Whore of the Werewolf Billionaire

"The wedding dress is the trend nowadays. It's called a mermaid-style wedding gown."

It's so white that, I presume if I walk down the aisle later at midnight, I'll be the shining beacon amidst the dark of night.

It has no sleeves and has a huge V-cut by the breasts. As I survey the wedding gown, I look at my chest, calculating how revealing my cleavage would be.

see?"

"I thought my wedding gown would be a conservative one?"

Nicole raised a brow. "Nah, why hide something your Alpha would very much love to

He and Melissa clapped and I was left pouting. "And what exactly is that something?" I crossed my arms.

"Your tits." Melissa chuckled.

"Shh, Melissa." But my soon-to-be sister-in-law remained giggling.noveldrama

"It's you. Your beauty. The shape of you, raw and dazzling. So flaunt it, girl! We are no

longer in the conservative era-we are now in the cleavage era!"

"Okay." I don't know if I should cover my chest with a shawl.

"Okay? You seem unhappy." Nicole frowned and he's so cute that I cackled.

"Okay!" I squealed.

"That's the Elaine energy we are looking for!"

I look at the gown again. It's basically glittering and breath-taking, loaded with swirling designs and beads and sequins and even a belt of blue pearls across the waist.

"So, what are you waiting for?" Nicole stretched a hand.

"What?"

"Oh, Elaine!" Nicole pressed his hand on his forehead. "Try it on so we can see how it looks at you and if there is to be adjusted like the hemline or is it too long, blah blah blah." I blushed. "Ri-right now?"

Nicole almost rolled his eyes gagging while Melissa squeezed my right hand. "It's only seven hours before your wedding, Elaine. I'll be here to assist you."

"I'll carry the dress." Meah volunteered. I almost forgot she's here. Still here.

I put on the wedding dress and it's so huge and heavy that Melissa and Meah had to

hold the dress as I slid my body inside.

As soon as I hear the shutting of the zipper, I turn around the skinny mirror in the

changing room.

"Oh, dear Selena!" The V-cut opening reached an inch before my navel. This is the most revealing apparel I have ever worn.

"You're gorgeous!"

"You look like Kate Middleton!"

I looked at Meah and Elaine and I cried out jumping as the two hugged me.

"Oh Meah! Oh Melissa!" Nicole's thundering voice slammed against the door. When we opened it, it's a good thing his husband was beside him upon seeing me in his creation, in his jaw-dropping masterpiece.

"Oh, Elaine! You're a fucking Goddess!"

I squeaked as I brought my hair behind my ears while acting femininely cute, "I know."

No adjustments were made when I took off the wedding dress.

I feasted my eyes on my reflection, praising myself that I have endured half of the day without breaking down. My hairdresser inspired my look from Queen Elsa from Frozen's coronation, where a braid was wrapped around my hair and tightened with a bun.

  "Here is for your bridal party," said Meah as I finally fixed the white spaghetti dress in my figure.

  "Bridal party? I already have my Bridal Shower," I answered as I locked the circlular dangling earrings.

"That's a different one. And this, starting at five in the afternoon, is basically a club for you before you are presented to the wedding altar in Alpha Tyler's eyes."

"Oh?" I never knew werewolves are the type of party people.

"It's more like a dinner party held with dancing and is mostly attended by women, served

with expensive food at the same time party food."

Melissa met my gaze when Meah and I closed the changing room behind us, who was in

a midnight blue dress the same thing she wore when I saw her earlier.

"Let's go?" she asked.

I inhaled, then exhaled. In seven hours, I will be Mrs. Tyler Jane Moonstorm. In seven hours, I will be the Luna, the Queen, of the Silver Pack.

  In seven hours, I will finally have a permanent last name-Moonstorm.

  Elaine Winona Moonstorm, so beautiful and elegant to hear and pronounce even in my mind.

"Let's go," I beamed at her and at Meah.

It's full of colors and modern music. Women, mostly young and in their early thirties, graced

their bodies on the dance floor, swaying and moving with every beat of pop and rock music.

I remained seated in the center, eating mozzarella sticks.

"Why aren't you dancing?" Melissa asked as she sip from a sweating glass of mocktail. "Because I'm eating." She almost threw her beverage on the floor.

