Our First Ball

Alpha Prince Saint

[Saint 18 year old  Bellatrix 15 year old]

I stood waiting for Bell at the bottom of the stairs, finally our parents had agreed to allow Bell to accompany me to the summer Ball. Of course my Beta wasn’t best impressed by the fact his sister was going cause I wouldn't be hanging out with him and Angelo. 

Angelo was pissed because Denu had refused to accompany him, in her words ‘No thanks, I would rather pluck my nose hair’ So my big bad Gamma has been sulking for days. Danu is Bell’s sister but she is different, she has no interest in anything except magic. 

I overheard my Aunt tell my mum she had caught Denu talking to the spirits more than once, and something about dark magic. Honestly it didn't surprise me, she had always been quirky but Angelo was drawn to her and the only time I see her smile is at my goofy Gamma. 

I hear the sound of heels clicking on the marble floor pulling me from my thoughts. Looking up, time stills around us, she stands there looking down at me all smiles. She looks so much like her mother except Aunt Red’s hair is darker than Bell’s. Her strawberry blonde hair falls down her back in loose curls. 

Her eyes sparkle as she smiles at me, her soft pink dress swaying as she makes her way down the stairs. Uncle Haggen stands with a frown on his face as my Mother and Aunt Lil try not to laugh at him. My heart is hammering as I watch her get to the bottom, her smile grows as she looks at me. 

“You look beautiful, Bell” I tell her, making a pink blush coat her cheeks as she looks down suddenly becoming shy. “Shall we?” I say as I offer her my arm. My Dad stands at the door looking at us with such pride. 

‘Remember to be a gentleman son’ His voice comes into my head over our mind-link, I just give him a small nod as we pass him on the way out. I just wanted her to enjoy her night, she has always been the only girl for me. I can’t help laughing at her excitement, without realising her aura is shimmering like glitter.

“Did your Dad allow Cat to attend?” I ask as we make our way towards the marquee, she bites her bottom lip as the huge white tent comes into view and the music can be heard.

“No, she refused to attend with Amphion or Angelo so he said she would be staying at home. If I am honest I think she was afraid of Denu if she went with Angelo” We both laugh at this. Cat is a social butterfly and is Miss popular in school so missing out on this social event was killing her reputation, but pissing her sister off was a scary thought especially when that is sister Denu.

I can hear Bellatrix’s heart beating faster as we approach the entrance, and spot the group of girls waiting. I feel her tense up as two of the group turn towards us smirking, I know she has been getting shit from a few of the girls because of how much time we stick together. 

“Saint, we have been hoping to see you. I see you brought a little friend” Candice one of the females says, emphasising the ‘little’ I give Bell’s hand a squeeze hoping to offer her some comfort, unfortunately she hasn’t got her wolf yet so the pack-link won't work. 

“No need to wait for me, and yes I have a date thank you, now you girls have a good night” I say remembering to keep my future Alpha head on at the same time as making it clear I was with Bell. As soon as we get through the doors into the marquee Bell relaxes.

“Thank you, but you don’t need to defend me. I know you need to stay neutral” She says with the elegance of a true queen.

“Now what kind of Alpha King would I make if I didn’t defend my Luna Queen” The beautiful rose colour the coats her face makes my heart swell, Bellatrix is and always will be my only love. I know she feels out of place being here on her own, what she doesn’t know is Emerald. My twin sister is coming with my Beta, who is her brother but he is just accompanying her for my Dad’s sake. 

I hear a squeal from behind us and turn to see my beautiful sister rushing at Bell, Bell’s face lights up. Emerald is so sweet and kind I hate her being around negative people as their energy affects her, but for tonight my Aunt Lil has made a charmed hair clip to block it out. It really is handy having the most powerful witch living with us. 

“Oh wow, Bell, you look amazing” Emerald gushes at my date, my sister's pure heart is something I will always protect.

“Emerald, you look beautiful, I am so glad you came. Will you be ok?” Bell asks, knowing how much crowds are hard for my sister. Emerald just taps the clip in her head.

“Aunt Lil sorted that” She tells Bell, then grabs her hand and drags my date to the dance floor. I laugh as my sister twirls Bell around, Amphion stands beside me with a smirk on his face. The one thing I can say about my Beta is he loves his sisters, even if they drive him mad.
