I didn't know but I think it was because of Alpha's son's birthday.
Andrew White, the next Alpha in line, was turning twenty-five, and that meant he would finally find his mate.
The whole pack was in a frenzy, wondering who would end up becoming his mate, because automatically that person would become the Luna of the pack.
Mothers were busy dolling their daughters up and getting them ready for the night, just in case their daughter became Andrew's mate.
I really felt like they were making too much of a fuss about it, because this was Andrew White we were talking about.
He was the most notorious player in the whole of the pack. He changed girls like he changed his stinky boxers.
He can't go out without a girl for more than a week, and mostly uses them for sex.
Why would anyone be happy that the Moon goddess would mate them with such an asshole? I really didn't understand.
The Alpha had made the ceremony compulsory for every young girl over the age of eighteen to attend, so there was no avoiding it.
Even my uncle and his wife, Wendy had told me to be there when it was time, because they didn't want to disobey the Alpha, when normally they would have locked me up in my room.
My uncle Justin, who was my mother's younger brother, had taken me in to live in the Blue Moon pack with him after my parents had died in a car accident when I was still very young.
I had been happy that someone was kind enough to take me in, but that feeling quickly changed.
My uncle's wife, Wendy, hated me because they had no children.
She said that seeing me reminded her of her inability to bear children and would sometimes hit me just to let out her anger.
That feeling quickly changed as she later felt that l was a witch or cursed. She would say that I had killed my parents and had made her infertile.
A wolf being infertile was a very rare situation. It was something that didn't often happen, so there was no solution or cure.
My uncle loved his mate very much, and because my uncle loved her, he treated me badly to satisfy her.
I never held their maltreatment against them, because I felt like I just had some really bad karma, which was why bad things kept happening to me.
I had gotten three part-time jobs to take care of myself because they never spent a dime on anything concerning me apart from my education.
Sometimes when I was paid, Wendy would collect the money from me saying that it was what I had to pay to live freely in her house. I always let it go without any fight.
I was at one of my part-time jobs at a popular diner in town where I worked as a waitress, when a group of girls walked in. I rolled my eyes as l sighed, already knowing who they were from the sound of their laughs.
They were loud and sat at a corner in the diner, but didn't stop giggling and disturbing the other customers.
I walked over to them to take their orders when I finally noticed who they were.
They called themselves the Blue and Blonde sisters. I knew because we all attended the same school.
I just called them the B and B sisters, which stood for Bimbo and Bitchy sisters.
They were a group of five friends who all had blonde hair and blue eyes that made them look like quintuplets.
I'm not even joking, they practically all looked alike because they even dress the same way.
Among them was Eve Adams, the snobbiest of them all and the apparent leader of their group.
Her long blonde hair fell over their shoulder, doing nothing to cover her breasts that were practically pouring out from her dress.
She was the best example of a bimbo. Like if you searched bimbo online, her picture should be what immediately pops up, I'm not even joking.
She dresses like a walking traffic light. What's with all the bright colors?
What made her attitude worse was the fact that all the young boys in our pack were after her because, apparently, boys nowadays think with their dicks and not their brains.
They were all stupid. She didn't pay any mind to them because she was too busy taking Andrew's dick all the time that she had little to no space in her head for any other thing.
This sole reason made her the worst, most annoying person to be around, and her friend encouraged it.
"What would you like to order?" | asked in a very bored voice as I stood there waiting for them to make up their minds.
"Wait a minute, aren't you Alice, Awkward Alice?" Celine, one of them asked and my gaze turned into a glare.
Stupid bitches.
"That's true. It's so nice to see you again, awkward. We had such good times together, with you falling all the time. I always wondered why you were so awkward."
Eve chipped in, giving me a fake bright smile, while the rest of them laughed.
I clenched my fist at the mention of the nickname I was given in high school. I wasn't clumsy.
They called me that because they had always tripped me in the hallways of our high school whenever I passed by them, especially Eve, and thus the birth of the stupid nickname.
I ignored them because I hated them.
After laughing amongst themselves and taking what felt like an eternity, they finally made their orders, but not without confusing the hell out of me with their annoying voices.
I walked past Cole and Avery, who gave me a knowing look, my co-workers, and went into the kitchen to give their orders to Dave, the chef and owner of the diner, and sighed as I rested on a table.
Dave was a man in his late forties and had been nice enough to give me a job at his diner after he noticed the situation with my uncle and his wife.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing much, just tired." I smiled weakly at him.
"Are you sure?" He asked and I nodded, thinking of how I would handle the problem that was the B and B sisters waiting outside.
I knew for sure that it wasn't going to end well.
I went back outside with some of their orders in my hands to drop at their table when I heard their conversation.
"You're so definitely going to be Andrew's mate, I can feel it." One of the sisters said, demonstrating her excitement with her whole body.
"Oh, I know. When he walks up to me, I'm just going to act shocked like l didn't expect it.
We should hurry up and get back so we can get ready." I held back my laugh but mocked them silently.
