Part Three - Chapter One

“ In a society that worships love,

freedom and beauty, dance is

sacred,It is a paryer for the

future, a remembrance of the

past and a joyful exclamation

of thanks for the present.”

TWO WEEKS LATER- March, 2013

ORSELINE P.O.V

“No, not blue, not even red” Darya said, shaking her head while I was showing her the tops.

I sighed and went to another row. “How about pullovers?” I asked her showing a beautiful dark green and grey striped pullover. “Try it” I told her and sent her to the changing room.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror and sighed. I was still looking presentable in my lavender color dress.

We were currently in the new mall of Regal Pack. The same mall, where in about twenty minutes, we have to perform in a flash mob. I and Darya were in the second floor of the mall.

It was a seven floor mall and we were asked to spread around and come to the ground floor just five minutes before our performance is about to start.

We had gone to the food court few minutes ago where someone rammed against Darya which had coke spill on her dress. So, I was purchasing a shirt for Darya while Duncan was waiting for us in the food court.

He was almost closing to attacking the person who had dashed against her. He was scared that someone will attack Darya. Someone like Leo’s younger pup. He told me that the boy had killed Alpha Peter and looked almost like a lunatic.

I didn’t know who this pup is, but I know he can be dangerous, since Isadora had said that the pup will kill Darya. The pup is the only reason I am okay with the two bodyguards accompanying Darya. Until she can protect herself, she will need those guards whenever we are not there with her.

“Sel” Darya called and I turned to look at her.

“Nice” I said and smiled. The top really looked good on Darya. She is going to be one beautiful woman after she grows up, I was sure of that. “You look beautiful” I said and she smiled.

“Done” I heard Duncan’s familiar voice asking from behind. I whirled around to face him. He looked so handsome in his black button down shirt and dark blue jeans. My wolf purred inside me and I shook my head to wipe out the lustful thoughts in my head. I can never get enough of Duncan.

I then wondered, what is Duncan, who was supposed to be in the food court, doing here? So, I raised an eyebrow questioningly. “Take it” he said handing me and Darya a chocolate drink. “You look good” he said looking at Darya who smiled widely. “Give me the bill” he said and walked towards the counter.

“Did you get any text?” Darya asked me in a whisper after sipping her drink. I was supposed to get a text from the choreographer five minutes before the performance starts. He was the one who had organized this along with Modern Art dance class teacher. Sixty of us are in this performance.

“I will get it when we have five minutes left” I told her and she nodded.

I had to tell Darya about the flash mob because she saw me practicing for the dance. My friends, Lory, Tina and even Raven were in the dance. A video was sent, through which we were supposed to practice for a week until they called us together and assigned us our entry time, position etc. So basically we had practiced it as a group only for two days and since most of us were trained dancers I knew the performance will be good.

Raven had joined in the last moment. She wanted some distraction after everything and so she wished to join. Alpha Peter’s death affected her after all she was his darling daughter. And after she came to know about Isadora, she was torn. She didn’t know whether she had to be with her mom or her mate.

Granel had huge responsibilities after Isadora is dead. Managing a Boarding School plus a whole pack is tiring him out. He has asked Cortez and Duncan’s help for that and both have agreed.

However Raven went to Granel after Cortez promised he is going to take care of Brenna, Raven’s mom.

They were already in the mall. Raven had texted me as soon as she had come here but I don’t know which floor she, Granel and Cortez, who I don’t know how Raven managed to convince to come, are in.

Elegance Pack was completely free of rogues after everything that has happened. The pack territory was a barren land until Cortez, the rightful heir to that land agreed to share the pack territory with other packs. There was no survivor in Elegance Pack other than Cortez and hence a new pack cannot be formed. So, the pack territory has been distributed equally amongst Moreland, Supreme, Emperor, Grier and Sinew Pack.

Since Duncan had gotten extra territory from the Elegance Pack, Scott, Serene Pack Alpha has started to irritate again. However it is nothing that cannot be handled or nothing that could lead to a war because Scott knows the support Duncan has from Granel, Cortez and Twin bro’s if he starts a war. Every Alpha in the country has come to know about the strong friendship between these four Alpha’s. The other Alpha’s know that the friends are always going to have each other’s back.

Cortez on the other hand has not fully calmed down. He is pleased that the four main Alpha’s are dead but he isn’t satisfied. He even wants to kill Leo’s pups who have escaped. He is currently hunting for the girl who has helped one of Leo’s pups in escaping. I already feel pity for the girl.

I don’t know when Cortez will finally calm down. Will he ever calm down? His hatred for rogues is understandable but he shouldn’t hate all the rogues either. Not all are bad. Some do mind their own business.

I just hope Cortez calms down and let go of this hatred he has for the rogues. Only his mate can calm him and help him in this. I really hope he finds his mate soon.

My cell phone beeped and I looked to see that it was a text from Vanessa.

Did you see Malory? She had written. I quickly replied with a no.

Malory was the one to start the performance and I smirked when I thought about it. She was about to make fun of the person who starts the performance but this time, she herself got stuck and it was because of me. The poor girl had insisted that I and her be standing beside each other while Stella, the teacher of Modern Art class has refused.

Malory was furious about this and she kicked Stella’s car unaware that Stella was right behind her. The punishment was for her to start the performance.

I laughed out loud when she said that to me in the phone. Malory has a knack of getting into troubles since childhood.

I really wondered where she was considering she has to start the performance, thanks to Stella, who hates us because we are from the rival dancing class. Our class has won lots of competition and so she hates us.

Oh, okay. Stella was asking for her. Vanessa replied.

Vanessa was also with us in the dance. She was already in the ground floor along with Twin bro’s.

The guys, except Twin bro’s, didn’t know that we girls are in the Flash mob performance. Hence, it is going to be a surprise for Cortez, Granel and Duncan.

It is useless to hide from Tyson, since he is the current Alpha of this pack. He would suspect it when we come here all of a sudden and so I had told him everything. He was okay with it. He and Tyler had also come with me to watch my last flash mob performance along with my parents. But my parents weren’t in town now.

As promised to ma, pa has taken her to three month long vacation. They were almost free now and so they wanted to enjoy their time together.

I was initially really upset when I came to know my pa was involved. But then when he honestly told me that he wasn’t involved, I believed him. My pa would never do such a thing and I was happy I was proved right. What Uncle Grier did with my pa was selfish and wrong but then Uncle Grier was selfish, after all he did help the rogues in killing his own son.

He only lied to us about burying Orion, but given his state of mind, mine and my ma’s, I can understand why he lied. I was glad that my brother did get a proper funeral. He deserved it.

Pa, never once asked me why I became O and he didn’t need to either. He knew what circumstances had occurred for me to become O. He just didn’t bring the topic of O at all. Ma knows I am O and she didn’t say anything about it. She knew O had given justice to her son and so she will be grateful to O.

Amidst all this, if you are wondering what happened to O? Then let me tell you that O died. O died the moment, Cortez decided to forgive pa. O died and was then buried too.
