"Come on we need to pick you the Best dress, no one has to out dress you tonight, well of course I am an exception, " Megan said pulling me all the way to her car, her hand tight around my wrist."
"Dress? Tonight? What is happening tonight?" I asked as she forcefully shoved me into the truck. Kiley was already there too.
"Its the welcoming ceremony,(she said recklessly reversing the car out of the driveway.) you know, to welcome you as our Luna, introduce you to the pack, and have a nice family dinner. We would have thrown a big feast but with Mom and Dad missing we can't really be throwing parties, plus we," she stopped mid-sentence and slowly turned her head towards me,
"Erm ,I get the feeling am overfeeding you information, anyway no biggies you are part of the family now so it shouldn't be a secret ." She said after noticing the weird stare I was giving her.
" What happened to your Mom and Dad?" I asked, Brandon has never mentioned them before, and I thought they were around since the theatre was owned by his parents.
"Nothing much just kidnapped or rather enslaved by the evil demonic power hungry wolf, whose name I don't even know, Brandon doesn't tell us much, you should ask him, anyway what kind of dresses do you like, open back? Long? Short? Do you like slits, puffs??"
"I prefer plain Jeans and a nice leather Jacket ." I said and I saw both the girls drop their mouths in Shock, but my focus wasn't really on them, why would Brandon keep his own family in the Dark about the whereabouts of his parents? shouldn't they know everything?
"Scarlett??" Megan called out, still on the issue of me saying I liked jeans.
" what?? Do we really have to do all this today, like aren't we moving too fast?"
"Well technically we are dogs, and you know how fast they grow sooo, tik Tok." Kiley said and I couldn't help but laugh at her humor
"Really Kiley?? Did you have to refer to us as dogs,"
"What? Just trying to use a word to make Scarr understand faster."
This is going to be a long day, just this morning I was introduced to a pack of people I don't know and now I was going shopping in preparation to meet with a bigger Crowd! I seriously wasn't enjoying all this attention, I was not used to it, I am not the front girl, I am the shadow, the one who goes unnoticed, and I do Better on my own, I've never had to be around people and had to be so close to them. Heck, I'm not even good at conversing.
"Well, here we are," Megan screamed pulling me out of the truck into the completely overcrowded Mall, dragging me from shop to shop, and forcing almost everything on me. I didn't like any of the dresses and I saw her and Kiley begin to deflate and lose hope in me so I tried to make some effort, I picked out a long peach-colored dress, which I can't really describe because I am not a dressy person, but by the looks on their faces, I could tell they were satisfied with my choice, and for the shoes, I chose the simplest pumps, I did not want long shoes that I could not even walk in. Satisfied with my picks they took me to the beauty shop to get my hair done.
"Cut my hair, and I chop off your fucking knees" I threatened the hair stylist and I saw the girls widen their eyes in disbelief as the stylist shook in fear and I felt like a bit of a savage, but I meant it, I didn't like anyone touching my hair, it just felt weird.
When all that was done we grabbed lunch and drove back to the house. I actually didn't mind being there, they didn't treat me like a stranger and they were not fussing over me like some new kid in school. Well except for Megan, I personally liked her, I liked her reckless personality, and I liked Kiley's Bluntness, shopping wasn't all that bad, except the whole truck was filled with shopping bags of clothes Megan forced me to get, I am sure my closet does not have this much clothes in it.
She deliberately handed me all the bags and left me at the house saying that she and Kiley had to go and check out the venue for tonight, and I shamefully had to enter the house by myself with all those shopping bags, it wasn't all that bad, everybody laughed at me and they all warned me to stay away from Megan they were joking but I got what they meant.
My face still flushed with embarrassment, I walked up to Brandon's room to put away all the bags and scold him for feeding me to wolf Megan. But he was not in his room, the second option was his office, Bingo! Even better I found both him and Jason there, they looked like they were having an important meeting, but I didn't care.
"I am going to Fucking kill you, both of you, how could you let me go with Megan knowing how she is? and how come nobody bothered to tell me about the event taking place tonight."
"Well, that's my queue." Jason immediately jumped out and Brandon sat there looking, like a kid who had been caught breaking the rules.
"Well?? you gonna say anything."
"You know Megan was not going to take no for an answer, no one can stop her once she sets her mind to something. And about tonight, I am sorry it's short notice I know, but it has to happen."
"But why?"
"Because, we have bigger problems and troubles that we are faced with, and we want the pack to know it's Luna before things get out of hand and start getting hectic around here."
"Okay, I'm ready to wake up now because at this point I feel like I'm living in the fast lane, everything,"
"Is Moving too fast, I know and I'm sorry to rush you like this without giving you the chance to process everything, But you have to understand Scarlett a lot is at stake"
I didn't respond, instead, I stood there looking into his beautiful eyes. Then once again I noticed the book and remembered Megan telling me about their parents being kidnapped.
" Megan told me about your parents," I said quietly.
"Of course she did,(he said face-palming that handsome face ) What did she say?"
"What happened to them? Who is this demonic evil wolf she was talking about and how come she doesn't know much about him?"
"That is what I am also trying to figure out," he said running his hands through his hair.
"Listen, Why don't you go get ready for tonight, we will have this conversation later, How's about that huh?" He said taking slow steps towards me, his lips dangerously close to mine.
I felt my body heat up, feeling the sudden urge to pull him into me crashing my lips on to his.
Snaking his hands around my waist he looked into my eyes, licking his lips.
My breath hitched in my throat and, I felt my knees weaken, but I was immediately clouded by this sudden shame, remembering our earlier make-out session, and all the other times we had such intimate moments.
I can't believe how easy it was for me to feel so strongly about him, and how much I wanted to give all of myself to him, with him it didn't feel like everything was moving too fast.
He leaned in to give me a kiss but I quickly ran out, escaping from his touch.
