The Alpha's Reject

Chapter 4

I held my breath at the sight of the deep wine red gown. I was scared to even touch it, let alone wear it.

"You will not say no and that's final." Farley put her fists on her hips.

"This is your dress Farley. Your special dress. I can't wear this." I said in a firm tone. My friend just rolled her eyes, brushing my words away.

"Ive already made up my mind. If anyone deserves to wear this dress it's you."

I was still in shock at the sheer elegance of the gown. The fabric was made of fine red silk, having just a slight cut up at the neckline. The bottom half of the dress billowed out like a true ball gown. It was modest, but still showed skin.

All it took was one glance to know the dress was one of Denzel Mariotto's original works. He was renowned for his dress making skills in practically every country.

I was still trying to figure out how Alpha Rayne had convinced him to design one for every female in the Silverbite pack. For everyone except me that is, as I had specifically asked to be left out.

Yet here I was, half undressed in my best friend's room looking quite ridiculous.

"I don't know if I can do this." I was trying my best not to hyperventilate.

"Relax girl. You will absolutely kill it tonight." Farley chuckled.

I wanted to laugh right along with her, but this whole situation was far from being funny. I held the dress out, putting in one leg at a time.

Farley helped me pull it up, zipping it up in the back.

She stepped away, letting me take it all in from the mirror.

We look hot. Period.. Tatia voice dripped in glee.

"I guess we do, but that doesn't make me feel any better." I mumble.

I heard sniffles coming from behind me. I turned to see Farley gawking at me all misty-eyed.

"Brielle..you look.." she shook her head slowly.

"Tired? Please don't say tired..I know I look like I haven't slept in days."

"Beautiful." She said, pulling me into a constricting hug. I stood still for a moment, before wrapping my arms around her.

"You can't forget your sash." She pulled out a box containing the silver sash my mother wore the night she met dad. Each pack had an assigned color sash to wear at the crescent ball. It was a silly, but practical tradition.

I carefully pulled the silver sash from the box with care. I stepped back as Farley took it from me, draping it around my bare shoulders.

"Almost perfect." She smiled softly, wiping at her eyes again.

The door to the bedroom creaked open, and Eden and Josephine strode in. Each girl looked breathtaking. My sister wore an emerald gown, with a slit running all the way up her toned leg.

Josephine's dress was a deep navy blue color, and it was strapless showing off her caramel skin.

"Wow." We all three said about each other.

Eden beamed like it was her wedding day.

"I don't want to say much, because I don't want you changing your mind Bri..but you look absolutely stunning." Eden said.

Josephine ran over to the mirror, twirling in her designer dress. As much as she sometimes annoyed me, I was still happy to see her this way.

"I'm so glad we can all go together." Eden sighed, but her expression changed when she looked at Farley. I still didn't know what she had planned on doing tonight. As if she heard my thoughts, my friend patted me on the back.

"Don't worry about me. Rudolf has some special things planned for just us tonight." She said winking. I blushed at her implications.

A knock pounded on the door, making me jump six feet in the air. Before any of us could invite whoever it was in, Katherine bounded in.

"Who's ready for makeup?" She squealed.
Her curly auburn hair was pulled up into a bun, complementing her black sparkly gown.

Me and Josie shared a knowing look, before Eden offered to go first.

Katherine forced us all to sit in her special cosmetic chair, one by one, until our makeup was finished.

The gifted Katherine really could work miracles with her makeup brush. I looked in the mirror to admire her handiwork. She had decided I'd look best with a light smoky eye, and red lip gloss. It wasn't too much or too little. It was just right.
* * * * * *

I sat in the dark limo, clutching Eden's hand tightly. The girls sat on one side, the boys on the other. Nik, Jackson, and Alpha Rayne all wore matching suits and silver sashes. I couldn't believe I was actually going through with this. What had I been thinking?

Relax..this is the night we've both dreamed of..Tatia yawned.

My heart thumped in my chest like a trapped rabbit. It was so loud, I was convinced that everyone had heard. We'd been driving for nearly thirty minutes, but it felt more like hours.

Every winding corner we turned, every street we passed, had my gut feeling more and more sick. I felt the contents of my stomach threaten to upheave. I put a hand on my burning forehead, getting concerned looks from everyone in the limo.

"You don't have to do this if you'd rather not." Alpha Rayne placed a calloused hand on my shoulder. I smiled at his kind gesture.

"I've made it this far despite my better judgement..might as well get it over with." I looked out the window to prevent almost throwing up again. Everyone pretended not to notice.

We continued on for a few long minutes before I felt the limo slowly rolling into a stop.

"We're here Alpha." The limo driver announced.

Those three words made me wish I was dead. If I could crawl into a hole and die I would. There's no turning back now.

"We've got this ladies." Katherine rubbed her hands together.

My door was opened, and I stepped out into the chilly night air. Music pulsed from inside the old converted theater building. I pulled my sweater tighter around my arms, walking in with the rest of my pack. ..What the hell was I getting myself into...
