Going Against the Alpha

Chapter 13-Get Ready

Claudette’ POV

 I didn’t even get a chance to respond. Or a chance to ask if this was going to be painful. I yelped as soon as she pulled it off. I bit the inside of my check for pretty much the whole time I was in her room. No one has ever seen down there before, and honestly, I thought my mate would be the first one who did. But I guess I was wrong.

Afterwards, I relaxed with a nice Swedish massage and had the best chocolate cover strawberries. They were so mouthwatering, with the perfect amount of caramel drizzle and sweet chocolate. Thinking about them makes me hungry. “Hello to Claudette, Come back from space, Claudette!” Yes, Kamila, I heard you the 1st time. I finally realize she has been standing behind me, talking to me for who knows how long now. Aww, Kamila, you look so beautiful! “You think so? I’m so excited for tonight. I haven’t gotten to see Denver in three days. I hope he likes what I chose to wear.” Says Kamila.

Kamila, if that man doesn’t like what you have on, he is a damn fool! Aww, and your nails even match your dress. She is wearing a light pink sleeveless floral embroidered gown with golden flakes. It has a tight deep V-neckline and back. The bottom half of the dress is flowy and cascades down just above her light pink strappy high heel shoes. She has on rose gold diamond earrings that match the gold flakes in her dress and just the right amount of makeup. Her hair is stunning in an elegant high bun with a few loose curls on the front and sides. All held together by a small beautiful sparkling brooch. She looks just like a princess. 

Kamila’s POV

Claudette, how do you think this looks? I twirl around to give her the full picture of what I look like. When I’m back facing her, she still hasn’t given me an answer. She is sitting there staring at nothing. I turn around to make sure there is nothing creepy behind me, causing her to lose her voice, but nope nothing is there. So as loud as I can without yelling, I say, “Hello to Claudette, Come back from space, Claudette!” She finally acknowledges me. Yes, Kamila, I heard you the 1st time. I roll my eyes and smile as she starts complimenting me. “Aww, Kamila, you look so beautiful! 

“You think so? I’m so excited for tonight. I haven’t gotten to see Denver in three days. I hope he likes what I chose to wear.” I’m so nervous for him to see me it is causing me to sweat. I keep having to put my arms up in the air and fan my armpits. I do not want to get armpit stains before we leave the house. I keep reminding myself to put on extra deodorant before we leave. 

Claudette, do you want me to help you? It is almost time to go. She says, “I’m done with my hair, and I’m finishing up my make-up now.” She has some loose curls throughout her hair. However, it just looks plain, like it is missing something. Especially since this night is about her, let me try something, and if you do not like it, you can take it out. She nods and continues to finish her smokey eye shadow look for her make up. 

I pull pieces of her hair from the front of her head to the top back part and start to French braid loosely and midway switch the braid from French to a fishtail braid. I only use the hair halfway down her down the back of her head, leaving some curled piece out. I finish up by French braiding one tiny part on both sides, giving it a Viking goddess vibe. This is going to go perfectly with your dress.

 Her dress is a brilliant vintage style dark red lace mermaid formal dress with a short train and an off-the-shoulder design with long sleeves. Here let me zip you up. Oh my gosh, Claudette, you look gorgeous! Even if you do not find your mate tonight, all the guys will go crazy for you.

“Kamila, don’t you think this is a little much? I mean, we look like we are going to a ball or a red carpet event.” Well, we kind of are, and you are the guest of honor. Claudette, it’s time to get excited. Besides our birthday party later this week, things like this never happen in our pack. So, let's try to have fun, okay? 

Claudette answer me back with a sigh and okay. As she is putting on her gold hoop earrings and matching bracelets. She is finally dressed and ready to go. She looks in the mirror and lets out a little squeak as she jumps up and down with excitement. She gives me a quick hug and says, Kamila, thank you so much!  I hug her back and giggle a little. I guess her mood has done a 180! 

Luna Ann’s (mother) POV

I came back up to Claudette’s room to see if she needs me to help zip up her dress. I’m so excited for both my girls. In just a few short days, they will no longer be my babies. The door starts to open as I reach for the handle. Kamila is skipping out and about runs into me when she says, “Oh, hey mom, I’ll be downstairs in a minute. Before we leave, I have to go put on more deodorant. I will meet you downstairs.” She counties on to her room without missing a beat. I love seeing her so happy.
