The Alphas Nightmare

Chapter 5

After saying goodbye to Amara and Brittaney, I made my way back to the pack house clutching my dress. The anticipation bubbled within me as I eagerly anticipated showing Daniel what I had chosen for our special occasion. Thoughts of his reaction danced through my mind, imagining the smile that would light up his face and the joy in his eyes when he saw me in the dress. It was an indescribable feeling, a mixture of excitement and nervousness, as I couldn't wait to hear his thoughts on it. Oh, how I wait to see his genuine reaction.

Not only did I think it would be perfect for our upcoming date, but it would also be great for the party on our pack land. As soon as I entered the pack house, I hurriedly made my way to our bedroom and linked Daniel to let him know I was back. To my surprise, he was stepping out of the shower and heading towards our bedroom.

With a smile on his face, Daniel asked me how shopping went, already anticipating my response since it's always the same. I couldn't contain my excitement and told him that I had an absolute blast. I eagerly wanted to show him the dress I purchased, convinced that he would love it just as much as I did. He chuckled and immediately walked over to the closet, grabbing his boxers and shorts along the way. Getting this dress not only meant something special for our date, but it also made me feel prepared and excited for the upcoming party on our pack land. Sharing my enthusiasm with Daniel and seeing his genuine interest and support only added to my joy. It's moments like these that make me grateful for having someone like him by my side, who appreciates and shares in my excitement about even the smallest things.

After he finished getting dressed, he came over and sat on the bed beside my dress. With a curious expression, he picked it up and examined it closely. Suddenly, he proposed an idea that caught me off guard. "I think there's only one thing left for you to do," he said with a mischievous grin. Perplexed, I asked him what he meant by that. He then suggested that I should put on a little fashion show just for him, wearing this very dress. According to him, it was the only way for him to truly determine whether or not he would love seeing me in it. As he raised his eyebrows playfully, he handed me the dress, knowing full well that this was his clever tactic to convince me to try it on in front of him.

As I took a moment to switch my clothes, I mustered up the courage to step out of the closet with the beautiful dress and shoes on. The look on Daniel's face was priceless - he was utterly amazed by my transformation. His jaw dropped in awe as he laid his eyes upon me. In that moment, it became clear to me that he didn't just like the dress, he absolutely adored it. I couldn't contain my joy when Daniel expressed his love for the outfit. It meant so much to me that he appreciated my sense of style and supported me in expressing myself authentically. Seeing his genuine excitement made me feel confident and proud of who I am. Knowing that he embraces and loves every part of me fills my heart with immense happiness. This experience has reminded me of the importance of being true to oneself and finding someone who truly accepts us for who we are.

With the thought of dinner lingering in my mind, I turned to Daniel and asked him a question that felt incredibly important at that moment. "So babe, what do you want for dinner?" Even though it was still 2 ½ hours away, I wanted to get a head start on preparing our meal. I wanted everything to be ready and perfect by the time we sat down at the table. There's something about the act of cooking and sharing a meal together that brings people closer. It's not just about satisfying our hunger, but also about creating moments of connection and warmth. As I stood there waiting for Daniel's answer, I couldn't help but imagine the delicious aromas that would soon fill our home. The sizzling sound of ingredients coming together in harmony, the tantalizing flavors dancing on our taste buds - it all seemed so inviting. By starting early, I hoped to make this evening even more special, to infuse every bite with love and care. So, as I eagerly awaited Daniel's response, I couldn't help but feel excited about the culinary adventure that awaited us later that evening.

I can understand the doubts that are crossing your mind. However, rest assured there is more to this story than what is seen. Despite the fact that there are members of the pack who are responsible for meals for not only us but everyone in our pack, Daniel and I have come up with a distinct arrangement. In a show of commitment to one another, we have decided to take turns cooking dinner for each other, a delightful tradition we have chosen to uphold every other night.

After enjoying a satisfying dinner, it was time for us to discuss the day's events and finalize the plan for our upcoming event here. Though I knew my birthday was off-limits, it didn't dampen my spirits. Our main focus was to plan our trip to the kingdom, the duration of our stay, and the preparations required upon our return for our highly anticipated annual party. Enthusiastically, I grabbed my trusty notebook and started jotting down notes as we dove into discussions about our upcoming event. This way, I didn't miss any crucial details and ensured that everyone involved in organizing the event had their tasks assigned, making the entire process a joyous experience.

Daniel overflowed with brilliant ideas, and I was beyond excited to begin materializing some of them together when we got back home from the kingdom. After our conversation, it became clear that our stay in the kingdom would only span a few days, not even a week, because of all the preparation that needed to be made for our event. I was excited that this year, we planned to invite my family, and also this year, we decided to also extend invitations to all the mateless wolves in my parents' kingdom. Our goal was to create opportunities for everyone to discover their destined mates, spreading joy and happiness all around.

One aspect that truly thrilled me about this year's party was the introduction of a masquerade theme, something we'd never attempted before! The most fantastic element of this decision was our collaboration with a quaint, local shop specializing in crafting masks specifically for such occasions. Owned by the lovely Greg and Silvia, who also happen to be members of our pack, there's nothing we enjoy more than supporting local businesses for events like these. And to make things even easier for everyone that is invited, we supply the masks for them. That is another way to make things fun. Everyone’s mask will be different, not one of them will be the same. But to make it easier for Greg and Silvia, the masks will only be black, silver and gold.

“Hey babe, I am going to go to Greg’s shop and give them the order in the morning. I know there are a few weeks before the party, but I want to give them time. I don't want them to feel rushed.” I wanted to let him know what my plans were for tomorrow. Daniel looked at me with loving eyes. “You are such a great woman. You are always thinking of others. I think that that is a great idea. I am going to come with you when you go. I have some things that I want to pick up while you go into town for our trip to go to your parents'.”

I smiled at him, feeling grateful for his support. “That sounds like a plan,” I replied, my voice filled with enthusiasm. “But you know what would make this even better? If we could get some custom decorations made for the party. It would really add that extra touch and make it memorable.” Daniel raised an eyebrow in curiosity, clearly intrigued by my suggestion.

“Custom decorations? What do you have in mind?” “Well,” I began, trying to contain my excitement as I explained my vision to him. “I was thinking of getting a photo booth with props for the party.” As soon as those words left my mouth, Daniel’s face lit up with understanding and agreement. “That’s brilliant! You always come up with such great ideas,” he exclaimed. With his encouragement fueling me further still, I continued persuading him about how important these details were going to be for making our event truly special - not just another run-of-the-mill celebration.

“Think about it babe – everyone is going to remember this night forever if we go all out like this! And besides… don’t you want our family and pack members talking about how amazing everything looked long after they'd gone home?” By now there was no denying it: Daniel had been won over completely by both the idea itself AND by how passionate and persuasive I’d been while presenting it! “I’m sold!” he declared happily before pulling me into a warm embrace. And so, together we will set off towards Greg's shop early in the morning – ready and excitedly anticipating bringing our dream party plans one step closer towards reality...
