“How can you guys go 19 years without doing hair and make-up?” Kelly asked as she went over to the

little make-shift make-up table. Maya and I looked at each other. We really liked Kelly, but Markus had

asked that we tell no one what happened until everything

came to light.

“We were omegas. We didn’t get paid much,” Maya said. It wasn’t a lie per se.

“Well, you’re just going to have to learn quicker. The Luna ceremony brings a lot of people in. I will

need to look my best so I can’t spend the whole day getting you ready. I need to look good when I meet

my mate too,” she said. Maya and I both blushed. Kelly noticed and her face fell. “I’m sorry. I didn’t

mean it how it sounded. I really like spending time with you guys, I am just a bad teacher and I get

frustrated.”

I gave her a small smile, “We appreciate all that you’ve taught us.”

Suddenly, her face lit up. “Sephora has classes that teach you about what make-up works best for you.

I will sign all three of us up. It

will be lots of fun,” Maya and I agreed.

We were getting ready for the dinner before the full moon run. I had argued that we didn’t need to go all

out because we were going

to get naked and shift after, but Kelly said this was the first time I would be presented as the future

Luna, so I needed to look my best.

I mostly wanted to have a chance to let Kara run free. We still hadn’t been able to. Dr. West said it was

better if I gained some weight

first. I had argued that I had a handful of times before already, but he said I had never run before. I

reluctantly agreed. I wanted Kara to

meet Atlas. Since we hadn’t completed the mating yet, they couldn’t talk to each other. It made it that

much harder to keep my own hormones in check while our wolves were pushing us to mark each other.

I had told Kara that I was ready, but that we needed to find the

right moment.

Kelly spent a long time on my hair. She had wanted to tame the curls but then gave up when they were

not cooperating. Instead, she added a bunch of stones to my hair. They sparkled when I moved. I was

wearing a silver and black gown. It had a portrait top in black corset with silver waning crescent moons

delicately embroidered throughout. The skirting of the gown was a shimmering delicate silver fabric that

went down to my feet. She’d managed to gather my curls back neatly and fastened it in a half crown

with a silver barrette. The

rest of my hair was flowing down to my butt. I had never been able to do much to my hair except braid

it or hand it in a pony tail, so I was

quite impressed at the pretty yet simple do. I had smoky grey eyeshadow with a hint of blue. It made

my eyes strikingly blue. She’d

paired it with pink tinted lip gloss.

She was wearing a red sweetheart dress with matching red lipstick and a beautiful ombre eyeshadow

look. Her hair was gathered up

in swirls. Maya was wearing a baby blue princess cut dress. Her make-up was earthy neutral

eyeshadows with soft pink shimmery

lipstick.

“Damn, I’m good,” Kelly said as we all looked into the mirror together. I had to admit, she was good. I

never thought I could look like

that.

“Well, time to go girls. Gillian just told me everyone is waiting for us.” She grabbed us by the hand and

pulled us towards the staircase.

“Wait!” Maya said, “I don’t have my shoes. You go ahead, I’ll catch up.”

We headed down the stairs and out the back door. Past the back gardens was a platform that looked

down onto a field that led to

the woods. It was currently littered with tables filled with food. I was to be introduced and then we would

have dinner with the Pack

before the run. Kelly led me towards the platform where I could see Markus’ back to us. He turned to

look at me, hearing our steps. His

mouth opened when his eyes locked on mine. I blushed as I felt his eyes roam my body. The dress

wasn’t very revealing, but I felt naked

under his gaze.

That’s probably because he’s undressing us with his eyes –

Kara smirked.

“You’re so beautiful.”

“You’re looking very handsome yourself. That suit matches your eyes perfectly,” I said, noticing how his

Armani grey suit enhanced the color in his eyes. You could tell it was perfectly tailored to his body.

“Where is Maya? I am introducing her first.”

“Alpha! I’m here!” I heard Maya breathless as she reached us. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“Stay here. I will call you up,” Markus said to both of us. The moon was starting to peek out.

“Welcome to the monthly full moon gathering. As is the custom, we will be having dinner momentarily,

however I have a couple of announcements first. I would like to introduce you to two new members of

the pack. The first is Maya. She joined us about a month ago. Some of you may have seen her around

the Packhouse as she has been a guest there until she acclimates into our pack. Please help me

welcome Maya to the Crescent Moon Pack!” He said and motioned for Maya to come forward. I

squeezed her hand in encouragement as !

nudged her forward to the edge of the platform. There was a lot of clapping and welcomes when I

suddenly felt Maya stiffen. I saw her

mouth move and then I heard a growl as someone jumped up to the platform and growled, “Mine.”

Igasped as I realized it was Danny that was standing in front of her.
