Masquerade Mate: Chapter Two

A/N

Hey everybody! I'm actually in a better mood now soo yay!

Anyway picture on the side is of Kristoff. Ooo Alex Pettyfer is mighty fine. Lol

*Kristoff POV*

I followed behind the petite maid walking in front of me to my father's office. Damn, I really needed to learn my way around this freaking castle already. It's embarrassing to ask people to escort me to places because I didn't know how to get there. I made a mental note of having Persephone here to give me yet another tour of the place.

We arrived at my fathers office and Persephone turned to face me with a blush covering her cheeks.

"This is it sir." She said softly with her head down in respect.

"Thank you Persephone." Her cheeks turned to a deeper shade of red at the mention of her name.

I watched her walk down the corridor with a small skip to her step. The young girl seemed to have a crush on me and if I was the guy I had once been I'd take full advantage of that little crush. Now the only woman I craved for was my mate.

'Yet you still managed to push her away....jackass'

I growled at my wolf's words but knew I couldn't get too upset. He was right after all. I haven't been the same since I rejected my mate. I thought that I wanted to keep living my player lifestyle but once I sent her away all I wanted was to call her back into my arms. Girls disgusted me after that night, I found myself pushing each and everyone of them away. Their touch brought shivers of disgust and an uncontrollable anger. That's why my parents brought me to this gigantic castle. Away from any female except the few maids . It was in the pack area but far enough away

from everyone.

My dad wanting me to have 'a talk' with him in his office worried me. Did he want to tell me I wouldn't be Alpha of the Ever Moon Pack because of my anger issues? The ceremony is supposed to be next month, he couldn't possibly do that.

I took a deep breath before twisting the metal knob and opening the door to my patiently waiting father.

"You wanted to talk sir?" I said respectfully.

"Come in. Sit down." He said.

I did as he said taking the seat directly in front of him. My mother stepped out of the shadows and took the seat next to me. I raised an eyebrow but other than that stayed quiet.

"We need to talk." My mother said softly next to me.

"About?" I held my breath.

"Your mate." My father intervened.

Damn....

********

Two weeks.

They were giving me two weeks to prepare for picking a Luna. At a masquerade ball; I mean how cliche is that? My parents thought that since I rejected my mate then maybe I should find a new one. The idea revolted me but at the same time I know that my mate will never take me back. I knew it the instant she turned her back to me. I needed a Luna in order for my parents to give me the Alpha status but the only girl I wanted will probably reject me in a heart beat.

I'm soo screwed right now.

*Alice POV*

Shopping. Not my specialty.

Actually I hate the idea of shopping. Walking around for hours carrying bags full of tons of things that I might not even wear. Ugh goosebumps.

"Come on girl!" Melanie called out to me.

"Yeah, we know you hate shopping but we need to get you an amazing dress for the ball!" Jen joined in.

I growled in annoyance letting them know I hated this more than they thought. We had already gone to ten stores and my patience was running short. This damn dress better freaking appear soon before I go on a rampage. The little boutique they pointed it at while I drove appeared finally and I was ready to start praising. As I walked closer my excitement faded; this store is really small and probably had a limited supply of gowns. I doubt it'd have My dress but still my two best friends trudged on giggling. I walked in behind them my mind set on not finding my dress.

"Oh give me a minute please!" Someone called from a back room.

The girls and I looked at each other and giggled. In no time an elderly woman appeared carrying a mannequin and rolls of frilly material. A huge grin appeared on her lips at the sight of us.

"Hi! I'm Melanie!" Mel stuck out her hand shaking the woman's arm, except it looked like she was pumping the poor woman.

The woman chuckled shaking each of our hands. Jen and I introduced ourselves and the woman told us her name was Marty. Marty was in her sixties though she still looked beautiful. Her hair was a long cocoa brown with a few streaks of gray that actually looked good surprisingly. Her eyes were warm despite the icy blue color and had little crinkles at the corner giving off the illusion that she laughed a lot. Marty lead us to a group of chairs set to surround this runway look alike platform.

"Okay girls tell me what your looking for. Wait first tell me the occasion?"

"Well Marty we're actually here for Alice." Mel said. "Jen and I already have our dresses."

That was another reason for my frustration. The two of them had gotten their dresses in the first store! Melanie's was a pearl pink that was form fitting on top and them puffed out at the bottom. Jen's was a lime green flowy thing that fit her like a glove. My besties looked great in their dresses but I was envious because I hadn't my found my dress yet.

"Alright. Alice please stand on the platform. "

A did as she asked and watched confusedly as she walked round me. I felt like a bug under a microscope but didn't show how uncomfortable I was.

"Oh oh keep in mind that her mate rejected her soo she needs a new one!!" Mel said.

I sent a glare to Mel who shrugged. Marty's eyes widened and then she frowned deep in thought. Suddenly she jumps unto the platform and begins taking my measurements. I stayed quiet as she mumbled to herself softly. Just as she had jumped up she jumped down. I got down as well and sat back in my chair.

"What colors would you like Sweety?"

"Uhh white and Aqua blue please."

"Perfect."

She turned on her heels walking away from us. We looked at each other puzzled before following her to the front of the store.

"Um not to tell you how to run your business but shouldn't you be helping me into dresses?" I raised a brow.

She chuckled.

"My dear I have no dresses for this special occasion of yours. I must start from scratch. I'll have your dress delivered at your door right before you leave for your ball."

"Uhh okay..."

"Now shoo I have much to do."

She shoved each one of us out the door and locked it behind us.

What the fuck just happened?
