Chapter 16: Another Party

-Anastasia-

I ran my hand down the dark red dress I was wearing. I had my dark hair up and a little makeup on. I really didn’t want to go out tonight, but after the last party I attended, my aunt really wanted me to come out tonight. She couldn’t really accept a no. She feared it meant I was going backwards instead of forwards.

Maybe the king will also be there tonight!

“Come on… it’s a werewolf party, not a lycan party. Why would he be there?” I asked her.

Why not? It’s a powerful family.

“No, lycans like to stick to their own parties. They don’t like to mingle with the likes of us,” I told her.

My wolf sighed and laid down, feeling a little defeated. She really wanted to find our family’s killers, and I did, too. The king might just be the key. But this party was for werewolves. I knew the lycan king wouldn’t bother. No lycan would.

“Besides, do we want to see him parade his new queen around?” I asked.

What does it matter? We aren’t trying to take the place as the new queen.
