Chapter 20

Angel’s POV

Well today is the day. I feel sick to my stomach about what’s to come. I’m genuinely thinking about rejecting my mate before he has chance to reject me.

It’s obvious who my mate is, I’m 95% certain that it’s Damon, our future Alpha, the ruthless monster. Either him or his driver but I’m presuming his driver doesn’t have the funds to gift expensive cars and arrange special muffin deliveries.

But is he a ruthless monster, or am I thinking too deep into the rumours. I mean let’s be honest the gifts were beautiful but the words sent with each gift seemed to have a sweet and genuine nature.

I don’t have a choice but to find out who he is as a person myself. I think I need to draw a line under the rumours and let him tell me his own story, well if he wants to anyway.

If he doesn’t want me then we can reject each other and get it over and done with, like ripping off a plaster, fast is meant to cause least pain.

I put on my dress, It’s a floor length, pastel pink dress covered top to bottom in diamantés, with just one shoulder strap which was glittering and reflecting the light. I felt like a beautiful disco ball and I loved it, I wasn’t usually a make up fan but Christie was adamant she wanted to do mine and I reluctantly agreed as long as she kept it natural looking, then my hair which is naturally straight and down to my mid back, she curled it and put it in a simple pin up, then I added my elegant matching shoes and bag which were also pink but a silky baby pink which blended nicely with everything else.

When Christie was done she spritzed me with some perfume and stepped back like she was looking at a master piece. She smiled in delight and said “my work here is done! You will knock him dead!”

I turned and walked towards my full length mirror, shocked t the person looking back at me! I had to admit it, she did an amazing job, I looked good. I looked really bloody good! Julian knocked on the door demanding we hurry up as it was nearly 7pm and we were running late.

I took one more glance at myself, took a deep breath and walked out of my bedroom. Julian took a step back and his jaw was literally dropped! He was lost for words which is definitely a rare occurrence!

He let a single tear slide down his face as he smiled, held my shoulders and simply said “wow!”

We headed down the stairs and went to check for our taxi. As we stepped out of the door there was yet another surprise. Once again Julian was bouncing with excitement, “like OMG is this actually for us?” He said as he headed towards a while long stretched limo.

The driver was stood by the back door and stated my name, and he explained that he had been sent specifically to collect myself and my friends for the ball.

I finally allowed my joy to show and I was smiling for ear to ear.

If clearly knows who I am, surely if he was going to reject me he wouldn’t go to all this trouble. I climbed into the back which looked like a mini disco, we poured a small glass of fizz that had been left for us and I finally let my guard down a tad.
