I've been slumbering for the last thousand years. With no reason to walk the mortal realm, i have slept through countless events and lives, and yet a golden glimmer has awoken me. Golden eyes flashed through my mind, piercing my being. How... strange, we Celestials don't feel, we just are, yet i can't shake it. What could have been strong enough to wake a self-imposed slumber of a Celestial?

Mira

"Mira!"

I grumble at the sound of the lead Matron yelling my name, i swear this lady has it out for me.

"Mira! How many times must i yell for you before you get your lazy ass up!"

Yawning, i sit up and stretch my arms over my head, then point my index finger mockingly. "Just once," moving to the edge of the bed, i whisper, "You old fart."

"What was that?!" Matron Lydia asks as she pulls my ear.

"GAAHH! Nothing! nothing Im up! Im up!" I say scrambling to get up as she continues to pull harder.

"Now listen here, Today is the Moonrise Covenant's winter solstice annual meeting. Everything must be in complete order. I know you're new here, but there must be no mistakes made today. All nine other Alphas will be in attendance."

All other nine alphas, huh? It's not that i didn't know, of course. Everyone in all territories knows of the annual Winter Solstice meeting, where the reigning alphas converge to, well fuck, who knows that they really do but its supposed to keep the peace between the territories blah blah blah. Pretty sure its just another excuse for them to sit around and swing their dicks around. I snort then wince at the pain in my left ear, as Lydia pulls my ear again.

"Whats so funny child?"

I straighten up pulling myself out of her reach. I've got to get my shit together. "Nothing. Im sorry give me two minutes and i will be your slave!" She whips her head and glares at me but before she can reach for me I'm running to our shared bathroom to cleaned up and changed for the day.

Clean uniforms are set out for us and after brushing my teeth and washing my face as best i can i move to the annoying task of trying to tame my wild hair. As if the color wasn't enough to attract unwanted attention. I braid it as best i can and give myself a once over in the mirror. My golden eyes seem to have an extra glow today. I almost didn't get this job because of my looks. I stand out too much for a servant they said. hmph.

Usually my golden eyes are muted and unless the light hits them just right they are more of a hazel color. I must be nervous. Early on in my life i realized they are affected by strong emotions, but I'm feeling pretty good today so I'm not sure what could be causing them to glow. Strange.

It is now three o'clock and there is only an hour before the Alphas are set to arrive. I will be on wine duty today. Hopefully this means i can sneak in a few sips of their ridiculously expensive wine. I mean its not like they would even notice. No expense has been spared for this little get together.

Raiden, my ever "humble" employer loves to flaunt his wealth. Makes you wonder what he is compensating for. But i cant really complain when i am benefitting from his good grace. I have yet to even see him as i work down in the kitchens but the girls who work upstairs say he is extremely handsome and not at all a dick. but i guess i will be finding that out today for myself. I will not only get to see him but all the attending alphas. My heart thuds in my chest and i place a hand over my chest trying to catch my breath. What the hell?

I need to get my shit together. I cant have my eyes going a glowy when I'm serving wine to all ten Alphas. Matron Lydia warned me they hate anything to distracting. but as the clock ticks toward the hour i find its impossible to calm my racing heart and i am terrified of what could happen if the Alphas notice.

As werewolves we all have heightened senses but it is said an alpha can sense even the smallest change in a person heart. They are so attuned to each sense that for this meeting it has been highly stressed we must appear as invisible as possible.

The tolling of the bell tower in town signals its time. And my heart jolts again. any minute now the Alphas will come strolling through the manor.

Celestials im so fucked!
