Matthews P.o.v.
I sat in my office pondering on how I could get out of having to go to this party this coming Saturday. My Dads brother his beta his twin children were about to come of age and shift for the first time. Why I needed to be there I will never understand, but my father is absolutely being firm about this matter and has told me I have to go or else. No matter how hard I thought about it there was no excuse that would be good enough to get out of this, so I guess even though for the life of me I don’t want to I’m going to have to. I sighed heavily and began to pack my bag we would be leaving the day after tomorrow and it was about a three-hour drive so we would be staying there for the night.
I hope that I can at least have a bit of fun being twenty-one had its perks for sure and being prince but with all of that came great responsibility and soon my father would retire, and I would claim the throne but not until I find my mate as it says per law. And the next in line was my cousin who I knew was not a good fit as king as he was power hungry. I sighed once more and zipped up my bag I just knew I was going to hate this weekend and was not looking forward to it all.
My mom hopes I find my mate, but I don’t think I will I mean I’m twenty-one already and not even a hint of a mate. There was this one girl I found interesting a few years back the betas daughter the one who is about to shift for the first time. She was a stunner about 5’6” curves like a goddess breast, oh goddess her breasts were big but firm and bounced just enough to make any man drop to his knees. Her full lips pink like a rose and her hair black as night and her eyes the color of an emerald shining in the sun. We had talked for hours, and danced the whole night, and I had secretly prayed to the moon goddess that she would be my mate. It pained my heart to know she could possibly find her mate the same night that she shifted, and I was not okay with that at all.
Lirellas point of view
Tonight, was it, it was Saturday night and Owen, and I would finally gain our wolves and shift for the first time. At midnight tonight we would both meet our wolves and at one am we would shift for the first time and run with the pack. I knew I should probably sleep some more but I was so excited I just couldn’t. So, I quickly got up and got dressed and went downstairs to eat breakfast everyone was already up and eating pancakes I sat down next to Owen and began to fill my plate. “Lirella when you are done, I need you to get ready so we can go to the salon and get your hair done and your makeup done for tonight.” My mom said as she placed some more pancakes on the table. “Okay.” I said through mouthfuls of pancakes. Soon I was done, and my mom and I were on the way to the salon. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my hair but I kind of wanted my hair to put up with curls cascading down my face and neck.
And I wanted my makeup to be light and airy with light pinks and pastels since my gown would be a pastel pink. When they were done, I looked in the mirror and was stunned my hair was up with little pink and white flowers all inside of it and had a few curls cascading down my face. My make-up was light with light pink blush a shimmery pink eyeshadow with accents and pink lips I was Absolutely in love with my look. My mom and I quickly got back to the house to put on my dress it was a sweetheart neckline sleeveless fit and flare gown. It was pale pink with gems all over the bodice and top. And the bottom was ruffled out. I put on my gown and my matching shoes and headed down the stairs.
Owen and my dad were already downstairs, and Owen looked dashing with his tuxedo on and matching pink tie. My dad wore a grey suit with a white button up shirt and a blue tie and my mother a pale blue halter top tea length dress. It was almost time for the party to start and I was getting butterflies in my stomach. What if my wolf doesn’t like me what if she is not what I was expecting all these thoughts were flooding my brain when my brother mind linked me as if he knew what I was thinking, sis everything is going to be okay I know for a fact your wolf is going to be amazing just like you are I love you little sis stop worrying so much. I looked at hm and just smiled I knew he was right, and I took a deep breath to calm down. I knew this was going to be a big party but who the guests were was kept secret. The Luna wanted to surprise us all. We Got to the pack house and went inside, and it was amazing the Luna out did herself there was flowers and balloons and streamers everywhere. The dj was playing music through the speakers and it was a mix of a little bit of everything.
I went to go look for Lucie and I found her by the buffet table. “Hey girl.” I said as I walked up to her. “Omg Lirella you look absolutely breathtaking.” “Thank, you don’t look too bad yourself.” I replied. We chatted for a few more minutes when more guests started to arrive, I told Lucie I would be back as I went to go greet the guests. I walked up to my parents, and they were talking to the Alpha and the Luna. “Alpha Xavier, Luna Grace, this party is amazing thank you so much for all you did.” I told them excitedly. “Thank the Luna more than me she did most of the work.” He chimed in. “Oh, it was nothing it was my pleasure I love planning parties it’s what I do best.” “Well either way I love it so much and I can’t tell you how happy I am right now.” I answered.
We chatted for a bit more when the alpha said he had some special guests coming soon. I was intrigued on who these guests could be. It was not much longer when I was about to find out. In walked King Darius his wife Queen Liz short for Elizabeth and their son Prince Matthew. He was just as handsome as I remembered, and my breath caught in my throat. They started to make their way over and I just completely froze.
