Chapter 3

'That was the most boring class I had today.' Ara whined as we went from gym class. 'Lucky you miss.. all my classes were boring today. ' I replied. 'I just want to get home and sleep. Why is my energy so drained today though?' 'Shouldn't I be powered up and more excited?'

'Everyone with their emotions Savannah,,,, but don't worry I am right by your side till forever. 'She patted my back in a soothing way. 'Thanks Ara.. I don't know what I would have done without you.'

We changed and headed to the parking lot. I guess I am riding with her as always. We turned the music on and sang our hearts out all the ride home. Such a blessing to have a friend with the same music taste.

'Didn't you say the party is yet till six?' I asked Ara as we drove towards our compound. Several vehicles were parked at the front. 'Yeah.. maybe they are the early birds.' As we approached I noticed the vehicles were no ordinary vehicles which means they belonged to higher officials of the pack. I saw Alpha Greyson and Beta Raymond talking to my dad. I wasn't startled because it was tradition for the Alpha to be present when a member of the pack was going to get activated.

'Alpha Greyson! Beta Raymond! Father! ' I bowed to greet them. Ara did the same. 'Savannah! So good to see you. I was just about to leave.' Alpha Greyson said. 'So soon Alpha? The ceremony is yet to commence...'

'I know.. but I won't be able to attend your party cause I have to fly out of the country for an urgent matter.' I couldn't hide my disappointment. I really wanted my Alpha to be present. 'Don't worry though,,,' Alpha said after seeing the look on my face. 'My son is soon to be Alpha so he will preside over your ceremony under the guidance of Raymond and your father of course.' 'Okay Alpha... have a safe trip.' I bowed and followed Ara who was heading to the house. Sophie was in the living room talking to my mother and Luna Elsa. Greetings Luna! Mother! Sophia! we greeted them in unison. Luna Elsa is Alpha Greyson's mate. She therefore rules the pack beside the Alpha though she has matters that she takes care of alone. She is the mother of the pack.' I am so sorry dear I won't be able to participate in your ceremony.' She apologized. I felt so embarrassed the Luna being sorry to me so I quickly said, 'Don't be Luna, Alpha has already explained to me and it is okay. Thank you for stopping by. '

'Yeah.. I told Greyson it will be better to come by in person. My son Alec will come by later so that you can know more about each other before the party starts.' I nodded with a smile and headed towards my room.

'Phew!! So his name is Alec. So ironic that we don't know our future Alpha. ' I said as I laid on the bed. 'Who's we? ' Ara asked 'Speak for yourself miss,, I know my future Alpha. I saw him once or twice when I went to the pack house with my dad.' I didn't even argue. She is the extrovert among us of course she would visit the pack house to socialize. 'You better get in the bathroom and start getting ready. ' She said pushing me off the bed and taking my space. 'Why would I start getting ready now? There is still an hour or so and it always takes me minutes to get ready. ' I whined. She had this creepy look on her face then it hit me. 'No! No! I am not putting any make up on my face and definitely no dress.' I said seriously. 'Come on Savannah.. A dress is appropriate for today you have to look special.' She tried to convince me but I was not giving in this time. ' I said no dress,, this is not sweet 16 Ara and a dress would be difficult to walk in and turn when my wolf is activated.' I tried to reason with her. 'I know.. that's why I would be carrying a change of clothes for you to wear before nine.' 'Still I am not wearing a dress today.' I said and closed the bathroom door.

I ended up wearing the dress though cause Ara is just her father's daughter. They never give up easily. I have to admit the dress was cute on me. It was a royal blue off-shoulder mermaid dress which was just made for me. We had to go down and welcome the guests since the party was almost starting. Nobody was allowed in without an invitation and I was personally going to make sure of it.' Let's hurry down now.' I told Ara who was struggling with her earrings.

'See who decided to act her gender today.' My brother teased as we headed towards Ara's house where the party was being held. 'What do you mean?' Sophia asked her mate. 'Can't you see she is looking girly in that dress? She is always wearing baggy shirts and trousers looking all boyish.' He replied. 'Shut up Sam before I lock you in the house.' I retorted. Everyone was laughing at me but I was not annoyed at all. My brother always teases me whenever he gets the chance.

'Everyone kindly line up so that I can check your invitation cards.' I shouted though there were not so many people in the compound. 'Anybody with no invitation you better leave first please.. no embarrassments today.'

As it was nearing seven I was getting tired. Exactly how many teens did Ara invite since the house is almost full and people are still coming. 'Excuse you young man.' I addressed a boy who passed me without showing his invitation card. 'So rude of you to pass like that when you can clearly see me collecting cards.' I said annoyed. 'I don't have mine,,,, I might have forgotten it at the pack house.' he answered blankly.' So bold of you to think that I will take that excuse... get out and leave this place before I lose my temper.' I retorted. And why are people nearby giving me weird looks or perhaps they are also wondering how daring this man is.

'Savannah you should come and enjoy the party,,, most people are here anyways.' Ara called out to me as she descended the stairs. 'Okay,,, but after I kick out this stupid man.' I said, 'He says he forgot his card at the pack house,, can you believe him?' Ara nudged me with her elbow and tried to shush me. 'Ouch!! that hurts.' I whined 'And don't shush me miss,,, I have to teach him a lesson.' I said trying to drag him out. Why is Ara taking his side she should be helping me drag him out.

'Savannah what's going... oh!! greetings young Alpha.' I heard my brother Sam saying. 'No need to be formal Sam... just call me Alec.' the boy answered him. ''YOUNG ALPHA AS IN ALEC AS IN THEE ALPHA'S SON?'' I screamed in my mind. My brain went blank as I dropped his hand like it suddenly had bugs. I froze on my spot not knowing what to do. '' Oh Moon Goddess why would I be doomed on this special day?'' That is why people were looking at me that way,,, those bastards didn't even bother to warn me before I got myself deeper into trouble. I opened my mouth to say something but words seemed to have teamed up with my brain to betray me. I bowed quickly and rushed to Ara's room not being able to bear with the tension there.

I bumped into Sophia who was coming from the bathroom. 'Easy there gorgeous,,, what's up?' She asked. 'You don't wanna know Soph,,,, I might have asked for a death wish.' I answered frustrated. 'Talk to me,, what happened? ' I could feel she was getting impatient.

'What happened is that she was rude to Alec,,,' Ara said as she entered the room. 'Alec as in the future Alpha? ' Sophia asked. 'In my defense I didn't know he was the future Alpha.' I said innocently. 'Forget about that,, let's enjoy the party I spent a fortune on this.' Ara said. 'Yeah,, nothing bad will happen you will tell him you didn't know after the party.' Sophia added. 'Okay,, I'll` just avoid him till the ceremony time.' I said refreshing my face and joining them to go downstairs. The music was blast and people were dancing and drinking without care. I think the elders will come by later. I decided to put aside my being an introvert and enjoy myself to the fullest because I might not get another opportunity. 'Yeah!!! that's my girl people,,, I raised her well.' Ara shouted pointing at me dancing wildly on the dancing floor despite the tight dress hindering my movements.
