Recap:
"Wait people? dinner? tonight? since when?"
"Oh she asked me on Wednesday, but then I heard about this bake sale and I had work and it completely slipped my mind, sorry. We are supposed to be there at 7pm so we will be leaving at 6:30, now go upstairs do your homework, have a shower and please put some effort into your appearance for tonight." She said, sounding exasperated.
I let out a huge groan before stomping up to my room.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Luckily I didn't have any homework this weekend, thank the moon goddess, so instead I spent the next few hours texting my friends before I realised it was already 5:30pm.
"Shit! Mom will kill me if I'm not ready." I say to myself, before running into the bathroom to have a shower.
Mom came in about an hour ago and told me they know that we are shifters, as she had to ask permission to stay on their land, because she just so happens to be working with, you know, the pack's Luna, no biggie! She said she explained our situation about how we are running away from an abusive alpha (obviously leaving out certain parts about him being her mate and our sperm donor and me being magical and other unimportant stuff), which lead to the Luna offering her a job at her store, and which means I am allowed to let down my guard that disguises our scent which im normally only allowed to do at home, and damn it feel great! It only takes a little bit of energy to cast the spell but since its going almost all day it takes a lot out of a girl (hence the whole eating heaps of food thing), and without it in place I feel kinda bare but also almost.... normal! Well as normal as a magically talented shifter can be anyway. Hahaha.
30 minutes later I finally emerge from the bathroom and walk back into my room.
And now to decide what to wear, oh the joys!
I spent the next 10 minutes digging through my clothes before I realised I have nothing that mom would consider suitable to wear tonight.
Sigh.
I could always magic up something to wear, but I wouldn't even know where to start! Oh well I guess I'll just have to ask mum to find me something to wear, her clothes fit me and she had always been better at this girly stuff than I have.
I put on the one girly thing I own, my pink, fluffy dressing gown, before going to find mom and admitting defeat.
***********************************************************
After searching through the house I find her in her bedroom, already dressed and looking fabulous as usual.
"Hey mom."
"Hey sweetie. Why aren't you dressed yet? We are leaving in 15 minutes." She said with a slight frown as she was putting her earrings of choice in.
I scratched my head out of nervousness, "Uhh... well... I couldn't find anything to wear and I was.... ahh.. wondering if you could, maybe.. help me find something to wear?"
Her whole face lit up and she started jumping up and down, yes you heard correctly she was jumping up and down, with excitement, "Of course I will help you!! There are so many things I have wanted to try with that gorgeous hair of yours for years. OH! And I have the perfect outfit for you!" With that said, she jumped into action.
First plugging in her curler, before digging through her cupboard looking for only goddesss knows what.
I stand there in awful anticpation for whatever fashion creation she will whip up for me.
All of a sudden she throws a piece of black material at my face, and as I hold it up to take a look, what I'm sure is a look of pure horror flashes across my face.
The thing I am currently holding in front of me could barely even cover my thighs let alone my ass, although I have to admit aside from that it is pretty nice. It is one shouldered, and the material is pleated at all different angles, giving it a really unique look.
(A/N - The dress is the one shown on the side! Also I have a picture of the shoes she wears with it :) Conveniently enough when I was looking for dresses for her to wear, when I found the one I liked the most, it just so happened that the girl modeling it is very similar to how I picture Mya! I have been searching the internet so much trying to find someone who looks similar to who I had imagined for Mya and the girl in the photo is an (almost) perfect fit!)
Although before I can even contemplate throwing it on the floor, mom throws a pair of deadly looking heels in my general direction. Luckily I have good reflexes or else one of those things could have stabbed my eye out!
"Mom! Next time watch where you throw the stilettos! You almost got me in the eye!"
"Oops! Sorry honey, I'm just so excited! You haven't let me dress you up since you learned to talk, which let me tell you, was a long time ago!"
"I'm not even that old! I'm only 17 geez!"
"Almost 17." Mom corrected.
"Yeah yeah whatever." I muttered to myself.
"Okay now lie those out on my bed so I can get started on your hair and makeup!" Sounding positively giddy at the thought.
Uck makeup! I don't understand how people wear it all day. Not only does it look horrible, and make your face feel like you have itchy face-paint on you face, but it smells horrible, expecially to my sensitive nose.
"Do I have to wear make up?!" I whine.
"Yes! Don't worry I won't put much on!" She said with a smile before ushering me over to her dresser.
*************************************************************
Since she wouldn't let me look in the mirror, I had to sit there while she abused my hair and face, tilting my head this way and that, and closing my eyes, and enduring what seemed like and endless torture but what was really not even 10 minutes.
"Okay all done." She said with a smile on her face. "Now change into the dress and heels while I find some jewellery to go with it."
So I picked up the dress and shoes and turned to go into the bathroom.
"Uh uh uh. You will get changed here, I don't want you getting any sneak peaks until your finished."
Damn. There goes that plan.
Luckily the dress had a zip so I was able to pull it up over my hips and didn't have to worry about messing up my hair or makeup.
Although as soon as I put the shoes on I was wobbling all over the place and ended up falling on my ass.
"Oww! Mom do I have to wear these death traps? I will just make a idiot out of myself all night."
"Yes, you do have to wear them, just use the wall as balance and walk around my room a bit. You'll get the hang of it."
