My Alpha’s Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance by Moonlight Muse

81. Another Side

YILEYNA

I had barely slept all night. The morning came, and two omegas were awaiting to take my measurements for a gown. “Colour, miss?” Odessa asked. 1

“Neckline, miss?” Leonora added.

“Let me see what there is, and then give me the options on which can be most easily adjusted on such short notice.” I said, looking over at Charlene, who was looking through the gowns.

I hadn’t gotten to talk to her about what Theon had told me.

“Yileyna, I think you should wear silver.” Charlene added suddenly. I nodded and the two women rushed to bring every silver gown they had brought with them. “As commanded, we went to every designer in the city and asked for their best.” Odessa stated.

When I had been asked this morning, all I had said was to not exclude fae designers.

“These all can be adjusted to your size madam.” Leonora added.

I looked at the gowns, although all my mind could focus on was how I would approach the topic with the king. I was lucky enough that he himself wanted a word before the ball in the evening

“These two… One for me one for Charlene. Charlene choose first.” I stated.

“They are meant for you, you’re the one to who this night belongs to. I will go for this satin gown.” Charlene said, shaking her head as she held up a pink gown.

“Since when have we ever thought so hard? I was all dolled up on your night, Charlene.” I reminded her.

“A night I didn’t want.” She whispered. “And this is a night I want? These two.” I said firmly, making Charlene sigh and smile in defeat, giving me a nod.

“I haven’t worn anything from Fae designers… are you sure it’s ok?” She asked hesitantly.

“Yes, the princess is correct… Perhaps designs from our own people for a special ball.”

He sighed in frustration and turned toward me. “As you know, tonight I am announcing you as my heir, There are alphas invited and many more, with Charlene being born and raised as an alpha’s daughter she knew what to expect. She has training you do not. Stay close and avoid conversation with anyone.” “Why?” I asked.
