Synopsis
"What's going on?" Why is the whole pack here Dad?" Mia asked her father the moment she walked into the house.
"Such an ignorance girl huh. I don't get why you are so useless" said Lydia Mia's older sister.
"Must you insult her in every opportunity you get? I guess you must feel entertained " Said Hardin their elder brother.
"Enough! All of you" Their father said to them. " And you Mia, the reason why everyone is here today is because the Werewolf king is chosing his bride from our pack. All the young ladies that are of age and suitable for marriage will be presented before him" Explained Mia's father.
"Your sister will be participating in this ceremony and during that time, I'll need you to stay in your room " he added.
"Why? Why must I stay in my room? I am your daughter and also of age" Mia was hurt.
"Of age you say? Huh" Lydia laughed. You are the first werewolf in history who was not able to shift after coming of age " Lydia laughed at her .
( Human come of age when they reach eighteen years old but for a werewolf they come of age when they clock sixteen and on their coming of age ceremony. Mia's own was different when she didn't turn on the day of her ceremony. It have been four years since then, and there have been no change at all. She was just as weak as a human which bring much disappointment to her family.)
"Your present will only bring dishonor to our family. Well, we all know that I am the most suitable one amongst those other Ladies gazing at something that is out of their reach. So.. little sister.. shoo" Lydia waved her away.
"You can put on the best makeup for all you want but you can never concealed that ugly altitude of yours. I hope you don't get choosen " Mia said before going off to her room.
"What an annoying fly" said Lydia before going back to her makeup .
"Honey, don't you think you are being too hard on her? Moreover, what will people say when they realized that you lock up one of your daughters?" Said Bridget their mother .
"I'm not locking her up. We need the spotlight to be on Lydia. You know the Kingstons have been challenging my authority lately and Lydia becomes the queen, no one would dare to make a sound before me. Mia can't be there it will bring bad luck to our family" He said sternly.
"What I'm saying is that,it will not look good on you as the alpha. Please think about it Noah. You don't have to add her to the list of the girls participating ".
" Hmm. Okay, but she's staying at the back " Said Noah.
"What? No dad, you can't let her go anywhere near the ceremony. Lydia cried out.
"Well, that's not up to you " said Noah to his daughter.
"Dad. Can't do this " Lydia grumble.
Few minutes later, Mia heard a knock on her door.
"Come in" she said.
Bridget walked into the room and saw rumpled papers littering on the floor.
"Dear, what are you working on?" She said while picking up one of the papers.
"I have an assignment to submit by next week and now I can't even draw a straight line " Mia said in frustration.
(Though Mia was good at nothing , the only thing she was good at was art that's why she's majoring in art at the university.)
"Then why don't you join us outside later during the ceremony maybe you might find some inspiration".
"But Dad said..."
"Don't worry, he said you can come if you promise to stay at the back and not disturb the ceremony " said Bridget to her daughter.
"Oh! Okay ". Mia replied.
'who care about their dumb ceremony when I can enjoy the cool breeze and draw for all I want. Oh! maybe I can sneak into the woods to get inspiration from nature '. Mia though to herself.
