The Strong Alpha

4. Have Fun Walking In Those!

"Say goodbye to them all." A man with a black ski mask says, motioning behind him where I see Father, Sienna, Gorgia, and Jonah in a row with their hands and legs bound together by a rope with wolfs Baine and another rope covered in wolfs Baine in their mouths, tears running down all their faces. My wolf howls in pain at seeing all my loved ones going through so much torture. I let an emotionless mask fall over my face, not wanting him to get the satisfaction he is seeking. "Who are you?" I ask, taking a step closer. "Your worst nightmare." He says with a twinkle in his eye. That voice. It's so familiar. Who is this dude? That should've been my first sign that something was wrong.

"Please, whoever you are, let them go. You're obviously here for me, correct?" I ask taking another step forward. "So please let them go. You can take me, just release them and leave them alone." I say after he nods. "I think not." He says and almost instantly, men appear, one between each of my loved ones and they all pull out a gun, pressing it to each person's head. My friends and family all start lashing around frantically, tears falling freely from their eyes. Within seconds, all the men pull their triggers at the same time and Father, Sienna, Gorgia, and Jonah all drop to the ground dead. The man begins chuckling and I lunge forward, pinning him to the ground, and pull off his mask to reveal an evil and malicious looking Brent.

I shoot up in my bed with a start and notice I'm panting. I look over to my alarm clock to see the number turn to 5:00 a.m. and the alarm start going off. I push the button to turn it off and sigh in confusion. What was that? A sign. My wolf whispers from the back of my mind. But why today of all days? Ignoring the dream, I get up and move to my closet and pull out a navy blue bra and navy blue underwear before making my way to my bathroom and turning some warm water on. I place the undergarments on the counter and take off the robe I had changed into, hang it up, and step into the shower. After shaving and making my wolf angry and doing the rest of my shower duties, I step out of the shower and wrap my robe around my body and tie it.

After drying off my body and putting on my undergarments, I pull out my blow dryer and plug it in. I section off my hair and blow dry each section before brushing through it all and putting it away. I walk out of the bathroom and into my bedroom in just my bra and underwear and move to the closet. Turn around you dummy. You're blind.  My wolf yells at me, laughing at the end. I turn around with my hand on the handle and see a box on the bed with roses and a paper beside it. I tilt my head and walk closer, wondering where it's from.

I pick up the paper and see that it's a note from Brent. Good morning Beautiful, I know you don't like dresses but today is a special day! I knew you wouldn't take the initiative to buy your own dress and heels and I confirmed that once you got in the shower so I'm glad I thought of this the other day. There is a dress and a pair of heels in the box for you. Be ready by 7 a.m... Don't eat breakfast. I love you. –Brent

I open the box and see a cream colored fabric, pulling it out to reveal a dress* with a leather top with a sweetheart neckline with no straps connected to a cream skirt that would be see-through had it not had an under layer. The under layer I guess comes above my knees but the thin fabric hanging around it comes to about knee length in the front but drops to ankle length in the back. Ok so maybe his taste isn't that terrible. My wolf grumbles from the back of my mind. I chuckle and lay the dress down, moving to see the heels. The heels are a shiny black stiletto, probably about five inches with an open toe. Ha! My wolf laughs. Have fun walking in those! I groan as I realize how hard it is for me to walk in wedges, let alone stilettos. Oh joy!

I pout and walk into the bathroom after setting the heels down, where I apply foundation and concealer and blend them in, then apply a contour that took me forever to learn from Gorgia, and then blend that also. I then put primer on my eyelids and apply a natural gold to my eyelids and blend in a bronze into the crease of my eyelid then put on some mascara and light pink lip gloss and walk out of the bathroom back to my bedroom. I grab my white spandex shorts and slip on the dress and walk to my dresser to find some jewelry in the box perched on top. I eventually settle on my diamond nose stud, diamond earrings, a set of dark silver bangles and a light pink pearl cluster bracelet with a matching ring. I go back to my bed and glare at the set of heels, deciding I'll wait until I'm leaving my bedroom to put them on. I instead go to my closet and pick out a black leather clutch. I turn around and see that my alarm clock says 6:45 and go to the bathroom and brush my teeth, apply deodorant and perfume and walk out to my bed, slip into the heels, and grab my phone to put it in my clutch, and then reave my room. I hear Brent and Father talking downstairs and start going down the stairs as a grand entrance. I see Brent standing beside Father with a big grin on his face. He's dressed in black pants and shoes with a cream colored dress shirt to match me. I blush at his gaze as it travels across my body, eventually meeting my eyes.
