The Alpha’s Lone Wolf

Preparations

The next week flew by. I spent my mornings training with the pack warriors and getting to know all of the warriors. After breakfast, I would join Alpha Malachi in his office and help with any of the needed paperwork and planning for the full moon celebration until lunchtime. I started to volunteer with the pack’s preschool after lunchtime. I love spending time with young kids. They are our future after all. In the evenings I would hang out with the teenagers that I played football with. It gave me a chance to get to know all of the teenagers, even the ones on the opposite team. By the end of the week, it felt as if I had been there for ages. Everyone that I have met has been so nice and helpful, and they really seem to like having me around. I really hope that is the case, and that it’s not just me projecting onto them.

Friday morning was extremely busy. There were a lot of people running around and helping set up for the celebration later that night. Alpha Malachi asked for Sara and I to be the main two in charge of the event, so there were a lot of people asking us questions about where to put things. I was a little nervous about planning a party for the pack, but I was able to shake my nerves after the first hour. Everything about planning a party seemed to come naturally. I can slightly remember when my mother would plan parties for the pack. I would follow her around all day and watch her make decision after decision. I was just fascinated by the whole thing, and loved watching my mother take care of everything with ease. Now it was my turn to make all of the decisions. At some point, Sara had to step out and help treat some patients, so I was left to handle the preparations on my own.

By the time we were done setting up all of the decorations it was a little past lunchtime. Sara came by and told me, “This place looks amazing, Alley! You should go get something to eat. I will take care of the rest of the preparations. There are a couple dresses that have been sent to your room for you to choose from for tonight, and one of the omegas will come in and help you with your hair and makeup in about an hour.” I looked at her confused, “Why are there dresses already picked out, and someone coming to help with my hair and makeup?” She smiled, “You are part of the reason we will be celebrating tonight. Not only are you joining our pack, but you are also turning 18 tonight. Which is a big deal in this pack.” she gave me a hug as she finished talking. “Now go, and eat something or you won’t be able to eat anything until later tonight.” I nodded my head, and left to go get some food for lunch.

I headed up to my room once I was done eating, and there were three beautiful evening gowns in my room hanging on a mobile rack. The first dress that I tried on was a floor length black dress that had a small train. It clung to my body in all of the right places and was loose by my legs. It had one strap that went diagonally across my front. The strap had an opening in the shape of a diamond that showed off some of my chest. There was a slit of the right side of the dress that came up to my knees. This dress was a definite maybe.

The second dress was a shimmery purple/blue shade and had a halter top. It was skin tight up to my waist and made a bell shape from my waist to the floor. It was another gorgeous dress. Another maybe, this wasn’t going to be easy. The third dress was more of a blue/green shade and had a strapless sweetheart neckline. It had a single row of sequence that lined the top seam and the waistline of the dress. The bottom flared out a little at the waist, and the front of the dress came up to my knees, while the back of the dress dragged a little on the ground. This dress was perfect. I loved everything about it. This was definitely the dress I was going to wear tonight.

I heard a soft knock on the door, and said come in. An omega I had never met entered. “Hi Ms. Allison, my name is Victoria. Is this the dress that you chose for tonight?” I shook my head while smiling at her. Her face lit up as she said, “It is very beautiful on you. Now let’s see what we can do with your hair and makeup.” Victoria was very sweet. She seemed to be in her late forties. She had a very motherly vibe coming from her. She asked me a bunch of questions about how I like my hair and makeup before getting started. I almost didn’t recognize myself when I looked in the mirror. Victoria had pinned my hair mostly up in something similar to a bun, but instead of rolling it around in a circle, it was tucked under itself at the back of my head. There were a couple of loose strands strategically placed next to my face. My makeup was very natural looking with a light pink shade of lipstick.

I smiled and gave Victoria a hug. “Thank you for your help, you have no idea how much this means to me.” She just smiled and said, “You are very welcome young Allison. Would you like help picking out some jewelry and shoes.” I nodded my head, “No thank you, I think I can manage it. Thank you again.” She smiled as she left the room to let me finish getting ready.

I found a beautiful necklace on a silver colored chain with a crescent moon on it. The moon was a soft darker blue shade that went nicely with the dress. I picked out a pair of silver 3 inch heels that had straps up to my ankles. I heard another knock on my door, and I went and opened it. Sara was standing there in a beautiful red cocktail style dress. “Damn girl, your mate won’t know what hit him. You are absolutely stunning.” She said with a smile. “Are you ready to go?” I shook my head yes, and we left together towards the celebration.
