The wedding party.
It was already evening and the engagement party starts in three hours. Most people go into the mating ritual immediately but this alpha wanted a big engagement party to show that he is wealthy or they want to hide the fact that they want to take over the future Luna's pack. if I am entirely honest, Lydia deserved it.
It is meant to be a three-day event. It starts with an introductory dinner. All alphas, their Lunas and important personalities of different packs will attend the dinner. It is very private and only specific maid can serve. Thankfully, I wasn't chosen to serve at the dinner. Then the ball where everyone will be in attendance. They even gave us uniforms for the first time. From what I heard from other maids that have stayed longer, it is a very beautiful and big party and they will be a lot of beautiful and handsome wolves and betas there. The alpha wanted a masquerade party for his engagement he says he wants to create some kind of suspense – whatever that means. Then the wedding and the next day is the mating ritual. The mating ritual binds wolves together and makes them stronger. That is why the mating ritual is the most important and why she-wolves go for strong and gifted wolves. The after that will be the last dinner to celebrate the union of the couple. That one is more private than the others. Only alphas and their mates are allowed.
My plan is to find my real pack at any cost and that is why I am attending the party. I waited for Karla. I knew she will find a way. The dinner was almost over and I have not heard or seen Karla. I told her exactly what I wanted and I know she will get it for me at any cost necessary. I was pacing round the room waiting for her. It was almost time for the party and I was already losing hope. Just when I was about to leave the room and go look for her, she entered the room with something wrapped in a black cloth and shoes. I was honestly relived
"What took you so long?" I asked her.
"I had to serve at the dinner and you know that." She answered and shut the door. "Crane asked of you." She informed me.
"And what did you tell him?"
"That you were sick in bed and couldn't heal." She told me. Wolves that can't transform take more time to heal.
"Did you get it?"
"Yes." She spoke. She unwrapped the black cloth and brought out a black lace dress with a black lace mask.
"This will be enough to do the job, right? I went through great lengths to get it." She said and raised the dress to my eye view.
The dress was really nice. It didn't show much but at the same time it gave a kind of seductive vibe to it. It had a little V-neck line which I am sure will expose a little bit of clearage and a deep high slit. I was sure it was going to steal the show.
"Thank you, Karla." I told her sincerely.
"It is nothing. Here is an invitation." She said and gave me the invitation card to the party, "stole it room one of the rooms. Since I told Crane you are sick, I will be taking your place. Good luck." She said and left the room.
I put the dress close to my chest and looked at my self through the broken mirror in our room. I knew I had to do this. It was the only way I could get answers and stop Crane and his brother from getting more power.
I made sure to take a good look and I stole Lydia's makeup beforehand. I didn't do the type of makeup that Lydia always does, I did something mild that only enhanced my features. I finally wore the dress and Karla really out did herself. She really knew what fit me and what didn't. The dress looked amazing on me. I wore the mask and I knew it was showtime.
