“I hate dresses.”

“What do you mean?” my mom asked, “You have a ton of dresses in your closet.”

“Okay, then let me rephrase that,” I replied, tugging at the collar of the high-necked dress my mom had forced on me. “I hate wearing dresses that make me feel like I’m in a convent. Why can’t I wear something from this century?”

My mom sighed, and she leaned back against my wall. “Fine, but show me what you want to wear first.”

“Thank you,” I muttered, and I walked past her into my closet. I flicked through the clothes hung up on their hangers until I found a dress that was cute, but one that would also satisfy my mom’s desire for appropriateness. 

It was a short-sleeved, mint green lace dress with a white peter pan collar. It came down to just above my knees, and it showed off my curves a lot better than the potato sack my mom wanted me to wear. 

“What about this?” I asked, holding it up against my body. 

“That’s cute,” my mom replied, tipping her head to the side. 

“Can I wear it instead of this lovely frock?” I asked, slight sarcasm accompanying my words. 

“Of course, dear daughter,” my mom said, her sarcasm matching mine. Then, she gave me a wink and walked out of my bedroom to go get herself ready. My smile slid from my face as the door closed behind her, and a frown took its place. 

Today, the Fire Sun pack was arriving at the pack house for the week of the full moon. With all of the drama with Eli, I’d completely forgotten about their arrival. That was definitely not the best thing for a future Alpha to do, but I’d been otherwise preoccupied. 

Now, the downside to being my dad’s first born was that I had to go with him, Fae, and Adam, to receive the Alpha and Beta of the Fire Sun pack. Thankfully, their pack was small, and we had enough guest rooms to fit everyone. Humans, if they ever shown up to our house, would probably think it was a commune. 

To prevent suspicion, the pack house had been built in a place hidden from view. Sure, it was weird when any of my soccer teammates wanted to come over and I had to say no, but I wasn’t extremely close with any of them like I was with my pack mates. 

I tore off the frock and pulled the lace dress on over my head. Then, I closed the zipper on my side and tugged my hair out from beneath the dress. Then, I grabbed a thin, white sweater and shrugged it on over the dress.
