(Her dress ^^)

Oh, I'll show her, I'll go to that ball, I thought to myself as my fist clench. I turn and quietly walk away. I need to get a dress and a mask, though.

I walk downstairs and into the kitchen, reaching for a bowl. I grab milk and some cereal and start eating breakfast. After a few minutes, my sisters come down and start preparing their breakfast as well.

Not sparing a glance, I stand up and rush back to my room and brush my teeth and grab my books and rush back downstairs. Iris had left to go to her college classes, and I join Annie to go to school. We were both seniors and couldn't wait to get out of the hell hole known as high school. Annie wanted to be a fashion designer so after high school she was moving to up north, hours from here, plus I think she wants to get away from here she has already filled out a request to join the pack there. Though we weren't wolves, we still belonged to packs; the kingdom made it this way to make keeping up with everyone easier.

We pull into the school, and I climb out and head to my locker. On my way there, I am pushed down.

Luckily I catch myself; I hiss from the impact, I gather my things, ignoring the laughs and pick myself up and carry my self onward to my locker. Grabbing my books, I then head to my first class.

During the day, I am pushed, tripped, hit, and called names, something that always happened since I could remember.

Again, the ache in my bones is not new.

The days passed, and Saturday rolls around. My sisters had their dress, and I had made my dress and mask secretly. I wake up at lunch and decide to start on an essay that is due next week.

I finish the essay at around 7:30 and walk down to see my sisters getting dressed. I walk in the kitchen, and spot Iris had curled her hair and had so much hairspray it didn't move, she had a lot of makeup on that made her eyes pop. Her dress has so much glitter on it covers the floor. It is a baby pink dress that hugs her body and pushes her boobs up. The dress is floor length and sleeveless; she wore a silver necklace with silver earrings she puts a silver mask on that only covers around her eyes. I turn, hearing Annie walk in. She has a scarlet dress that hugs her body till it got to her waist; it then flows out. Annie has natural makeup, and her short curly hair is tamed at the best of her ability, but Annie pulls it off. She has a green mask covering her forehead and eyes.

She smiles at me; My mother then steps in with a yellow dress that hung on her body; my father had her hand and wore a suit with a yellow tie.

I nod at them as they say their farewell, my mother threatening me if I leave the house, as they slip their masks on and go, I wait a few seconds, bouncing on my heels, then race up the stairs to my room and start curling my hair in loose curls.

I then do my eye makeup in a smokey eye with a cat-eye eyeliner. I apply mascara and dark red lip stainer as I rush to my bed and throw my dress on. It hugs my curves then flows out. I then put on my nude lace butterfly mask and slip on my white gloves that had D.N.B on the wrist, my initials. I slip on my nude flats and spray some scent masking spray everyone else would be wearing and leave the room, and head downstairs. I look at the clock that reads 9:40. Well, guess I should make an entrance. I teleport and end up in front of the grand hall.

I smile, realizing I did it right fist-bumping the air, that would be embarrassing if anyone saw, I quickly look around and let a breath of relief out.

Looking at the big closed doors, I sigh as I climb the stairs and open the door. I head through the entrance hall, hearing the music. I reach the double doors and take a deep breath, should I really do this?.
I then, without a second thought, push the doors open. Everyone's head snaps to me as I suck in a breath. I freeze for about twenty seconds then look around, seeing a few glares from the girls and the lustful looks from the men.

They were all in masks in a colorful whirl of dresses and suits.

Then a thought occurs. How were we supposed to know who the king is? I want to stay as far away from him as possible. But I don't know what he looks like then again that didn't matter since he would be wearing a mask. But I could at least tell by his hair.

If he had blonde hair stay away from all blondes if he had black hair stay away from all people with black hair.

I sigh as slowly the music starts as the doors close behind me, and people gradually stop staring. I don't know what to do. I know I had to get away from the entrance, so I walk straight into the crowd of people to drown in the dresses and masks of people oblivious but curious about each other's identity.

