Amaris’ POV
“Get your *ss up, b*tch!”
I was woken up by Alpha Harry’s loud voice and kicking on the bed. My back is aching because of my hardwood bed. I lifted my face only to see Alpha Harry looking at me with disgust.
“Get up and get yourself ready for the Ball. Don’t anger me, Amaris.”
I gritted my teeth and restrained myself from spitting onto his face. If it wasn't for my mother's relics, I would absolutely tear this disgusting face in front of me.
I clenched my fists as I got up. I was soon brought to another room and there was a stylist and her group waiting.
"Dress her up. Make sure she'll be the shining star tonight." Alpha Harry ordered as he pushed me inside the room. I almost fell on the ground if I hadn't grabbed the corner of the table to balance myself.
"Yes, Alpha." The stylist nodded at Alpha Harry and then turned to me, "Please follow me and sit down, M...miss?"
I pressed my lips together and looked at Alpha Harry with confusion but he had already gone without giving me any more glance. My brows mounted as my eyes landed on the luxurious gown putting on the bed and the pair of crystal stilettos beside.
That's a rarity. I meant Alpha Harry never liked to spend any penny on me despite being wealthy enough. Every time he took me to a party, I only got a little time to simply make up after my heavy housework.
What the heck happened to him today?
"Miss, time is short. Let's start." Before I could figure out the answer, the stylist and her *ssistants had pressed me on the seat, coloring my face with fancy makeup that I couldn't even name.
For two hours, I sat there like a puppet feeling the time p*ssed like centuries. But the moment I caught my figure in the mirror at the end, I had to admit their marvelous skills.
My long wavy hair reaches my waist as it dances every time I move. My arms and milky legs were exposed. My pouty lips are bloody red. My naturally thick and curled eyelashes complimented my blue eyes beautifully. Everything on me fits my small and heart-shaped face.
Wearing an elegant and seductive dress, I was walking down the stairs carefully. Alpha Harry and his mother were looking at me.
"Well, not bad. Beauty might be the only thing you've got left, Amaris." Alpha Harry sneered as his eyes raked my whole body like a hawk.
"You should be grateful that you still have something value in my son's eyes, Amaris. Don’t do something stupid, or I will get you killed." Mrs. Colt warned me like an evil witch.
The way they stared at me made me feel uncomfortable as if I were a commodity for sale. I wished I could fight back but I couldn't. I had to restrain myself.
'One year, Amaris, just one more year. And then you can get the necklace as promised and leave these demons.' I clenched my dress while exhaling deeply to calm down myself.
"So, shall we go since everything is done?" I lifted my chin and asked him, while Alpha Harry just gave me a meaningful smirk and walked straight toward the gate.
I had to fasten my pace to follow him. But to be honest, the dress was not convenient at all. The neckline was too low, almost exposing my br*asts, and the slit on the right leg was too high, almost showing my panties. d*mn, was this his new way to humiliate me? A total pervert.
We both kept silent when we sat in the same car. I swore every second with Alpha Harry was torture for me. As soon as the car stopped, I couldn't wait to pop out.
I swallowed so hard as I saw the event hall. I had never seen such an elaborate and ostentatious display of power, luxury, and wealth. The whole banquet was arranged and decorated well with diamonds. The place looked like a dream and unreal.
It was the first time the Alpha King held such a big Ball. No one knew the exact reason but every important person from different packs was here, especially the Alphas and Lunas.
“Alpha Harry of the Blood Moon Pack, nice seeing you here.” A man accompanying a woman greeted us. I hadn't met them before because Alpha Harry only brought me along on occasions he deemed necessary.
Harry immediately greeted them back and introduced me to them, "This is my Luna, Amaris."
The soft voice he used to call my name made me goosebumps in disgust.
“I never expected your Luna to be this beautiful, Alpha Harry. You are truly blessed.”
Alpha Harry chuckled and pulled me closer to him. He held my waist so tight and smirked arrogantly, “Surely, my wife is a goddess. I was enchanted with her at first sight. I’m so glad she turned out to be my mate.”
'What a liar.' I rolled my eyes inside but faked a smile to cooperate with his show.
"Wait, her eyes. Is she the supposed successor of the Blue Moon Pack? The pack failed in that war."
My heart skipped a beat. They noticed.
Alpha Harry’s hand gripped my waist as if that fact annoyed him. He sucked his breath and looked at the woman who spoke, “Yes, but she’s now my wife. A part of my pack. I don’t care about her past. I accept everything about her.”
I balled my fists and hid them behind me. Such a two-faced bast*rd!
"Don't you say you were hungry, darling? Go over there and eat something first, I'll get you later."
As more guests crowded, Alpha Harry couldn't wait to let me go away so that his fragile lie wouldn't be easy to expose. This man was really making me puke. I grabbed a liquor and drank it straight to the bottom. I walked away to find a corner where I couldn’t get disturbed by anyone. However, someone approached me.
“Well…Well… Look who’s here. Your dress looks pretty, Amaris. I bet you haven't worn a dress this nice in years. I miss the days we shared dresses together." My stepsister Tyra came with a cocktail in her hand, but greed was written all over her eyes, just like every time she was planning to steal something from me.
I stared at her, coldly. “Quit your disgusting acts, Tyra. I didn’t come here to see some thief like you.”
Her face instantly turned red. I was about to leave when she grabbed my arm and stopped.
“You’ve become arrogant, huh? Do you really think Alpha Harry adores you? You are nothing but a pawn to please the Alpha King, Amaris. You're doomed to die for the sake of our pack!”
I raised my brow as I smelt conspiracy, “What do you mean?”
She started laughing like crazy. I roamed my eyes around. The guests have their own world. I’m just thankful no one is paying attention to us.
Tyra moved a little closer to me, “I have heard it, Amaris. Do you know why Father and Alpha Harry insisted on taking you here to this Ball?"
The malice on her face grew bigger and her next words sent chills down my spine.
"It's said that the Alpha King is searching for ingredients for a certain medicine. Something…that only blue eyes can give.”
