was hitting the nape of his neck with a stick.
"You'd better go than be killed by Alpha of your damn pack! This is my last warning!"
The other man, who was still holding my hands finally let go of his grip and ran away hearing the threat from that woman. I then got up, covering one sleeve of my torn dress. With trembling lips, i thanked the unknown girl who had helped me.
"Are you okay?" asked the girl worriedly, i nodded slowly in response.
"I believe they are part of the werewolves, I apologize for that. We should guarantee your safety because we were the ones who gave the invitation for your family."
I tried to smile slowly even though the fear still haunted me. My hair must look messy, some parts of my dress also looks torn, the girl in front me looks grimace. May be she's imagining what if she didn't save me in time.
"I'm Rieka Arion, Alpha Jack's youngest sister, the leader of the North Moon pack. We're good friends with the West Moon pack who are having a party tonight," said that beautiful tan girl to me, introduced herself.
"I-I'm... Alice Vehyla, i'm the youngest child of the vampire noble Archer Vehyla."
She widened her eyes after hearing my name. Yeah, i know everyone would do that too. Vehyla is not an ordinary vampire family, seeing my appearance like this, my family will definitely feel insulted. Biting her nails slowly, the girl then grabbed my hand.
"Change your clothes, I'll lend you my dress. Coincidentally my family and I decided to stay here for two days, so I have more clothes."
I shook my head slowly hearing Rieka's offer. But sadly, my shake was not enough to hold Rieka and her decision.
"I beg you, take this as my apologies. I am afraid that your family and other vampires will be furious to see your appearance and will cause bad relations between us."
Hearing Rieka's words, i finally agreed to the girl's request. Stepping quickly towards the room that West Moon pack provided for her, Rieka then chose the best dress for me. Thankfully we have the same body size.
After tidying my hair, Rieka pulled my hand and then brought mebback to the party. But, before we even reach the party, a handsome man with glowing emerald eyes stopped us.
