Chapter 18

Angel’s POV

In the car as Julian hyped on about the ball, I was in a world of my own.

I happily took the back seat in my own car and let Christie drive and Julian take shotgun.

I proceeded part of his conversation but mostly my brain was working overtime. Is he cruel, has he slept with most of the pack, will he even want a fated mate, and what if the gifts were a cruel charade to draw me in and then he treats me like garbage, like an object he would own rather than someone to love.

Every outcome I imagined had a negative result, although at least now I could rest assure that I wouldn’t deal with it alone. Since the accident which by the way I still don’t know the full sorry if what happened, but since then Christie who was a friend in passing similar to Julian had become close friends. I felt like I could truly rely on them.

Once at the mall Julian had a spring in his step, he linked arms with me on one side and Christie on the other and we went straight to the boutique his boyfriend worked at.

Everyone who got the invite / demand must have had the same idea and with just two days notice and over two thousand pack members you can imagine how packed the mall was. Some stores had ques out of the doors.

Lucky for us the boutique was appointment only and Julian called before we even got back to the house.

Julian had a smug grin as he rang the door bell to the boutique, walking past the que that had formed for last minute appointments. Hands on hips he stood until Paul opened the door.

Paul was the stereo type of a gay fashionista, he always looked quite glamorous. It’s like he was always dressed for a special occasion. Working at the most exquisite boutique was definitely suited to him and his fashion sense.

He hugged each of us after he closed the door but obviously Julian got an extra tight hug and a quick kiss. They looked so sweet together and I was envious of the passion they had for one and other.

He turned to me and told me I was the luckiest son of a gun he knew. But when I quizzed as to why, quite shocked he would think that after everything I had faced recently his reply shocked me, “ You my stunning little model are allowed to pick absolutely anything you want from this store, accessories, clothes, shoes! Anything!” He stated

I must have gone pale because he sat me down and gave me a drink. “ Alpha Roman has called most of the stores in the pack and told them that you have unlimited funds ready to cover a bill from anywhere you wish.”

I looked at my friends who in turn were staring at me shocked, obviously Christie had an idea why but Julian was utterly gobsmacked.

“I don’t know how I feel about this”, I stated as I looked at Christie

Julian was looking from me to her with his brows raised, “we will explain later” she said to him, then turned to me,” listen babe, whatever way this goes I don’t know but right now you are priority so what we’re gonna do is dress you in the most stunning dress they have and match it with the most elegant and shiny jewellery with matching bag and shoes, then when he sees everyone wanting you the ball will be in your court!” She demands and then stood up like she was on a mission.

Suddenly it was like I was a famous start and everyone and I mean everyone who worked in the store were rushing around me finding outfits.

Paul gave them the yes, no or maybe on the clothes, Julian went to the accessories such and shoes and bags while Christie went for some ‘bling bling’ as she called it.

It felt like we were in there for hours, and we mast have been as when we left it was getting dark. Many unhappy customers were sulking as we walked out, and a small fortune must have been spent. That being said we all came away booted and suited with some stunning clothes.

Once home we and Christie explained the situation to Julian who was flabbergasted. “Wait so you could be our new Luna, mated to our future Alpha?” He asked just wanting confirmation

“Potentially” Christie replied, “That all depends on how the initial meet goes and how he is!”
