"I'm so glad Alpha Keegan agreed. This would be the first party I'll ever attend as a guest and not a maid. I feel so great about it." I squeaked again.
"I feel great about it too. Now you know that my plan works out perfectly well? Just by batting those beautiful lashes, he agreed immediately. He wouldn't dare to not agree to anything you ask him for when you finally steal his heart." She chuckled.
"You're being dramatic." I rolled my eyes at her. "I'm certain he had intentions of waiting for the party, he only used my request as an excuse."
She scoffed and walked over to her wardrobe. " Whatever makes you sleep at night. I have this beautiful dress you'll need to try on."
"A dress? Why?"
"I can't let you go to the party wearing whatever you call your best clothes. I'm sorry but sweetheart, you don't have good clothes. I'll make sure to stuff good clothes into your bag before you leave."
"Don't do that. It's against my pack rules to accept clothes from others, especially others in other packs. I only have the right to my pack members' used clothes, and they usually don't give me, they prefer to burn them."
"And that makes any sense to you?"
I shrugged. "I'm fine with it. I've lived more than a decade of my life like that."
"You'll wear this dress." She pulled a red dress out and dropped it on the bed.
"I don't think I can."
"You're not in your pack. You won't be punished for wearing my dress to the party."
"Chloe, I'll-"
"No." she shushed me. "The party starts soon. Let's get you ready." She forced me to take the dress.
I left for the bathroom and wore the red dress. It hugged my body in a nice way and had a slit that ran all the way to the middle of my thigh. It also showed a decent amount of my cleavage and had tiny spaghetti straps. I had to admit I liked it.
Chloe pulled me out and did my makeup for me then matched my dressing with silver slippers since I couldn't wear heels.
"Rate my work!" she turned the chair so I could finally view my reflection in the mirror.
"Who the heck is that? Definitely not me. I look way too good to be me." I shook my head.
Her cheeks flushed red with a blush. "That means my work is perfect!"
"Gosh, I love this. This is the first time I'll ever wear makeup. I feel good about myself now, like a whole new person. I wished they'd let me wear makeup. Mrs. Bea would kill me if she saw makeup on me." I sighed.
"Girl, forget about everything for tonight and just have fun. Dance the night away, drink your life out, kiss as many guys as you'd like, it's just for tonight. You'll return to your fucking bondage tomorrow." She rolled her eyes.
"You're right."
I waited for her to be ready before heading downstairs to the hall.
I felt like entering the ground as people stared at me. I bumped into Mason and his eyes widened when he saw me, making me tremble under his gaze. Of course, Chloe saved me by pulling me towards the speakers to dance to the loud music that erupted from it.
I noticed Alpha Keegan staring at me from across the hall. As expected, he was sitting alone. He also had the same awe in his eyes as Mason.
"Can you see Mr. Heartless staring at you?" she shouted over the loud music. He can't take his eyes off you." She laughed. Like he could hear her, he averted his gaze from me.
After about thirty minutes of Chloe dancing crazily while I only moved my waist slowly in rhythm to the music, She poured a glass of alcohol and gulped it. " you should have some too." She shouted.
"No way!" I yelled back. "I can't take the risk."
"Girl, don't act all boring. You're a werewolf, you can't get drunk. Just enjoy yourself for tonight." She pulled me away again to a section where a man served different kinds of drinks behind a counter with high chairs in front of the counter.
"Three glasses." She sat on one of the high chairs while I sat on another beside hers.
The man served three glasses of patently alcoholic drinks.
"Here. Have it." She landed a glass over to me. I was reluctant to drink it. "This would be your first and definitely your last one. Don't regret that you never tried it."
"You're right. I need to enliven myself tonight." I took a gulp of the glass. It tasted strange at first, but when it hit my throat, the burning sensation filled my entire body with bliss. "Wow, I love this. I can't get drunk, right?"
"Definitely. I'm an omega too, I never get drunk." She took another glass.
I grinned and took a long gulp of the remnant in my glass.
"Good girl! One more!" she screamed.
I took the glass and chugged it down at once.
"Two more cups, bartender." She squeaked, dancing to the music while flailing her arms in the air.
The man served us two more cups and we chugged our glasses together.
"Cheers! Last to finish her glass is first loser." She challenged. We both gulped our drinks and dropped it at the same time, bursting into laughter. "I guess it's draw. One more glass."
We drank a few more glasses till I began to feel giddy.
"You said I can't be drunk, right?" I asked her, holding the side of my head.
"Definitely not. We Werewolves have a strong body system that can fight against drunkenness." She assured me, taking another glass.
"Okay, maybe I'm just really tired." "Hey!" She snapped, jerking her head in the direction of Alpha Keegan. "your Alpha wouldn't stop staring at you. Of course you look really dashing. I think now would be a perfect time to flirt with him. Seduce the damn asshole." She smirked.
"You're right." I jumped to my feet and staggered to Alpha Keegan, feeling really unsteady while trying to convince myself that I wasn't drunk.
"Hey, you!" I sat beside him on the couch-like two- sitter chair and chuckled for no good reason, wrapping my arm around his neck. "You're so boring." I laughed again. He had a frown on that'd have normally scared me, but I didn't care. His frown made me laugh hard again.
"Gosh, you look so handsome when you frown. You should smile more, maybe you won't look so grumpy." I giggled and poked his nose, crossing one of my leg over the other and over leg, showing off my thigh,; i fluttered my lashes at him and started tracing my fingers along his face.
He puckered his face at me and yanked my hand from his face. "Are you out of your mind? Do you realize what you're doing?"
