Part 9

Sky pov

When my friends and the rest of my brothers and sisters heard that, they all came closer. Just as I was about to walk, Colin and Theo grabbed my arms and pulled me back to them, keeping me close to them for comfort and also to keep me from running away. The rest of them then formed a circle around us so that I didn’t see all the people, just them. I calmed down a little at that. I was grateful for my friends and my family.

“No, you are going to come with us to the ball and we all are going to enjoy ourselves and we are not going to leave your side” Rei said. “Rei is right, we all are going to go and enjoy ourselves” Lilac said. “I am also afraid of what might happen, but I know I don’t have to be afraid because I have everyone here supporting us” Lilac said. “And no one will mess with anyone, we will prevent it” Isa said. “Everyone of us will stick together tonight” Al said. “So come on and let’s go and enjoy our night” Sammy said.

“They are right Sky; we might be nervous and afraid but let’s go and enjoy ourselves for one night” Layla said. “If they show up, we will handle them” Emily said. “I agree with Emily, if they dare show up and cause trouble, we will handle them just like we always do” Kia said. “Yeah, and you don’t really have anything to worry about because you are one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful girl here, so everyone will be jealous of you” Isa said to me. I sighed.

“I know you guys mean well and everything, but you guys also have to search for your mates” I replied. “So, you can’t babysit me” I said while looking down at the ground. “If we find our mates, then we will ask them to come sit with us at our table, we are not leaving you alone” Theo said. “Pequeño, I think I speak for everyone, we will find our mates when we find them, if we don’t find them tonight, then we don’ find them tonight, but I won’t leave you alone and let you have a panic attack or a nervous breakdown, so we will find our mates at the right time” Shaun said. “I agree, because we know you need us tonight” Theo said. These siblings and friends of mine know me to well.

“Yeah, I agree with Shaun, I don’t mind finding them tonight, but I can still wait for them” Colin said. Everyone then nodded their heads in agreement. “But…” I started. “No if’s, ands, or butts” Emma replied. “Sky, listen to our family and friends, even if they leave us, which we both know, that they won’t do, I will still be with you and if we really don’t like it, we can always leave early” Layla said to me.

“But please just check it out to see if we can enjoy it” she said. I thought about what everyone said. I then nodded my head. “Okay, let’s do it, but only if you guys promise not to leave my side” I replied. “We promise” they replied. “Okay then let’s go” I said. Shaun then came and stood in front of me. “Are you sure you are okay, are you feeling like you are having a panic attack or a nervous breakdown” he asked. “You know when you feel like that you have to tell us, so that we can help you” he said seriously. I smiled at him.

“Shaun I am fine at the moment, a little nervous because of the many people that are here, but I will be fine as long as I have you guys by my side” I replied with a smile on my face, while looking at my brothers, sisters, and my friends. They all looked at me for a while. “Okay then let’s go” Jackson said. We all then walked to my parents who were standing a few feet away from us.

“We will be fine” Layla said. “I hope you are right Layla” I said to them. While walking to our parents who stood and waited at the entrance, my submissive omega side and all my worries went out the window and I become a whole new angry person that only happens when I really don’t like a person or people. Why because… “Why didn’t you leave that thing in the basement at the old pack house, where that thing belongs” Anna my one cousin from my mother’s side said. “Yeah, you guys could’ve just forgotten her there” Mina said.

“What thing are you talking about, is it something dangerous” Kia asked while looking around for the thing that she is talking about. All of us tried to keep our laughter in. “Because I hope that you are not talking about Sky, my SISTER” Emily said, angrily at her. Anna, her brother, and the rest their group laughed at that. “It is actually funny how you still accept her as your sister, even after knowing that she is a freak” Stephan, Anna’s brother said. “And you guys know that she belongs in a basement where no one will ever have to see her or look at her” Anna said while laughing.

“And she is just a mate less freak and if you keep hanging out with her and accept her, you will become just as mate less and she is” Stephan said to my siblings and friends. “I don’t even know why you guys are still friends with her, because it is her fault that you guys have not yet found your mates” one of their friends said. They can insult me all they want; they can say I am mate less all they want. They can even beat me, if they have the guts, because they know I will fight back and not stand down, but I don’t tolerate anyone saying that to my friends or my family, then it gets personal. So, when she said that, that was my last straw.

