STARDUST

Hana

With negative thoughts on my mind I got ready for dinner. Since it was summer, it was hot in the evening as well.

But in this place it was a little chilly , I put on a no shoulders white shirt with a black corset on top and a long dark green skirt. With my black sandals.

I loved those vintage clothes , it made me feel like I belonged to another era .

My chestnut long hair was in waves and I put a light make up with sparks on my eyes.

I loved sparks.

My bracelets and rings filled my hands, made me feel more like myself.

"Oh, you look gorgeous."

My mom complimented me as Ricky my little brother came running towards me.

"Where were you little buddy?"

"I was playing with my friends." He pouted as I took him in my arms.

"Oh you are heavy for a ten year old boy." I faked a surprised face.

"I'm a big boy." Ricky smiled showing his little teeth.

"Come on, we are getting late. We don't want the alpha to arrive there before us." Robert made an apologetic face to my mother.

We walked on foot since the distance was short until we arrived at the place.

It was kind of an outside restaurant, with a huge long wood table. When we approached the people gathered there turned their attention towards us, or better say towards me.

Many eyes on me.

Were they looking at me because I was new? Okay new girl in town. Now stop staring is rude.

I wanted to tell them to stop staring but I was always a polite girl so I forced a smile and followed my family.

Ricky held my hand as if understanding I was feeling under pressure.

As soon as we were about to sit everyone got on their feet like soldiers straightening their shoulders.

"Stand up." My mother whispered signaling me to do as others did.

Were we watching a turkish or albanian movie ? That we had to stand up when the old man arrived?

But to my surprise it was not an old man, it was a young one with deep blue eyes and black hair .

I stared at him shamelessly while the others avoided looking at him .

We were at a very large distance because he was at the beginning of the table and we were near the end ,but I felt his eyes on me. He had a shocked expression on his face. Didn't he know I was coming?

Then his eyes were strange like darkened more and he was keeping himself from bursting out at any moment. What did he have against me? It looked like he hated me, like he didn't want me there .

Or I may have been imagining it since I didn't have my glasses with me and he was sitting at a large distance from me.

'Alpha'. I heard here and there as people bowed their head to him. People bowed their head? Weird , I was looking at them with wide eyes.
