Chapter 68

I waved a hand dismissively “Since Xavier’s alpha you’ll have heat pretty soon, it was only a day until I had mine and…Uh” I blushed remembering my heat “I got through it”
“You didn’t” Melissa said wide eyed “But his scent isn’t on you”
“Oh no no no. I…we…I mean he” I took a deep breath “We didn’t do that. But he had to do something since the heat doesn’t break unless…well…you know and he…uh kinda…helped me with that” For origınal chapters go to (.)net
“Oh” Melissa said and then added hesitantly “Do you really think giving him a chance is a good idea? what happened to staying the hell away from him?”
“Things changed” I said “We’ve been talking a lot and, though rejecting me was a stupid move, I kind of understand”
“What were his reasons?”
“I can’t say” I said, please I wasn’t about to tell them their alpha’s insecurities that was wrong on so many levels.
“I still don’t support this” Melissa said “you’re going to get hurt”
“Maybe” I said and then remembered my talk with my boys and smirked “But at least I won’t keep asking myself what would have happened if I gave him the chance”
Melissa shrugged and changed the subject but I noticed she was tense and even asked her about it and she said it was nothing so I shrugged it off.

The next day even went by fast Ethan kept acting…actually…quite perfect. He was nice to my boys and treated me great and then the day of the winter formal came. Everyone at school was talking about it while I was just nervous.
I walked to the lunch table and sat with my guys and Keith and Ethan and I noticed people crowded in a certain corner
“What’s going on?”
“they’re voting for winter king and queen” Dave answered “We already did”
“Really I didn’t know the nominees were announced” I said frowning
“you were sleeping in class when they announced it” Xavier laughed
“Oh” I shrugged “whatever don’t really care”
“You should” Ethan said smirking and I raised an eyebrow
“And why is that?”
He opened his mouth to say something but got interrupted when Whitney passed by our table “Hey Lily just thought I’d let you know that Alan and I voted for you” and then left.
“Say what?” I said and the table burst into laughter “you’re kidding me right?”
“Nops” Ethan said draping his arm around my shoulder “Lily Marison for Winter Queen”
“Oh please like I’d win anyways” I rolled my eyes
Ethan mumbled something under his breath and before I could ask him what he said Jim said excitedly “Christmas vacation after the formal”
“Can’t wait” I said smiling “When are we gonna put the tree?
“Anytime you want” Ethan said smiling
“How bout the day after the winter formal, it’s a week before christmas”
“Sure” he said before the bell rang and he kissed me goodbye before leaving for class.

I agreed with the girls that we’d get ready for the formal together at the pack house since Ren was determined to make me look perfect. God help me.
The boys were going to wait for us downstairs and then we’d pick up the rest of their dates, well except for Adrian because he refused to date other girls ever since his mate he feels as if he’s cheating on her even though they weren’t together.
“Okay I’ll do your hair” Ren started but I interrupted her
“You won’t do anything with my hair I’m just gonna fix it a bit and let it down. As for make up” I grimaced but noticed Ren’s face brighten “Sure but nothing too extensive”
“Sure now hurry and take a shower before I start my work”
I nodded and took the fastest shower I’ve ever had due to ren’s constant yelling at me through the door to hurry. Wow that girl is scary at times like this.
When I dried my hair and fixed it up Ren did my make up and when I looked in the mirror I was shocked. I looked actually kinda good, the make up was light, nothing too much except for the red lipstick.
“Isn’t the lipstick a bit
“It’s perfect” Ren said and Melissa agreed with her “With you’re hair color and complexion it makes you look amazing.”
“If you say so” I said a bit hesitant
“You look great Lily stop doubting it” Melissa said as Ren started working on her “Now come on put on the dress”
I sighed and went to the dress, I fingered the white fabric and sighed hoping it wasn’t too much. I grabbed it and the heels and went to the bathroom to change.
When I got out I found Ren and Melissa ready to go “How do I look?”
They turned to me and grinned “If I was a guy I’d definitely want to date you” Ren said and I laughed
“You look stunning Lily” Meliisa said and I smiled
“And you guys look absolutely gorgeous” I said
“Come on the guys are calling for us” Ren said “Oh yeah” she threw me a box “Put on these earrings” and then left with Melissa
I opened the box and found two small, simple diamond earrings that were beautiful. Noticing I was alone I turned around and looked in the mirror. Doubting myself the way I always do but never say out loud. I forced the doubts out of my head and smiled as I pulled out the earrings, this night is going to be great.
Ethan’s P.O.V.
“Where’s Lily?” I asked as Ren and Melissa made their way downstairs. Xavier grinned and stared at Ren in awe and she blushed under his gaze
“She’s upstairs almost done. you can go get her if you want” She said smirking and I nodded and made my way upstairs. I stopped at Lily’s room and found the door open. I stepped in and froze at what I saw.
