“‘Miss Eos,

          The honor of your presence has been cordially requested in attendance at The 50th Anniversary of Celestial Cove's Annual Mating Ball, which will be held at the clock's first strike of midnight. 

Be formally prepared for an enchanting night beyond your wildest imagination. 

You will not be expected nor permitted to enter along with any common folk as you are regarded as an undeniably special guest at this event. The nature of this letter serves as express permission to proceed past royal guard and receive access to the regal entrance at your earliest convenience. From here you will directly approach the grand entryway to the castle's ballroom where tonight will take place. 

Your arrival will be held in royal regard as to showcase that the time for us to finally cross paths is destined to occur and welcomed in more ways than one. May you enjoy everything you encounter on this fated night. 

                   Till we meet again,
                          I’ll be awaiting you. ’”

Till We Meet Again, Alpha

After making it a point to step around the pool of blood left behind by the creep and directly into the darkness, I had come to the realization that the both of the guards ordered to carry my dress had briefly lifted it before they allowed the door to shut behind me. I found their actions to be rather strange and I was unsure of what would make them abandon their duty just as soon as I passed through the entryway. Earlier and before we parted ways, I could've sworn Ruth had ordered them to assist me with carrying the gown. As lovely as Jadelle's creation was, it was rather unfortunate how much of a burden it would be to walk around with it on my own all night. 


Especially within this complete and utter darkness. 


How could anyone navigate through this without any source of light? Or assistance? 


There's no way in hell I'd be able to catch up to the man on the horse at this rate.
