3rd person pov:
Today is the day Scarlet has been dreading. Today is the day she and her dad, Alpha Ace, leave for the meeting with the supernatural leaders. In three days, it will be her 21st birthday. Instead of spending her birthday with Hecate and Jorge, she will be spending her birthday with a bunch of old people.
Fighting for her spot to rule over the crescent moon pack. She secretly agrees that she has no right to rule a pack. She agrees because she is a witch, not a wolf.
Scarlet Pov
It took two days to get to the capital.
I do have to admit that it's beautiful.
As much as I was dreading being here, I'm excited to explore. I want to visit the village while I'm here and the mountains and woods. I'm making a list of everything I want to do before the meeting tomorrow when I'm shaken out of my thoughts.
My dad says, "Scars were here; get out of your head."
The car comes to a stop, and a man P comes to the door and opens the door for us.
"Welcome to the capital, Alpha Ace Montgomery and Ms. Scarlet," says the man.
"Thank you, sir," my dad says while shaking his hand. I just smile.
The man says, "Please call me Gerald.".
When we are walking up the steps to the house, no one can tell that it's a fucking castle, not a house. We walk into the main entryway, and I'm stopped in shock.
"Holy hell, Dad, I think we are underdressed or in the wrong place." I say to him while looking around, and of course, he smirks, shakes his head, and whispers, "Language scar, this is the home of the king and queen remember".
I start looking around more and notice the chandelier hanging above the entryway and the two stairs that connect at the top landing on the second floor. Everything is over the top, fancy, and old. I'm scared that if I touch anything, it will break. I have a habit of breaking everything I touch, so I decided right then that I shouldn't touch or look. I turn my head and see my dad and Gerald talking to a beautiful lady in her early 30s, maybe. I walk over to see what's going on, and she introduces herself to me.
"Hello, Ms. Montgomery, welcome to the capital. I hope you enjoy your stay here.
My name is Stella, and I'll be your assistant for the duration of your stay."
"Thank you, Stella, but please call me Scarlet. I am not above you; we are equal," I say. Well, she shows us to our rooms.
On our way up the stairs, she explains the history of the castle and also fills us in on our schedules for the next couple of days. She then tells us that breakfast is at 7 a.m. and the meeting starts at 9 a.m.
tomorrow. Also, we will break at 1230 for lunch and resume at
1:30pm, call it a night at 4 pm, and have dinner at 6 pm. That will give me a couple of hours to explore before dinner tomorrow. We had already eaten dinner before we got here, so we retired to our room exhausted from traveling. We said thank you and good night. And I went to bed. I set my alarm, washed up, and went to sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
Next day: January 1st
Веер! Веер! Веер!
I hear my alarm going off at 6 a.m. I groan, get up, and shut it off. I check my phone and see a text from Cate.
"Bitch, don't forget to sneak a picture of the prince and his best friend for me."
I roll my eyes and reply with
"Yes, bitch, I'll make sure to get a picture of a horse's ass. Well, I'm at it."
•.
I send it, shut off my phone, and jump into the shower. After my quick shower, I rush to get dressed in dress pants and a nice shirt. I put some eyeliner on since I don't wear much makeup and ran my fingers through my crazy hair. Once done, I run out of the room and across the ball to my dad's room. Bang bang. I knock on my door and yell.
"Hurry up, old man, we're going to be late for breakfast'.
"I'm coming. I'm coming," he says to me and answers. He is already dressed and ready. He shuts the door, looks at me, and says,
"Happy birthday, kid."
Yes, it's my 21st birthday, and I'm stuck here. Thank you, Dad, I say as we walk to the dining room for breakfast.