I groaned, loudly, and mom just rolled her eyes at me before turning back to her jewellery.
I had walked around the room a couple of times and was finally getting the hang of these things when mom yelled out, "Found them!" Scaring the absolute bageezers out of me and making me fall over again.
"Mom!"
"Oh sorry! Here." She extended her hand and helped me up, before handing me a pair of ginormous hoop earrings and a bracelet to match. "Put those on and you can have a look at youself in the mirror." And with a self-satisfied smile she went and sat on the bed.
I finally walk over to her closet and open the door that has the mirror on the inside.
For a moment I just stand there in.. what, shock? awe? amazement?
I hardly recognise myself, yet its still me.
Mom has really outdone herself this time.
My dark hair was lightly curled, so it looked almost natural, and she has hardly used any makeup, just how I wanted it. The small amount of dark eyeliner and eyeshadow makes my eyes really pop, and the nude colour lipstick coated with lipgloss made my lips look amazing, heck I would totally kiss me.... if that were at all possible!
The dress hugged my body in all the right places, showing off my curves, and the dress was deceptively small at first sight because it definitely not as slutty as I first thought it was. I reached just above mid-thigh, and paired with the heels, made my legs look miles long.
Damn I look good.
"Yes you do sweetie." mom said
Wait, did I say that out-loud? Oops.
She chuckled, "Yes you did, and you look absolutely gorgeous honey."
"Thanks mom." I say honestly, turning around giving her a huge hug.
"It was my pleasure. If you need help with anything you know you can come to me right?"
"Of course I do. Thanks mom. I love you."
"I love you too." She replied. And we just stood there hugging each other, until the big oaf had to come in and ruin the moment.
"Hey mom, its 6:30 we should probably get going.... where's my hug? I want a hug too!" He whined, so mom let go of me and went to give him a hug, although just as he went to pull away she grabbed his face and planted a big, fat kiss on his cheek with her bright red lipstick.
"Ugh, Mom!! Really? Was that completely necessary?" Grabbing some tissues from her dresser to try and wipe it off but only succeeding in making it worse.
By then I was in hysterics, trying not to cry with laughter so I didn't ruin my makeup.
"Oh shut up Mya." He grumbled before mom too calmed down enough to grab one of her makeup wipes and get the lipstick off his face.
"Sorry honey, I couldn't resist!" Obviously still trying to fight off a smile.
"Yeah whatever, lets just go already." he mumbled before walking out the door, with us not too far behind.
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Exactly 25 minutes later we pulled up in front of mom friends place. Although as soon as I got out of the car I couldn't help but notice, you know, HOW FRICKIN HUGE IT WAS!
I mean mom works at this sweet shop in town that make all these amazing cakes, cupcakes, cookies, pastries, you name it, they have it. And not to mention it is what mom loves to do, but even if the lady she worked with owned the place, there is no way she could own this place.
I can't even begin to describe it, and I'm pretty sure my mouth, along with Jared's, was just about hitting the ground as we slowly made our way to the front door.
Before I even realised what was happening, mom had knocked on the door, only to be answered by the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen, apart from my mom of course. But seriously! This woman, even though you could tell she is a bit older, could be a supermodel. I personally don't swing that way, not that I have any problem with anyone that does, it's just you would have to be blind not to notice how gorgeous she was.
As she ushered us into the house, my first instinct was to look over at Jared to see what his reaction was to the woman, and who, as I suspected, had his eyes almost popping out of his head and his jaw somehow managed to drop even further.
I couldn't help but let out a laugh.
"... and Lauren, these are my kids, Jared and Mya."
She gave Jared a hug and then me, "Its so great to finally meet you guys! I have heard so much about you from your mom, all good of course! I am so sorry about what you have to go through, but hopefully you will stay here for a while because I really don't know what I would do without your mom! I have 2 kids around your age Mya. Follow me into the living room and we can get everyone introduced!"
Wow she is so... happy. It kind of reminds me of Raven.
Noah POV
Ugh! Why can't this night just be over with already?
Mom and dad told us that a new shifter family who have just moved onto our lands will be coming over for a 'welcoming dinner' as mom called it.
I heard them pull up outside, as I sat with dad and Raven in the living room.
"Omg I'm so excited to meet them! I wonder what they will be like? I'm sure they will be so nice! And didn't you say she had a daughter? Maybe I will make a new friend! I hope Mya will get along with her though, because otherwise we couldn't be friends. I know what you told us dad, but maybe they will consider staying here permanently, its always so nice to get new people around this place...."
I swear my sister never shuts up. I guess I have just learnt to tune her out, but it seems as though every time she opens her mouth its Mya this, Mya that. Mya. Mya. Mya! Why out of all the people in this town did she have to go and make friends with my sister? Goddess! Its hard enough staying away from her at school, but now I constantly have to hear her name every time I am at home too?
I can hear them wrap up their hello's, and start making their way through the house. Raven obviously does as well, and finally shuts her mouth only to start bouncing up and down on the couch like and over-excited puppy.
All of a sudden I smell the most delicious scent ever, its like honey, the smell of the earth before a storm, and cinnamon all mixed together to give the most heady thing I have ever smelled. Except I have smelled it before, only now its slightly different, its mixed with the scent associated with wolves, No it can't be....
