Chapter 43 The Festival



"I also wanted to tell you the same thing when you told me there was a human among the attackers but I didn't know how to say it. I thought it would be unfair to you since you are the one who was their target," Audrey said soberly.

"Both vampires, werewolves and humans suffered a great deal to attain this peace treaty we have been enjoying for thirty years. The incident that took place earlier will threaten the peace of the three races if your people learn about it….,"

"And I am very sure this is exactly what the mastermind wanted. I mean there is no way my brother would have taken things lightly if they had successfully killed me", Jocelyn said firmly.

"Whoever planned this is an enemy of the three races. I wonder what he wants to achieve by trying to cause a rift between the three races," Audrey thought aloud.

"Whatever he desires by trying to cause a wedge between us, let's not give it to him. I mean his plan will be a total failure if we don't tell anyone about it right?" Jocelyn asked, trying to get a confirmation from Audrey that she agreed with her suggestions.

"Is this what you want? You got hurt by them…,"

"I would rather that the three races be at peace than try to get Justice for myself. I was trained to always look at the overall situation and that is exactly what I am doing. I am sure my Elder brother would be happy if he learned about this," Jocelyn smiled happily as she picked up her prey she had dropped on the floor.

"We are late. Let's go. I am sure the festival must have started," Jocelyn said as she led the way.

On reaching the town square Jocelyn wasn't surprised to see that the festival had begun.

She has expected this much so why would she still be surprised?

Carl, Rachel, Joanna and the remaining of Jocelyn's bodyguards that were staring in the direction of the forest hurried to meet the two ladies when they saw them from afar.

Carl and his men collected the prey from the ladies while Joanna and Rachel spun Audrey and Jocelyn around respectively to confirm that they were fine.

"What kept you both so long until it was dark? What if something terrible had happened to you both?" Rachel scolded the two ladies.

"Drey, I recall ordering you to take care of yourself, is this how you look after yourself…,"

"Rach, Joanna, you both can nag us as much as you want but not right now. I mean the festival is bubbling right now, I don't want to miss out on the fun," Jocelyn said in excitement.

All that was on Jocelyn's mind at the moment was having fun, making great memories with her new friends and most importantly making the most out of the remaining time she had left with them.

"Celyn…,"

Jocelyn held Audrey's right hand and pulled the girl along with her before Rachel could get to scold her.

"Let's freshen up and come join the others. We can't avoid being later than we already are," Rachel heard Jocelyn say these words while dragging Audrey in the direction of the packhouse.

It took Jocelyn and Audrey just a matter of thirty minutes to get ready and arrive at the venue of the festival which was at its peak at the moment.

On seeing what Jocelyn was wearing Rachel stood up from where she sat, held Jocelyn's hand and pulled her to a corner where the music playing would not overpower her voice.

"There was a green dress placed on your bed. I am sure you knew it was prepared for you to wear to the festival so why didn't you wear it and choose to wear this instead?" Rachel asked as she took a closer look at the clothes Jocelyn wore.

Instead of the green dress prepared for her, Jocelyn was wearing blank shiny leather trousers, a pair of black heels boots, a red long sleeve leather shirt and big round earrings.

Instead of wearing light makeup that befits her title as the princess, she wore dark makeup like she was going to the pub.

"The Alpha had the maids prepare the clothes for you. You know he will give you an earful if he sees you dressed this way…,"

"And what is wrong with what I am wearing, Rach? Also, this is not a ball party so why should I settle for a dress or skirts instead of what makes me comfortable?"

"How does he expect me to dance and go wild in a dress? Don't you know how uncomfortable it feels?" Jocelyn asked.

"A lady shouldn't…,"

"If you are worried that my brother will cause a scene then let me tell you that you are worried for nothing. He dotes on me and will not be able to do that…,"

"But…,"

"I have got this Rach so chill and let's have fun. Don't forget that we might never get to see our new friends again after tomorrow comes so let's not be so uptight. Let's try to make beautiful memories with them," Jocelyn winked naughtily at Rachel.

She tapped Rachel on the shoulder before she walked over to where Audrey and Joanna sat.

"Don't you know that this is not the way to enjoy a party?" Jocelyn's voice that was filled with excitement interrupted what the two ladies were doing.

"You don't enjoy a party by sitting but you enjoy a party by dancing, shaking and twisting every freaking muscle in your body," Jocelyn demonstrated by twisting her slender waist and swinging her right hand in the air.

When the ladies won't stand up, Jocelyn stretches her hand and pulls them off the chair.

"We are beautiful ladies. The rarest of them all. We have the shape and the looks, let's show everyone what we ladies are made of. Let's dance till we drop," Jocelyn pulled them along with her to the dance floor which was the hottest at the moment.

Jocelyn was too distracted to see her brother waving at her from his seat to get her attention.

Anyways even though she saw him, she would have acted like she didn't since she could already guess what he would say.

After dragging the ladies to the dance floor, Jocelyn returned to where the ladies previously sat.

She squatted in front of Anthony. "Tony, stay here with Carl while me, Audrey and your sister dance ok. You can also have fun too but never leave his sight," Jocelyn said softly.

"Ok," Anthony replied with a nod.

"What a good boy you are," Jocelyn caressed his face. She stood up afterwards to address Carl.

"Starting from this moment your duty is to protect him for the night. You can join your friends and have fun but never must he leave your side ok," Jocelyn said sternly.

"The Alpha specifically ordered us…,"

​ "That wasn't a request but an order ok. My brother won't do anything to you if he learns that it was my order," Jocelyn said firmly. She spun and walked away in big strides. She didn't give Carl the chance to keep on arguing with her.

"Now that I have settled this problem, I and the girls can go wild as much as we want tonight," Jocelyn murmured grinning.

On the dance floor, the excited Jocelyn spared her time to teach Joanna who doesn't know how to dance.

"You are doing it wrong. Watch and learn how it is done," Jocelyn was more than happy to demonstrate the dance moves again.

With her hands in the hair, she twisted her slender waist to the rhythm of the music.

After her demonstration, Joanna wearing blue denim and a white shirt repeated the dance moves. And this time around she got it correctly.

"Yeah, that is how it is done. Haha…," Jocelyn laughed heartily.

As everyone danced and enjoyed themselves, the once fresh air got mixed up with the smell of alcohol, cigarettes, and sweats.

Everyone was too excited to care about this. They made the best out of the festival that happens only once a year.

About three hours later the music was momentarily paused. And the result of the hunting competition was announced.

Among a hundred people who participated in the hunting competition, Jocelyn still made the top ten list.

Even Audrey who was a visitor got herself the title of the top ten best hunters of Golden Core Pack.

When it came to sharing the reward Audrey tried to reject it but the Alpha insisted that she must accept the gifts of gold, daggers and money.

Audrey had no choice but to accept the gift. And Joanna, who couldn't join the hunt, was very excited on her friend's behalf.

After the announcement, the Alpha, Noah and his other bodyguards left the venue of the party after spending another ten minutes there.

With the Alpha gone, the pack members got wilder. Carl had no other option but to take Anthony home when the party got heated up to the fullest.

Seeing people kiss and romance each other, he knew it wasn't healthy for a small boy of Anthony's age.
