Mated to The Lycan Alpha Kings

Ready for the Ball

Chapter 3

Ready for the Ball

The girls woke up to the ringing of Nahla’s phone, they knew it was their mother calling to wish Nahla a Happy Birthday. “Good morning Mom”, Nahla says in her sleepy voice. “Happy Birthday baby”! Cora screams. “Thank you mom, the ring is so beautiful, I love it so much”, she smiled as she looked at her ring. “Anything for you baby, have either of you found your mate yet”? Her Mom questioned. “Mom I just turned of age, so no I have not and if I do at the Ball later you will be the first to know”, she replies. “Were not getting any younger, we need little guppies running around here soon” she hears her dad Glan shouting in the background. “You hush and let our daughter enjoy finding him first” laughed her mom at her husband. “I have to get ready now, love you guys, bye”, Nahla says quickly and hung up the phone.

Selene looks over and sees her sister blushing, she heard what their dad said with her sonar hearing. She giggles because they said the same thing to her a few days ago. Nahla throws a pillow at her sister for laughing at her, which led the girls to having a morning pillow fight. Goose feathers were all over their room and hair. They only stopped when Mira walked in to help them get ready. Once they realized the mess they made and how they looked, all three women burst into laughter. “We’re sorry we made a mess”, Selene said. “It’s alright, I haven’t laughed this hard in a while so thank you. Now how about I pluck the feathers from your hair and you pluck your sister’s” Mira replied. 

So for the next hour they plucked feather after feather before showering and getting their robes on. A servant brought in a cart with waffles, eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, and a pitcher of fresh orange juice. The girls insisted Mira eat with them. They ate and when the girls were finishing up, Mira went to grab the dresses from the closet. Mira pulled the dresses out their bag. She gasped at how beautiful they were. The girls have not seen their dresses yet so when they heard Mira gasp they walked over and were absolutely struck with how gorgeous their dresses were. The girls were the same size and had the same figure, but when Selene saw the vibrant purple ballgown with a sweetheart neckline, lace starting at the top going down to her waist, encrusted with crystals at the bottom, she knew it was her dress. Nahla saw the Vintage black tulle ballgown with a plunging neckline, open back and slit from her thigh to the floor, she knew this ballgown was hers. 

Mira helped the girls get dress and did their makeup neutral, stating they were natural beauties. They despised wearing heels so they wore matching flats. They looked absolutely regal. Mira grabbed their simple gold crown and placed them on their head, the final touch. “You ladies look so beautiful, it was a pleasure to serve you these past two days. It has been arranged that Prince Adrian of Bloom will escort you into the Ball Princess Selene, and Prince Ridley of Delmare will escort you Princess Nahla”, She said. The girls thanked her as they hugged and went to the meeting hall outside of the Grand Ballroom.

Nahla walks to the meeting hall to look for Prince Ridley, she does not like his womanizing ways and already see’s the two women on his arms. She walks over to him and the women curtsied “Your highness” they said and walked away. “Looks like you haven't changed much”, she says looking into his big brown eyes, black hair, and beautiful smile. She won’t fall for his charms, besides she is waiting for her mate. “Hello to you to Nahla, the most beautiful lady I know”? “Nice try”, she laughs, “Let’s go grab a drink and wait for our host to be announced, no funny business”, they walk off to the ballroom. 

Selene saw Prince Adrian walking towards her, they are childhood friends since they were always with their parents during important meetings and gatherings. She stares at his beautiful green eyes and honey colored hair. He has gained muscle mass and grew a bit taller standing at about six foot two. Tall compared to her five foot four frame. They smiled and hugged each other. “Long time no see, Lee Lee, what’s it been a year or so?” Adrian teased. “You know I don’t like that nickname Adrian, and yes we have all been busy with our studies”, Selene replies. “You look stunning, I was hopping you were my mate”, he says shyly, his cheeks reddening. Adrian had been hoping Selene was his mate since he turned eighteen four months ago. He’s had a crush on her for as long as he can remember. “I’m sure you will find her soon, thanks for being my escort today”, she replied, quickly trying to change the subject. “Still, I hoped” he winked at her as they reached the landing to be announced. All the guest are waiting in the Ballroom, they’re last to enter since Adrian is hosting this year.