“What did they just say” Layla asked, and she started to growl. “Calm down Layla, we can’t shift today” I said to her just as angry. “I will handle them” I added. I looked at my cousins and just kept laughing at what they said as if it was the funniest thing they ever heard. I was angry, no scratched that, I was livid at what I just heard, I walked to my cousins, and I slapped both of them in their face. After I did that, I told them their fortune.

“You can say I am mate less all you want, you can say I am a thing that belongs in the basement all you want, you can even try to hit me if you want…” I started angrily. I could hear everyone behind me snickering or trying to keep their laughter in, probably because of their shocked faces that I just dared to slap them. And because they know what is coming and they know that my cousins just pushed me to far.

I can understand the shock because I know how to fight, yes, I know I can beat most Alpha’s in a fight, yes, but I have never ever risen my hand to any of my family members, whether I like them or not, if it was not a practice match. But today I just lost it. I could see that my cousins were getting angry at me and before they could say anything or do anything I continued with what I was saying.

“But don’t you dare say that my friends and that my sibling are mate less, because I know for a fact that each one of them has the most beautiful or handsome, most amazing mate that there can be, that their mates will love and cherish the for who they are and treat them with respect” I replied. “You lot are just jealous of them because if you say that they are mate less, then you guys are just as mate less as they are” I said.

“If you ever find your mate, I will feel sorry for them, because they have to live and love a jealous and selfish person like you lot, they won’t have a loving and warm mate to love them because your nose is so high in the air that you won’t even notice them” I said while pointing my finger at them. “I already feel very sorry for your mates, because they will have to deal with your judging butts” I said to them. I then started to walk, and I walked right past them to my parents.

I almost burst out laughing at the shock on their faces, but I tried to keep it in. I could hear my siblings and my friends laughing at what I just said, and probable what I just did. They didn’t’ even try to hide their laughter anymore. When we got near my parents, I could see that my father was angry and that my mother was also angry, but she was still trying to calm my father down. I guess they met my uncles and aunties and that they said something which my father didn’t like. “Hey guys, are you guys okay, you took a while before getting here” my mother asked us when we came to a standstill next to them.

“We saw that you met your cousins” my father said angrily. “Yeah, we are alright, Sky handled them like the pro she is” Sebastian said. “You guys should’ve seen her, it was amazing” Shaun said. “Of course she was, we thought her” Kia said. We all laughed at that. We then looked at my parents. “Are you guys alright Aunty S” Al asked my parents. My mother sighed. “Yes, we are alright, we just had some words with some pack members” my mother replied. “Yes, I would have said a lot more to them if you hadn’t stopped me” my father said to my mother. “I know mi amor, but today is not the right time or the right place to handle them that is why I stopped you because today is supposed to be a happy day” my mother replied and kissed my father on his cheek.

My heart dropped. I know what pack members they are talking about, and I know why they had words with them. “Don’t be sad Sky, it is not your fault” my father said. I just smiled at my father and nodded my head. “Okay then let’s go inside” my mother said. We then nodded our heads and followed the parents to the entrance. When we got to the entrance, we stood in the long line to go inside. It took us about 10 minutes before we were at the front of the line.

“Why did I decide to wear high heels today and not a pair of comfy sneakers” I moaned somewhat in pain, while waiting in the entrance line. Everyone laughed at me. “Well, you are not used to high heels, that is why you are in somewhat pain” Emily said. When they finally got to the front of the line. The guards at the front stopped us. First, we thought that something was wrong.

“Alpha Delgado and Luna Delgado, Alpha King Garcia and Luna Garcia wish to talk to you before you go in, but they said the rest of your group can go and wait inside for you guys” the one guard said. “That’s fine” my father replied. My parents then followed the one guard and the other guard let us inside the palace. Let me just tell you, the palace was huge on the outside but on the inside it was enormous. But it was beautiful. We all walked until we were inside the ballroom, where everyone was gathered. If I could give a guess the ballroom could maybe hold 30 thousand wolves and there would still be space left.

Inside the ballroom, there were tables against the walls with different kinds of finger foods, different kinds of drinks and everything else you could think of. Then there was a big space in the middle of the floor where the dance floor was. Next to the stage there was a space closed off for the Alpha King and his family and close friends. And on the rest of the floor there were tables that could hold almost 20 to 30 wolves per table. While looking over everything and over the tables of food I saw something that I like. And I know that is where I want to go.
