Eternal Wolves

Chapter 3:Ball Ready

We arrived at the spa where our hair appointments were made and the minute we pulled in, the paparazzi began swarming. Humans know of our existence, we just tend to stay within pack territory and if we have to leave our territory to venture into the human areas of the city, we still tend to stick with businesses owned by wolves so we can avoid the paparazzi. Over the years, instead of fearing us as humans used to, at some point, they began to grow infatuated with us. Or at least some humans have. We get stalkers, fanatics that beg us to turn them into wolves, and the paparazzi wanting photos of wolves. The higher the rank of the wolf, the higher the price for the photo. I didn’t even want to know how much humans were paying for photos of me right now, so I wasn’t surprised to see the swarm of them outside the spa we frequent for our hair appointment. The news vans were outside waiting too, to ask me questions and get a glimpse of Ani and me, I’m sure.

We jumped out of the limo as our bodyguards covered us with their coats and escorted us inside past the media circus.

“Miss Erickson! Miss Clausen! Welcome! We have your seats ready and your stylists are prepping the supplies needed for the

hairstyles you both requested. Right this way!” The hostess greeted us and guided us past the waiting area to the back and into a private room.

“Alexia!” I shout as I walk in the room and see Alexia already in her chair getting her hair done.

“Ari! Ani! Oh my gosh! Are ya’ll excited or WHAT?!” Alexia burst out as we walked in trying to keep still for her hairstylist.

“Hey girl! YES! We are stoked!” I burst with excitement.

“Sooo...Are you going to keep me on pins and needles or are you going to dish?” Alexia squeaks.

“Well, I was telling Ari on the ride over here that there are 5 unmated alphas attending with their betas this year, and every alpha has committed to attending to at least pay respect to King Harmon.” Ani fills Alexia in. novelbin

“HOLY SHNIKIES! This is going to be the party of the millennium with all the alphas committed to gathering! Wow !Are you nervous Ari?” Alexia squeals.

I laugh, “No not really...I am excited though!” I giggle.

We continue chatting as our stylists work on our hair. When we finished, we thanked our stylists before climbing back into the limo and heading back to the packhouse.

The drive back was uneventful, however, we did finish off the bottle of champagne. We were all quite happy and energetic by the time we got back to the packhouse. The makeup artists were waiting in my room to do our makeup. After we were satisfied with our makeup, it was time to dress and head downstairs to the ball.

I selected a rather grand dress for tonight. It was a creamy off- white color with small pink cherry blossoms scattered along the bottom of the dress. The dress was long and flowy to the floor and fell off my shoulders. The neckline was cut into a V to help show off cleavage. There was some small embroidery and sequins on the chest of the dress. The top of the dress had a built-in corset to give the ladies a boost to further flaunt my cleavage. Dad didn’t like that about the dress, but I didn’t care, I thought it made me look sexy and I loved it! Overall, it was a simple design but looked really elegant and classy. I picked out some black strappy heels to complement the dress and offset the touch of black stitching throughout the dress.
