I spent most of Saturday checking out the fancy short sleeveless gown that I bought from the shopping the other day. "I can't wait to rock it" I happily thought.
Tomorrow is the most talked about birthday of our new Alpha and Khloe had phoned me that we should go get our hairs done. "We have to look good, you know," Khloe kept saying.
"Ding dong" my doorbell rang, I quickly rushed to answer it knowing who the person was.
The moment I opened the door, Khloe looked at me from head to toe and screamed. Ahhh! Ella!!… "why are you still in your PJ? I thought, you were all set for the salon by now? "Sorry…!I had been admiring my
dress, but I couldn't help it. Sorry! "Let me go get dressed immediately. I ran as fast as I could back to my room to freshen up.
I came downstairs, to meet Khloe watching her favourite movie series with Mrs. Livingstone. "Hey, girl I'm done. Can we go now? Sluggishly she got up. Bye! Mrs. Livingstone we both chorused. And left.
The ride to the salon was just a 30-minute ride. Khloe paid for the Uber and we walked inside the salon.
"Welcome to "beauty salon" the human stylist welcomed us with a smiley face. "Thank you…I bent down to look at the name tag clipped on top of her breast pocket.. "Rita. "What can we help you with? Miss. We want a good hairstyle. Khloe answered.
"Please have a seat, let's get started then. She untied my long blonde hair, applied a few oils, and washed it. Please miss, do you want it styled up or down? She asked. I wanted it down once you're done straightening it. While she was making mine, Khloe was also getting hers done by another stylist.
It took us one hour to finish and head back to our pack.
"See you tomorrow, wavering at Khloe. Meanwhile, "you look beautiful," I complimented her. Haha..she laughed. "Thank you' Ella. "See you tomorrow' bye. She wavered back and left for her den.
I got home feeling so tired. Luckily for me, nobody was at home.So, I brought out my dress and hung it close to my bed. I had already hung up my dress in my wardrobe
and hadn't fully decided on what shoes I wanted
wear.
Then, I quickly took my bath and went straight to bed.
The night came by quickly, and everyone was seriously preparing for the birthday party of our new alpha.
"Buzz! "Buzz. The sound of my phone ringing woke me up. "Hello? Sounding low and sleepy. "Have you been sleeping? I heard Alex's voice coming from the other end of the phone. "I'm Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up. He apologised. " I just wanted to check up on you and remind you that " we will be meeting by 7:00 pm at my house tomorrow. "So go back to sleep and see you tomorrow'. "Alright, Alex, see you tomorrow ".
When the call dropped, I checked the time it was just 6:00 "Woah! " I exclaimed. I was so hungry so I rushed to the kitchen to make a light dinner. After eating I went back to my room, walked up to the mirror, and looked at myself with all admiration. "Dad and Mother would be so proud of you," I said to myself, pointing to my reflection.
The knock on my door got me distracted. " come in,
Mrs. Livingstone walked in smiling. "You're beautiful my dear. "Thank you," I said shyly. "Are you preparing for the new alpha's birthday? "Yes, I answered her. Good!
You might meet your mate there. She teased. "Don't you think so? She asked. I nodded my head smiling. So dress in your best okay? I shyly nodded my head. She hugged me and left. I was still in my world of imagination when I slept off.
I woke up feeling so excited, I don't know why my wolf who has been hidden ever since my parents died decided to show up. Scarlett has been over the moon since this morning. "Scarlett? Why did you choose to come out today? " I missed you" I only missed our mate. She teased me. "No way! Scar, " I know you missed me too. " yes I do".
After playing around with Scar, I went to the bathroom to freshen up before going downstairs to help Mrs. Livingstone make breakfast.
"Good morning Mrs. Livingstone, turning her back she replied. " good morning my dear" Hope you slept well? " Yes, I did Ma". My wolf came out today, I told her. " oh! That's nice Ella, I'm so happy for you. "Thank you ma" That could be a sign you know, she said, shrugging her shoulders. " Let's keep our fingers crossed," she added.
