Chapter 27: 27. Cinderella Had One Prince. Apparently, I Ought To Be Greedier.

Maisie

"Rise and shine, princess!"

I opened my eyes to Jenny’s face approximately four inches from mine and immediately closed them again.

"No," I groaned, but sat up abruptly when my door slammed against the wall harshly, Regina appearing in the doorway with two women I’d never seen before in my life. "What the hell is going on?" I glanced at the alarm by my bed with wide eyes. "It’s 7pm in the evening–what is that?"

Regina had a garment bag pressed against her chest, wrinkling her beautiful, floor length pink dress with dazzling shimmers and a low cut neckline. Her hair was styled in elegant waves and her face was beat beautifully. Jenny’s dress was shorter, but just as extravagant. A strapless gown that cinched her waist and flared at her hip, halting just above her knee.

I suddenly remembered the ball. I could hear the music all the way here at the servants’ quarters.

I was staring at the cases the women were setting up by my bed and I scrambled off the mattress as I noticed the hair and makeup equipment. "Regina... Jenny... Hell no."

Jenny was grinning and grabbing my wrist. "Hell yeah. Call us your fairygodmothers for tonight because you aren’t just attending that ball, you’re going to fucking kill it!"

I felt like I had wool stuffed in my brain for the first five seconds as I glanced from Regina’s to Jenny’s face. To the garment bag, the shoes I hadn’t noticed and the jewelery.

I shook my head. "No. I can’t attend. Luna Kaida specifically ordered me not to leave my room tonight."

After my ’accident’ earlier, Luna Kaida had found me in the kitchens and with a scowl, ordered that I was not to be found anywhere around the engagement ball. They didn’t want my bad luck ruining the event, considering it always seemed to follow me around.

I was grateful, because it meant I was confined to my rooms and didn’t have to pretend that my wolf wasn’t hurting inside.

Regina held up a black intricate mask. "It’s a masked event, Maisie. She won’t even know it’s you."

"Lana and Cole will, and even if no one does, I don’t want to be there."

"Well, fuck Lana. And double fucks to Cole," Jenny quipped and shoved me into the bathroom.

Regina clung to the door frame and dunked a towel at my head that I clumsily caught. Her eyes pleaded with me, like she knew I had begun to panic and was on the verge of belting out a ’NO’. "I need you to trust me, May. After today, I don’t think I can stand one more moment of abuse aimed at you. We are going to get you out of the pack. Let us try to help you."

My eyes watered.

Approximately thirty minutes later, I was being assaulted, pulled this way and that. My hair was being straightened and then curled, and then pulled tight across my scalp in a gorgeous bun, leaving out a few curls that showcase the natural blonde highlights in my hair to frame my face and tease the long length of my neck.
