Chapter 3

Hazel's Point of View

I recognized the dress immediately at first glance. This is the dress I have been dying so much to have. I once saw Ella wore it and I begged my mother to get it for me. But she said I don't deserve to wear what Ella wears.

"What is this dress doing here?" I asked with a raised brow. What if the man that always appears in my dreams brings it here?

No way, I shook off the ridiculous thought in my head. I must be crazy for thinking of him again. There is no way he will come to life. He can only remain in my dream, though I wish he never appear again but there is nothing I can do about it. I released the breath that I didn't even realize I was holding

"The Luna sent the dress here. She said you should wear it." Ophelia said with a beaming smile on her face. She look so excited.

I widened my eyes in surprise "What?! Are you for real?" I asked with my eyes widened. My face was full of surprise. It would be a lie if I said I didn't like the sudden 'Special treatment'

I love it so much. This is what I have been yearning for. I also wanted to be noticed by my parents and wanted them to treat me like their child. Even if they treat me half as they always treat Ella, I will be glad.

Maybe they feel bad for how they have been treating me for the past years and decided to make it up to me. I'm so excited about this after all.

"Let me have that," I said and snatched the dress away from Ophelia's hand. I ran to the bathroom instantly to wear the dress. My face was full of smiles. I'm so excited.

I slipped into the dress and stared at my reflection in the mirror. I look so breathtaking in the dress. The dress clutched to my upper body tightly showing off my curves. I am a rare beauty. No man will set his eyes on me without falling for me. I have a very nice figure and a pretty face. This is one of the reasons Ella hated me so much. I smiled in satisfaction and walked out of the bathroom.

"Wow," Ophelia commented and widened her eyes when she saw me.

"You are so breathtaking. I envied the lucky man who will marry you. You are such a beauty." She said with a big smile on her face "Now let's get your make-up done, have your seat."

I did as was told and sat before the mirror. I closed my eyes instantly and waited for her to perform her magic on my face

"You can now open your eyes now."

I opened my eyes slowly and was shocked to see the person in the mirror.

"Is this me?" I pointed at my face with my eyes widened.

"Yes my lady. Now let's get going.". Ophelia said with a smile. She suddenly grabbed a veil and used it to cover my white hair.

"Thank you," I mumbled and rose to my feet. We both walked out of the room and made our way to the throne hall. We met some maids on the way. Some greeted me while some just ignored me. I have no value in their eyes after all. They can do whatever they want.

I pushed open the door to the throne hall and entered. Ophelia also followed behind. My father sat on the throne while my mother sat not far away from him.

Ella also finds a comfortable place to sit on. She was also dressed in elegant clothes and had her makeup done. She was not smiling at all showing that she was displeased by whatever my parents had done to her.

"Good morning father, and mother." I greeted them with a bow. My voice was low and could barely be heard but I'm sure everyone in the room heard me.

"Morning." My father replied curtly. He sounded a little distant and it would be a lie if I said I was not a little disappointed. His face was void of any emotion and no one could tell what he was thinking.

"Good morning my love, hope you have a restful night." My mother returned the greeting with a beaming smile on her lips.

A look of surprise crossed my eyes. I thought my ears were playing a trick on me but the happy expression on her face said it all. I was so surprised by my mother's sudden act of kindness that I didn't even know how to reply to her.

My eyes fell on Ella and saw her glaring at me. Her eyes were shooting daggers at me. and look could kill, then I guess I would have been long dead by now. Her face was not smiling at all but not like I care. I can do well by ignoring her just like I have always done. Ella didn't bother to hide her hatred for me and I also stopped yearning for her love. Sometimes. I wonder if we are siblings. She is two years older than me so that makes her my elder sister.

"Come and have your seat beside me." My mother said again. I walked over to her with my head high but my gaze was low. I sat beside her and waited for my father to talk. I need to know why I was summoned here.

"I called for you." My father began and I raised my head instantly. Looking at his direction.

"I guess you already know of the rogue attack and how they have been killing members of the pack. It won't be nice if the pack perish in my time." He said.

"What does that have to do with me ". I almost blurted out but I refrained from saying so. I don't know what that has to do with me and I need him to elaborate on what he was saying further.
