The moment was finally here, I was extremely tensed but I was still doing a good job in hiding it from Diana, whom still had not suspected a thing even till now, I silently praised my perseverance.

Diana was busy gushing about how perfect everything in the field where the mate dance was to be held looked and truthfully it was breathtaking, it looked like a wedding in the forest except it was no wedding but still would be a celebration of love for when mates find each other.

A part of me wished I could fully be part of the mating ceremony, I could put on that blue dress in complete happiness as I await my second half.

Instead I was sitting patiently all dressed up in the beautiful blue dress while Diana painted my face to what she called perfection as I was yet to see her work.

"Perfect!" Diana exclaimed as she finally stepped away for me to look at myself in the mirror beside me"So what do you think?" She asks excitedly

"Wow!" I responded in shock, I was completely stunned, I never could have imagined I would look presentable and beautiful after all these years, my eyes was already glistening and the tears threatened to spill but I had to force them back to avoid ruining the beautiful work done by Diana

"My beautiful Anna", Diana smiled sadly, her voice reminded me of my mother and my heart broke, over the course of three weeks since Diana had managed to free me from the dungeons, I have known no pain , no molestation and no bullying, it was enough to make me stay but I have become greedy and I craved freedom like the air that I breathe, maybe after I have settled down in the human world and made something for myself, I would sneak in and check up on her.

"Thank you", I greeted, I truly meant it , the woman looking back at me looked strong and capable and independent and fearless, that woman was me though I do not feel those things on the inside, I see it on the outside and now I will try to make myself feel that way on the inside from today on when my freedom had finally been achieved.

I stood up from the chair and gave Diana a tight hug, this would be the last hug in a long while and I will cherish it forever and I am happy to say that in the end Diana remained my friend and the one person that stood with me when everyone was against me.

"Anna!" She giggled, "it is only makeup, are you okay?" She sounded worried

"I am fine, I never expected this to happen, I have not looked this beautiful in years" I confessed half truthfully, I couldn't tell her that the main reason for the hug was to tell her goodbye, in my own way.

"You don't have to thank me. And you look more than beautiful, darling you look breathtaking", she smiled and I weakly smiled back, I would definitely miss her a lot.

After Diana had fully dressed and gotten all dolled up we stepped outside to the glamorized field, Diana gain compliments from both sexes as she gracefully walked into the setting, while I towed behind her silently and my head hanging low.

Diana was indeed beautiful, the white flowing chiffon fairylike dress made it look as if she was to wed, she was breathtakingly gorgeous and the pack members were well in their rights to compliment her.

She walked over to the podium were the Alpha and his Son, Williams , my childhood crush and the man I had hoped would eventually be my mate was seated. William stared back at me when I had looked up to catch a glimpse of him, it almost appeared to be that he had a scowl on his face but I might be wrong, but if I am right that would possibly mean that my presence was not pleasing to him, but why should someone like me be a bother to him, we had no connection, we had nothing, he had simply been the brother of my best friend that I had silently crushed on for years. I threw my face away and followed Diana quickly behind her
