Chapter 4

***Auri’s POV***

Maddie had woken me up around 10am pounding on my door. Our parents had already left and wouldn’t be back for the rest of the day. We would meet them at the ball since they were the hosts. Ty would have to take us in his car later in the evening. She was bounding around the house as I got a brunch ready for us and she ferried me, with brunch, up to her room.

“Auri, do you want me to do your make-up? I won’t do a lot, but at least a little eye shadow?”

I chuckled. “To what Maddie? Bring out the grey in my eyes?”

She scoffed. “I mean, I could match it with Kai’s eyes. Are you going in blind to the ball?”

I nodded and looked out the window, Kai giving me her vision. I first was assaulted by Maddie’s choice of pink and white stripped wallpaper and ridiculous amount of red heart pillows, but I settled my vision on the forest outside. The lush green soothing my eyes. Usually, I went blind just about anywhere unless I was unfamiliar with the surroundings. This was different. I didn’t want to hid behind her eyes. If my mate was gonna reject me, they were gonna see all of me.

“Well, I think I can still make something happen. Cause sometimes if you look in your eyes long enough, if feels like you could see a galaxy in there.”

“Maddie, the romantic in you is admirable. But you focus on you. How’s the dress? Did Father let you get ‘the one’?”

She huffed and put her hands on her hips. “No! Daddy was such a hard-ass when he saw it. ‘No daughter of mine will be walking around like a skank’. And mom couldn’t fight him. So I had to settle for this one.”

I did laugh at her impression of our father. She had picked out a very skin tight red dress that did look absolutely gorgeous on her. But it also made her look like she was twenty-one and would have brought all the boys to the yard. Maddie wasn’t curvy by any means, but she was definitely more developed than your average fifteen year old. Hell, even your average seventeen year old.

The dress she did settle on, the one she was pulling out, was a midnight blue. It did hug her but it flared out into a typical ballgown. The sticker price on the dress had been astronomical and I knew the last three months I had worked went to that dress. But I felt better that it didn’t go to another designer purse for Melissa. It was Maddie’s first Gathering and she should have something special.

“You know, maybe the Alpha from the Harvest Moon pack is coming. Maybe I’ll be his Luna. He’s been waiting for me this whole time.” She twirled, holding the dress up to her.

Maddie had braided it to the right side and put little pins of peals. It was to be swept in front of my right shoulder. I hopped down to my closet and took out my dress.
