Breed by Alpha Jaxton

Chapter 49

She is stunning and her makeup is done skillfully to perfection. Her eyes land on me and they widen in surprise. Mama looks back at me and smiles proudly.

“wow. You look beautiful princess. I know that dress was yours when I saw it. It fits you perfectly baby. You look like an angel.” she walks to me and kisses me softly on the cheeks.

I blush.

“Thanks mama. For the dress. Without you I would have been lost.” I joke and she just chuckles.

“you look pretty.” jenny says.

I turn to her in surprise.

What?? am I hearing her right?

Did she just compliment me? Weird. This would be one of the few times she has said something to me that’s remotely nice. Well okay.

“thank you. You look good too.” I tell her.

She smiles at me softly and turns to mama and papa.

“well, let’s get moving, you don’t want us to be late to the most important days of our lives now do you?” she asks in her snooty voice.

Now that’s the Jenny I know.

I smother the urge to laugh. Mama just rolls her eyes and papa hurries to grab his bag and hurry inside. I know that in the bag is a change of clothes for himself and all of us incase we shift and rend our clothes so we can have extra clothes to change into when we come back to it.

“mama you look so good.” I tell her because she does look good.

She is wearing an olive green slip dress that is backless piece and held by thin silk straps.

She looks goregous and her black curly hair is styled to frame her face and fall down her back in a lovely waterfall. I swear that she can pass as my sister sometimes. She is that pretty and young.

When I compliment her jenny comments.

“yeah. it’s true. You look so good. That’s why I am so pretty too. Because I look like you.” Jenny says.

Dad chirps in.

“you guys are both right. Your mama is so pretty.” he says looking off the road and at Her with so much awe and adoration in his eyes. I feel that pang of longing and need in my chest. This is the big day. The day I find something like this for myself. The day I find someone that will look at me with those same look In his eyes. Like I am his universe and I am his everything. I need it. To belong to someone so irrevocably and so wholly that we can’t do without each other. That’s what I want.

Dad reaches for his wife to plant a smacking kiss on her lips. He is so obsessed with her. I love to watch their blatant display of love for each other. They are not at all trying to hide it and no matter what it seems like they can’t hide it even if they tried.

“please dad, you guys are cute and all but Focus on the road, or are you trying to get us killed?” she asks.

Dad just laughs as he and mama whisper back and forth to each other gripping each other’s hands.

“how do you feel? I know you and you must be nervous...” Jenny says looking at me.

“how can you tell?” I ask her.

“erhhmm, because for one you are gripping your clutch like you are trying to break it into two…..” she says pointing to my white knuckles.

“ahh.” I say laughing.

“let me tell you something.. I am nervous too. The only thing is I know how to hide it better.” she says.

“you? Nervous?” I ask her surprised.

“yes. I am. This is a big day for a lot of us. We don’t know what to expect and we don’t know what the universe has in store for us.” she says.

It makes sense. Whatever happens today would be totally out of our control and there’s nothing any of us would be able to do that go through the course of nature and fate no matter what we want.

“that makes sense.” I smile at her.

“yeah. So no matter what just raise your chin up and know that you are a Green.” she says smirking.

“yeah. I guess that would help.” I say laughing.

She just looks at me and I think she’s about to say something else but just as she starts the car comes to a halt.

“we are here girls.” dad says.

She just looks at me one last time and smiles and gets down. I take my time getting down and leaving the safety of the car. As I step down from the car I feel the eyes of a lot of people on me.

I don’t know what they are thinking and I find out that I don’t want to look into their eyes and see Disgust or pity for the cursed girl. I don’t want to look and feel dirty or ugly or feel their judging stares.

The first person to walk up to me is Emily.

“omigod sweetie, you look so good. Come here and give me a hug will you.” she says pulling me into her arms and hugging me.

“Thank you.” I giggle into her arms.

“no you thank you… that dress….. where did you get it? It is the prettiest dress I have ever laid eyes on.” she says.

“thank you so much.” I tell her grateful for the kind words.

“mama bought it for me actally.” I tell her.

I look around to find mama talking to the luna as dad walks away to find the Alpha.

“follow me dear, let’s get you a drink.” she says pulling me in the direction of the open bar.

The difference between last year’s mating ceremony is that the one of last year was done in the open field of the school stadium and although we were not allowed to stay till the end just at the beginning it was amazing and it made me start looking forward to mine.

This is new because this is the first time we have done it so close to the forest. I wonder why..

“why did they make it so close to the forest this time Em?” I ask her curiously.

“oh. it’s the other Alpha that requested it. Said it will make him and his men feel safer if it was closer to the border of the territory and I understand his worry. It is easy to be ambushed If you are easily surrounded.” she shrugs.

“i get it. The space is bigger than where we normally use.” I tell her.

“oh yes. The Alpha had other omegas come and clear it up to create more space. I wonder why we have never thought abut using this space before it is bigger and compact.” she says.

My eyes land on Jenny and she is huddled with mama and the Luna and I start thinking again. What would they possibly be talking about? Is she planning to appoint Jenny for a position or what or add her to her ladies of convoy. It is not unknown for the Luna to pick random beautiful and graceful women to add them to her ladies who follow her around and hold court with her. So it won’t be strange if she picks Jenny to join her ladies. That could be it.

“So who do you think is going to be your mate?” she asks me as she hands me a cup of what I think is vodka and something else that I don’t know.. maybe fruit juice.

“i don’t know.” but I do because my eyes is already searching for him. Jeremy. Where is he?

My eyes roam the gathering of people and I don’t find him. He is most likely around though.

“where is Jeremy anyways? You guys are always together.” Em says.

“i don’t know. He should be around here somewhere.” I tell her as I spy Jenny leave mama and the Luna and join her friends. My ex-friends. She says something to them and they all turn to look at me.

Okay…..this is getting weirder.

“I’m going to check on Owen. That man works too damn much. He volunteered to watch the gates today and I told him I was coming to keep him company. I want to make sure he is not lonely and maybe I can persuade him to sneak off with me for a few minutes only.” she winks at me and I laugh at her brazenness.

“anyways, enjoy yourself and have a wonderful day and I hope you finally find your person.” she says.

“Thanks Em.” I tell her and she walks away in an array of pink satin. She managed ton pull of the pink bubble gown and it suits her perfectly. It soon dawns on me that she left me all alone by myself. Oh well she was not going to babysit me for the entire day would she have?

I down my drink hurriedly and ask for more. It takes a lot of Liqour to get a wolf intoxicated so all the vodka does is to leave me just slightly tipsy and I need the liquid courage.