A few songs go through; most people dance while I try not to look awkward; I then spot my sister Annie at the food bar. Deciding I should probably stay away from my family, I step back and end up bumping into someone. Turning around, I'm met with bright red eyes surrounded by a grey mask. He has jet black hair that swirls up and back; his face is freshly shaved, but that is all I can see. The man is tall, and my goddess is he built. He looks so sharp and holds so much power. I then blink and breath when my lungs finally demand air. His forehead scrunches up as he watches me calculating.

I step back, "Uh I-I, I'm sorry " My voice comes out shaky.

He nods as he then demands "dance with me" before I can protest, he has his arm around my waist, pulling me close and his hand in mine as we dance across the floor.

I look around to see glares from women as slowly the whole place pays attention to us.

By the end of the song I could feel sparks dance across my skin around the area he is touching me, a pull in my chest forms, wanting to be closer to him, we land  in front of the stairs where the thrones sit That holds the former king and queen, they watch us with a raised brow. I gasp as I look up into the man's eyes as everything stops, his head lowers towards mine, our noses pass each other, and our lips meet, and instantly, I know.

He is my mate. I don't know who he is, but I'm sure he is about to let me know.

He breaks the kiss as he backs up, keeping me close as The man rips off his mask, and he growls, "Mine." The growl sends a shiver down my spine.

His breathtaking face comes into view — people around gasps as some yells. "The Alpha King has found his mate," I gasp. This man in front of me is Bain Alexander Remington, the King.

My sister's words run through my mind of my mate, rejecting me.

Of course, he will reject me once he finds out I'm a glitch, He is a king, he will not want a glitch as a queen, the king reaches for me as I step back out of his grasp as he growls. I then look around as I dash into the crowd.

Girls make way for me; I hear a low dangerous growl as someone grabs my hand. I wiggle my hand out, leaving the glove in the person's grasp as I run for the exit. I try to teleport, but it isn't working.

I'm glitching!

I am almost to the door when someone grabs my upper arm. I am turned and slammed into a hard chest. Looking up, I meet the eyes of my mate. I take a sharp intake of breath when I see how black his eyes are. I whimper as his grip tightens. "Everybody out!!" He yells.

And just like that, people seem to disappear.

My mask is still on hiding my face. "You ran," the king growls, "without giving me your name." He adds.

Ah yes, how dare I not give you my name before running away, because that makes sense.

"But most of all, you ran ..from your mate!" He growls, "Don't you ever run from me. Ever," He growls, his eyes narrow down at me. I gulp, my voice seems to disappear as he asks, "What is your name kitten" he purrs. I shiver as my eyes close.

What a mood change.

I snap my eyes back open as his nose brushes against my skin. "You need to wash this spray off so I can smell your scent," he growls.

I suddenly teleport, I scream as I realize I'm falling. I land in thick snow. A sigh escapes my mouth, and the stinging cold from the snow attacks my skin. Picking my head up and looking around to take in the scene, it is dark, and I can't place where I am.

Well, shit, I tell you my luck is just so great.

I wrap my arms around my self as I stand up. "Hello!" I yell. Obviously, it's the smart thing to do.

I yell again but get no response. I then start walking the snow going to the middle of my shin. Teleporting was a bad idea, though it wasn't much of an idea seeing as I had no control.

After a bit of walking, I stumble upon a cabin. "Oh, thank you, Moon Goddess, " I whisper to myself as I run towards the cabin with only the snow slowing me down. I reach the steps of the cabin and quickly walk up them. I knock on the door and wait, jumping from foot to foot. After a few minutes, I place my hand on the doorknob and turn it harshly. The door opens as I push it.

It is cold in the house but not as severe as it is outside. I shut the door to stop the wind from attacking my skin as I lean on the door and then look around the cabin.

It looks homey, a scent lingers, but it is old, so I can't place it. I push myself off the door and walk towards the right side of the house that holds the living room area. A couch sits in front of a fireplace. The fireplace has stacks of wood, so I grab some and throw it in there. I find a match and scrape it across the floor, making a small fire start as I throw it in the fireplace. My luck is with me as the whole thing catches ablaze, sending warmth to me. I sigh in content as the fire brings heat to my body.

I lay down on the floor in front of the fireplace and close my eyes.

My body is warm, but my heart is cold.
