Pack of Lies

Chapter 26: Ball

1 week later

Warrick

It had been a whole week since Eliza had been taken to my grandmother for her dress fitting. Of course, I wanted to stay with her and watch my little beauty, but my grandma was having none of it.

She shooed me out saying that I would not be able to see my mate in her gown until the eve of the ball.

And now tonight was the night.

Tonight would be the night where the whole pack would gather for music, fun, food and to meet my Luna together by my side.

The week just gone had been hectic. Everyone was involved in the party preparations and it was something that every individual was excited for.

Everything was ready for tonight's major event and now it was a waiting game.

I bit my nails anxiously as I waited at the bottom of the stairs for my beautiful mate.

My heart was completely racing as I checked my watch and waited for Eliza to walk down the stairs.

I hadn't seen her beautiful face for 3 hours and it was killing me.

She had been locked away with 2 other girls spending time getting her all dolled up. But she didn't need to. I had seen her with messy hair, oversized pyjamas and a bare face with no makeup, but she was just as beautiful. She always looked beautiful.

"Alpha, you ready?".

"Y-Yes".

Nope.

The sound of heels clicked against the wooden floor and my eyes flew up to the top of the stairs.

My heart had completely stopped.

There she stood staring down at me with the biggest smile on her face.

"Holy fuck".

My hands fell over my mouth and my body slumped back against the wall as she slowly started making her way down.

I felt light headed, weak and in just complete awe.

This girl stumbled into my life and saved me. I owe her everything. And now, she was mine. This stunning woman was mine and I was hers.

My knees were weak and I wanted to collapse before my queen and worship the ground she walked on.

Wiping away the sweat on my head, I re-composed myself and straightened my wonky bow tie.

"Baby, o-oh my God. You look so damn beautiful".

Eliza stepped off the last step and walked towards me.

"Thank you, and you look very handsome".

I could feel my cheeks heat up at her compliment and whispered a quiet thank you to her before looking away.

"Kitten, don't hide that blush from me" Eliza whispered into my ear.

"Keep this up tater tot and I'll punish you when we come back home".

Eliza stared down at the ground, a blush of her own lighting up on her cheeks.

"So adorable" I mumbled under my breath and interlocked my hand in hers.

"Let's get going baby".

Eliza

I had never been to something so grand and magnificent. They only had a week to prepare, but they all did such a good job.

Everyone was having such a good time, and it felt wonderful to finally meet everyone.
