CHAPTER SEVEN

~RAELIYA~

I was treated like a Queen.

Not only did the girl who I now knew as Skylar give me a makeover but she literally turned me into a new person.

My nails and toes were done, my skin felt soft for the first time ever.

As I looked in the mirror, I instantly couldn't believe I was the one staring back. I looked like a goddess.

I ran my fingers down the Fabric that glistened under the light like diamonds. The fabric was so soft, it felt like little kisses.

I've never worn a gown that hugged me perfectly and showed off curves that I didn't even know I had. It had a cow neckline that exposed my cleavage just enough to make it look sexy and big. I didn't even know my boobs could look like that.

Then the slit that rode up my leg made my leg appear longer than it was coupled with the heels I could barely walk in. The gown was breathtaking.

Not only that but I was endowed with jewelry. I didn't even want to think about how much everything would cost.

I accused her of being a witch and she laughed it off.

“My master just knows what's best. There is still one more surprise” After saying that, she led me downstairs and I bowed my head in order to avoid eye contact with anyone I knew.

I was shocked to see that a car was waiting for me outside and by the looks of it and the way passerbys were staring at the car, it wasn't any ordinary car.

“I don't think I can do this,” I told Skylar as I slowly walked back. Everything was suddenly beginning to feel real and how long will I be able to act like I belonged to such luxury?

“You have to. I'm not the only one that would get to see this beauty" She said as she grabbed my hand and led me towards the car.

“No buts” She said before I could say anything then opened the car door and practically shoved me in.

“Have fun” She called out with a smile then nodded at the chauffeur who immediately started the car and we zoomed off.

She didn't even give me a chance to back out.

I took deep breaths in an attempt to calm my nerves but as soon as we got to the venue, my nerves spiked up again.

The whole place was jam-packed with cars and paparazzi. I hadn't gotten out of the car and could already feel the different Auras trying to dominate in the hall.

I sat down in the car for a while, grateful that the chauffeur said nothing but after a while, I knew I couldn't stall anymore so with one last deep breath, I instantly climbed out of the car and walked towards the venue.

Immediately, the Paparazzi Started flashing their camera at me even though they all appeared not to know who I was. How could they?

I ignored them as I walked towards the hall. As soon as the guards by the entrance recognised me, their jaws almost dropped to the floor in shock. The guards and the maids walked closely together so of course they knew it was.

I smiled at them and when one of them blushed, my confidence spiked up a little.

As soon as I walked in, all eyes turned to me and at first, I contemplated running away but I couldn't keep running away from my problems.

“Is that Raeliya? It can’t be!”

“She must have stolen Sophia’s clothes again”

“I doubt that. She looks better than Sophia, she's stunning!” I smiled slightly at that one as I kept walking further into the hall.

It felt like the spotlight was on me with how many eyes were watching me.

“Raeliya?” I paused slightly at the sound of his hall.

I glanced up and Chase could barely keep his mouth closed as he stared at me. This was the first time he had acknowledged me in public.

He dragged his eyes up and down my body and I saw the desire that flashed in his eyes which made me blush slightly.

This time, I didn't even have to walk towards him, he walked towards me and I could feel every eye on us.

“Why aren't you wearing the dress you got for you? Who… who gave you this?” I questioned as I kept staring down at me. It was almost like he couldn't control his reaction.

Before I could speak, Sophia walked towards us and interlocked her arm with his before placing a kiss on his cheeks.

Chase glanced nervously at me and I had to force down the urge to scoff. Not only was he letting her hold him but his tie was matching her blue gown.

“You had planned to humiliate me, didn't you?” I asked softly and I frowned at him and his eyes widened.

“People are watching, don't cause a scene” Sophia said before he could say anything but I ignored her and kept staring at him.

When he didn't say anything, I scoffed and shook my head. What did I expect?

“I was a fool to believe you” I murmured and Sophia laughed loud enough to catch everyone's attention.

“Did you really think dressing up nice was going to make him choose you instead? It can't erase how useless you are. You probably stole this gown as well, didn't you?” She said loudly in an attempt to embarrass me and it was working.

I could already hear the murmurs and name calling but for some reason, I felt confident. Maybe it was because of the way Chase kept staring at me or because I knew how beautiful I was tonight.

“Admit it, Sophia. You're just mad that a Runt like me could be more beautiful than you. Even such a beautiful gown can't hide how truly ugly you are within” I responded and their eyes widened. I'm sure no one expected me to reply but I was done with being stomped all over.

Sophia's eyes blazed with fury as she glared at me.

“You bitch!” She raised her hand to slap me and I closed my eyes, waiting for the impact when I suddenly Felt a very powerful Aura behind me.

It was so awfully strong that I could barely breathe.

“Hold your dog on a leech, Chase because if it so much as touches what's mine, there would be consequences” I froze slightly as I immediately recognised the voice.

I slowly turned around and gasped when my eyes landed on him.

It was almost like he was walking in slow motion and with the way everyone cleared his path as he walked by, I knew I wasn't the only one who felt how powerful he was.

As soon as our eyes connected, I sucked in my breath as I took him in. He seemed to get more handsome every time I saw him. He looked like a god.

He dragged his eyes up and down my frame then gave an approved smirk as he stood in front of me.

“Missed me, Gremlin?” He asked and I was too stunned to speak.

“What is going on here? What are you doing here, Kaelric?” Chase questioned and anyone could hear the anger and panic in his tone.

Kaelric turned around from me slightly and settled just eyes on Chase and almost immediately, His Aura turned deathly cold even though he had a smile on his face.

I knew he was Kaelric but i didn't want to acknowledge it but now, it was something I couldn't ignore.

As a matter of fact, no one could. His Aura easily dominated everyone's Aura in the hall.

“I'm here to claim the Alpha's title, Brother”...
