Chapter 2 The Night Everything Changed

Emily POV

We walked down the ball room, when suddenly the sound of music stopped

One of the servants blew the trumpet to get the guest's attention.

"Ladies and gentlemen...I present to you the alpha of nightfall park, Richard von Heist and his daughter's Emily von Heist and Vivian von Heist " the servant announced our presence.

"Dear guests,.I would like to present to you my daughters, Emily von Heist and Vivian von Heist," the father announced with an alpha accent.

The crowd applauded, I was feeling overwhelmed, this was the first time I attended a grand ball. Vivian on the other hand has attended lots of balls as father wouldn't let me attend one because I had no wolf.

"Let the grand ball begin!" Father announced with an authoritative voice.

Everyone was dancing on the dance floor, laughing, chattering,eating.

Vivian was at the edge of the ball room when a figure approached her. I thought she had found her mate. He had light blue eyes, long dark hair. Strands of inky black hair flowed into a sleek ponytail.

Vivian danced with the unknown guy for some time until in a blink of an eye he was nowhere to be found.

Vivian had a joyful smile written all over her face and I kept on wondering why

"Hey mum and dad, I would be going out for some while I have something to do" she said.

My parents furrowed the brows as to where she would be going.

"But Vivian, you haven't found your mate yet" mum replied. "Yeah I know I didn't feel any connection with anyone here, I'll be back byeee" she said and ran off.

"Hello Emily" a strange man approached me.

"I am Zachery, Beta to the alpha king of the crescent moon pack" he said with a wide grin.

"Why are you here?" I replied. "Your father and the alpha king has some business meeting, I was sent to escort your father"

So you didn't...... before I could continue I was interrupted by my father's voice.

"Zachery"! "My father said.

Zachery took a slight bow to my father.

"Shall we go," Father said.

"Yes,Damian awaits your presence"

Hmm...I guess the alpha of the crescent moon pack, his name is Damian I guess.

I turned to walk away in search of my mate when my dress got spilled with drinks "I'm so sorry lady Emily,I didn't see you" one of the servants who was carrying a trail of drinks said.

I went up to my room to change my dress, when someone dashed into my room. Before I could see who it was The sound of the slap was heard,

My head snapped to the side, my skin stinging where the slap landed. A red welt bloomed across my cheek,

"Vivian, what the hell," I said.

"Look at you, all weak, you think you can come to the grand ball party and look all shiny and beautiful!" Vivian said with hatred filled in her voice.

"You will never find yourself a mate Emily, you have no wolf!" Vivian yelled at me.

She walked away from my room before leaving and she gave me a deadly glare full of hate. Tears threaten to fall from my eyes as memories of my old life flashes in my head.

I stayed in my room still crying ,KNOCK, KNOCK, the door opened and Amy, my best friend, walked in, face full with worry.

"Emily, what happened?" Amy asked

I quickly robbed of the tears on my face"nothing I'm fine" I replied

"Emily! What did we say about hiding things from each other"? Amy looked at me with confusion.

"Fine," I said.

"It's my sister Vivian, she harassed me because I looked more beautiful than her today" I said with a shaky voice

"Vivian"? Amy looked furious, like she was going to do something terrible to Vivian.

Amy has always had my back ever since, she fights for me and protects me like I am her sister.

"That little she-wolf I am gonna kill her" Amy got up and was about to leave my room but I stopped her. "Amy, no don't, let her be, I don't want you to have anything to do with Vivian" I said.

"Look at your face Emily, how could she?" Amy said. "I have seen worse," I replied.

Amy came closer to me and took me into her embrace, I felt happy, Amy was always by my side.

"Who cares about the ball party anyway, I have Amy" I whispered.
