I had almost forgotten that it was October, which meant about two parties here in Oakland, one of which was the infamous Masquerade Ball to celebrate Halloween—the one night in a year when we supernaturals could truly be ourselves. It was always fun when I was a kid. Not because I went out or anything but because everyone did which meant I had the entire PackHouse to myself. I’d never been to one of these things but I sensed that tonight was probably going to be my first night. “The Masquerade Ball” Nana echoed. Ivan nodded. “I wish that was all,” “Jaxon is planning something—That when everyone goes out for the party, your father will be taken away from the Pack chambers” I arched my brows i

I muttered, treading toward the queue. "And will Royal allow you?" He asked. "Why would Darkice deny me?" My brows pulled together. "Have you ever heard of Masquerade ball?" He looked at me, not looking bothered about the food. I grabbed the plate and shoved it in his hand. "Yes, people wear masks and dance and party." I took a few steps ahead as the queue moved.

It is better they are seen and not covered by a mask. The ballroom was now full of guests. Ywain the group of vampires was present wearing tuxedos, with Euphenia and her two fellow sorceresses dressed extravagantly in embellished gowns and holding their masks. Euphenia looked beautiful in her black gown which was bell-shaped and heavily embellished. She wore black gloves and her hair was styled in a full updo. Yihan has been flirting with her all along and dancing, laughing, and chatting. Emmet was patiently waiting for someone who left almost an hour ago.

As we exited the limo, Darren led Valter to the other entrance, where all the males gathered. Delilah and I helped each other tie our masks on as we joined the five dozen she-wolves waiting to go inside. Everyone had gone all-out picking gowns for tonight, wearing dresses in the approved colors. “Welcome to Madonie’s Masquerade Mate Ball!” André greeted as he stood on a small podium. “I am your host, Alpha André D’Amore. Now I will tell you the rules of tonight’s festivities.” He smiled. “No removing your masks till midnight. Follow your noses and wolf instincts as you seek out your mate. There will be no leaving till midnight, even if you have found your mate.” He outlined.

The moon hung low over the town, casting silver light on the sprawling Deveraux property, wherein the masquerade ball shimmered with shadows and secrets. Celeste stood although for a moment at the pinnacle of the grand staircase, her breath shallow under the black lace mask protecting her face.

“Oh no, your dress… You might want to find something less… cheap.” I forced a sweet smile. “I’ll take that under advisement.” And then I walked away, careful, controlled. Like the queen she would never be. The ballroom behind me was alive with laughter and soft music. Crystal chandeliers glittered above hundreds of masked guests, diplomats, pack leaders, humans and wolves mingling beneath gold and obsidian banners that shined above. It was Jaxon’s 26th birthday gala, but it felt more like a declaration of dominance. A masquerade of politics, like a show.

Efrain smiled and said, "I occasionally smoke, not often. Let's go inside." Evelin and Jenny agreed and followed behind Efrain as they entered the Convention Center together. At the masquerade ball, everyone wore different costumes, adorned with various masks, and some even imitated cartoon characters. Jenny grabbed Evelin and said, "Oh my goodness, look at that, isn't that a zombie? It looks so much like one, doesn't it?" Evelin's mouth twitched, "Isn't this scary enough for you? If you let your hair down, I reckon someone would have died of fright on the spot."
