The dress was black. The v-neck accentuated my breasts. Breasts that weren't a secret to those in the room. Laid on top of those breasts was a diamond necklace, the diamond hanging on a silver chain laid over the curve, matching the glisten from my earrings. My hands ran nervously down the velvet material of the dress, the velvet material that met my sheer black stockings above my knees, the lace peeking out below my skirt after all the running. The stockings ran down to my black heels, the bottoms covered in mud and grass. Hair wild, dress shifting, underwear peaking out my dress and all of this meaning nothing because they caught me anyway. I'm trapped. Trapped between three men, their gaze devouring my sweaty frame. I think about screaming for help, wanting a way out. But I don't. I don't want a way out I want a way in. I want to be fucked, raw hard and sweat filled fucking. But I know all they want right now is for me to talk.

"I don't know guys do you think it's too... sexy for a Luna?"
"Come on, you look hot in anything this dress just happens to accentuate your... assets," Nat says pointing to my boobs.
"You did say you wanted to look hot and with your image right now, looking good is a benefit," says Anna.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I turn to her concerned.
"Well... word may have gotten around that you were poisoned... don't worry no-one knows how it happened and with good reason too the last thing the pack needs is a Luna with a party-girl reputation," Anna says.
"Oh yeah because being a weak poisoned Luna is much better." I say panicked.
"Hey relax, a dress like this and no-one will be thinking of you as weak," Nat says.
"Yeah they'll be thinking of me as the whore who fucks the two Alphas," I say.
"Chill girl chill, this dress is perfect," Anna says.
"It's not even white it should be white," I say sighing.
Nat comes behind me and grabs my shoulders. "Do you look good?" There's a small pause before she yells "Answer."
"Yes I look good," I mumble embarrassed.
"Do you feel good?" She asks.
"Yes I feel good," I say.
"Then this is the right dress," she says. "Lets buy it and go look at underwear."
Nat and Anna leave me for a minute alone while I stare at my reflection. I feel good and healthy for the first time in a while. The colour's back in my cheeks and I've gained some weight back. My eyes are finally bag free and my hair is thick and shiny. I feel like myself again. Unfortunately that means I have more time for my thoughts.

I take off the dress and head back into the shop to buy it.

We walk all around the shopping centre until Nathan is trailing behind us buried in bags, stumbling to look at his feet. As we trail past shops gazing through windows, Anna attempts to prepare Nat and I on the upcoming event.
"Wait what happened?" I ask.
"The Alpha of the Oakwood pack was challenged and killed by his brother who at the time was his Beta," Anna explains.
"But why?" Nat asks.
"Apparently the pack had filed multiple complaints of misconduct by their Alpha, nasty stuff trust me you'd rather not know. Anyway the council has not even done a pack welfare check and the Beta has been away so when he returned he challenged Alpha Bentley and killed him. Now, the council asked Alpha Raphael and Alpha Adam to vet the conditions of the new pack and Alpha."
"Wow, that's a lot," Nat says.
"Why didn't the council do anything?" I ask.
"The councils a bunch of old farts who are stuck in their ancient ways of corporal punishment and treating women as less than," Anna groans.
"Isn't your Uncle J on the council?" I ask, remembering old cloaked men that used to filter into the office at the Alpha and Luna's house when I was a child.
"You've been away for too long, do you not remember the way things used to be around here? When my father nominated me as his successor, Alpha Johnathan had a fit. He didn't deem it proper as a woman couldn't be capable of being Gamma. Obviously he came around but not because he wanted to but because Raphael and Adam refused to select anyone else," Anna reflects.

I didn't realise how much I'd missed being away, how much I didn't know. We continued to chat and Anna continued to prepare us for the evening ahead but the more she spoke the more anxious I became about the role I had to fulfil as Luna. This is my first time interacting with another pack as Luna Reine, of course it's not official until the mating ceremony which I hope is still taking place later this week. After everything that happened, I'm not sure Raph and Adam even want me as their Luna. I seem to be developing a reputation and I won't blame them if they want to wait, although I'm dying to fuck them.
