..."Wake Up"...

The sunlight peeks into the bedroom down the obsidian-wood rimmed glass-fronted windows, The stretched sunlight rays casting down onto the polished floor.

Lighting up the room as it reflects into the floor.

Faint sounds of footsteps echo from the outside of the bedroom door, steps grow louder, approaching.

A faint knock raps onto the door followed by a soft voice;

"Scarlet, open the door"

The girl shifted on the bed, the bed creaks faintly under her weight, she covered her face with a pillow, her face digging in.

"Damn it" she muttered under her breath,

The knock on the door raps harder this time, the voice now firm.

"open the door, Scarlet, wake up."

The girl sat up, her hair messed up like she'd come from a battlefield, her face dazed with sleepiness.

"Aghh" she groaned, frustrated

"these people won't let me be" she complains.

She pushed herself off the bed, yanking away the blanket as if it had offended her personally, her footsteps echoed hard as she slammed them onto the floor while walking to the door.

Her face etched into a horrible expression as if she'd kill anyone who dares to come to her sight, frustrated and annoyed she gripped her fingers around the threshold while groaning again as one more knock appeared.

Finally, she opened the door, the door opens with a creaking sound that annoyed her more.

There, was standing a woman with furrowed brows as she looked at the girl's state.

" Heavens, Scarlet you are still not ready?" the woman said with a calm yet firm voice.

"Mom, why are you bothering me!" she exclaimed dramatically, falling over her knees.

"I came back from the City, just three days ago, and you aren't even letting me sleep!" she complained, faking her sobs.

The woman bent down enough to reach for her ear, she grasped her left ear between her thumb and forefinger, twisting it while tilting upwards

She winched as the pain throbs "Ahh! Mom! Don't do that!"

Her mother left her ear, which instantly turned red, she spoke;

"Silly girl, don't you forget that The Alpha of Shadow Pack is visiting us today"

She continues with a calm voice "The Alpha Castien Blake would be arriving by the Noon, and it's already 10:00 A.M."

She added firmly "get ready for the afternoon events, we will be waiting downstairs. All the preparations are done, and we expect dignity and grace in the meeting"

The girl groaned, yet obeyed her with a forced nod.

The door closed shut with a heavy thud as she slammed it close.

She then, headed towards the bathroom attached with the room, she approached the bathroom door, opening it while her expressions stayed terrible.

She scoffs "This is ridiculous."

she added. "Why such preparations and blah blah blah, for someone who almost burnt out pack to ashes?"

She stormed into the bathroom, the fluorescent light flickering to life as she slammed the door behind her.

The sudden quiet was a welcome respite from the chaos swirling outside.

She marched over to the sink, the cool ceramic a soothing presence beneath her fingertips. Leaning forward, she splashed cold water onto her face, letting it seep into her pores, washing away the frustration.

The droplets trickled down her cheeks, mingling with the tears of frustration she'd held back.
