Chapter 4: Meeting the Alpha
ELENA
I turned my gaze to Monica who was chuckling with arched eyebrows. I remember the dress, it was a birthday gift from her Dad. Furthermore, I'm sure she's yet to put the dress on. She has dozens of dresses, it was impossible for her to wear all.
I tilted my head to the side, and looked at her blinking my eyes.
Monica grabbed the dress, and held it up to my body with a smile.
"I'm sure this dress is really going to look good on you. You have to look your best" She mumbled, and I shook my head.
I was too shocked, and short of words. So all I could say as usual was "Sorry"
"Sorry? What are you saying Elena? Are you saying that you're not going to accept my gift?" She frowned her face, and I bowed my head a little.
"I don't think I deserve something as pretty as this. I've never worn a dress this beautiful" I spoke with a teary voice. Tears circulated in my eyes, and I tried to blink them in, instead they poured down my cheeks.
"Come on Elena, why do you keep rejecting my gifts to you. You need to look your best. Alpha Xander will be coming here tomorrow, so you need to dress elegantly. They need to know you're the most beautiful princess in our red moon pack if not...." She paused, and I raised my eyebrows. I really wanted to hear what she had to say.
Monica's eyes watered, and she held my hands staring directly in my eyes before speaking. "Otherwise, they might start mistreating you when they find out that you're being treated like a slave"
I bowed my head forcing a smile at her. They had already concluded everything without asking for my opinion when I'm the one getting married.
Monica grabbed me, and hugged me tightly as she burst into tears. "I'm sorry Elena.... I'm really sorry"
She continued apologizing. Of course, I know that she was apologizing because I had to take her place in getting married to the ruthless Alpha.
But that didn't make my feelings towards her change. I still loved her dearly... She's my best friend, and will always remain.
"Let's see if the shoe will fit your foot. We have to make sure everything is set, so that we won't be confused by tomorrow" She disengaged the hug, and brought out the shoe from the box. It was a new pair of heels.
She wiped my foot with a towel before wearing the shoe on me, and it fitted perfectly.
"Wow!" She mouthed smiling at me, and I forced a smile at her.

The next day was so busy because lots of guest filled our house. The whole house was decorated, and it was so beautiful.
Alpha Blake had arranged some people to clean, and decorate the house in such a way that you might mistake it to be a palace. They were holding a welcome party for the blue moon pack and Alpha Xander.
For the very first time in my life, I didn't need to do house chores or get up to prepare breakfast. As a matter of fact, I wasn't even allowed to go anywhere close to the kitchen.
For the fact that I was the bride, Monica and the make-up artists including Diana had my manicure and pedicure done. I changed into the long blue gown with sparking crystal on it. Is this really how it feels to be a princess? Gosh! It feels so good to be pampered.
My tough looking hair was washed with an expensive hair treatment shampoo, and it became so soft to my amazement. It was curled into big curling hair that fell behind me. My eyebrows were nicely carved, and an eyeliner was applied.
Monica made sure I put on the silver bracelet she gave me including the expensive jewelries that Diana gave me unwillingly.
Making me over, took a lot of time because I've never been spiffed up before.
Alpha Blake walked into the room, and I quickly turned around bowing at him slightly. He stared at me gobsmacked, I bet he was shocked to me looking so beautiful.
"Are you ready yet?" He spoke rather so calmly, and I felt like I was being spoken to by another person. The Alpha Blake I know would never speak to me in such a tone. Probably I looked like someone that's why his attitude towards me softened a little.
"We are Dad. Let's go Elena" Monica waved at me gesturing me to follow her. She held my hand, and we walked down to the party venue. As I stepped towards the banquet hall, all eyes were mounted on me.
"Monica, I feel like I'm going to trip and fall" I mouthed, and she giggled.
"Why would you trip and fall in the presence of everyone? Do you get yourself embarrassed?" She whispered with a chuckle, and I shook my head.
"I'm not used to the way they are all staring at me, and it makes me feel like I'm going to miss a step, and fall" I shook my head, and she continued giggling.
We got to the banquet hall, and she offered me a seat in front of the audience. A lot of people were taking pictures of me, and for the first time I was being treated like a freeborn instead of a slave.
Few minutes later, a Lamborghini pulled over in front of us. I watched the driver get out of the car, and went round to open the back door of the car.
Everyone held their breath, waiting to see what the notorious tyrant looked like. I think I was the most nervous among them all, and the moment I saw the car, my anxiety grew the more.
A leather shoe clad was seen from the door the moment the driver opened the door. Xander stepped out of the car. What I saw got my jaw numb, and I stared at him stunned.....
