《The Alpha's Beta (BOOK 1)》Chapter 38
Advertisement
The walk to the pack house isn't far, but in these killer heels it feels like its miles away. I don't know why I do it to myself, but being only tiny, a girl needs some help in the height department sometimes.
The front door is wide open and I just stroll right on in. It's not hard to determine where the party's at, just follow the very loud music. The main room in here is huge, it looks like it just about holds everybody, yet there's still plenty of space to move around and have a good dance, I don't remember the last time I got to dance, so hopefully that will change tonight.
I make my way round the room getting to know everyone, if I'm forced to stay here then I want to get to know people to at least make it a bit more of a pleasurable experience being here. There are a few people who make my list of people to avoid, but that's fine, the packs big enough to avoid them.
On my way round I've also picked up a few drinks behind their bar. I've noticed that the drinks they have here are of the very strong variety as it takes a while for werewolves to get drunk, they've obviously mixed theses with some very strong alcohol, again this suits me fine. What doesn't suit me fine is that as I've passed one of the windows, it happens to be a full moon tonight. Full moons can be a bit of an issue for some of us; it probably explains the reason why Ronan was quite aggressive towards me earlier. And why he's giving me a dirty look from across the room now.
Maybe I'll just stay on this side of the room away from him; I don't need to be put back in the cells for getting on his bad side again.

"What are you doing here?"
Ah the lovely Noah has graced me with his presents
"Your face is healing well"
He lets out a small laugh
"Not bad. You've got some strength behind your punches, but seriously, you're supposed to be down in the prison block, how did you get out?"
I'm not sure if he's slightly angry or finding this quite amusing, either way he's not finding out how I managed to escape, you never know I might need to call on that tactic again soon.
"Sorry I can't reveal my secrets, but I'm not here to cause any trouble, I promise I'll be on my best behaviour"
He doesn't seem like the type of wolf to fall for the fluttery eyelash tactic but I give it a go none the less.
"Hmm, cute. Make sure you behave then."
I give him a wink and blow him a kiss, he seems a bit taken back by it, but I need to act sweet and innocent to make my point. Even if I'm making my way back to the cocktail bar, they are really good.
*2 hours later*
The party still seems in full swing, and I'm having the best time I've had here so far. I've met a few girls here Kirsty and Rachel who I seem to get on with, Olivia came up and apologised to me for this morning's moment, we just hugged it out and went back to the bar for a few drinking games. And now were all on the dance floor. Kirsty and Rachel both have mates and are dancing with them, me and Olivia are dancing together.
I'm not feeling quite as settled on my feet anymore, but who cares, you only live once! And I really should stop accepting drinks from people, they're far too nice, in exchange they only ask for a dance, but I can't keep dancing all evening, so I take a break and head outside for some fresh air.

With the pursuers hot on his heels, can Victorian find shelter in the realm of the living dead? Or will he become just another walking corpse, doomed to wonder the land for all eternity? Everything that he believed in, everything that he held sacred – gods, kings and their laws – has already betrayed him.

And what would he be required to do in return? The Kingdom of Leidemar is on the verge of ruin. Rival powers seek to divide it, but there is an opportunity for a new ruler to arise from within its own nobility. And even a lowly nobleman, if positioned correctly, could end up a king. Someone with the right allies, perhaps? Or maybe cruel allies would suffice? But for now the last surviving son of House Rotwald is on the run. *This story is as much about the monsters as it is about the people facing them. Some become allies while others become wet stains on the floor. I firmly believe that villains can make for some of the most endearing characters. Monsters need not be sour and droll. Have a bit of fun - indulge in a bit of villainy. Enjoy the gray morality and colorful cast of this story! *I have a Discord server now: https://discord.gg/4phDRU2 **Artwork by Shane Pierre: https://007access.deviantart.com/ ***I am not a native English speaker, so feel free to help me improve my use of the language!

Carus - Libertas
participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge and also having a go at NaNoWriMo this November. This was a first draft published as it was written for Nanowrimo November 2020. A little rough around the edges, I hope to come back and edit at some point, and then continue the story on. In the grand scheme of things Elias was nothing special. Which was why he was surprised by a random company on a new colony planet buying out his contract. That was the problem with the large companies that ruled the colonies, once they owned your contract, they owned you. Imagine the greater surprise when he learnt that the new company held the promise of freedom. Not from the constant battle against the Swarm that were also trying to claim the colony planets for their own. Nor from the Crust, the mysterious substance that covered the same planets and held the resources they all fought for. No, the freedom from being oppressed by those with more power and to finally decide where to go and where to set down roots and call home.
