3. A Shock

EVANGELINE.

I walked through the crowds, thanking people for coming and for their gifts. They were pleasant to me, because Grandmother Philomena had eyes everywhere. After a while when Grandmother Philomena left the room, I walked over to the refreshment table and helped myself to a refreshing iced drink. I was so disappointed that Sinclair wasn’t here… he promised me.

“Evangeline.” I turned to look at the group of she-wolves who had approached me.

They were all older than I was, in their early twenties, and luckily, they weren’t some of my bullies. I could see Celia across the room, talking avidly, or more like showing off to the others. But she was a high-ranked she-wolf after all.

I move a little further over, hoping they want to help themselves to food and not bother with small talk. “Hello.” I said, smiling politely at the women in front of me.

Two of these were of Alpha blood, and I lowered my head in submission.

“Where’s Sinclair?” One of them asked, helping herself to a drink.

I sip my drink, quickly. “I don’t really know. I’m sorry.” I said, looking around.

Another two rolled their eyes, whilst one of them shook her head. “Can you call him? We were really hoping he’d be here.” My hands begin to tremble with nervousness, my eyes darting around. It was no surprise they were here for him. No one showed up for me, only him, and now I was wasting their time. Another reason for them to dislike me, yet still my eyes burned at the back, knowing the one person I thought would never let me down did. Sinclair broke his promise.

“I’m afraid I don’t know where he’ll be.” I mumbled, feeling awful.

“Obviously, you’re just an omega. She doesn’t have any right to call him Katya.”

“So we came for no reason…” Katya murmured.

“I’m sorry. Excuse me…” I said politely, trying not to let my emotions show. It hurt when they said that… I was a person with feelings… I get it; no one wanted to come to my party. I didn’t either.

Unable to handle more of their snide comments and judgy eyes, I excused myself, no one really cared, carrying on with their conversations without even sparing me a glance.

“Great. I came here for him.” I heard one of them complain to the others.

“Same, why else would we attend an Omega’s party.” A third whispered.

“Shush, you don’t want Lady Philomena to hear you.”

I left the hall disheartened. I wanted Sinclair here too. He promised me, but I hadn’t seen him since last night at all…

Entering the bathroom, I felt disappointed.

He said he’d be here…

I looked in the mirror. Staring back at me was a woman who looked beautiful in a red gown, with black hair, tawny grey eyes, and pale skin, with a dusting of freckles over my slender nose and cheeks. I had more meat on me than the average woman. I prodded the top of my arm, very consciously aware of the curve of fat there. Even my cheeks weren’t refined…
