Chapter 2: The Gala from hell
Lyla
I stood at the foot of the grand stone steps, my heart hammering against my ribs.
The pack house loomed over me like a fortress, its cold walls whispering memories of a life I had been cast off from.
I couldn’t believe three years had passed since that fateful night when my parents had sent me away in the dead of the night.
I had felt like a thief, banished without explanation or warning and nothing but a thousand dollars, clutching a single bag that was my clothes forcing me to vow never to return.
But now I was back.
I swallowed the knot in my throat, steeling myself.
I didn’t want to come, but my father’s command was not a request.
The annual werewolf gala was tonight and I was to attend.
I had no choice.
Taking a deep breath, I pushed open the heavy oak door, and the rush of familiar scent filled my lungs, bringing with it a flood of childhood memories both painful and good.
I had barely closed the door when my mother’s voice reached me.
“You’re late,” she hissed, her eyes narrowing as she took in my appearance.
Her sharp eyes flicked over me as if she was inspecting something unpleasant on the bottom of her shoe.
Beside her, my sister, Clarissa, gazed at me with a look that was somewhere between pity and disdain.
“I see you still haven’t learned to control yourself during your heat,” Clarissa scoffed.
“Father, it’s not a good idea for her to go like this.
She reeks…”.
“You think if we had a choice, I would have driven four hours to go and get her,” My father hissed “The invitation had stated that every family must send a representative that is 18 and above and ripe for mating.
I had no choice.
She was never an option, to begin with.
”
I flinched, “I’m sorry,” I began but my mother cut me off with a sharp gesture.
“Save it,” she snapped “We’ve been doing so well without you and we want it to remain that way.
Just remember, you’re here because we had no other choice.
Don’t disgrace us today.
If you cause a scene, or so much as draw unwanted attention… we will remove your name from the family register and disown you.
Do you understand?”
