Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle

While I was in the bathroom, I grabbed my cell phone from my purse and saw I had a missed text from Rebecca.

Rebecca: Good luck tonight! Remember to breathe. You got this!

I smiled through my tears at the thoughtfulness of my best friend. Rebecca wasn't a part of this pack, so she didn't come to the gathering. She actually worked as my father's assistant and often handled Stormwind pack affairs, which was how she met Elliot briefly that one time. Though she said he was so intimidating she could hardly look at his face.

I thought about texting her back and asking her to pick me up, but soon I would be transformed, and I couldn't let her seem like a monster.

Once the tears stopped flowing, I left the stall and went to the sink. I sighed when I saw that I was a mess. I spent time cleaning the makeup smears off my face; thankfully I brought some makeup with me in my handbag and was able to reapply it, so it no longer looked as if I had been crying.

Just as I finished with the last of my makeup, the bathroom door opened, and I froze when I saw Shirly nearing me with a smirk on her lips.

Shirly walked casually over to the mirror beside mine and took out some lipstick from her purse. As she applied it, I tried hard not to look at her as I finished cleaning up my mess.

"I'm not sure who you are trying to fool," Shirly said, glancing at me through the mirror. "You can put on a fancy dress and wear a little makeup, but you're still the same wolfless girl underneath the surface. It's pathetic that you are pretending to be someone you are not."
