Five beautifully tailored evening gowns, five lingerie, and five heels that fit all of us perfectly but still no underwear.
The guest we were expecting was the designer from the mainland but still so famous here in the island. He was a flamboyant wolf that moved to the mainland years ago, but born and raised here in the paramount island.
My mother would be green in envy if she found out I even touched not only one of his expensive dresses but five with shoes and lingerie included.
Lydia pushed my side and gave me a pleading look, and I knew what she wanted me to ask. We only had been here for a day but my friendship with the girls bloomed so much. It felt like we knew each other for years, but with just one look, I knew what they wanted to tell me.
Lydia was shy, and I knew even if she had a question she wouldn't be able to ask it herself, Shantel on the other hand was a blubber mouth, and will complain for the entire pack to get her way. She was full of mischief but still kind and respectful. I liked that about her.
She had boundaries.
"Huh, Eric." I said looking around the room hoping we were all thinking the same thing. "We are missing underwear, I don't know if Luna told you but we have no panties or bras to change into" I was shy telling a stranger that but I had no choice in the matter. I went for a run everyday and I didn't wish to be caught dead without it.
That nightdress barely covers my ass.
"I know, and Luna was the one who made sure of it. The mating season is about s*x, and to have that, the partner needs to be attracted to you or your body. There will be no covering up in this house, and as for bras, all your dresses don't need one, and they are long enough to cover your ass for days." He explained and I almost groaned but I didn't want to seem difficult.
I wished they gave us normal lingerie that would substitute for underwear but the Luna was slick. Those damn things were see through, crotchless. I ygot uncomfortable just looking at it. All I wanted was a comfortable lace or even a polyester panty.
"Thanks" I opted to say, already pulling the handle of my suitcase ready to go upstairs.
"Glad to help, this is my pack after all. Goodbye girls, it was absolutely lovely working with you, especially you Becca." He smiled toward the she-devil. She had been with Eric all day, sucking up to him.
She was a damn good actor, which made me think. What else is she acting at?
"No, Thank you Eric. It was lovely working with you, and if this thing with Alpha doesn't work out 'goddess forbid' I will love to join you on the mainland" she answered sweetly.
She wanted to have a second option if things didn't work out here, clever if her, because the way she has been acting, it would be embarrassing if anyone but her became a Luna. As for I, I minded my business, I was only here for the season, and as soon as it's over, I wish not to see her ever again.
I just felt sorry for Aiden if she was the one to end up with her.
Just that thought made my stomach churn. I was trying to ignore it, but I didn't want anyone ending up with Aiden but me. I know it was selfish of me, and highly impossible but I couldn't help but wish it.
"Don't worry gorgeous, the Alpha won't be able to resist you in that lingerie, and girls before I go Luna told me you need to get ready for the spa, and all of you need to shower. Bye!" he threw air kisses before moving to the door with his crew.
He seemed like a nice person, but why did Luna want us to shower before a spa? I thought it was the opposite. You shower afterwards, after all the oils, and herbs they put on your body, or am I wrong?
I haven't been to one before, and we already bathed in the morning.
"My ass is getting cold. I thought that I would at least get one pair of sweatpants. This place sucks" Shantel complained moving to the stairs.
"She thinks she is the one suffering?" Rebecca scoffed. " We are the ones subjected to looking at her ugly ass full of stretch marks" she insulted but this time I was not going to let her get away with it.
I was getting tired of her foul mouth and attitude.
"And you think we love hearing you whine like a b***h every single second? I don't know who you think you're Rebecca but being a Beta's daughter doesn't give you a right to talk to people like that" I clicked my tongue moving to the stairs with my suitcase at hand, but a hand stopped me, pulling me by my shoulder.
"Hey, you daughter of a nobody, just because both your parents are pathetic and are disposable in this pack doesn't mean you have to give me attitude, and I can and will talk to anyone as I please." I looked at her hand like it burned me.
I wished she didn't talk about my parents, but what she said was nothing new, in this pack titles mattered and I knew ours didn't matter from a young age, and I wish it didn't hurt me anymore hearing it, but it did. The only thing I learnt was how to deal with it, so I shrugged the insult.
"Don't you ever in your entire miserable life touch me again. I don't care whosever daughter you are, but if you touch me one more time, you will know the reason why I wake up each morning at dawn." I threatened already walking away when I saw her steps falter.
"You're lucky I am in a good mood, if not I was going to show you why I am the first daughter of the Beta." She shouted as I climbed the stairs.
Coward!
****
When we got downstairs an hour later people from the spa were already there waiting for us. All the tables were set, and Aiden or Aiden's little sister was groaning behind the closed curtain.
I knew he was an only child but those screams didn't seem Alphary, if that's even a word. I wanted to peep in and see what was happening in there, but a guard was placed just nearby the curtain.
"Thank you all for coming, since it's inyky girls here, I would love all of you to strip and climb the table" the older woman with strawberry blonde hair said politely.
"Naked?" Lydia asked. I had observed that all this was difficult for her. I don't know why the goddess chose her, but I hoped she had a reason because I didn't like seeing her this way.
"Yes, naked. I can't wax you with clothes on, can I now?" She joked and from our facial expressions she realised we didn't know we were getting waxed too.
"Okay, I am sorry. I thought Luna and Maggie had explained to you that you all need to be hairless for the mating season starting tomorrow. Everywhere that is not your head, needs to be shaved and waxed. " She explained.
"Everywhere?" I was surprised. I don't remember the last time I shaved my legs although I shaved down there everyday. I just didn't give it much thought to shave other things.
I was lazy, and having no boyfriend didn't help. I wasn't hairy though since my hormones were all over the place.
"Yes, now strip and let's get ready" she commanded and Rebecca and her minion were the first to strip and climb on the table and I hesitantly followed. It was much harder for Lydia since Shantel just shrugged and threw the silky nightdress straps off her shoulder before joining us.
But Lydia hesitantly joined us after seeing that we were all on top of the beds fully naked and no one cared.
Now, I know why Aiden was screaming like a little girl. He was being shaved too. Just that thought made the corner of my lips lift. Can't want to tease him about it.
Right then, I realised I didn't know when or how I was going to see him alone again. I knew we were going to have a date in the five days here, and mating afterwards but I didn't know when. It could be days.
I pushed down the pain in my chest, and again reminded myself that he was not mine. Once the season is over, I will have to leave and never see him again.
My heart sank at that thought but again I swallowed the thoughts down, burying it deep down, and hoped never to find them again.
"Legs up girls, let's start with the difficult one first, shall we?" the red haired lady said and she went away after that.
I didn't even know, I had a sailors mouth until then.
My f*****g anus hurt like hell.
