Chater thirty-four ( Welcome party)

Mira's Pov:

Sitting in front of my dressing table as Angel stretches and rolls my hair in a ponytail, today is the welcome party. It is already night and I am done helping Virginia with her choice of clothes, I am done helping her find the suitable clothes for tonight's party. The event of yesterday came rushing into my mind, flooding my mind. Having to deal with Nengi and at the same time Derrick weakening me, I still wonder what the pack members or people around will see me when they find out that I am mated to my husband's twin brother, that I am mated to the two brothers? This is f*****g impossible, I still wonder how this seems nice in the presence of the moon goddess because this is my worst nightmare. This doesn't seem like a good omen because if it didn't break the bond between the two brothers then it will crush me in the end. After all, I am damn sure that no matter what that the relationship between Derrick and Nicholas can't jeopardize so one thing is for sure it will backfire on me and this is a good reason why I have to run away from this place before they find out. For I don't know how long I am going to hide from them, soon or later they will find out and that will be my doom. I couldn't stand Derrick, I am f****g afraid and scared to face him and that's why I have to run away immediately he turns a minute away from me.

"Now we are all set to go……." exclaimed Angel with a smile as she stares at me admiring her handwork.

"So soon…….." I surprisingly uttered as I stared at myself in the mirror, to be sincere I am different. I look more beautiful and that's what scares me because I didn't want to be the center of attraction, I don't want to attract attention to myself because that means causing Derrick and Nicholas to notice me and I am sure it wasn't going to end well.

"I am sure I am not this person that I am seeing in this mirror," I mumbled.

"Haha…..really, if it's not you then who is it?" Angel teasingly muttered as she playfully rolls her eyes.

"I don't want to attract attention to myself…….. I didn't get to finish before Angel excitedly claps her hands as she jumps in happiness " That's the spirit baby girl, you have to turn heads tonight……"

I glance at her before signing, walking towards my bed I sat down and perked up at her with a troubled look "And that's it because I didn't want attention…… I don't want to attract attention to myself,"

"I understand dear, but you are Luna and aren't supposed to dress tattered. You are supposed to be the one that the whole people will want to see tonight aside from the celebrant Derrick………." She said as she walked toward me and sat beside me as she rubbed my back to smooth me. And this is my fear, Derrick is the celebrant and I am their future Luna and of course, a lot of attention will be on us and that's why I am scared of attending this party but I don't have any reasonable excuse not to attend it without them all finding it suspicious.

"You won't understand, dear," I muttered.

"I understand, dear you didn't want attention because you are not ready for that yet…." Countered Angel.

"I wish it was only that….." I mumbled within.

"We are together in this…" Heaven says to me.

"Thanks….." I nod my head as I appreciate her.

"Where are you guys? The party has long started……" Virginia mindlink me.

"We will be there in a minute," I replied.

"Take your time and look good for……mmm," she said with a beaming smile.

"Ouch!....." I mumbled with a disgusted tone.

"Haha……" she laughs before shutting the mind link.

"We have to go……" said Angel.

"Yeah, indeed……." I weakly mumbled.

Standing up I walk towards the mirror as I stared at my reflection again, stretching my clothes I swallowed my throat and stared at myself again at the reflector when trying to calm down my breathe " it is just for tonight, we can do it……." I tried encouraging myself.

"It is just for tonight, we can do it…….it is just for tonight, we can do it. It is just for tonight, we can do it,"

"It is just for tonight, we can do it…….it is just for tonight, we can do it," with eyes closed I kept repeating the words several times. With my hands clenched on my gown the words kept echoing in my head, I allowed the words to sound very well and wrapped the words in my head. I kept repeating the words to encourage myself before opening my eyes.

"Let's go….." I mumbled to Angel as I breathed out before motioning for us to go. I gave her a phony smile as she opened the door for me to go, walking out of my room. We continued our walk toward the party.

"Hey, where are you? Everybody wants to see you……" Virginia asked.

"Everybody!!......" I undoubtedly muttered.

"Yeah, Derrick wants to meet his brother's wife…….." Virginia complained. I stifled as Virginia told me that, I staggered back a bit as the word sank into my head. It kept chiming in my head as I felt like I am losing it, holding my head I tried keeping my balance.

"You ok, dear……." Holding me to keep me steady Angel asked.

"You there……you there, Mira!" with concern Virginia called me.

"Mira, baby…… you there," Virginia kept calling me, not being able to tolerate her words anymore I cut off the mind link. With nervousness I stared at a confused Angel before telling her for us to continue our walk, I just hope there is a way out from this place. Reaching the place, music was booming all over the place. People were roaming all over the place, some were drunk and some were making out. Glancing the whole place, I gestured for Angel to mingle with the pack. I needed to stay on my own, I need to find a way to run away from this party. After hours of persisting in staying with me, she later left.

I walked sneakily towards the river bank, the whole place was calm as only the sound of the river was heard. Standing as I watch the river, the breeze blowing my hair sideways. Folding my hands with my eyes closed I enjoyed the smell of the river but my once quiet moment was interrupted as an electric sparkle shot throughout my body. I noticed a muscular figure-hugging me from behind. It felt right that I didn't want to wake up.

"Hello, pretty……." He whispered as he roamed his hand on my body with his head placed on the nook of my neck.

"Umm……." I moaned with my eyes closed, his voice was intoxicating but a bit familiar.

"I have been searching for you throughout the party……. Why do you always run away from me?" He barely whispered to my ear and that's when it hits me ***Derrick****

Turning around I pushed him as I surprisingly half yelled "What the fuck………!!!!