"Oh come on, Elaine. I know you. You are just anxious."

I gave her a half smile and an arched brow. "Maybe. But I cannot erase in my mind what happened to...what she did...and what will happen to "

"Rowena," she hissed her name. "I knew her longer than you since I am the 'sacrificed' that came before you. But..."

"Anyone can betray anyone," I don't know if I'm telling that to her or to myself. "That's why I don't make a lot of friends. Because the more you do, the more people will hurt and disappoint you."

Melissa reached for my hand and pressed her palm against mine. "You don't need to be sad. I am right here for you. I will give you advice, guide you, and be there for you when you and Tyler's little one start to grow in your womb."

She gave me a gentle smile and I just pulled my hand away, as well as my eyes.

I will be spending my last hours as a single woman this cocktail dinner party with girls in their colorful dresses whereas me is stuck in white. Melissa said it's a symbolism of my singleness and purity and that I must relish the last hours of being a maiden before being wedded to the Alpha-bedded by the Alpha.

I breathed in the smell of lobster being roasted topped with cheese and chives. "Maybe you are right. We can accept the pain brought by the past and by the people we have trusted. But the thought of it happening is the reason why parties exist."

She roared with laughter; we both did. It's the first real laugh we had that we almost forgot that existed since last night.

  "Forgive and forget," she mumbled as she pulled me to the dance floor and we both danced in BlackPink's As If It's Your Last.

"I don't believe in it."

"You don't?" Her tone was confused as she moved her body, her left hand rested on top of her belly.

  "No. because I believe in Party Now, Cry Later."

  "Oh God, Elaine!" Melissa Delvin-Moonstorm almost cannot stop laughing even when we reached the music's outro.

I danced and drank, almost exposing my breasts to the party-goers due to the amount of alcohol flowing in my body.

  I crawled to the more silent area, fixed my clothes and started crying.

;

Because I believe in the happiness-comes-before-and-after-sadness supremacy.

I poured all the emotion in the shadowy corner while my handkerchief was still dry. And

my dress.

I bowed down and covered my face with my palms, eventually digging into my crossed arms as I buried it with the neatness of the white dress.

Emotions mixed inside me and I felt like a blender while sorrow, anger, betrayal, anxiety are the ingredients thrown in the blender. I just poured my feelings through my eyes. I don't care

if it will eventually flood the area but at least, I vented out without screaming, just silently letting the rain in my eyes drench my soul.

"A bride should never cry hours before her wedding." I debated hoisting my head. The

voice is familiar but it wasn't Tyler's.

  "Jose?" I wiped my eyes with a swift movement of the back of my hand. "What's bothering you?"

  It took me five seconds to answer as I gasped for breath. "Rowena..."

He just nodded, eventually pulling his gaze from me. He sat beside me with only a handful of space between us.

"I grew up without knowing my mother as those heart-eating bastards have eaten her..." He started to speak and I couldn't help but listen and open my ears for him, straightening my back. My tears dried eventually.

  "Rowena...she was my babysitter at first. But the old woman later took on the responsibilities of a mother."

"I was hurt too," he added. I never saw Jose so emotional now. I only saw his strong face during that forest incident and heard his jovial quirky words back at Café del Luna the night after I came to Stella's Soul. I never saw the softness of the man behind the iron-faced Beta until now. "You missed her, didn't you?" My cheeks warmed in reaction. "That's why you crawl here

in the corner and bury your face in your white dress while you try to silently cry?" Jose clicked his tongue. "That's what I also did during the meeting at the Silver Alpha Fortress with your fiancé hours ago. Rowena had been the nanny for me and the Moonstorm brothers. But they had their mom until they reached adolescence. I didn't have mine as early as six."

her?'

  He turned his body to face me, still in a sitting position. "Would you like to visit

  Those words made my senses bright and awake in an instant. "I can?"

"Yes. If you keep it only between us." Jose winked, but woe still sparkled in his eyes. "At

least before your wedding, you can have a closure with her. Give your friendship a proper exit

and say goodbye to her before she receives her punishment."

"What's her punishment?"

  Jose only sighed. "Only the Three Alphas knew."

Maybe I should ask Tyler by parting my legs open instead of my mouth?

"I'd like to visit her," I whispered to Jose's ears.
