A few hours later I find myself in the penthouse with the stylist that Ethan hired to help me get ready.
"That should do it," she says after she's finished applying my make-up.
"Thank you so much Gretchen," I tell her with a smile.
"Honestly, you made it way too easy on me," she responds with a laugh before she begins packing up
all her supplies.
I stand up from my seat and walk over to the full-length mirror that is in the closet. My eyes are smoky
and my lips are a cherry red, glistening with a glossy shine. My dress is a gorgeous, white lace number
that goes to just above my knees, hugging all my curves. The sleeves are made of lace and it has an
open back. Nude pumps finish off the ensemble and I smile at what I see. I have never dressed this
fancy before, but my confidence seems to have doubled because of it.
Leaving the room, I find my guards waiting for me in the hall to escort me down to Ethan's office where
he is finishing up some work. I knock on the door before hearing is husky voice call out, "Come in!"
I open the door and step inside. The moment he sees me his eyes darken with lust as they slowly rake
over my body. My core instantly heats and I press my thighs together, feeling my cheeks blush. His
nostrils flare and I know that he can smell my arousal. He quickly strides over to me, his lips crashing
against mine as his arms wrap around my waist and pull me into him. The kiss is full of passion as his
lips press against mine, demanding access for his tongue. He plunders my mouth, tasting it and
moaning into me. He pulls away all too soon, leaving me utterly breathless and I stare up at him with
wide eyes. "You are absolutely breathtaking," he murmurs in my ear before placing his lips on my neck
where his mark should be.
I let out a gasp as he nips at it and he gives me a devilish smirk before pulling away. I shoot him a
playful glare as I swat his shoulder and he laughs at my expression. "Come on now. We don't want to
be late," I urge as I link an arm around his.
"Yes ma'am," he responds teasingly with a grin as we turn to head out. Both Levi and Tony are with us
and they are smirking at us after that little show. I flush again and shake my head as we walk out and
down to the lobby to meet Alpha Lucien and his pack. A few minutes later Caleb escorts the Silver
Shadow Pack into the lobby and we head into Della Luna. "You will be sitting to my right at the table,"
Ethan says softly as he leans toward me.
"Are you sure that's okay? That's typically where the Luna or Beta would sit," I whisper back.
"I haven't officially announced you yet, but my pack clearly sees you as its Luna anyway. Besides, I
want you beside me."
"As you wish Alpha," I respond back with a smirk and he reaches over and links his fingers with mine
as we reach the restaurant. He pulls my hand to his lips and lightly kisses my knuckles before leading
me through the double doors. I admit, I'm quite nervous about tonight. Not only is that bitch Nicole
going to be here, but all the Alphas from our allied packs were also invited along with their Lunas,
Betas, and Betas' mates. Luckily, all of Ethan's siblings will also be in attendance.
We are instantly greeted by a middle-aged man dressed in a nice suit. "Good evening Alpha, Lu- er,
Scarlet," he replies with a welcoming smile.
"Good evening Rafael. May I introduce you to are esteemed guest Alpha Lucien of the Silver Shadow
Pack."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Alpha Lucien! I do hope you enjoy your dinner! Staff will be out shortly with
trays of antipasto and will be taking drink orders," Rafael states as he gestures into the main dining
area where several staff members are standing at attention ready to serve us.
