Tara’ POV
I wake up to the obnoxious sound of Killian’s alarm echoing in my eardrums. It feels like the minutes just crawl by until he turns it off. I feel him get out of the bed and I peek my eyes open to see that it’s still dark outside. I hear the shower start so I pull the covers over my head and try to go back to sleep. I’m not sure how much time passed but the next thing I know Killian is waking me up and sunlight is pouring in through the windows.
“Baby, come on. It’s 8 o’clock. We have a lot to do to be ready for your Luna ceremony tomorrow.” he says gently as he rubs my leg.
“Ughhh. I know. I’m getting up.” I respond. I had suggested we do my Luna ceremony on Saturday to make it official because I knew Friday night I would be mating and marking Killian.
Well, now it’s Friday so it’s about finishing arrangements for Saturday and then prepping myself for my covert plans this evening. I had spent the last few days getting more comfortable with the hot and heavy situations with Killian. I think I’m ready for tonight. I walk into the shower and then get dressed to get the day started. As I exit the closet, I hear Killian talking and then his mother’s voice. I round the corner to see her sitting with a white garment bag in her lap. They both offer wide, warm smiles.
“Good morning, dear!” Elora says cheerfully. I’m still not used to having a mother figure in my life that actually cares about me. I smile at her and walk to sit beside her and Killian.
“Good morning! I really wasn’t feeling like getting out of bed today but I made it.” I say and we all laugh a little.
“Is that my Luna dress?” I ask pointing to the garment bag feeling excited. She flashes a big smile and nods quickly.
“Alright. It’s time for you to go.” I say standing up and pulling on Killian’s arm. He doesn’t budge. I huff and put my hands on my hips causing him to laugh at me.
“Alright, I’ll go. I love you.” He says standing in front of me holding my face in his hands.
“I love you too.” I say as I lean up to kiss him goodbye and then hurriedly turn him around and push him out the bedroom door. Elora is laughing as I make my way back to her.
“Okay! Let’s try it on!” I squeal with excitement. We walk into the closet so she can hang it up and when she unzips the garment bag, my jaw hits the floor.
Inside is the most beautiful floor length deep purple dress. It was adorned with a lavender pattern cutout across the bust and a satin silver belt across the waist. I carefully pull the dress on and it was like it was made for me. It is a strapless mermaid style gown that hugged me just right from my chest to about mid thigh and then flared out at the bottom. I looked in the mirror and my eyes filled with tears.
“Oh no. What’s wrong, dear? You don’t like it?” Elora says in a panic. I let out a small laugh and shake my head.
“I love it. I’m just overwhelmed. I went from one Alpha’s slave to another Alpha’s Luna in a week.” I say honestly, wiping the tears from my face. She wraps her arms around me and squeezes me tight.
“We love you, Tara. All of us. Now… let’s try on these shoes.” she says with a bright smile. She pulls out a beautiful pair of open toed sandals with a small heel. They are silver with rhinestones embedded in the straps. I try them on with the dress and stand in front of the 3 paneled mirror. My reflection catches my breath and for the first time in a long time, I feel beautiful.
“We should get you some jewelry to accent all this beauty.” Elora says with a smile and I’m reminded by the extra spoiling Killian did last weekend.
“Actually, Killian bought me a diamond set and a pearl set. They’re in those Pandora boxes on top of the dresser.” I say pointing to the dresser on my side of the closet. Elora walks over and opens both boxes to get a good look before ultimately deciding on the pearl set.
“Pearls are elegant and beautiful which is how you look in this outfit. These will be perfect.” she says as she holds the earrings up to my ears. I just nod in excitement.
“Alright, dear. I have to get downstairs to finish food preparations and decor so let’s get you out of that dress.” she says as she clasps her hands together. She helps me out of the dress and I run to use the bathroom. When I come out, she’s zipping up the garment bag and getting ready to leave.
“Killian said you had some things I needed to help finish up. What can I do?” I ask her wanting to be helpful.
“Oh dear, don’t be silly. I have everything handled. The dress was all I needed your help with. Renny and DeeDee will be up shortly to practice hair and makeup looks with you though.” she says genuinely. I just smile and nod as she hugs me and leaves the room. No sooner does she leave and the girls come strolling in. I’m greeted with giddy stomps and bright smiles from Serenity as Deidre just rolls her eyes and laughs.