So, after breakfast, I did the dishes and went back to my room. So I thought about my friends and decided to call and check on them,
Khloe was the first to answer. "Hey, Ella." you are glowing this morning, "What's the secret? Hmmm..nothing serious just that Scarlett is back. "Woah! "Woah!! I heard Khloe shouting at the other end. "Scarlett is back, that means mate is close… wow! "Wait! Khloe we don't know that yet "Yes we do! I can't wait to see him. Khloe declared. " Me too' I chipped in. So "dress in your best, mr mate is coming to town! Khloe just couldn't control her happiness. " Yes, of course, girl. We both laughed.
When I ended the call, I decided to take a short nap so I wouldn't have to sleep during the party. So, I turned on my alarm at 4 o'clock. To enable me to wake up on time to prepare for the event. Then I slept off.
"brringggg" "brringggg"..the alarm was ringing nonstop. I angrily pushed it down, it was so loud and was disturbing my sweet sleep. Wait! It's the alpha's birthday!
My head clicked and I jumped out of bed. I picked up my phone to call my friends but surprisingly I saw 16 missed calls from both of them. I quickly called Alex.
"Hi, Alex, I just woke up to see your missed calls. What's up? "Plans have changed. We are no longer meeting at my place, I will come to your den by 7 to pick you up. The party will be starting by 8 pm. He urgently said and ended the call. Hmm.. That was too quick' I thought.
I grabbed my towel and headed to the bathroom..brushed my teeth and quickly showered, avoiding not getting my already-made hair wet. I shaved and had a quick shower. Once I was done, I dried my body and applied lotion all over my body.
Then, I sat in front of the mirror to do my makeup.I decided to keep my look simple with foundation,
mascara, and a little bit of eyeshadow and eyeliner to your look.
"My beautiful Ella, I heard Mrs. Livingstone's voice.
"You are not yet ready? "Your friends are you in the living room waiting. "What's the time? I asked.
It's almost past 7. "Shit! I cursed. Mrs Livingston gave me a warning look. "Sorry," but they didn't tell me that they were here already. I complained.
"You must get ready quickly. I put on my underwear and brought out my gown from where I hung it and wore it. with a pair of small black heels with matching jewelry..
. "Wow! You're looking so beautiful. "Your parents will be so happy to see you all grown and beautiful.
She complimented me while zipping up my gown. Then she oiled my hair and allowed the curls to dangle and my back.
The moment I came downstairs, the first thing I heard was Alex's voice."You look so good, girl!" Ella? You look so gorgeous. Khloe complimented, "Thank you, you both look amazing. I commented smiling shyly.
"So let's go have some fun! Alex exclaimed. I looked at Mrs. Livingston and smiled. She smiled back at me, rubbed my mate, and said. "Go get your mate'. I smiled muttering "Thank you".
"So, are you excited? Alex questioned, his eyes
following mine. I nodded; I was looking forward to it.
"Yeah, I am.
"It's going to be fun. "Yeah,' Alex agrees. Khloe smiled. I could see the excitement in her eyes.
We walked down to where Alex parked his car, got in, and drove off. It took around 20 minutes to arrive, Alex was so lucky to get a good space to park.
The alpha's new den was huge, bigger than the former den and any pack den I had ever seen. It was beautifully decorated,
Music blared loudly, the beats of the music already
streaming through our bodies, giving us the urge to dance.so we stopped by a table to grab drinks before heading to the dance floor.
So, I started dancing, shaking my hips, and moving my body to the beat of the music. Then Khloe joined me as Alex watched from where he was seated, sipping his wine and hitting on girls.keeping an eye on us.
"Khloe my drink has finished, "I will go grab some drinks, ok? She nodded. While dancing and laughing with some random guy.
As I made my way to the kitchen, I caught an unusual scent.
The scent hit me like a train had hit me. A wave of anxiousness and anticipation crept up.
My wolf was jumping up and down within my mind wanting to take over.
The scent was intoxicating, keeping her at bay. "Mate! "Mate!!.
Then, I saw him..
