had an idea. Instead of leaving your hair curly. We straighten it!" I inhaled and looked her in her eyes. "Don't burn my hair off like that girl on Instagram." She laughed and nodded her head at me. "Here, I made you a sandwich. Turkey cheese, everything in between oh and extra banana peppers, just the way your weird ass likes it." I laughed and took it from her, she handed me the chips. Opening the sandwich, I placed the chips on the sandwich before eating it. "What's a big mac?" I shrugged my shoulders at her as she spoke again. "Louis said that he eats it when he and the other delta's go to the cities." I took a sip of the bottled water before speaking. "Well, we have to go through the city to get the Mating Ball tonight. on our way back we will have a big mac or what ever the hell it is." She laughed as she finished her chips. She plugged in the straightener and ushered me over.

"My ear! You burned my ear!" I yelled as she finished my hair. "You are never to touch my bloody hair again." Shrugging she asked me another question. "Are you going to wear the dress I got you before?" I nodded at her as she picked it up. It would no doubt be a size or two smaller then my size now. "Come on. We got to finish up before they kill us."

"I can't believe you!"

"I can't believe you!"

I laughed as I walked down the stairs. Kol and Kai sat on the couch, Mikah and Mekeel were arguing. My mother Zafara's were chatting and Nick stood in the corner. Downing the Bourbon. Me and Zafara stood at the bottom of the stairs. "Oh my god. You look beautiful Jameela." My mother was gushing. Kai stood up and held of two ties. "The black one."

I grabbed Nicks flask from his hand and walked to the front door. Kol stood next to Kai as we went to walk down the steps and to the car. Wait!" My mom walked down the stairs. "Me and Jade are going to be riding in a different car. I want you to wear these." She handed me a necklace with red rubies lining the chain. I gave my mom a smile and held up my hair as she put it on me. "Thank you." She nodded before shoving me into the car.

"I hate long car rides."

"This place is huge. Do they expect me to find one person in a sea of thousands?" I said as I stood next to our car. "Kai rubbed my shoulder and held his arm for me to grab. I fixed the silk wrap and took his elbow. I looked over at Kol. I chuckled and took his hand in mine. "Trust me Meela, You'll know." I looked as Kai and felt my stomach tense. "That doesn't help. And what the hell is going on with my stomach?" He rose a brow before responding. "Butterflies?" He suggested. I looked at him like he was crazy before I started to walk ahead to mom. "Ready?" She asked. "Fuck no." She smiled and faced forward as she walked up to the house. "That's my girl." I took each stair and prayed I didn't bust my whole face. "Jesus, Why couldn't I have just worn combat boots. What happens if there's a fight. I'm going to look like Bambi's deranged newborn sister, wobbling around like a freak." I said. The last thing I wanted to do was to shame my pack. "Hey get your shit together. Your Jameela. Walk in those heels, like your going to Azreil's funeral!" Zafara hissed from behind me. She was right. I was psyching myself out for nothing. I took a deep breath, Which I was doing a lot today, and looked ahead of me instead of at my feet and kept my face straight. "That's my girl." A smirk broke onto my face as we reached the top of the stairs.

"Madden." My mother spoke as if she was a queen. We walked passed him and onto an impeccable marble floor. Tables and chairs decorated with bright red orchids. It was beautiful. Everyone looked over at us and at my mother. Murmurs swept across the room. We were ranked second best, and our Alpha had just fallen, yet we stood here like we hadn't just lost our front. My mother ignored everyone and walked to the table with our name labeled on it. Kol pulled out my chair for me and waited for me and the other females to sit before him and the rest of the males sat. Far sat next to me and pulled out her phone from her diamond clustered clutch. I heard gasps and talk of the highest ranked pack having just shown up. Standing I grabbed Zafara and told my mom we were going to the bathroom. She nodded as she sipped her wine. She looked regal. She was the strongest women I knew. To loose your life long partner, cry your eyes out and still be able to keep your makeup from smudging. Then on top of it come here and look at everyone as if they were peasants. I truly envied her. She gave me a look and sent my a mindlink.

Love you, M. Show em' who's daughter you are. Make your father proud.

I nodded at her. I intended to do just that. Turning I walked with Far. Her dress clung to every curve and dip her body had. The chest was open in the shape of a long triangle. I walked up the grand stair case that was directly across from the entrance. I sighed as we reach the bathroom. I snatched a glass off of a tray someone was carrying. I sipped it and gave it a smile. "Jack, just what I need." I said as I walked into the bathroom. The pristine white tiles matched the white walls. There wasn't a speck of dirt or dust on anything. I handed her the two lipsticks. She smiled and touched up my lips. She dropped the lipstick. I looked at her like she was crazy, "You okay?"

