Hemera's POV
I wanted to steal the show, and I made sure I did.
It was the first step to my plan. I wanted to get not only Eliot's attention or the alphas present, but the entire crowd. I wanted to make Lydia feel threatened. To the other wolves it might not be a problem but to she-wolves, especially the ones that are to be mated to someone like an alpha that has so many wolves to his disposal, it is a problem.
Immediately I came inside the ball room, a lot of wolves were asking me for a dance. I felt amazed. It was the first time I had a choice but this time I had to be very precise. My fate lies on this very ball.
None of the wolves asking for my hand caught my attention. I needed to get Eliot's attention and that is by dancing with an alpha, especially one higher than him. I gave one of the beta's my hand first; the strongest one I could sense. I didn't want anyone to discover my plan so I took it nice and easy. He was kind enough to take me to the middle of the dance floor. He was trying to build a conversion but honestly, I didn't care. I was just looking round for a particular alpha that I heard will be in attendance. Immediately the music was over I smile and left to look for Karla. She was by the counter refilling drinks. I went there with a glass.
"You said he will be here." I told her in a whisper. Trying not to get noticed.
"He is here. I saw him during the dinner. You just have to look." She told me.
I went toward the crowd and stood by the side so that the crowd can notice me. I wanted to get Eliot's attention and the only way was to get the attention of someone that is higher, better and stronger than him there is only one person, Elpis Kane, alpha of the blood moon pack. I looked round but I couldn't see him and from my side, I saw another wolf coming towards me. Immediately left the ball. I couldn't risk dancing with another person the wasn't what I wanted. I took a drink from a nearby waiter and went upstairs. I went to the balcony to think of what to do. I held the rod tight to pull myself together. It was like all was not going well. I couldn't make it more clear to myself that if this did work, I might as well die.
"Young lady, are you okay?" I heard someone say from behind me.
The voice my heart skipped a beat. I wasn't expecting anyone to come here. I turned out of shock and held my chest.
