Stalking The Hybrid

Preparing for the mating ball

I went to the only seat that was left at the front of the class and sat there. I had avoided sitting there because it was too close to the teacher and that meant it would be easier for the teacher to pay attention to me. I never ever raised a hand in class, I was very smart but I was also smart enough to make sure I never attract any attention to myself.

After a few minutes the class was full and the teacher came in. A middle aged woman with the brightest smile that lit up the room and her energy were off the roof. She was way too energetic to be a maths teacher, which was one of my favourite subjects. When she realised I was new in class she made me stand up and introduce myself to the whole class. And then spent half the lesson trying to dissect my personality and get to know me whilst not failing to make me feel very uncomfortable.

I was actually very quiet in class and at home, people often mistook that for a weakness especially bullies. My silence was like a magnet for bullies and mean girls, but I was the meanest of all mean girls at heart. I could see that the girl whose seat I had unintentionally taken already had it in for me but I wasn’t willing to engage with her. She was very beautiful though; her hazel eyes and long blonde hair made me wonder what her wolf looked like.

“So Lizzy, here we have some wolf classes that are meant to help you get in tune with your wolf and every student is expected to attend them especially students that just turned. We also have combat classes where we teach you self defence and the likes, those are also compulsory” she added before class was over. She had dedicated the whole lesson to me, which didn’t please the mean girl one bit, the mean girl who had now introduced herself as Ashley during class introduction.

The rest of my day at school was pretty much event less, except for Ashley staring daggers at me occasionally. Apparently Liam, her boyfriend was absent from school for some reason and some students were kind enough to let me know who he was. Liam was the Alpha’s son; this small town only had one pack because the pack in charge was powerful enough to swallow other packs and be the last one standing. So everyone was under the leadership of this one pack and reported to the same Alpha, Liam was an heir to that Alpha. I could already imagine just how spoiled he was and how snobbish he was. He probably thought he was God’s gift to the world and they probably deserved each other with Chloe.

Without even meeting him I was already disgusted by what I heard.

After long classes and boring teachers and even more boring students, school was over.  I headed to my car ready to go home, I was tired and I was hungry. After I passed Ashley and her group of minions I heard her mumble something about Liam showing me who he was the following day and they all burst out laughing. If they were counting on this Liam character to make life a living hell for me then they had better be ready for me to do the same to him.

I got into my car and drove home not expecting my mother to be home, I was surprised to find her car parked on the driveway but excited at the same time. I parked my car and went inside the house to find my mother with the same old lady that owned the restaurant we had eaten in the previous day.

“Hi mum” I said as I entered the kitchen slowly.

“How was school?” she asked as I walked in

“Boring” I said

“Ok did you make any friends?’ she asked again

“No, and I am not looking to make any” I said nonchalantly looking at the old woman that was sitting next to my mum and smiling endlessly.

“Oh, you do remember Mrs Olsen right?” my mum asked smiling and I nodded slowly

“She is here to tell you about the mating ball that is taking place tonight at the pack mansion” my mum said failing to hide the excitement in her voice

“Oh...I see” I said as I sat down on the bar stool

“Yes and she brought you some pretty dresses to pick from” my mum added

“A dress mum”: I exclaimed and the old kind lady laughed

“Yes a dress, now stop embarrassing me and try one on” my mum said

“But today is a school night and I am really tired” I said attempting to yawn and failing dismally

“Nice try, I picked this one for you so go and try it on” she said handing me a sleek red satin dress that was obviously going to show off my ever hidden curves. I snatched the dress from her and ran up to my room eager to try it on and get this over and done with.

I took off my school clothes and put the dress on; the material felt so good against my skin and made me feel very sexy. 

I looked sexy, the dress complimented my snow white skin(red had always been my favourite colour secretly) it pushed up my breasts and accentuated my curves, the dress was strapless and was just flowing with my body like a river on a river bed. With this dress I was going to walk out of that ball with mates and not a mate. Now I was excited to be a girl just for one night, but only on the condition that I was allowed to wear my hair short because there was no way I was going to wear a wig.

I walked out of my room and ran down the stairs to where my mum and Mrs Olsen where now sitting. They both h gasped when they saw me and my mother’s jaw almost dropped to the ground.

“Lizzy, you look amazing” my mum said as she walked up to me and I blushed

“She looks gorgeous indeed Isabelle, with this dress she will be walking out with a handful of mates and not just one” she said winking at me and I smiled back

“That’s what I said” i said with a smirk

“So about the ball, it’s basically for the prince to find a mate, but the opportunity is open for every other young wolf to find theirs. The prince Liam, Is about to come of age and is expected to take over the pack soon. So he needs to be married before he does.” She said

“So what happens when he finds his mate?” I asked

“When he finds his mate, they will get to know each other and then she will have to move into their family mansion and stay there until the day of the wedding” she said with a smile

“Oh I see...what if she rejects him or he rejects her?” I asked, I was a little too inquisitive and I didn’t like it. It made me look and feel like I was interested...and I wasn’t

“God forbid that my darling and that has never happened in the history of this pack. However if it does happen, they have two choices and that is to either break their bond which is a very risky ritual or get to know each other” she finished

“I see, how risky is the ritual?” I asked and my mum shot me a warning look

“I am just curious mum” I said “just in case I get picked, the last thing I want is to be paired with this douche bag of a prince” I said

“Elizabeth stop it now” my mom warned and the old lady laughed

“If you get picked you will be the luckiest amongst all maidens and am sure he will like you too” she said with a small warm smile

“I forgot to tell you the other day, Mrs Olsen is one of the pack elders” my mum said and my eyes widened in shock

“Relax I don’t take anything too seriously. Here are your shoes for the night and your limo will pick you up at 8pm sharp. I have to go now; I have five more houses to visit.” She said as my mother walked her out.

My mum returned with a big smile plastered across her face, I swear this was feeling more and more like she was the one attending the ball.

“Isn’t this exciting?”She exclaimed and danced around like a toddler being given ice cream

“For you maybe” I said

“Go and take that dress off and bath. I don’t want you to be late and I want you to look your best. I just cannot wait, my little girl is all grown up” she said ignoring my whining.