"Yea I'm good. Just nervous. Ya know." I nodded at her. I took the two tubes and dropped them in my gold bag. I was nervous. I hated that I was but hell I was. I clutched the crystal glass in my hand before downing the rest of its contents. The smooth liquid caressed my throat as it slid down. "Like silk." I said as I set the glass down. She held up a flask, I instantly recognized as Nick's. "Forgot this in the car."

"Life saver much." She sipped it before handing it to me in disgusting. I tipped it back and took a  swig. She chuckled before putting it back in her bag. I laughed and opened the door. we slipped out. We stood on the balcony, looking over at the entire room and at everyone. Kol looked like he was about to claw Kai's face off. Just about Everywhere looked everyone had found there mate or were dancing. I was about to speak but I felt Zafara dig her nails into my arm. "Mate." My body turned to her as she frantically looked around for the source. "Hey breath." I said seeing when she looked like she was starting to hyperventilating. I grabbed her but was shoved. Kai rushed up the stairs when he spotted us. I went to grab her again but Kai held me back. "Don't! You can't disturb her. Her wolf is in control." I furrowed my brows. "We've been here four seconds." I said. "Shouldn't we follow her?" I asked. "Unless you want to see something rather intimate once they find each other I suggest we stay here." He said as she rushed out of the house. I sat on a couch that was against the wall. "What's wrong?" He questioned me. "Honestly, I'm nervous. I don't want to meet him. Hell I don't want a mate period, but," I paused. I didn't want to admit it out loud. I'd been denying it for a while now. "A part of you is excited. Your anxious but it's exciting." I frowned at him and spoke up. "Why do you know everything?" I said, slightly annoyed. "I've been through all of this Meela." sadness suddenly weighed heavy on me. "Let's go. It's almost time for the dance. Can't believe I'm escorting my baby sister this damn Mating Ball." Laughing, I walked down the stairs. My hand on his shoulder.

"I need a drink." He said as a girl walked up to him. "My name is-" He caught her off, "I don't give a shit. I'm not your mate." He said as he kept walking. "Keep it moving and keep your head up. Make it look like you turned him down." She smiled at me and walked away. "Jack ass." I hissed at him. "Where is Far?" Jade asked. "Repeating 'Mate' over and over again as she sniffs him out." Her mother smiled widely. My mother and her talked lowly and tried to remain serious but they kept giggling every now and again. Snatching Far's phone off of the table I swiped through her pictures. A video of me jumping into the swimming hole popped up. I smiled and kept going. Hundreds upon hundreds of pictures of herself were there. I clicked out of it and shut off the phone. The room went silent and everyone stood and stared at King. He gave a crap speech about a crap honor it was and said something about a crap dance. Well the dance wasn't crap actually. "Let's go." My mother stood and followed us she watched with jade from afar. Far scurried in with the largest smile it made me grimace. "You okay?" I said as we stood in a line opposite of the men. She nodded so hard for a second I though her head would pop off and roll around on the floor. "Still crushing on Kai?" She smiled wider then I thought possible. "Of course." I laughed as the music played. "He's perfect Meela." She said as we raised our right hands. I smiled, feeling happiness in my core. It was her's I got hit with a wave of dizziness before I regained composer. I took three steps towards Kai. He gave a reassuring smile as we walked up to each other.

As soon as we were off the dance floor I was being dragged. I mean like rag doll dragging. "Jesus, he better be Jesus." I hissed. "He's perfect. He is just!" I looked at her like she was crazy. "Wow, Lets go tell your mom!" I said like it was the best Idea. "Yes!" She said as she ran off. "I need this more then they do." I said as I took a glass of Champagne and drank it in one go. I set it on the tray and took the second and walked to my table. I sat down and acted as if I was listening, nodding when I needed to. I wondered if he was here or if he was even coming. Just as I was about to speak up and ask her mates name, it hit me. I closed my eyes. I inhaled the succulent smell of rain and vanilla. Vanilla suddenly seemed so wanton. "Mia." My eyes shot open. I knew they were a dark green. I turned my head fast, my hair whipping around and stood to my feet. I gripped my chair looked around. It felt as if fire was burning around me. Barely touching me. But when I looked to the entrance and seen him, and made eye contact it was like my body exploded into a million pieces. It felt as if fire was trailing my skin. It took all of the will power I had not to let my
