SURPRISE

Chapter 7 Surprise

Inside the spacious ballroom decorated with beautiful red roses and pink carnations, are a crowd of people enjoying each other’s company.

If a normal person would happen to pass by, they would think of these people as normal high-class individuals casually socializing with each other.

But no, 80% of the people inside are werewolves, the others are other creatures along with humans.

Aside from the Dusk Dawn pack, 4 other more pack representatives arrived to celebrate Zane’s birthday and social debut.

Most of them had heard about the Dusk Dawn Alpha’s reckless and outgoing daughter, quickly creating the image of a bratty princess, a spoiled one at that. Some of them had gotten used to Alpha’s throwing big parties to flaunt their precious daughters who had nothing to do but pamper herself and demand things.

“Alpha Lester ran out of luck, he does not have a son to pass his throne to, but a spoiled daughter.”

“Certainly, what a waste.” shaking their heads while sipping the glass of champagne served for them.

Victoria, who happens to pass by their place, overheard their conversation and listened for a while before leaving with a huge grin. Yes, this is what she had long been wanting to achieve, create a huge rift between their personalities and character.

The more that people see Zane as an unreasonable bratt, the more the pack would think that she is better, no, if possible she wants to be the best.

For the past 19-20 years of her life, she had lived with her hopeless adopted family who got nothing better to do than make her feel unwanted. Now, this time that she has a father she can call her own, then she will do everything in her will to get what she wanted.

Even if she has to push away the other child. Victoria thought of  how lucky Zane is to be with their father, she hated her for receiving all the love while she was suffering inside that house she calls a cell.

As everyone went around and tried to build connection with each other, the huge double door slowly flung open revealing a silhouette of two people side by side.

The once noisy hall filled with cluttering, chattering and elegant music went in an abrupt stop as they all glanced to see who arrived.

“Let us all welcome, our birthday celebrant of the night, Miss Zane Fangs.” the host announced as everyone gasped as they took sight of the woman striding down the white carpet.

Everyone held their breath while their eyes feasted on the gorgeous women who looked as beautiful as the roses decorating the hall. The skirt of her dress draped across the floor as she strode with confidence and an alluring smile on her lips.

Vivacious, beautiful and charming, no words seem to fit what the people view her as. Their eyes glimmered with excitement as they realized who this gorgeous woman was.

‘Zane Fangs’ who said she is a brat, this woman before them clearly is a mature and dominant woman no man can say no to.

“Beautiful” Zane continued to walk down the carpet with a small smile in her lips, behind her is Olivia who had a huge smirk on her lips, flaunting her beauty and feeling extremely proud of her best friend.

“Is she the infamous Zane Fangs?” a man nudged the person beside him who also stood there appreciating the beautiful sight granted for them.

“Her name fits her so well.” another lady chimed.

“Indeed.”

“Even I, If I have a daughter as beautiful as her, then I would pamper her, give her whatever she wants.”

“Certainly, I would even give her my life, what the hell is this spell.”

“What a beauty, dang everyone in this hall is at the palm of her hand.”

“Is it bad that I am not even against it?”

The hall erupted into an obvious chatter as they gossiped among themselves. Zane ignored their looks of admiration and proceeded into walking towards the table where her father and the other pack’s alphas.

“Father, Alpha Jeoaneus, Alpha Krifter, Alpha Ruggeus, Alpha Briston, Uncle Oliver, the name is Zane Fangs, I humbly thank everyone for your appearance for this humble one’s social debut, may you live a longer life with a strong body.” elegantly taking courtesy as she flaunted the years of etiquette lessons she had received.

If Zane Fangs had something that a mere bastard child doesn't have, it is the type of education she received. Yes, Victoria looks pure and kind, more like a cute girl that needs protection. But she who lived her life with the etiquette of a true born noble child of a distinguished Alpha, it is just proper for her to appear as a strong woman she is.

“The pleasure is ours” various responds that she received one after the other as they deeply appreciated the woman before them. Her actions completely eradicated the foul image they thought of her.

“Everyone, this woman before you, is my precious eldest daughter, Zane Fangs.” Lester Fangs stood and announced as he raised a glass of wine in his hand. 

“And this is my youngest daughter, Victoria Fangs, who had just reunited with me. Now with my family complete, we hope for your guidance and acceptance. Cheers everyone!” he added as the spot light directed to the sisters who stood opposite each other, completely contrasting each other's look.

Raising their glass as they shouted cheers and congratulations before the party officially started.

“Lester, you really took me by surprise this time, you hid your daughter really well, what a beauty she is!” Ruggeus Blakesley, Alpha of the Moonshine pack from the west, exclaimed. A father of 2 sons and 1 daughter, frank and brawny, he sticks to his principles no matter what.

The other Alpha’s and beta’s at the table nodded their heads as well. It really took them by surprise when Zane appeared before them completely different from the recent rumors.

Now that they think about it, those rumors appeared out of nowhere, making them think that whoever made it up, underestimated the woman.

“I was surprised by my daughter as well, but as much as I want to hide her, she deserves to be known. After all, as the potential Alpha of my pack, they both need to build their connections.” he reasoned, not leaving the fact that he has plans of giving the throne to his daughter, and not their mates.

“As always, you never took things lightly, If I was in your shoes, I would have given the throne to my daughter’s mate. But you believe in your daughters so much.” Briston Garrett said while bobbing his head and munching on the canapes at the table. Alpha Briston of Dark Crest pack from the Northwest, a father of 3 sons and a respectable Alpha for being the first one to make up a law where only the strongest among his children can be qualified for the throne, one that every pack member agrees to.

“Well you all have sons so you wouldn't dare think of giving the pack to your daughters,  us who were gifted with daughters can only think of ways on how and who to trust, only a blood relative can qualify.” Krifter Lowell, Alpha of the Blood Pact Pack from the north, who also was blessed with young daughters. He is known for being uptight but a slave for his daughters.

“Women can only become the luna, never to become alpha.” Jeoaneus Farkas, Alpha of the Lycanshire pack, an old fashioned ruler who thinks men are the one at the top, a patriarchal one at that. But this does not stop him from admiring the strong front that Zane showed them. He believes that women had the strength to overturn a country and defeat men with their words and allure.
