Chapter 24 – Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel

Filed To Story: Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel

On the table in front of Nikki was a case full of make-up so large that it actually made my eyes pop open in shock. That was way too much in there for one person to own.

“Don’t give me that look. I do everyone’s make-up.” She demanded in her bubbly voice.

“Just as long as you know, I’m not used to using that much make-up. I wear it but not that much. I wear accents here and there that bring out natural looks instead of wearing heavy make-up.” I told her nervously.

“Riviana, how long have I known you now? You think I don’t know your make-up preference.” She laughed at me. “Come on, sit down.”

I should trust her. She had gone to school to be a make-up artist and hair stylist. She had dreams of doing hair and make-up for the rich and famous. But for now, she was happy being a stylist for the pack.

I sat in the chair at my vanity while Nikki started running the brush through my hair, it felt good having someone brushing my hair like that. She seemed to have a vision in mind, and I was too nervous to think about what would look best right now, so I just let her work and let my mind wander.

I had tried not to think about it over the last week, but my life would never be the same. I had gone from being a no wolf nobody to the mate of the Alpha, the Luna of the pack. Literally the second in command in our entire wolf pack.

But even with all that so-called power and authority it gave me, I would be severely limited for the rest of my life. I would never again be able to just do something at the spur of a moment. My life was now dedicated to hundreds of other people. This was way too much for me to process right away. I didn’t know how I was going to manage it all.

The silk threads were black, and they formed a diamond pattern that was hard to see against my dark brown hair. But the most important part of the combs were the silver pearl-like beads attached to it. The pearls were placed at various points along the diamond pattern.

The combs themselves and silk all but disappeared against my dark hair, the only thing visible were the beads. They looked like little moons nestled in my hair.

“It looks beautiful Nikki, thank you.” I told her, smiling at her in the mirror.

“Now time for the make-up.” She smiled, turning me away from the mirror.

She put lotion on my face and rubbed it in before proceeding. She had listened to, and remembered, my make-up preference. She was not going overboard.

She was doing my eyes first, so I just sat there with my eyes closed, letting her work. Occasionally she would give me instructions, like to move my eyes or mouth in a certain way. Before I knew it, she had finished and turned me to look at myself again.

She had used a medium shade of gray, close to pewter. My eyelashes were so long and dark that they made my eyes pop, they looked huge. My milky white skin stood out even more, almost making me glow like the moon. She had used no blush as it wouldn’t show in the dark tonight, anyway. And for my lips she had used a blood red color. I thought at first the color wouldn’t work with me, but the more I looked at it, the more I could tell that the whole look would go perfectly with the dress.

“You look gorgeous.” Aunt Eve gushed to me. “My little girl is all grown up.” She cried, tears falling steadily from her eyes.

“Let’s get her into the dress.” Nikki called, I could hear the eagerness in her voice.

Nikki took the dress from the closet while Aunt Eve was helping me finish getting ready. She was rubbing a thin layer of body oil on my back while I rubbed the same oil onto my arms and legs. Aunt Eve then brought over a pair of all black gladiator sandals. They had leather soles and black silk that criss-crossed over the top of my foot and then wrapped around my leg. The sandals tied halfway up my calves.

Once the shoes were fully laced and tied, Nikki held the dress ready for me. She and Aunt Eve helped me into it so that I would not mess up my hair, make-up, or the dress itself. When they had finished settling the fabric into place, I looked at myself in the full-length mirror.

The fabric of the dress left my shoulders bare before it flowed down into the long flowing sleeves and the flowing cape like train. My hands were just barely visible at the ends of the sleeves, but everything else was completely hidden by the dress. My hair spread out like a dark curtain over my shoulders, the braid swinging gently with every turn of my head.

“You look like you could be the Moon Goddess herself.” Aunt Eve gushed as she looked at me.

“You look amazing.” Nikki seemed proud, smiling at me. I knew they were saying what they honestly felt, but I looked so different from what I usually did that I didn’t feel like myself. I was starting to get even more nervous than I already was.

While I was looking at my reflection there was a knock at the door. Steeling my nerves, I took a deep breath to settle myself before answering.

“Come in.” I called in a raised voice.

The door opened and Noah came in, followed by Vincent and Leslie. All three of them stopped in their tracks the moment they saw me.

“Wow.” Leslie said without tact.

“Oh my.” Vincent whispered.

“You look beautiful Riviana.” Noah told me, he seemed to be the only one capable of forming a full sentence. Their reactions made me smile and I had to stifle a laugh.

“Thank you.” I told them, trying to hide my embarrassment.

“Are you ready to go?” Noah asked me. “It’s time for you to head to the forest, the others will be arriving shortly.”

“Yes, I’m ready.” I told him. It was time for me to begin the next phase of my life.

I left the room with the three of them, Aunt Eve and Nikki would come to the forest shortly and I would see them there. No sooner had we walked out the side door of the house and into the twilight of the night, than Noah began to speak.

“I think this should go without saying, but the two of you need to make sure that the Luna is protected at all times. Not only will the Alpha be very upset if any harm comes to her, but as she is my family and very dear to me, you will have to answer to me as well.” He glared at the two of them. I heard Leslie gulp to my left.

“No need to worry, Noah, I will make sure that everything goes smoothly.” Vincent told him confidently with a smile.

“You’d better.” Noah told him. Seeing him be so protective of me made me happy. It reminded me of when we were little, and he was there at the house with me and Carter more.

“Please, come this way Luna.” Vincent asked, a slight smirk on his face. He knew I hated the title but that I needed to get used to it, so he used it every chance he got. He guided me in the direction of the forest with a wave of his hand. Leslie was taking the lead, so I followed after him.

We were walking along a path that wound through the trees to the clearing. It was a different path than the one everyone else would be using. This path seemed to be only used by the Alpha and those who worked in the Alpha’s house.
