I felt a tear slide down my cheek and he growled and ripped himself from me.
“See I made you cry again!”
I laughed lightly and and wrapped my arms around him giving him a backwards hug. I pressed a kiss to his neck.
‘Shadow you do make me happy. Your my mate. My other half the one who completes me. No matter what happens
between us you will always be my one and only love. Nothing you do will ever change that.” I whispered.
“Promise” He whispered turning. I giggled and nodded.
“So this means you’ll go on a date with me tommorw?” he asked with a bright smile.
I laughed and nodded causing him to smile wildly.
**
I was totally freaking out.
I had no idea what to wear. I had no freaking idea what to wear for this date and i felt like I was going to scream any
second.
I was the girl who knew how to take a gun apart and put it back together in under 10 seconds. I knew how to kill a man
with my eyes closed.
Yet here I was sitting on my bed clothes thrown everywhere.
I jumped startled as the door was suddenly thrown open. Valentina and Seven walked in with two large bags.
‘Alright we have four hours but I think we can do it‘ Valentina said seriously,
I gulped suddenly frightened. Seven nodded and racked her eyes over me as if I was cattle ready to be sold.
I screamed as Seven Junged for me.
‘Oh be quiet you big baby” Valentina snapped pulling me into the bathroom.
“Alright your going to shower and when you come out your going to be good girl and do as we say
I had no room to protest as she flipped the shower on and walked out the room.
“Ten minutes!” Seven yelled thought the door making me jump. Quickly I stripped my clothes and got into the shower
washing quickly.
I used my favorite strawberry shampoo and conditioned. I turned the water off and quickly stepped out knowing Seven

and Valentina would have no problem dragging me out naked and wouldn’t be bothered like I would.
Just as I wrapped my towel around me the door flew open.
“Alright good now sit down and be quiet” Valentina commanded.
“Yes ma’m‘ I mummbled.
She pinched me sharply with a mean look and grabbed her bags.
For the next few hours I was plucked, prodded, painted, combed, and smothered.
‘Put these on Seven ordered flinging a pair of lacy thongs. I blushed and caught the matching bra.
I pulled them on quickly as the discussed which dress would look better. “I don’t know these one will highlight her curves but these one will show off the twins” Seven sighed glancing at my breasts.
I crossed my arms and huffed.
“Mmmm I think the first one will tease him more” Valentina deiced.
Minutes later I found my self being shoved into a tight black dress that I admit felt pretty good on me. I glanced at my
tattoo’s self consciously.
They didn’t seem to bother Shadow but would he be embarrassed if his important friends saw me. I wasn’t like the posh sophisticated girls who looked like barbies. I had scars and ink. I wasn’t pretty in that kind of way.
“I think I might cry‘ Seven sniffed holding a hand to her mouth. Valentina nodded. “Look at her! I must say we did a
awesome job‘
I rolled my eyes at them and turned to the mirror only to gasp in shock.
The girl in the mirror didn’t look like me. She had glowing tan skin and full pink lips. Her hair was curled loosely in silky black lock her eyes shinning. Her eyes were done up in a smoky look that fit her outfit perfect.
A strapless black dress fit to her every curve showing off her toned legs. Strappy purple heels were strapped to her feet
her newly painted toes shining.
‘Girl you look hot and if I wasn’t mated and straight I’d so do you‘ Seven smirked throwing her self on the bed.
I laughed at her and shook my head.
“Alright time to go babe your mate is waiting for you.” Valentina grinned shoving a purple clutch bag in my hand.
I laughed and thanked them both, which they waved off. “We had fun plus I needed girl time‘ Seven smiled.
“Yeah I wonder how the guys are doing with Andrew‘ Valentina smirked.

Suddenly Seven looked worried. “I better go check on them no telling what they’ve done to my baby”
I chuckled as Seven rushed out slightly panicked.
“Go on you’ve kept the guy waiting long enough Valentina smirked pushing me out the room. I gave her a weak smile
and walked forward suddenly nervous.
I bite my lip nervously as i walked down the stairs suddenly very aware how high the heels i was wearing.
A sharp in take of breath caused me too look up. I gasped at the sight of my mate my breath taken. His dark hair was
styled messy around his face making his eyes glow. He wore a suit that made his body look even more mouth watering
then before.
I felt as if i was melting into a puddle at the sight of him. Was that really all mine?
“Wow…..I—you look incredible” Shadow breathed breaking me out of my trance. I blushed and looked down continuing my
trip down the stairs.
Once I reached the landing he grabbed my hand and kissed it tenderly.
“You take my breath away my love” He whispered pulling me closer.
I smiled and suddenly felt like giggling like a little girl.
Shadow smiled at me and lightly touched my cheek with his hand. “Come on love”
I smiled as he lead me out the house and to his car. Before he shut my door he grabbed something out the back of his
pocket and folded it over my eyes.
