I feel awkward as I stand at the bonfire. I know a lot of these pack members but not everybody appears to be in a social mood. Father has already abandoned me and I know that Regan and Xavier must be inside the pack house delegating tasks to the omegas. I sighed, sipping at my soda, not certain that I wanted to spend tonight drinking, even though the temptation to get drunk, to throw away my inhibitions and just let loose, is awfully tempting. Considering that I don’t have my wolf and my life is already beginning to unravel, part of me wonders what it is that I have to lose?

“Fiona you look beautiful tonight.”

A voice speaks from behind me. Surprised, I turn around and look at Graham, a small smile curving on my lips. He’s always been kind to me, or at least civil and while he’s one year older than I am, I can still remember him from school.

“Thank you.” I say politely as his eyes slowly rake over my forin, a glint in his eyes. “It’s nice to see you again Graham” I added.

“Same here,” he said, motioning to the bonfire and then peering at my drink with a wrinkled brow. “Why are you drinking soda when you turn eighteen tonight? Shouldn’t you be drinking with the rest of us and having fun?” he cracked.

I peer down at my soda, feeling uncertain. Maybe he’s right. Would it hurt to have one drink and join in the festivities?

“I wasn’t planning on drinking,” I said bemusedly as he gaped at me “but I guess you might have convinced me” I added sheepishly.

He chuckled. “I’ll go get you a glass, be right back. Champagne?” he added.

I nodded, watching as he went to the refreshment table. He selected a glass of champagne for myself and a glass of beer for himself. I put the soda down on the ground, discarding it for now. He came rushing back, handing it to me.
