Luckily, I’d already thought about this.
Now I just needed Harper to be so consumed by her mating ceremony preparations that she believed me.
“I lost weight for your mating ceremony.”
Harper frowned. “You’re practically skin and bones, love. Why are you still losing weight?!”
I opened my mouth to brush her off and tell her that I had stopped, but I was saved by one of the girls in the shop coming over and ushering us toward the makeup counter to decide on our look for the day-of.
After we finished at the dress shop and getting dresses and makeup decided on, the three of us went to the hotel for a final meeting with the mating ceremony coordinator. Since Harper wasn’t officially part of Damian’s pack until after they were mated, she hadn’t wanted to have their ceremony at his pack center. A hotel was neutral territory and it would make Harper feel more comfortable.
“Let me take you both out to dinner when I get off work.” Damian kissed Harper’s cheek as we exited the hotel.
“I’d love that, babe,” Harper replied, standing on her tiptoes to return his kiss.