“I’m so excited to play with these curls!” she squeals in excitement as she plays with my hair and I laugh out loud.
“Come on. Elora got the vanity all set up for us.” I say as I close the bedroom door and gesture towards the bathroom. Serenity skips the whole way as Deidre and I follow shaking our heads.
I sit down on the vanity stool and pull up my Pinterest board with several ideas for what I’d like her to do with my hair. As I’m scrolling, she sees one and snatches my phone.
“This one right here. Can we do this one? Pleaseeee!” she pleads. I look at the one she chose and it’s actually one of my favorites. This style will have my long red curls in a high ponytail and two braids starting from the front of my head and wrapping around the base of the ponytail. I nod with a big smile and she begins.
After about 25 minutes she’s done. She’s tweaked the hairstyle to add some bits she likes. She straightened two chunks of hair framing my face and plastered it down to my head. Instead of 2 braids wrapping around the base of the ponytail she added the braids to the ponytail and put a beautiful floral piece of jewelry over the base. It was so much better than the original style and I loved it. Next was the makeup and that’s where Deidre comes in. I asked for full glam with bronze or silver shades verses purple shades so my makeup didn’t clash with my dress. She did a smokey eye with charcoal colored eyeshadow and a shimmery silver one as well. My lips were lined and colored with red lipstick. I was beautiful and when I looked in the mirror I didn’t recognize myself.
“What do you think?” they asked with anticipation as I stared at myself in the mirror silently.
“You made me beautiful.” I whispered.
“I love it.” I said confidently with a broad smile.
“You were already beautiful, Tara. Make up just accentuates what is already there.” Deidre says as she puts all of the products away.
“Unfortunately, we can’t leave you all done up right now because we can’t have that dingus of a brother of ours seeing how hot you’ll be tomorrow.” she says with a wink and I laugh out loud. I hear my phone vibrate on the counter and pick it up. It’s a text from Killian.
“Lunch in 20?”
“I’m not sure how long it will take to get all this makeup off of me and my hair down but I do want to get lunch with you.”
“Okay babe. Let me know when you’re done and we’ll go.”
I put my phone down and turn the sink on to wash my face.
“What are you doing?” they ask at the same time and I can tell they’re confused.
“Oh that was Killian and he wants to go out for lunch in 20 minutes so I’m trying to get this all off so he doesn’t see it.” I respond.
“Let us help you. We bought you remover balm and wipes for this job.” Deidre says. She grabs a small container from my make-up area and begins rubbing this weird feeling substance all over my face. It started solid but is melting as she rubs my face. She has me rinse my face off with warm water and then uses a make-up removing towel to dry my face and make sure nothing is missed. Serenity gets my hair down and looking normal in about 2 minutes flat and I’m shook by how long that took. Like maybe 10 minutes have gone by. They have to teach me their secrets. I grab my phone to text Killian.
“Your sisters are magicians. I’m done. You ready?”
“LOL yes babe. Meet me in the foyer.”
I shove my phone down in my pocket before addressing Serenity and Deidre again.
“Alright ladies. It’s time for me to go.” I say and they walk with me down to the foyer with no objection. Usually they whine but they didn’t this time. Interesting.
I am sitting on the bench in the foyer waiting for Killian and suddenly his scent hits me. I look up and there he is in all his glory. I didn’t think it was possible to find someone so attractive but this man was all muscle, covered in tattoos, piercing blue eyes, long hair on the top with the sides and back shaved down, and he just looked so delicious.
“You ready?” he says as I gawk and I nod with a broad smile on my face. We walk out front and there’s that beautiful GTR I love so much. He walks over to hold the door open and I get in. I’m so excited for this date. It makes me even more excited for tonight. My whole life is going to drastically change. Well, it has already changed but tonight will be different. I look over at him as he drives knowing he’s completely unaware of what will happen and smile.
“What are you smiling about over there?” he says smiling and squeezing my hand.
“Nothing. I just love you.” I respond with a smile and squeeze his hand in return.
I wake up to the obnoxious sound of Killian’s alarm echoing in my eardrums. It feels like the minutes just crawl by until he turns it off. I feel him get out of the bed and I peek my eyes open to see that it’s still dark outside. I hear the shower start so I pull the covers over my head and try to go back to sleep.
