This morning is one of the best I have had in a while. I woke up with a spring in my step and I am bouncing as I hold a mini-concert in the bathroom. My life could change forever. With foam on my body, I whip around and execute sweet dance moves.
Ughhh yeah.
Towelling as quickly as I can, I make a note to bath again before going to Beta Maximus's office. I need The boost in positivity it brings.
Dressed and off to my chores, I do it so fast I barely notice time flying. I am feeling excited, so excited.
Taking that second bath, I put on my best dress. It's a blue chiffon dress that comes down around my ankles. I spin around, watching the dress float around me and I blow myself a kiss.
Walking through the winding corridors I arrive at Beta Maximus's office, knocking tentatively.
Come in
I walk in to see a rather full office. It seems all the pack eligible females are here.
Amelia is here, is she crazy.
Does she think, they will accept her?
What a stupid girl
I hear whispers around me. They are only whispers because they respect Beta Maximus and don't want to cause a scene. The same can't be said for his wife, Lori.
Amelia, you are here and I presume to sign up for the tournament.
I nod, swallowing hard.
She laughs and everyone joins her, even Beta Maximus looks bemused and I have seen that man have anything other than a stern look on his face.
What were you thinking? Let me guess, you would meet a handsome wolf and fall in love, get married and live happily ever after.
More laughs.
She even wore a blue dress. What happened to your trusty jeans and boots? Don't tell me you think you are Cinderella.
Newsflash Darling, this is a competition for female wolves which well you aren't.
More laughs
She is even lower than an omega. The nerve of her to walk in here.
She must have thought she is starting in some fairy tale of some sort.
The whispers are no longer whispers but full-blown conversations happening like I am not there.
Beta Maximus looks irritated and I have to do something fast else, I will lose my only opportunity.
Growl
The office is suddenly so silent, that you could hear a pin drop.
The expression on everyone's face is priceless, especially Lori. She looks like she is about to burst.
I revert to my former state.
Hmmm, Beta Maximus finally breaks the silence.
When did you discover your wolf?
A few days ago
Why didn't you report it?
I was going to but I got distracted with my chores.
And you can do that?
Do what?
A partial shift
Yes
Since when?
As soon as I turned.
Hmmm was the only response I got.
Maximus, you can't possibly be thinking of letting her participate, if she leaves, the organisation of cleaning becomes...
Beta Maximus silences his wife with a frosty look.
Amelia, consider yourself an official contestant. You may leave.
I turn around and leave with my head held high.
When I am quite some distance, I release a scream and do some dorky moves.
Yes finally! After many years I am able to slap all their faces at once. That felt good. Very very good.
The ladies of the pack have been catty to me. What an irony considering they are wolves.
