Stefan! Hazel called more of whispered but the music started, causing the place to buzz.
Excuse me miss, may I have this dance? A voice interrupted her, and she gave her hand to him, In as much as she hates to dance with strangers, this is a masquerade ball with so many Alphas, it will be disrespectful on her part to turn down an alpha sweet gesture.
The dancing floor is now crowded with couples, giving their best couple dance and move to the lovely music.
This is nothing like our ball night. I commented, Leonid look at me, then smiled.
Maybe, when I become the alpha and you, my Luna, we could make our mating ball night like this. My face goes sour and I have the urge to ask him what he is going to do to Stefan, pinning my lips together to stop myself from blurting out my fear, that he might be cooking up another plan, that might not turn good, and this might not fail because I am hundred percent sure, he is going to get what he wants through other means and he is not going to inform me.
Don't you want to be Luna? He asked caressing my neck, don't you want me and you to rule the Pack, shadow moon Pack, will flourish with you and me as their alpha and Luna. Leonid replace his fingers with his fangs, his breath fanning my neck as he speak then I noticed that his fangs are getting elongated and it blushing my neck he is going to claim me, but before it could piece deep into my neck fireworks display, distracting everyone including me and Leonid.
Whoa! Everyone screamed as we make our way to the terrace to see the view, it was a sight to be held.
Alpha Justin is always filled with surprised and he is good at keeping surprises. One of the guests in masked said.
This is fabulous. Another said.
Fantastic! Yet another.
This is mind-blowing mother. A girl screamed, probably talking to her mother.
The loud screaming is more of a distraction, and I didn't realize that my hand is no longer on Leonid.
Leonid, I whispered the light suddenly went off, and fear grip me, it seems like my eyes have gone blind for a minute.
Blindfold yourself and let's see if we could locate our partners. The host screamed, now I know why the other mask was just a piece of cloth, I was wondering what we will use that for.
Make sure, it's well tie, no cheating. He said, that fireworks are a form of distraction to make everyone lose his partner in the crowd. The light is about to come up and the game just got started. He screamed, then I am sure the light is back because the music started, but the music had stopped when the light stop.
Find your partner, it's a shame if you don't know your partner's scent. I stood there motionless, I don't know if I should go to the right, left; back, or front, I am stuck in the middle.
Hey miss, move. A baritone voice said to me, as he collided with me.
Sorry! I mumbled, then turned a step, and bump into a female.
Hey watch it, you should use your wolf's sense of smell to search for your mate.
Sorry! I blurt as this is getting frustrating for me, I can't perceive any of their scents, even my mate's scent I can't perceive, the only person's scent I was able to perceive was that of Stefan. Is he here? That scent is for him? I am sure, I can't be wrong about it.
How I managed to get his scent single out in this crowd is something I have no idea about. The scent is getting closer, and I found myself moving towards the scent, with each step, I could feel I am closer to the person having this scent if it was not Stefan.
With my hand outstretched to touch the person, I could feel the person is right in front of me and I could touch him.
The music stopped and the voice came up again.
You have twenty seconds to touch your partner before the light comes up. Soft music was all we could hear in the background, my hand went straight to the chest of the person I thought to have that scent, and the scent fade away, as soon as my hand meet his chest, he too try to take my hand in his, I felt he move his hands as well, and covered mine with his, slowly I pulled my hand from it, and walked past him, my shoulder blushed his arms as I move from the front of him
The scent came up again after I took a few steps from him, this time, it was behind me, I turned to walk back to where that scent is.
Stop! That voice came up again, keeping everyone to a halt, just a few steps could be heard and those few steps include mine, I was determined to grab the person with that scent. I could still see some people moving when I said stop.
With this last part of his words, I came to a halt and it seems others also came to a halt, now we could hear nothing but silence, like a pin drop to the floor.
Back then, when I and Kira are much younger, dad will always say the moon goddess is passing when there is absolute silence in our house.
Take off your mask slowly and open your eyes to see the one person, you are standing right in front of to see if he is your partner and mark you, even if you are standing right in front of your partner, the first person your eyes meet is your partner. You should be mindful of your eyes, so you don't end up, standing in front of one person who happens to be your partner while you are staring into the eyes of another. I inhale loudly.
Are you ready? He asked. One, two, three... He keeps counting till it gets to ten. Now take off your blindfold.
He ordered, slowly I take mine off with my eyes closed tight, and the blindfold fell off my eyes.
Ready! I am about to put on the lights. Ready?
He screamed, then grabbed the light switch, the light came up and everywhere becomes bright, slowly I open my eyes and move my head up that I was fixed on the floor
