"Ok, Emma, we are going to make a run for it," I whispered as I looked towards Emma, and I put my hand on the car door, ready to roll.
"The last one to your room is going with no panties on tonight." And just like that, Emma was out of the car. She was bolting to god knows where. I managed to make it to my room with only two collisions. I am sure the decorating crew thinks a monster is chasing me. I may or may not be responsible for the hall having confetti everywhere. As I enter my room, I don't see Emma, so I breathe a sigh of relief only to have it crushed when she steps out of my bathroom with a shit-eating grin on her face."Now, how did you manage," I huff and slump down onto my bed, kicking my shoes off and throwing my book bag down. As I throw the bag, confetti flies everywhere, and with a shrug, I let out a small "Oops." Emma walks over and sits down beside me, staring at the confetti. "Well, I usually don't tell my secrets, but I might have run around back. And it's unsafe, but you have weird-ass lattice covered in ivy. So I pulled a rapunzel on that bitch and climbed it. Without being seen."
"I do not care how you got in this room, Emma, but I revoke all statements about my panties. I am wearing panties tonight." I glare and turn towards her. "Not if you can't find them," Emma says as she mocks me and dangles my lacey white pair of panties in my face. I swat her hand and scowl. I stand up and walk towards my dresser, noticing something that looks like a dress hung beside it, covered in plastic. I see a note attached to the hanger and grab it off. "Well, check that out," Emma retorts. "It's from mom, it says, I bought you a dress to wear tonight, and a pair of heels are in your closet. I'm sure Emma will help you get ready! See you at 7, love mom." I set the note down on the dresser and picked up the dress. I gasped as I realized just how sneaky mom was. Was it a dress or lingerie? While gorgeous, I am not sure how much of my body it will cover.
The dress was a cream-colored sleeveless latex dress that ended about two inches below my ass. On top of that was a crystal white lace overlay with tiny crystals, almost microcrystals, that went down to the floor, was skin tight, and highlighted every curve. I set the dress back onto the hook and walked into my closet, Emma trailing behind, still gaping at the dress. I noticed the shoe box as well as the pricey tag on it. I had never even heard of the brand. "Amina Muaddi x Awge Flacko Napa Sandals?" I say and look at Emma bewildered. "Well, don't just stand there staring at the box, dumbass, open them!" Emma screeched, looking much more excited than me. I untied the bow on the box and gasped again, staring at the Heels. They were white, and around the ankle were crystals, with more dangling crystals. A perfect match to the dress mom had got me.
"Mom must be insane!" I set the shoebox on my bed as me and Emma walk back into my room. "She knows that is so not my style. I've never even heard of those brands. Hell, I don't even wear dresses, period." I was still in shock almost as Emma busted out laughing. "Can you even walk in those things?" She could barely even say that as she laughed so hard. "I have not once seen you wear a pair of high heels. This party is just going to be priceless."
I sigh again and sit back down, not ready for the torturing to begin. It was nearly 5:30 now, and Emma takes a solid hour to do my hair and makeup. I can't NOT let her do it; she might kill me. So I go over to my vanity and sit down. I turn to Emma and groan as she's already rushing towards me, squealing like a pig, before they find out they are going to be bacon. I sigh once again and close my eyes before she pokes them out with the brushes.
Sure enough, just as I said. It took Emma a whole damn hour to make me look like a model. My hair was wavey, reaching just below my hips, and my face was covered in foundation and contour while still making me look like me. My eyes were painted with a brown smokey eye, with white eyeliner, making the blue specks in my eyes shine through and wow. I might hate being tortured by Emma, but I'll give her this; she is exceptional at what she does. I look more than sexy; I'm fierce and look a good five years older than I am. I grab the dress and walk into the bathroom; Emma is standing in the doorway, her eyes shining as she fixes up her hair and her sparkling red dress. I slip my dress on, well attempt too. It took Emma and me a good ten minutes to slide the latex part of the dress over my ass, but the rest was a breeze. Once I had the dress on right, it was the comfiest thing I had ever worn. It fit so tight and hugged every curve, the lace on top just accentuating every curve, highlighting my hips and flat stomach, and making my breasts sit just right. I stared at myself in the mirror, in awe of who I was right now. The next thing I knew, a scream in my ear jolted me, and I almost hit Emma. "You're SO getting some tonight!" she echoed into my ear. I flipped her off as I walked into the room. I think she might actually be more excited than me.
I glanced down at my phone, noticing the time had gone by fast, and it was only ten minutes till 7. I put my phone up on my dresser, and Emma and me surveyed ourselves in the mirror one last time.
This damn party better be the night of my life, a night to remember.
