Her possessive alpha

　　The peace ball

　　It had been a hell of a meeting, a meeting which lasted for almost two days. Lucas had just returned back to the packhouse and to his chambers that night, he met Ava on his bed, sleeping soundly. It was as if she sensed his presence, because her eyes fluttered open not too long after he walked in, she met his eyes staring at her.

　　She sat up, letting out a yawn while stretching her arms before speaking to him.

　　“How are you love? What was the meeting all about?”

　　“It’s the peace ball.”

　　The peace ball, she mumbled the word silently in her lips as she tried to recall what it was. She knows about the peace ball; she’d been taught so much about it during busk sessions, she remembered Luna Mitchell’s words in her head about the ball.

　　‘The peace ball is the biggest and grandest occasion in which all pack leaders around the world gather to attend yearly. The ball was named after a peace treaty signed decades ago by each prominent leader of wolf territories. The treaty which stated that all packs would live in harmony with one another and not attempt to conquer each other’s territories like they did before which cost many lives, and an annual ball was celebrated in commemoration of the treaty. The only ones who failed to keep to the treaty were the rogues, who go from one pack to another, destroying their forces in an attempt to claim their lands and take over the leadership.

　　‘Alpha Lucas De’ Clan was always an important mentioned element whenever it came to matters regarding the peace ball. He was well respected in all the lands because he’d taken care of those rogues, forming an alliance after his curse to get rid of them and restore the lives of the pack members they’d destroyed. Some of these members left their former packs to join alpha Lucas’s pack, the dawn pack which offered them a sanctuary and a life that wolves from other packs where not privileged to enjoy. This sanctuary of the dawn pack was where all the leaders always voted to host the peace ball yearly, because of its ravishing beauty and its large size whose halls could contain as many guests as possible, and besides, alpha Lucas was the wealthiest alpha and could handle the expenses of the ceremony. No other leaders had ever bothered to build such a sanctuary for their pack members, which is why the dawn pack, even though the newest, remained the biggest and the most successful, followed by the moonlight pack.’

　　All the wolf leaders from around the world will be there she thought, which means Ray and Ethan will be there too. She gasped.

　　“So that’s what the meeting was all about. All the leaders voted for the ball to be hosted here like they do every other year? That’s why it was so important for you to be there?”

about that. I thought about it earlier, and since I’m the one hosting it again this year, I’ll make it a mask themed event. Hopefully, he won’t be able to recognize you so easily if you stay far enough from him, and we shouldn’t have a problem since I’m the only one who knows
