The party had started and it's been a good 30minutes since it has. I know that I was told not to go, but I couldn't keep quiet, I keep thinking that there must be something and that's why Ian didn't want me to go.

Quite cynical, I know but can you blame me?

I tiptoed my way downstairs and by the get go, there were so many people. I was under-dressed and that's why I pulled my hood over my head. They were all going in one direction and I was thankful enough that they didn't notice me.

A joyous atmosphere was present in the air and everyone talking amongst each other. After a while of lingering in the kitchen, I heard an announcement.

"The Alpha is now greeting the elders, the Gamma and the Delta back, everyone go in the ballroom." somebody announced.

For a moment, I froze.

Delta?

Did I hear that right?

My heart started pounding hard against my chest. Ian had a delta? And he never told me?

Deltas were a replacement of an Alpha's mate as long as he hasn't found her and she hasn't found hers.

It makes sense... of course Panselinos would have a Delta. They have to keep their pack strong, having no Luna would weaken them considerably.

I wanted to turn away and go back to my room. Maybe I really should've just stayed in my room. I was going to go back, but my feet had minds of their own. They followed the crowd and I hoped with all of my heart that Ian wouldn't sense me.

I tried to conceal my aura with all that I could, the only trick I learned in my old pack to hide from my abusers. It seemed to work because even though I was at the back of the crowd, a good 30 meters away from Ian who stood mightily in front, he couldn't sense me.

"Tonight, Panselinos welcomes back its precious warriors after months of absence." Ian started and the crowd cheered madly, proud of their leaders. "As you all know, they had a mission to fulfill by going around different packs and meeting the elders of the Capitol. I hope you that you all welcome them back with your warmest hospitality. Tonight, we celebrate." he raised a glass in the air and everyone raised theirs also while cheering.

"Without further ado, let's call our elders!" Ian announced and the crowd divided. Since I was standing by the entrance, I had to move away too. Soon, three elderly men and two elderly women wearing black cloaks started walking in. They passed by me and I immediately felt the aura that shrouded them. They were strong alright.

The crowd was cheering once again and when the elders arrived in front of their Alpha, they all bowed. Ian merely nodded towards them and they stood up, going to Ian's left and stood there.

"Of course, our Gamma. Elliot Benjamin." the Alpha said and smiled, genuinely happy. A tall man started striding down the hall. He was as tall, dirty blonde hair and power oozing out of him. I wasn't able to catch anything else but he did seem intimidating.

Again, the crowd went wild upon seeing their Gamma enter. Like the elders did, he bowed in reverence and after went to stand by the elders.

I hoped there would be no one after the Gamma. I hoped that the announcements were done. However, looking at Ian, I knew that it must've been true. He glanced uncomfortably over to Alec who was standing beside him before he started to talk again.

"Lastly, let's welcome Sierra Northon, Panselinos' Delta."

And there it was.

All the hurt I felt earlier when I realized that I wasn't any of Ian's first came back. Maybe she was his first. His first of everything. And me?
