I didn't sleep that night... for two reasons
1. The dream creeped me out.
2. Coronation was tomorrow.
I stared at my hand. My mind was so confudled and perplexed. My thoughts were stars that I couldn't fathom into constellations.
I stayed awake until the dark starry night changed to one of orange and pink hues. Soon, sunlight filled the sky, pure scattered light; its hue ambitiously illuminating each crevice of the land. Sparrows chirped an explicit background melody. With breath paused in my lungs, I wished time would halt. The trees shone as if they were wearing golden crowns.
A new day had come, new possibilities, a fresh page yet to be written.I tried to calm myself down from last night's dream. I took a deep breath and stared outside the window.
The mist covered over the grass like a silvery blanket.
I fiddled with my thumbs as I waited for the days activities to commence. I felt on edge. I had to tell Xander about the dreams.
When Xander woke up I pretended to be asleep. Why? I really don't know... maybe I was afraid of stressing him out the day before coronation.
He got up and out of bed. I heard him sigh and he stretched. I fluttered my eyes open.
"Xander. ", I said softly.
"Rebecca? ", he mocked.
"I love you. ", I said. He smiled softly and nodded.
As soon as he went into the bathroom I got up and made the bed - I never made the bed, the omegas always did.
I sat on the couch and ran my index finger across my cheek.
I went to brush my teeth after a while. Xander was in the shower.
"Join me? ", he suggested and I did. Aqua ran over his sleek body and his hair was drenched in water.
------
The day before coronation was extremely busy. The entire palace was buzzing with excitement. Omegas cleaned and men carried decorations and furniture between rooms.
I was not allowed in the ball room - Xander said it was all a surprise.There was nothing to do the entire day as everyone was preparing for the guests. Wolves all over the pack had a free day. Everybody had smiles plastered on their faces and glowed. It seemed that I was the only one who was on edge. I went to visit Storm but to my surprise she wasn't there.
I inwardly sighed. Everyone had their own things to do today it seemed. I was walking int the kitchen when at least 12 people hurried after me.
"Luna, where give you been? We've been searching for you the entire morning. We have so much to do, let's go. ", a very funky she-wolf with a raspy voice said quickly. She seemed a few years older than me. She had short pink hair and a tounge piercing.
The wolves aroumd her books and pallets of makeup.
The stylists - Grace answered.
I have never worn makeup in my life - today will be the first. I never had a use for it before.
I was ushered to a room with a mirror. I was plucked - told to say still and kept my eyes shut for a long time.
"This shade of gold - it's beautiful. ", the she-wolf who introduced herself as Anita said.
She applied some neutral lipstick and clapped.
"Honey, you're already beautiful without the make-up, so I didn't over do it. ", she smiled.
I looked at the mirror and gasped. I looked good - really good...
"thank you - you're - this is - ", I couldn't string my words into sentences.
She smiled politely at me and nodded to show that she understood me.
Within the next few moments, Another lady came into the room - equally as busy as the everyone in the palace.
She carried a huge dress-covering. I knew she had brought my dress. She sun the door and turned around but was knocked over by the door opening quickly. I rushed over to help the lady who fell and loomed up to see who opened the door. It was Storm.
"Oops... sorry. ", she said embarrassed. I helped the lady up.
"Are you alright? ", I asked.
She nodded.
"Thank you, Luna. I'm Grace. ", she greeted.
"Grace? My wolf's name is Grace. ", I said and she smiled.
She was a nervous character. She was around my age as well and she wore big glasses that hid her face. Her hair was curly and tied up.
"I just need to do some last minute adjustments to you dress. ", she said nervously.
I nodded and began to put the dress on.
"I'm going to steal your dress! ", Storm said with her mouth opened. It was a long blue dress. Backless and it hugged my curves.
"I went looking for you, where we're you? ", I smiled at her.
"I went to sort my dress out, "she said "You will not believe who has arrived. ", she said excited.
Grace began to tighten parts of the dress.
"Who? ", I said in amusement.
"Alpha Velard ", she said with wide eyes.
"Ouch!", I shouted. Grew accidently poked me and she jumped in fright.
"It's ok. ", I smiled sympathetically and she carried on fixing my dress.
"Alpha Velard? ", I asked. Who on earth was he?
"Alpha Velard - A powerful Alpha who lives in France- He is so heart-eyes. ", she was like an excited teenager because of the pregnancy hormones. I chuckled.
"The alpha who started the charity organisation ? He's so dreamy... I heard that he found his mate. ", Grace said with excitement. Both Grace and Storm began to have a conversation about Alpha Velard... their voices faded away
I heard a whisper 'Guilty shall walk free'
Grace howled.
"Do you think Alpha Verlard has ? ", Storm asked.
"Sorry I wasn't following - what were you saying? ", I blinked and snapped back into reality.
What is going on? I must tell Xander.
Storm gave me a grave look.
"Are you alright? ", she asked seriously.
I nodded.
"I'm excited about coronation - my mind is elsewhere. ", I smiled. She nodded and we began discussing Alpha Verlard.
