The Pack's Doctor novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83: Getting Ready.

Yara.

Tonight, I'll take my place as Luna of this pack. It's an important moment for me and for this pack. I've accepted Warren, this pack, and my role in it. This is my future, a future I never truly expected to have, but I can't wait for each day to begin so I can live it.

Archie had gotten my things from the university when Warren sent him to erase my presence there. Thankfully, he'd put all my school records back, but now I have my clothes from when I was in Alpha Solomon's pack. I don't have a lot of dressy clothes, but Alpha Solomon insisted that I have a couple of nice dresses for important dinners, pack events, and graduations.

As I stand in my closet, I remember the man who raised me, who looked after me, and who ultimately died because he protected me from his son. There was one dress, in particular, that I'd only worn once. Alpha Solomon had chosen it for me. He said it made me look mature, yet elegant, and still feminine. It's a color that is close enough to the color of my eyes that it makes my eyes stand out. It has a crochet lace overlay on the bodice with a halter neckline, which means no bra. I smile thinking of Warren's reaction to that when he takes it off of me later. The long skirt has a chiffon overlay that falls from a fitted, banded waist. The dress also has a sexy slit that made me self-conscious before, but now, I can't wait to see Warren's reaction to it. It makes me wonder if Alpha Solomon thought I'd one day need a dress like this for a Luna ceremony. Even if it didn't feel like the perfect dress for today, which it does, I'd wear it for Alpha Solomon. I wish he was here to see me take my place as a Luna. I know he'd be proud of me.

There's a knock at the door and I call for the person to enter. Anna and Piper come in and gasp when they see me.

"Oh, Luna. Alpha is going to swallow his tongue when he sees you,"

Piper says.

"I bet he's stunned into silence, and how often does that happen?" Anna agrees.

"Never," the three of us laugh.

"You think he'll like it?" I ask.

"He'll love it. You look so beautiful Luna, it almost makes me want to cry," Piper says. Her voice is still soft as she continues to heal, and she'll always have silvery scars on her throat where Simon tried to rip her throat out, but those scars only reinforce how strong she is. Of course, she also has a silvery mate mark that shines brighter than the scars on her neck.

"What's this I see?" I ask her, walking over.

"Geez, you even glide in that dress," Anna says, her eyes going wide.

I smile at her but focus on Piper.

"Travis and I made it official last night," she smiles.

"Oh, Piper. I'm so happy for you," I say, hugging her carefully so I don't crush my dress.

"Thank you, Luna. It feels really good to have someone like him as my mate. I feel so lucky to have found him."

"So, what can I do for the two of you?" I ask.

"Well, first, we're here to help you," Piper says.

"Help me what?"

"Get ready, of course. We're multi-talented, Luna. We wanted to help you with your hair and make-up," Piper says.

"Yes, but also, Gamma Laney doesn't have a dress and we were hoping you might have an extra one for her?" Anna asks.

"Do you think she and I are the same size?" I ask, turning back to my closet.

"Erica is helping her and she'll find a way to make it work. Gamma Laney didn't say it, but I think she was feeling bad about not having anything to wear other than warrior clothes."

"What about Beta Noelle?" I ask. She's small like me, so I know my dresses would fit her.

"Gamma Laney made sure her sister had a dress for important events, so she has one. But our Gamma didn't spend money on those sorts of things for herself," Anna says.

"Of course she didn't. I'm sure Noelle always came first for her," I say, pulling out another dress, this one close to knee-length on me but it would probably come mid-thigh on Laney.

"The blue won't match her eyes, but it will go well with her blond hair,"

I say.
