Chapter Fourteen

Aria

Isit cross-legged on the bed, flipping through a book I'm not even reading, my mind too tangled to focus.

A sharp knock breaks through my thoughts.

Frowning, I close the book and walk to the door. When I open it, I am greeted by Rook, Bane's beta.

"Rook?" I ask, my eyebrows lifting in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"Good evening, Aria," he says, his tone formal as always. He holds out a sleek black box with the Devereux crest embossed on it. "The Alpha asked me to deliver this to you."

I blink at the box, then back at him. "What is it?"

He shrugs nonchalantly, though there is a glint of amusement in his eyes. "Open it and find out."

I hesitate, unsure what to make of this sudden delivery. "And he couldn't bring it himself?"

Rook's lips twitch as if he wants to smile but he knows better. "The Alpha has… other matters to attend to. Enjoy the evening, Aria."

Before I can ask more questions, he nods and walks away, leaving me standing there with the mysterious box.

I carry it back inside and set it on the bed, eyeing it like it might explode. With a sigh, I undo the ribbon and lift the lid.

The contents take my breath away.

Inside is the most beautiful dress I've ever seen—a deep emerald green gown that shimmers under the light. Nestled beside it are matching heels, sparkling earrings, and a delicate bracelet.

"What in the world…" I mutter, lifting the dress to inspect it further. The fabric is soft, luxurious, and clearly tailored to fit perfectly.

My phone buzzes on the nightstand, drawing my attention. I pick it up and see a text from Bane.

Bane: There's a pack party tonight. I expect you to wear the dress.

I stare at the message, my lips pressing into a thin line. Right, the pack party. I'd heard whispers about it in the past few days but had completely forgotten amidst everything else.

I quickly type back: This isn't necessary. I don't need all this, Bane.

His reply is immediate.

Bane: It's necessary. The maids will be there shortly to help you get ready.

I sigh, running a hand through my hair. Of course, he'd make a production out of this.

Me: I'm perfectly capable of dressing myself.

Bane: You're perfectly capable of arguing, too. Humor me, Aria.

I groan, tossing my phone onto the bed.

As if on cue, a soft knock sounds at the door again. When I open it this time, three women stand there, their arms full of hair and makeup tools.

"Good evening, Luna," one of them says with a polite smile.

"Luna?" I repeat, startled.

"The Alpha asked us to assist you," the other lady steps inside as if this is entirely normal.

"Wait, wait," I hold up a hand. "I didn't agree to—"

"Please, Luna," the first woman interrupts. "It would make the Alpha very happy."

I bite back a groan, knowing I've already lost this battle. "Fine. Let's just get this over with."

The next hour flies by with the women working quickly but meticulously, styling my hair into soft waves and applying subtle but elegant makeup.
