A Rouge with Powers

Chapter 21

"Okay, everyone listen up." Jax orders the room filled with wolves. The room gets quiet immediately. Standing on the side of him, looking down to these wolves feels so bizarre. Being a rouge, I've never had to stay so composed and keeping up the business like facade. I steal a glance at Jax to watch him as he captures the entire room filled with about fifty or so wolves. His aurora radiating power, and leadership.

"For tonight's Annual Ball, I have decided to increase the security. Which means, there will be groups of six in each respected patrol area. Patrols around the territory will be continuous. Meaning when one group finishes their patrol, the next group will immediately start. Standing positions will be teams of three, no slacking off and no sleeping." Jax announces, every wolf acknowledging his orders with a 'Yes Alpha' after every specific order for tonight. After another hour of Jax splitting everyone up in groups of three and six, I fight with myself to keep my eyes open. I jolt up, hoping no one saw that, and notice the room getting empty. I look for Jax to see him talking to a few wolves, I get up and smooth out my clothes and walk up to him.

"Hey." Jax greets when he sees me coming to him, I give me a small smile in response.

"It's going to be three soon, you should go get ready for tonight." Jax says looking at the time. I sigh, not exactly ready for this ball.

"Yea, okay." Is all I say as I walk up to my room, making the trip as slow as I can. Once I reach my room, I hear talking and giggling. Confused, I open the door to see Jennifer, Mia, and Grace all in my room laughing about something. 

"Oakley! You finally came! We've been waiting for you for hours." Jennifer says, running up to me all excitedly.

"Yea, I had to sit with Jax through at meeting." I explain, yawning. I stare at my bed, wanting to pass out. I notice a bunch of stuff all over my bed.

"What's all of this?" I point to my bed. All three girls look back to my bed with smiles plastered on their faces.

"This is everything we need to get ready for tonight!" Mia says clapping her hands together, ready to start pampering up for the ball. I groan, not having any interest in this dance.

"I don't even want to go. Can't I just skip it and sleep?" Gasps from all three girls is all I hear.

"Of course not! Oakley you're the alpha's mate, even if you guys haven't made it official yet. Being the alpha's mate also means you'll be the future luna. So your presence is required for one of the biggest events for all packs." Mia explains while going through all the stuff on the bed, picking up a garment bag, a pair of shoes and a small bag. 

"This seems way too much effort just for a long ass meeting." I mumble while Mia puts down the stuff next to a desk with a huge mirror.

"Wait, when did that get here?" I ask pointing at the big desk.

"We had Zane bring it in so we can do each other's hair and makeup." Mia answers, adjusting the chair.

"Okay, Oakley you're first." She spins the chair in my direction. I stare at the chair, not really wanting to get all dolled up. My eyes dart towards the bed and then back to the chair. I sigh, showing that I give in not really wanting to fight against this. On the bright side, I don't have to do anything but sit.

"Okay, so knowing that you probably didn't make any plans for a dress or makeup. I designed your whole outfit for tonight." Mia pulls my hair up into a bun so she could do my makeup. She turns the chair around so that I'm facing her. 

"Okay, you are going to have to stay still for this okay?" Mia informs me. I nod not knowing exactly what she has planned for me.

"It will be low-key right? Nothing too extravagant?" I ask hopeful. She sends me a humble smile while putting some type of cream on my face.
