The next morning, Gianna stayed home. She didn't want to go out, afraid of running into her mate and facing rejection. The pain of it was horrible, almost unbearable for an Omega.
Gianna got up, got dressed, and went downstairs to have breakfast with her grandparents. They asked why she didn't go to class, and she simply said she didn't feel like it. Her grandparents knew her reasons but didn't say anything.
Instead of bombarding her with uncomfortable questions, they asked about her transformation and what her wolf was like. She happily described her wolf, and with so much joy that the wolf, Xena, made an appearance, her eyes shining through Gianna's.
The grandparents greeted Xena and asked her to take good care of Gianna. The wolf was very cordial with them, and then Gianna regained control.
Her grandparents took the opportunity to train with her and Xena. They were delighted with how precious she was. Not just that, Xena’s posture, agility, and bearing set her apart from other Omegas. They believed it was due to Gianna’s own spirit. They believed they complemented each other perfectly.
The training was intense, but Xena excelled. She was incredibly active and moved like a leaf in the wind.
While they were hard at training, somewhere else, Marianna was creating a scene. She arrived with her dress stained and a sticky mess in her hair.
Several people surrounded her, offering comfort. Many pack members were worried about her. She was beautiful and very popular; many wanted to be her friend or her mate.
"What's wrong, beautiful? Calm down. Who did this to you?" asked the team captain.
With tears in her eyes, Marianna replied that it was her sister, that this always happened, and that Gianna never faced consequences because she was her sister, and their father would never hurt her.
"Gianna is out of line! Why does she hate you so much? She just takes advantage of your good heart," said one of her friends, comforting her while knowing perfectly well it was the opposite.
"Why aren't you training?" A voice boomed, making everyone turn. As everyone expected, it was the Alpha King.
Everyone apologized and headed to training, everyone except Marianna, who continued to play the victim.
Mariana was friends with the Alpha, although in truth, she had been in love with him forever. That's why she had turned him against Gianna, knowing full well her sister’s hidden beauty.
"Tell me, Marianna, what happened," he asked, approaching her.
"It was her… She did it again. I don't know what she gets out of it," she sobbed, throwing herself into his arms. The Alpha comforted her and looked at her.
"Don't worry, you know I'm here for you. I'll have her punished. How does that sound?" he said, and she shook her head.
"No, Jack… Don't do it. She's my sister, and I love her."
He looked at her and smiled.
"Strong and kind-hearted. You could teach her a lesson if you wanted to," he said, and she nodded, tears still in her eyes.
"I know, but she's family." She hugged him, inhaling his scent. She was incredibly drawn to him, especially considering what being the Luna of his pack entailed.
He ordered someone to get her new clothes and promised her that he would avenge her, that none of Gianna’s offenses would go unpunished. He promised that her tears wouldn’t be in vain.
"Thank you, Jack, I don't know what I would do without you," she said, kissing him on the corner of his lips before walking away.
The Alpha returned to oversee training while telling his friends what had happened. He said they had to do something, that so many attacks on Marianna couldn't go unpunished.
"Why doesn't he talk to their father, demand that he put a stop to it?" said one of his friends.
"I'm the King, and I have the power to exile or crush her. I don't do it because of the friendship between the Beta and my parents and because Marianna is so kindhearted that she doesn't want me to," he replied.
"So, everything will stay the same?" asked another.
"Of course not, I'll think of something. I just need a clear head. Right now, my anger is clouding my judgment," he responded.
"You like Marianna, don't you?" they asked, and he nodded.
"Yes, she's beautiful, sweet, kind, and strong. She'd be a perfect Luna. I'm just waiting to see if my mate, or hers, doesn't show up."
They nodded in agreement.
"So, everything is ready for the party tonight?" one of them asked.
"Yes, several packs are invited. My father thinks this way I can rule out the possibility of my mate being out there before I accept anyone else." They agreed.
"Sounds good to me. Tonight, you'll become a lovesick fool, you'll see," another teased, and he glared at them, but they just laughed. They were such good friends that, despite him being the King, they got along great.
Night fell, and at Gianna's house, it was pure madness. Dresses, makeup, everyone was running around like crazy.
Almost at the last minute, Gianna's father informed her of the party. Although she already knew, she just put her hair in its usual ponytail and put on a dress Marianna had given her, apparently on their father's orders. It was long-sleeved and floor-length, like her usual clothes, but more elegant and skirt-like.
Gianna's sister looked stunning in a very sexy and pretty dress, and her mother, just like her father, was very elegant. Her grandparents as well. Gianna walked out and sprayed herself with perfume. The last thing she wanted was for her mate to find her today.
Marianna was gorgeous, with her straight black hair, blue eyes, and a body like a magazine model. Her lips were full and tempting.
Her dress was black suede, with a sweetheart neckline, no sleeves, and form-fitting, hugging every curve. It had a slit on one side starting from her thigh, exposing her entire leg. Her hair was loose, and she wore diamond earrings and black heels.

Gianna, on the other hand, was beautiful in a very different way. Her hair was long and blonde, her eyes sky blue, her lips full and pink, and her body was lovely, with a small waist, just as beautiful as her mother.
Gianna's dress was green, straight cut, with long sleeves and a high round neck. It was a little tight at the waist. She felt comfortable.

They all headed to the party, and as usual, all eyes were on Marianna. She was beautiful, and tonight she looked sexier than ever. Gianna, on the other hand, went to the most secluded spot, hoping it would be over soon.
