Grace chose a black floor-length evening gown with silver applique detail and layered net skirt, long black gloves and a black chiffon cape. She loves it as she felt sexy but discreetly covered her scars. Dom and Cassandra did not say anything, but they spotted them and selected dresses accordingly. “Wow, you look stunning! I shows off your assets” Cassandra said.

The pain had led me to Rowan, my fated mate, and for that, I would never wish it away. The dress he had gifted me last full moon hung on the back of my door. It was stunning—deep sapphire, with delicate lace trimming the neckline and flowing elegantly to just above my knees. It was simple yet stunning, and Rowan had always told me to keep my legs covered, away from other eyes. I couldn’t help but smile, remembering his kiss from days ago. It was thrilling and electrifying, and my heart raced with the anticipation of seeing him tonight, in that dress, at the mating ceremony that was now only hours away.

“I’ll be right beside you the whole time, and anyone who looks at you wrongfully, I rip their throat out.” A watery laugh escaped me. “Romantic.” He kissed my forehead, quick and fierce, then pulled back with a grin that made my knees weak. “Now go pick a dress that will make them choke on their own tongues.” ***** I spent the next morning in front of the mirror, nerves buzzing under my skin. Iris forced me into a deep red dress that hugged every curve I forgot I had, slit high on one thigh, neckline low enough to make a saint blush.

It happened at a gala. Amara had spent the better part of the afternoon preparing, her fingers trembling slightly as she fastened the delicate clasp on the back of her dress. The gown was red—a deep, elegant shade that seemed to glow under the soft lighting of Adrian’s mansion before the event. She wasn’t used to wearing anything so striking, so deliberately eye-catching, but tonight demanded it. After all, she wasn’t just attending as herself; she was playing the part of Adrian Cole’s fiancée, the woman who would embody perfection, grace, and allure for everyone watching.

I knew that this dinner would be the perfect opportunity for us to reconnect and forget about all the troubles we had been through. As I waited for the maids to finish decorating the garden, I decided to get dressed for the occasion. I went through my wardrobe, looking for the perfect outfit that would impress Lotus. Finally, I settled on a black suit with a red tie that complemented my vampire skin tone. I wanted to look my best for her, and hopefully, it would make her feel special.

she winks as I step out of the dining room to meet the men upstairs and dress. I stare at myself in the full-length mirror in Brandon’s room, taking a small twirl. My hair is stylishly up in a chignon, makeup immaculate. My dress is a deep champagne ball gown with a heart-shaped neckline and a hint of my bust peeking through. The cinched waist and wide, flared, exaggerated hips with gold sequins glitter like diamonds under the lights.

Fatima’s voice rose sharply. I turned to see her, now dressed in a deep emerald-green gown with puffed sleeves and a corseted bodice. Althea wore a midnight-blue dress with intricate silver embroidery, while Jake’s casual attire had been replaced by a sleek black tuxedo with a crimson bow tie. “Okay, what fresh nonsense is this?” Fatima said, tugging at the layers of her dress. “I look like I’m about to waltz into Downton Abbey.”

As I had decided to wear something dark and a little bit with some gothic wives, I did a little dark makeup as well. I stepped out of the bathroom, making my way straight towards the closet. I wore a blood red and black pants gown. I brushed my hair backwards and pinned them. I curled up my hair, leaving the curls loose. I paired my dress with black T strap platform heels. The gown was off shoulders and it really pushed my boobs up, giving a nice view. I wrapped the royal cape around my shoulders and covered my head with its hoodie. I put everything in a bag then scooped Adriana in my arms. I stepped out of my bedroom, making my way straight towards the hall of throne.

No backing out. No ‘I’ll just wear something simple.’ We are showing up.” Roman glanced at Elena. “You hearing this?” She smirked. “Unfortunately.” Jace dragged Elena toward a rack of dresses before she could escape.

You need something that says ‘I could ruin your life and still look good doing it.’”
