Chapter five

THE BEGINNING Aliyah wanted a small party, not this, it was so loud and crowded, apparently leaving the party to Kesiah had not been a good idea, the girl had no idea what a low key gathering meant, it was surprising that a nerd like her could organize something of this sort, appearances really are deceiving. Shaking her head she made her way to get her self another drink, running into a very frustrated Kesiah. "what's wrong now," she asked the obviously distraught Keshia "everything will be wrong if we don't find a Dj in say, 15 minutes " she exclaimed waving her hands for emphasis "Okay, calm down, I'm sure there is someone we can call" "what do you mean! I've called everybody, listen I may look like this", she motioned to herself, dresses in a sleeveless black gown with her brunette hair in a loose bun, light makeup, and of course her nerd glasses "But I've got connections okay- oh I'm so sorry I shouldn't be talking to you about this you are the birthday girl...it's just that the Dj suddenly told me he has to leave soon due to a family emergency I basically had to beg him to spear me a few minutes ...urgh the fool how unprofessional can he be, that's what I get for hiring a high schooler...." "quiet, please stop, no more, I love you but you talk too much especially when nervous" placing her hands on Keshia's shoulders she trapped her gaze, trying to calm her down "Listen I'm sure a solution is closer than we think, just stay focused and breathe..' Aliyah slowly chided "OMG, you're right! Keshia suddenly exclaimed as her brown eyes lit up "thank you, you may not be dressed right but you sure think right" Keshia gave her a quick hug in excitement before scurrying off. Aliyah watched her petite friend runoff, God knows what's going through that mind of hers, she was so cute. smiling she looked at herself, she did not look too bad, okay maybe she was not so excited about the birthday when it finally arrived. she had put on a simple white dress and silver flats, her red locks left tumbling down her back, she did not bother with heavy makeup, it was a comfortable look. "hey Aliyah", she turned to see a couple of friends smiling at her. Here we go again with the unnecessary pleasantries. * A few minutes later... The hall was bursting with life, the excitement was off the roof. It seemed the new Dj was a pro the look of admiration on the faces of everyone present wolves and humans alike made Aliyah wonder who this new Dj was. Just then the sound of the mic was heard as the music stopped. Keshia rushed to her side stealing her from the group of friends she was chatting with "excuse me ladies and gentlemen I'm gonna steal the celebrant for a while" "excuse me " Alyiah added nodding towards the group As they left she turned to ask why the sudden arrest. A reply came before she could even make out any words "I know your curious ...as your closest person I've prepared a little something  to get you to loosen up" Aliya sighed nervously Keshia was crazy sometimes, so far there has been no surprise she couldn't handle and thankfully she was still mate-less, she did not need any unexpected happenings. "what's up people!?", the crowd screamed in response as the deep seductive voice of the Dj swept through the hall, Aliyah tried to catch a glimpse of who was speaking, she recognized that voice ... "This is dedicated to the most beautiful girl in the world, this night marks your first step to a whole new ###Chapter in your life, " the crowd parted as Aliyah made her way to the front, walking closer she recognized the person speaking wait a minute ...is that the arrogant Omega? she thought to herself, the hairs on her skin standing in horror and surprisingly a warm feeling stirred up within her, her wolf roaring to life for the first time this night. "This song is for you, do break the ice, honoring every one present tonight by dancing with anyone you choose" Elijah raised his head looking her straight in the eye, he finished up "happy birthday" in a sultry voice...one she would have been unable to resist in a normal situation. The music started. Drowning the cheers from the crowd but Aliyah did not hear any other thing as her world stopped, this must be a very expensive joke the moon Goddess was playing on her...the very person she detested was her mate!..to add insult to injury a common Omega, mated to an alpha ..it was unheard of. Alphas were mated to alphas, beta to another beta or and so on, balance was ensured that way, it had always been like that but now ..this did not make sense. Aliyah forgot that she stood there staring at Elijah who did not back down until she felt a slight nudge on her side. "hey, Aliyah what's wrong? everyone is waiting for you" Keshia chipped in lightly an uncertain edge to her voice.
