Sean parked his car in front of Glow's house and honked twice, like a boyfriend would when picking up his girlfriend. Being gay, he most times took to the masculine role, he is the male in his relationship with his boyfriend. However, when he transforms, he is a male wolf, his alter ego. That was the reason why he was unable to control his actions. Glow now understood him better as she had always wondered why he acted weird sometimes.
He has not been matched to a mate yet, until the moon dance, all unmatched wolves would be given a mate. There's fairly enough time until the dance so Sean promised to assist Glow with all she needs to know before she gets a mate. Sean was already attracted to Dylan, his boyfriend before he got his wolf, hence, he could not leave him, when he discovered his wolf was not gay. He only prayed and hoped that he was not assigned a mate during the upcoming moon dance.
Glow was already waiting for him, when he arrived. He had booked an appointment with a stylist to be in charge of Glow's makeover, so he was here to take her there. After the second honk, she was running around trying to get her bag and other stuff she would need. Her mom yelled from her room, coming out to the living room.
"Why is Sean here to pick you up, is there something you are not telling me? You're acting weird these days" She gave Glow that look that one gives when suspicious and trying to dig out answers from you with their eyes.
"Oh no, mum, what do you think I am keeping away from you." Glow asked, running towards the door, then made a detour back to the kitchen to grab an apple and a bottle of water from the fridge.
" Is he finally straight? Are you two going out…like on a date?" Mrs. Hillside said standing in Glow's path. Glow was now speed walking and almost bumped into her but made a quick sideways move avoiding her.
"I told you earlier, I am going out with Sean for an appointment." She went back to the door, waved goodbye to her mum and disappeared through the door. Mrs. Hillside sighed and moved towards the door to close it then spotted them zoom off.
On the way, Sean told Glow about the complexity of his personality. He told her about his wolf Darco, how he hasn't been assigned a mate by the moon goddess and how he hopes the mate he gets would be Dylan. Sean had scheduled the appointment for Glow and he was paying for everything. He first of all pulled up in the parking lot of the boutique downtown. Glow tried on so many clothes but Sean never approved of anyone she liked, Glow could not help but grumble and stagger back to the dressing room. After he watched her appear in the most ugly and tacky dresses, he got fed up and could not believe his eyes, he could not believe Glow had no good taste in clothes.
"From your choice of clothes, I could only imagine what your closet looks like." he dissed her, shaking his head in pity. He knew that he had to intervene, else they would be stuck there.
"My closet looks like 'comfy' and 'safe'. How do you want it to be?" She replied a little annoyed.
" Like a normal girl, not a psycho nerd who would wear pages of a book if she could. Girls were meant to be attractive and not boring like an electric pole." Sean roasted her and the storekeeper giggled.
"Shut up Sean!" She yelled from the dressing room.
" You know what? I'm going to perform boyfriend duties but I'm not your boyfriend, and get the dude to pay me when you find him. Now get your a** out here." Sean responded before standing up.
He made sure she picked out a mix of outfits that he knew would make her look sexy, classy, chic and elegant. He made sure to use his other eye, the wolf eye, the part of him that was potently masculine and he guessed might be vulnerable to feminine aesthetics. He realised that he was crazy and acting weird, when he discovered that he was also anticipating to see what glow would look like in the clothes he picked. He knew it was all the doings of Darco, his wolf self. He immediately dismissed Darco whom he had allowed to operate just so that he could pick out the best clothes. But as it turns out, Darco was overreacting and making pining, to stay and watch when Glow would put on the clothes. As soon as she stepped out of the dressing room, he heaped all the clothes he picked out on her. He sat back on his chair and watched her come out after wearing each one, while Darco enjoyed the view. Glow's slender figure was accentuated by the dress she wore and she was absolutely glamorous, even she could not believe her eyes when she looked in the body sized mirror. He gasped in shock when she came out in a short black halter neck leather dress. The dress opened into a flare from the waist and ended mid thigh, a couple of inches away from her knee, giving her a chic and sexy look.
"That's the one." He muttered, unbeknownst to him everyone heard him, he only caught on when glow asked him what he meant. She had caught his expression and how he bit his lower lip, which made her feel weird and good at the same time. He told her that she would wear the dress to school the following week. They got some shoes to match with each dress and left for the salon.
After hours of working on her hair, moisturising her face, trimming he brows, waxing her legs and face, adding some shine to her nails, make up, Darco was ecstatic and could not believe his eyes, even Sean let Darco take over completely and he could hear Darco's victorious laughter in his head.
When Glow was done and checking herself out in the mirror, she could not believe she was the one standing in the mirror. She was beautiful and hot, there was no visible difference between her looks and the hot girls of the school, if not that she looked better. Her silver and red silky hair gave her a fairy vibe and her pale white was tamed by the black shiny leather dress. Her heels adorned her legs beautifully.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you like what you see?" Glow asked feeling shy but she understood that look in his eyes was that of admiration even though he would definitely deny it. Her green eyes shone brighter than usual, more like dazzling emeralds.
"Mate!" Darco rejoiced and Sean could not believe his mind. He restrained Darco. This outburst of his wolf made him realize that he had no choice, his wolf was definitely a straight wolf but he was gay, there was no way he would want his best friend to be his mate, that would be too much of a hassle on Glow, especially now he knew he was bisexual because of his wolf's opposition to his actual self.
" Who ever knew you would look great in heels? I should be praised like a god for this discovery." He said walking towards her mimicking the alpha's graceful walk. She could not help but laugh.
He circled around her with scrutiny in his eyes and her smile disappeared. What was that about? She wondered.
"You feel perfect, but something is missing." He continued to a curious Glow who did not understand a single thing from what he said but also tried to understand why he was acting strange.
"What is missing?"she asked.
"Never mind, let's get out of here." he responded, to a surprised Glow who just followed behind him after grabbing her phone. Did she annoy him in any way? She kept thinking. The drive home was quiet and quick unlike the one leaving home that was bubbly and exciting.
He helped her with all the bags they got earlier, then stopped just in front of the door.
" About what was missing…" he flashed her a smile then continued.
"You need a little bit of confidence. See you in school." He patted her shoulder and turned to leave. She was stunned and kept wondering what she had done. She stared at his departing figure then called out to him. As he turned to the sound of her voice, she thanked him. He smiled and nodded, then got into his car and zoomed off.
Best friends really do make things easier, right? Glow thought as he kept admiring herself in the mirror and she made up her mind to accept this gift of nature, without hesitation.
However she had a problem. Maintaining this look meant she had to be a proper girl and do girly stuff. She has to spend hours everyday to keep herself pretty. With that, she slumped on the bed and let out a frustrated scream. Bidding goodbye to her nerdy and comfy life.
