Chapter 18

Saturday came by very quickly, quicker than I expected and I was getting dressed in a blue gown, that hugged my shape, i stared at the mirror as I applied my makeup and wore my jewelry.

Kurt came from the bathroom, dressed a black tuxedo he stood next to me in the mirror as he adjusted his tux, and rub his hands through his hair.

"Ok so you remember the plan?" He asked looking at me through the mirror and I nodded my head.

The plan was a slightly simple plan, I would leave to find where the gem was and magically bring it back. Very easy.

"You looked pretty by the way," he said walking away from the mirror.

I felt a blush creep up to my cheeks, I was grateful that he left before he could see it, if not it would have been a thing of shame to me.

We both head to the elevator with him offering to hold my hand but I rejected it. The driver opened up the door us to enter, we sat at the back seat of the car, with the driver getting into the driver's seat.

We drove down the road, to the location of the ball. It was said that it would be at a very big hall, other subsidiary pack would come along with their Alpha's.

I looked at Kurt, who had his eyes staring at the window, with his hand tucked under his chin.

"Hey, Kurt?"

He let out a hum, without looking at me.

"Why do you like referring to yourself as Prince, instead of Alpha?" It was a question that I have always wanted to ask, just never had the chance cause of how much of an annoying person that he was.

"I can't tell you," he said.

That ended the conversation between us, the driver, probably sensing the awkward and slightly tensed atmosphere, turn on the radio. A soft music coming from it, realizing that it was a familiar tune I decided to hum along to it.

Then I suddenly heard Kurt humming too, then the song ended and another one played. I didn't know this one so I just kept quiet, I looked out the window and at the bright lights of the city under the night sky.

From my peripheral vision I saw Kurt bring out his phone and began tapping away at it, as if trying to distract himself from what he was planning on doing this night.

I feel like he has something else up his sleeve, cause it's literally not possible for him to tell me to just go and get the necklace. I didn't even have any idea where the necklace would be located at.

"We are almost there," the driver said and I felt my stomach did a little flip. My nerves were eating me up inside it basically felt like I was burning up.

I place my hand on my chest and inhale and exhale as if trying to keep my nerves calm.

The driver pulled up at the curb, switching off the ignition. He came and open up the car door for us and we got outside.

Kurt set his hand for me to wrap my hand around, and I did, not because there were people around. But mostly because it's was pretty much necessary.

As we walked up the stairs, all eyes were on us. With us being the youngest of the bunch, plus with the argument that Kurt got into with Alpha Raphael. It won't be a surprise that news got out about it.

They were whispering, suddenly I felt self conscious. Usually whenever people whisper about me it's not always good things that they have to say. Learnt that during my time at the bottom of the werewolf rank.

We got to the door, and guard instantly recognize us and allowed us on. The inside was huge, large chandeliers lit up the room with an enormous amount of light, a band was playing music on a stage that was set up. There was food at the corner of different delicacies.

The people were dressed in vibrant and beautiful colors, that it made me feel like I underdressed for this occasion.

My grip on Kurt's arm became tighter, and it seemed to notice, so as a means of comforting me he placed his hand on my hand rubbing it gently, while looking at me with a reassuring smile.

An older looking woman dressed in a flamboyant dress of different colors while wearing a fur coat appeared in front of us.

"Why hello there, you must be Kurt Higgins. My name is Wendy Collins, it's such a great pleasure to meet you." She said bringing out her hand for Kurt to shake, which he did then he let go.

"The pleasure is mine too ma'am."

"And this most be your lovely Luna." She looked at me, and I realize on closer inspection that she had two different color eyes. And from what I heard about wolves with different eye colors, is that they usual have some sort of connection with the Moon goddess.

"Nice to meet you ma'am," I stretched out my hand and she took it shaking my hands as well.

"What's your name dear?" She asked.

"Alexa ma'am."

She place her hand on my cheek, and look at me such a motherly gaze that made me feel calm. My shoulders suddenly relaxed and it felt like everything was going to be ok.

Then she removed her hand and said that she need to head somewhere, then she took her leave.

"What exactly was that?" I asked out loud.

"Kurt!" A loud voice resonate across the room, we spun around and saw Raphael along with Catherine heading towards us.

"I am so glad that you made it." He said giving Kurt a very tight hug.

"I am happy to be here," Kurt said with smile etched on his face.

Then he turned his attention to Catherine who he took her hand place a kiss on the back of her palm.

Then his attention went to something on her neck, and he subtly touch my elbow as if not wanting to gain attention from Raphael.

I looked at what he was looking at and saw the gem, it was on her neck like a necklace.

'Fuck,' I said in my mind.