"Alpha..." I shook my head and leaned towards him, " let's dance. What do you think?" I nibbled on my lower lip, staring at his lips and the strong urge to run my fingers around it and kiss him ran through me. "Get out." he said in a low voice. For some reason, I laughed again. "Now!" he barked, causing me to flinch from him and snap back to my senses.
"I'm sorry." I apologized and returned to Chloe, pouting "He yelled at me.".
"That's his problem. Let him be tonight. There are so many men around today. Have fun. Bartender, pour one more glass for her." I accepted the glass from the bartender and downed it, as well as one more glass.
"Hey beautiful." Vladimir said, walking up to me and requested for a glass of tequila from the man. "Hey handsome," I winked at him and wiggled my fingers. What was wrong with me? It felt like someone else was taking over my body. He took a gulp of his glass, flashing me a boyish grin.
"It's a beautiful occasion tonight and your glamour is stealing my attention. I feel like I'm losing my mind and getting lost in your beauty."
"Oh, stop teasing me." I waved a hand over my face, feeling heat flush to my cheeks as I crossed my legs again, showing off my thigh through the slit "I'm damn serious. You look sexy in this dress, you're
on fire." He eyes me from head to toe and whistled." Do you want to dance?"
"Why not?" I dropped my glass on the counter.
He did the same and held my hand, leading me to the center of the hall. His hands automatically went to my waist and mine stayed on his shoulders as I swayed my hips in rhythm with the fast beat on the music, a little too extra than I'd normally dance.

I couldn't keep my eyes off the omega tonight. She looked... beautiful than normal. It was the first time I had ever seen her in makeup and in a good dress rather than the rags she called clothes.
I found myself straining my ears to listen to her voice, they sounded like the only music to my ears. When Chloe had pointed out that I was staring, I had to take my gaze off her, still maintaining focus to their discussion. I continued staring at her as she went to the bar section and Chloe convinced her to drink. They were in something like a competition in who was going to drink faster.
When Chlue pointed out that I was staring again and she asked her to seduce the damn asshole, which me, it made my head feel like it exploded and I took my anger out on the omega.
Now Vladimir took advantage of that and led her to the dance floor, fueling my frustration. I knew Vladimir had the intention to have her because he assumed she belonged to me and he only wanted to steal my woman.
'How dare he touch our mate's waist like that?' Drex growled.
'She's just our omega.'
I prevented him for gaining control and acting stupid and possessive of her again, focusing on other things except her.
"Wow, you dance really well." Vladimir commented. "You think?" she giggled, gaining my attention again. "I don't think I've ever danced with a man before." "I guess I have the honor of being the first then." He smirked down at her, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulled her to his chest till there was no gap between them. "You know, you'll leave soon, yet we didn't have the chance to explore each other."
"My annoying Alpha wants to keep me in his bondange." She pouted.
"That explains why you were avoiding me?"
"Why else would I avoid such a beautiful sugar butterfly cake like you?" She laughed again.
"You're definitely drunk." He smirked in amusement. "Perfect." "You're perfect."
"Definitely." He brushed her ash hair behind her ear, his eyes fixed on her lips.
'He's certainly not going to kiss our mate, is he?'
Drex was heating up with fury.
'He wouldn't dare.' My fists also clenched as I watched him patiently.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" She grinned, still trying to dance in his tight embrace. "You're just so irrestible tonight." He lowered his head and buried his nose in her neck, "you smell
really beautiful." He planted a kiss on her neck. That equally pissed Drex and I off.
"That's it!' Drex almost took full control till I acted on my own and stormed to them, pulling my omega from Vladimir's grip.
"Are you crazy? Are you trying to take advantage of her drunken state?" I didn't want to create a drama by yelling.
"Were you eavesdropping again?" his smirk became more devious. "Why? Are you jealous? It's not like she's your mate."
"She's my omega. Stay away from her if you don't want to have your bones broken before tomorrow."
"It's not my fault she likes me more than you." He simpered.
I held myself and Drex back from punching his nose till it bled. "Let's go." I pulled the omega with me. She was following me till we got to the couch and she dropped on it, folding her arms and shaking her head, pouting like a child.
"Don't piss me off and come with me right now!" I demanded.
"Or what?" She stuck her nose in the air, shaking her head and bursting into laughter again. "You're even so weak against alcohol?" I shook my head at her and scooped her in my arms.
She squeaked but held my shoulders. "Are you abducting me?" Her eyes widened.
"Don't speak."
She fake-zipped her mouth with her fingers. I rolled my eyes at her and carried her to my room, dropping her to sit on the couch.
"Come," she wiggled her fingers, indicating that I walked over to her. Reluctantly, I did. "Closer." I rolled my eyes but crouched beside her, our faces were only a few inches apart. "How on Earth are you so handsome? Isn't that against the rules of the pack?" she burst into laughter again, placing her hands on my shoulder and dug her fingers into my hair.
I chuckled for probably the first time this year. "If it is, then it should also be against the rules of the pack for someone to be as beautiful as you are." That was definitely Drex in control.
'How dare you blame me for your own words?' Drex scoffed.
"Then I'll be innocent. I'm so ugly, I-I can't... even..." her eyes rolled backwards as he dropped her head on the arm of the couch.
For some reason, I placed her legs over the other arm of the couch and covered her with a duvet. "You're so annoying." She mumbled, folding into a ball while her eyeballs moved around till they finally shut. I thought she had slept until she spoke again, " now I'll return to the pack house tomorrow." her eyes were still closed as tears rolled down her face. "My life would be a mess again. I don't want to go back, I don't want to be with that arrogant Alpha. I like it here. That man is nothing but evil. The entire pack is evil to me." She sobbed in her sleepy state.
Her muttering made me feel a pang in an organ in my chest, definitely not my heart: I was heartless. Was it guilt? Why did I care about her feelings? She's just an ordinary omega.
