The Broken Warrior's Daughter

“Okay, that man is seriously smoking hot!” Tina says as she walks in. “And you, my Luna, are a lucky woman.” “Yes | am.” | tell her.

“And so am |.” She says, looking at me with a glint in her eyes.

‘Why is she looking at us like that?‘ Alessia asks.

‘| don’t know, but it can’t be good.’ | reply.

“I've been dying to get my hands on your hair since you came into the salon and | couldn't believe my luck when Alpha Liam called. | cancelled all my appointments for the rest of the afternoon so | could spend hours getting you ready. You, my dear Luna, are going to be the most gorgeous Luna in the history of Lunas!” Tina says excitedly.

Her increasing level of excitement is a direct correlation to my increasing level of anxiety. What in the world is she planning to do to me? | have visions of Effie Trinket in my head.

In the end, | have to admit, it was much better than | thought. Having Tina work her magic on my hair was very relaxing. When she was done, | looked amazing. | still looked like me, but better, enhanced. “Wow!” | said, looking in the mirror.

She smiled a brilliant smile, clapping her hands. “You like it?

“It's gorgeous.” She had taken my hair and pulled the back up into a high ponytail then covered it with curls so you couldn’t tell it was in a ponytail at all. Then she left long ringlets down my back, with some long bangs in the front. The sides were held up with a silver clip that matched my shoes.

“Okay Luna, so | hope you don’t think this is too forward, but word on the street is that you showed up at our pack with nothing but the clothes on your back.” | nod at her, not sure where this is going. “And, we all know our Alpha barely has a moment to do anything, so | know he hasn't really taken the time you need to go shopping.” | nodded again.

“So,” she draws out the word, digging into her bag. “I brought you some undergarments meant to turn our Alpha to a puddle of mush at your feet.”

She pulls out a bra and panty set. It’s black lace, the panties are thong, which I’ve never worn and the bra is so lacey that | know it won't last longer than the one night. Liam will rip that off me in no time.

TO +15 BONOS “Thank you Tina. That was very thoughtful.”

“Oh, it’s not just from me, Luna. So many of us are happy that Alpha Liam finally found his mate. He’s wanted to find you for so long, and we've already seen a difference in him. He’s a great Alpha and he deserves to be happy, so this is from the entire salon.”

I stand and hug Tina. “I'll be sure to come by and thank everyone. Now, can you help me into my dress. | think it's almost time.”

| only wore the new panties, as the sleeves on the dress and the lower back didn’t allow for a bra. When I’m dressed, Tina leans in and gives me a hug. “I’m so happy for both of you.” She says. She steps back, takes one last look at me, then turns to go. “See you down there.”

| take a moment to collect myself, taking deep breaths. This is what | want, to be by Liam’s side for as long as he is Alpha. The thought calms me and | take one more deep breath, before heading downstairs.

| haven't been outside yet, so when | walk out the back door, I’m shocked at the transition. It’s been transformed into something spectacular. Standing by the door is Dustin, Sarah at his side.

“Luna. I’m here to announce you to our Alpha and escort you to the stage.” “Thank you, Dustin.” | lean around him and look at Sarah. “What about you Sarah?”

She looks shyly at Dustin. “Dustin said | could walk with you both until we get to our seats, then | will sit down and wait for him to join me.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Perfect!” | tell her. It’s not traditional for anyone other than the Luna and their escort to walk through the pack, but I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Sarah, so I’m happy to have her with me during this momentous occasion.

“Alpha’s ready for you. Are you ready Luna?” He asks, putting his arm out for me

to take.

“Yes.”

He gives his other arm to Sarah before turning back to me. “Alpha is going to swallow his tongue when he sees you.” He says and winks at me.

I'm not sure if he timed it that way, or if it just worked out, but my smile is brilliant as the pack members part and all | can see in front of me is Liam, waiting for me on the stage. Everything around me fades away, every person, every sound is gone. It’s just me and Liam, like it was always meant to be and

always will be. +15 BONOS
