Chapter-43: The ball
"Am I going too?" Allison asked as she stared at the red coloured ball gown with golden shimmering spilled on it placed on her bed. Ashina smirked at her before walking towards her dressing table.
Ashina came into her room in the evening after getting ready for the party and bringing her dress.
"Exactly and You would definitely be going to kill someone. I wonder why Lyceon chose Red!"
Allison scowled at her comment when she gasped. "Oh! It's his favourite colour. Well, you should wear it because He is going to introduce you to some important folks tonight. So basically it would be your night." Ashina grinned with her pearly teeth and pulled some diamond studs out of the box in her drawer.
Allison groaned in protest.
"Can't I avoid going there? I don't have any interest In the ball parties. And why does He want to introduce me and as what?"
"Easy girl! You can't avoid it because Lyceon will hop you on his shoulder to take you there if He has to do that. You are his date tonight. So.... get ready!!"
And then she made Allison wear the dress ignoring her tantrums and did her hairdo. She tucked her loose curls on one side.
"Please don't do that glamorous makeup and smokey eyes! I hate it!" Allison pleaded with her. Ashina rolled her eyes and did natural makeup as per her wishes. "Can I take it off for tonight. You can...."
"No!" Allison interrupted her as she touched her mother's necklace around her neck. Ashina looked at her in the mirror. She wanted her to wear a diamond necklace to match the dress after taking off the green pendant Allison's mother gifted her.
"It's dear to me. A precious gift from my deceased mother." Allison whispered, recalling her mother's beautiful face. Ashina nodded and asked her to wear the stud only. Allison looked at her reflection in the mirror to see she looked like a Disney princess!
"Or red velvet cake which everyone would want to taste." Ashina smirked and winked at her as usual, reading her thoughts. Allison shook her head but suddenly a thought crossed her mind.
"Ashina, if the packs from the south would come there to attend the party?"
"Possibly. Nobody is banned though but there will be high security as the few vampires are from that side and they might want to create chaos." She replied.
"So, My pack... I mean my former pack would also come?" She asked hesitantly, recalling the message from Nora and tensed about what she had planned. Did she know about the party? Allison wondered if Alpha Ralph would also come and attend the ball with his pack's unmated members.
How would he react if he saw me?
"I can't say anything. But you should forget about them, Allison. It was your pack but not now. Dark walkers kingdom is your home now!" Allison didn't like her statement but she was not telling her wrong. It was a bitter truth that was enforced on Allison.
Soon Rebecca and others joined them. She was wearing a bottle green gown and looked like a beautiful angel. Allison almost felt empathy for her and her feelings towards Lyceon.
Ashina was cladded in a purple glittering gown with a low neck showing her perfect cleavage. Allison wondered why she hadn't found a lover or her mate? She was such a beauty, hard to resist. "The three gorgeous mermaids." Aiden whistled, smirking at them.
"How many you are going to slay today, women!" He asked with a fake gasp.
"Not much but you will be the number twenty, my love!" Rebecca sensually whispered before grabbing his tie, pulling him close and showing her forked tongue out. His face distorted into discomfort.

"Fuck Becca! Stay fucking away!" He pushed her slightly. Allison giggled at his gagged up face. Caden coughed to control his laugh.
"Gorgeous things sometimes become your downfall, boys!" Ashina patted his cheek before they walked out. Caden and Aiden had been Lyceon's best warriors, sons of his father's gamma.
After an hour, they reached the Golden masked Pride where the ball was organised and hosted by the Alpha werecat.
Allison wanted to know why Lyceon didn't come with them but she didn't dare to ask anyone. Aztec was also not there. Maybe they were on their important mission!
She shrugged her shoulders and walked inside the ball party hall with others. A tall woman in black dress with a side slit walked to them. The cat eyeliner grooming her black eyes, her lips painted red and high cheeks were giving her cunning vibes. She seemed to be in her late thirties. She kissed Ashina's cheeks.
"Allison, this is Alpha Mellina, the very famous and strongest one in her kind." Allison greeted the werecat with a respective smile. Mellina's eyes sharpened just like a cat as she looked down at her.
"So you are the Allison, the one which managed to calm Lyceon!" She laughed like she just barked a joke. Allison looked at her gang, her friends who seemed unfazed as they scattered around to mingle. "The one and only!" Ashina nodded.
"You are beautiful, Girl. I wish you a bright future in the kingdom!" Mellina smiled.
Oh really!Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Allison nodded with a forced smile, not knowing what to say. She looked around the illuminating ballroom, heavy golden lighted chandeliers above, people cladded in branded clothings producing intense vibes. She could feel the powerful aura around her with their presence. After all, what can you expect from these creatures?
"Alpha Mellina has been leading the golden masked pride for years alone without any mate." Ashina informed her when Mellina walked away to welcome other guests. Allison was impressed by this information. If it had been in her former pack, any woman showed more strength than male, her Alpha would have suppressed her and deprived her powers anyhow. Such a male dominated pack!
"It must be difficult and tiring for her!" Allison commented, imagining her struggle. Ashina nodded.
"But she never gave a damn. Her mate betrayed her, cheated with another woman so she killed him before taking over!"
Allison snapped her head towards Ashina and parted her lips in shock. She killed her own mate! Didn't it hurt her when she gave him a painful death?
Suddenly her thoughts went to Lyceon and his mate! He also killed her! Did she wrong him too!
But killing your own mate is not a small thing, especially when there is only one by the goddess!
Allison shook her thoughts away when Ashina introduced her to some trusted people as she said. "The common community allows everyone to attend any occasion or public places unless they break any rule. Vampires and werewolves are strong enemies but they also have to stay in control facing each other."
Allison was looking for anyone from midnight crescent moon pack but to her dismay, all she saw were new faces. And then the vampire group approached her with Edwin who was dressed in a three-piece black suit. He looked handsome and as usual cute to Allison.
"Finally, you are here! And looking all ravishing and gorgeous among all, Allison." Edwin smiled. Allison thanked him but didn't look at his ashen faced friends who were staring at her intensely, probably watering their mouths for her blood! "Ah! Guys, don't put her on edge." Edwin turned to them and warned, probably sensing Allison's uneasiness.
"Don't mind them, Allison. They are just like that but they won't hurt you. So tonight my date ditched me, would you be my one for tonight, please?" Edwin asked, offering his hand to her with puppy eyes. Allison blinked at him and before she could say yes someone interrupted them.
