Chapter 48: Dance with me
Naomi had wanted to stroll down to the venue as it was quite close but Barton who was well aware of the Kitsunes who were out for her, pleaded with her to join them in the car which she reluctantly agreed to, not sure she’d be able to avoid Daniel.
Daniel soon came along, thanks to his scent, she knew he was coming downstairs to the kitchen. She had to get used to his scent from now on...but... what if she didn’t want to. She just didn’t want to accept the fact that she was mated to someone like Daniel (who was still a teenager) and with what happened there in the room she was sure she was loosing her restraint against him just like he was. She was considering rejecting him as an option.
When Daniel slid into the car, Not much was exchange between the cousins as Barton began moving after shifting the gears.

The venue was filled with lively chatters and the crowd of werewolves who were present was massive. However, thanks to Marcy and the people who had helped her, the place was very organized.
On a raised platform, there was a long table with chairs situated around. These were where people like the Alpha’s, Beta’s and their accomplices sat along with the elders of Dark Risers’s pack.
On another smaller table with just one chair, was the spot made for the soon-to-be Alpha... who was currently absent. No one minded but after several minutes had passed, almost to an hour or more, their curiosity got the best of them and soon, pandemonium set in when no one knew where he was.
Marcy tried calling but no one was picking up. She didn’t think Naomi would be at home as well so she didn’t bother calling her. She cast a nervous glance at the crowd and at the high table on the elevated platform.
The guests and elders were all staring at her which chilled her to her bone marrow. She felt embrassed and looked back at her phone as if expecting a call, her thumbnail between her teeth.
She could pick up a scoff from Alpha Koan and murmurs from the elders.
"Daniel I’m going to kill you for this." She silently threatened, looking through the crowd, hoping to see him.
