After I get out of the shower, I wrap a towel around my body and place a hair towel over my long violet. auburn hair. I walk into my walk–in closet to pick out an outfit for dinner.

I pick my favorite pantsuit–a jumpsuit with spaghetti straps and wide legs–and to top it off, it has a cardigan with lapels. I own this in three different colors, and I pick the light purple one for tonight’s dinner, finishing it off with sand–colored, four–and–a–half–inch high–heeled shoes with an ankle strap.

I place it on my bed before sitting down at my vanity table. I start by blow–drying my hair until most of the water is gone, then I pull my hair into a high ponytail before braiding it.

I dry off the remainder of the water from my body and apply lotion to my entire body before putting on a lace thong and bra in the same color as my pantsuit. Once I am done putting on my underwear, I sit back down at my vanity table.

I pick peach and brique as my eyeshadow colors and use black mascara. I choose a light peach–colored lip gloss.

I slip into my jumpsuit as I hear a knock on the door. “I am almost done, Dad. I will be right down,” I say as I put on my cardigan. I sit down to put on my shoes, and after closing the ankle straps, I get up to head down the stairs.

My phone starts buzzing as I reach the door, and I look down to see I have gotten a message from Pauline. I read through the information she has found. Fortune is getting agitated the more I read, and I decide to leave it for what it is–I will analyze it in the morning.

“Fortune, let’s concentrate on tonight first. They will ask questions, and I know Alpha Max will always do what he needs to do to get answers. I doubt his Sons are any different,” I tell her to make her calm down. We need to stay in control of our emotions, and once I am certain Fortune has calmed down enough, I walk out of my room.

Dad is waiting at the bottom of the stairs, and I see the surprise in his eyes when he looks at my hair, but instead of saying something, he just smiles at me.

We talk about my upcoming project; I have purchased a new boutique in the town of Albarr, and I have a lot to do when it comes to the inside of the boutique. Albarr is known for their wealthy inhabitants, and I know a boutique that carries my name will become a success, like every boutique I have bought in my career.

The first boutique I bought was one my Mother would drag me to, in hopes that I would suddenly start wearing dresses, but it only resulted in my love for fashion becoming bigger.

I talked to Dad about what I wanted to do, and when the funds from my inheritance came in, Dad helped me with purchasing the boutique. He supported me with my new endeavor. I changed the interior of the boutique, and I allowed Ariel, my Omega friend from our Pack, to sell her designs in the boutique–a way for her and her friends to have an extra income.

It was after I purchased my eighth boutique that I decided to do a little more research into the design that get to use my boutiques.

About three months after reopening the boutique, I received a message from a client from one of my other boutiques, and I found our that the female who used my boutique wasn’t the designer–she was forcing an Omega to hand it over to her.

She was forcing an Omega to design clothes and other Omegas to make the clothes before she would sell them in my boutique. She had been planning it for a long time, and when I reopened the boutique, she had more than enough clothing to put in my boutique, but I put a stop to her plans.

Ever since then, I do a major background check before I allow someone to sell their designs in my boutique, and it has improved the lives of those designers and their employees.

I have made a few changes for the use of my boutiques, and one of those changes is a contract every designer has to sign, but I never asked Ariel to sign one. I never asked her because she is the only one I know for sure designs the clothes herself. I have spent quite a few hours growing up with Ariel drawing in the kitchen of the Pack–house, and I loved every minute of it.

Between the ages of eight and thirteen, I spent a huge amount of time in the Pack–house, but that might be a story about my life I will tell another time.

Dad guides me up the steps to the Pack–house, and I feel the same excitement I felt as a child walking into the Pack–house–I doubt it will ever change. I can’t wait to see Luna Elyse again; I have only had contact with her over the phone the past few years, and I haven’t been home long enough to visit the Pack–house.

I follow Dad up the stairs to the Alpha floor, and I wonder what kind of questions I will need to answer–one of them I already know. Why did I hide the fact that I have a Lycan? I know I will tell them the truth, and I know Dad, Alpha Max, and Luna Elyse will understand why I didn’t tell anyone.

I open the door to the Alpha floor, and I smile when I see the drawing I made for Luna Elyse when I was ten -a drawing of her sitting behind a desk and Alpha Max standing behind her as both of them look down at a file they were working on. I remember looking over at the desk from the small table I used to draw at, and both of them were engrossed in reading a file. I started drawing it in seconds to give it to Luna Elyse on her birthday a few weeks later.

I step into the living room to hear a few gasps, and I get wrapped into two arms that feel so familiar. “Maleah, what are you doing here?” I hear Luna Elyse ask me as she squeezes me tight, and I chuckle as I wrap my arms around her and lift her off the floor. She squeals as I spin around once–I know she hates it when someone does that, as I remember her scolding Alpha Max for doing the same thing.

“Maleah, could you put my Mate down before she decides to kick your ass for a chance?” I hear Alpha Max from my left, and as I put Luna Elyse down, I look into her eyes, winking at her before I turn toward Alpha Max.

“I know you loved it every time she kicked your ass, no matter how much you complained,” I say with a sweet smile on my face, and I hear everyone laughing their asses off while Alpha Max looks at me dumbfounded.

“Okay, are you going to answer what you are doing here?” Elyse asks me, and I tell her I was ordered to show up for dinner, that there would be no excuses. She turns toward her Sons with a look in her eyes that would make the toughest Warrior crumble.

“Luna Elyse, something happened when I got home, and I think your Sons just want to get a few answers. I know Dad would like some answers himself,” I say.

“What the fuck did that bitch do this time?” Luna Elyse growls.