We let Jacob and Katie spend some time together. Jacob told her all about the guys saving everyone. He told her about the new house they were staying in and how everyone was friendly. It almost broke my heart when he told her they wouldn't be cold anymore that they could have a blanket. I learned about what had happened and how they had found the kids. Julie checked on Katie one more time and saw that everything was healed, and she was free to go to the house with the other kids. It took Jacob a few minutes to get her to agree to teleport with Chase. Before she was getting ready to leave, she thanked Julie for helping her. When Julie explained that I had healed her, she ran up and hugged me around my waist tight. She did not have to say anything. I felt the tear as it left my eye. "You will be ok now, honey," I told her, and she smiled at me as she walked back to Chase and Jacob to go to her new home."We will have to try and find the kid's homes and how they ended up the
I rush out of the room to my mother. I have to be there for her. She lost her mate again. I enter the room, and she is lying on the bed with Mia in her arms. I lay on the other side and wrap my arms around mia and mom. Mia is squished in the middle with her arms wrapped around mom. She starts to cry harder when I wrap my arms around her. Mom whispers that it's ok in her ear as she rubs her hair down. I had forgotten how powerful being a mother is. My mom has shown me my whole life. Here she is. She has lost her mate and still holds it together to comfort her child. I am lucky to have a woman like her as my mother. What the Goddess said plays in my head. She is right. She is the one that made my mother, and she is strong. She has endured so much, but she should not have to keep enduring like she is. I look over at mom, and my eyes meet hers. They are red and swollen from crying, and it breaks my heart even more. She gives me a small smile. "I am so sorry, mom" That Is all I can m
Levi,Luca walks off without us talking, and I know what he is feeling. I don't think Barrett deserves a proper funeral, but Chase and his family should be the ones to decide that. I did it for them, not Barrett. "We need to go get the kids and Emma from the treehouse," I tell Chase. I head to the house to get some of the women to get areas ready for the children. We have an orphanage, but it has not been many children there. With not many children, we didn't have but one woman who ran it, and she will need more help with this many children. It doesn't take long, and the women have gone to set up the orphanage, and we are headed to get the kids now that everything is safe and they have somewhere to stay. "Does Rod know that Emma has been here at the treehouse?" Chase asks as we make our way to the treehouse. "Yeah, he is already there and waiting on us," I tell him as we continue. I could hear laughing as we got closer. That's a good sign, I thin
Luca,The rage that came over me as I watched my father drop to the ground and his packlink snap was unbearable. The howl that left my body and the rest of the pack snaped something else in me. I could see Raine as I started to make my way to Barrett. He would pay for what he has done. I felt Levi on the other side of me, and his rage was as deep as mine. We both in sink went after our prey. I let my wolf take over. We take the bottom half of him while Levi takes the top. I sink my teeth into his leg and rip. I feel the blood enter my mouth, and I relish in it. I hear the bone snap and feel a force holding him there. As he hits the ground, I see Levi has ripped his throat out. I look over when I hear a commotion.Raine is walking, but flames surround her. I shift back and stand to watch. There are flecks of black in the fire. She is shooting flames at every person that is here with Barrett."We have to stop her," Chase says from beside me. I look back, and eve
I lock eyes with each of my mates as I look over the yard. I see the look of fear cross Chase's face as I am about to look away. But, I already know what is happening before it happens. Barrett has his arms around my chest again. I throw my head back, but this time, I don't connect. "Did you really think that would work twice?" He says in my ear. I look forward and see all my mates headed toward us. I am lucky to have these three incredible men by my side. I notice they stop moving toward us, and I feel my body being shoved forward by Barrett's body. His grip on me loosens, and I spin to see him turning and reaching for someone. They must have pushed him from behind, making him release me. Before I could manage to grasp what was going on, I saw who it was, my mom. I go to grab Barrett to keep him away from her, but he is faster than me. He grabs her, and they both vanish again. I hear a loud growl from behind me, but I already know who it is. Bastien knows his mate is in the han
The noises were coming from everywhere. I rushed toward the front of the house and to the front door. There were people in wolf form already. I stopped on the porch looking around. I saw a few of Kane's people fighting in human form, and they were holding their own well. Pack members were fighting alongside them. In the distance, I noticed a few warlocks headed toward the house. They raised their hands, and I saw blue sparks light up above their skin. I used my powers and pulled all the big rocks from the yard and hurled them in their direction. The two on the outside jumped to the sides, but the one in the middle was hit.I rushed down the steps and around the house. It looks like they came in from all directions. Is this what Barrett had planned all along? As I went further around the side, something hit me, and I was thrown forward and slid. Whatever hit me felt like a jolt of electricity. I rolled to the side, looking behind where I had been running. I saw a woman with long b
