Chapter 8 That’s how the things are done!

Natalie’s POV

.

“Try this!” Judy says and my eyes are ogling at the dress my best friend holds in her hands.

“Are you nuts, Judy?” I Ask her and I am sure that I am already blushing just imagining how I would look wearing something so sexy.

“She is right, you know?” the designer of the dress shop tells me. “I have known you for some time and every time you chose conservative clothes. Do you know how good looking you are?” the designer asks me and I just look at her.

“Is not that” I tell her looking at all the dresses she chose to present me today. Some of them are damned sexy but I can’t show up like this at the Alpha’s Party.

“You know that I have responsibilities.” I tell them and continue to search for the perfect dress.

“And this dress will stop you from doing your job?” Judy asks and points to a beautiful but damned tight and short draped-effect dress from Versace.

“I can’t show up like that, Judy! What will people think about me? I need to prove myself that I am capable as a Luna, not to show up like a bimbo.”

“That’s not the definition of a bimbo, Nat and you know it. And your body is damned sexy and yet you are always elegant and cover yourself like it would be a shame to have such a fine body.” Judy scolds me.

“She is right again, Natalie. When was the last time you look in a mirror?” the designer asks and places a gorgeous black dress in front of me, making me look in the mirror at the way the dress should look on me.

It is a plunge-neck tulle mini dress from Oscar de la Renta, featuring black, virgin wool blend, tulle netting, plunge style, sleeveless, concealed rear zip fastening, straight hem and fitted silhouette.

The dress is so beautiful but not proper for someone like me.

“Try it!” Judy and the designer say together but I just shake my head.

“No is too short, and there's so much skin to be seen. I can’t. And it is expensive. I need to take care with my pack’s money, because they are not mine.” I say and looking at the other dresses the designer presented me, I see a beautiful simple and elegant white dress.

It is a KHAITE's The Bruna dress. The fluid fabric and natural draping work together to create something striking. It's cut from a crepe jersey with a gathered, off-shoulder neckline and the dress falls to a lightly pleated maxi-length skirt that billows with movement. It is splendid.

“Well, congratulations Jackie Kennedy! You will make your husband proud of you, he will win a new presidential mandate!” Judy mocks me and she starts to laugh.

“You should show that body to the world, woman. You look like Gisele Bündchen and you act like this would be a shame. “

“I don’t care. I will try this dress. It is more appropriate for a Luna” I say while Judy rolls her eyes at me and just right when I was ready to tell Judy to shut up and end this circus, the door opened and my heart stopped.

“Good morning , Luna” one of our pack’s female warriors salutes me and motions to Lexie to enter the dress shop.

“Carmela,” I say looking at the warrior. “What are you doing here?” I ask and clench my fingers in a fist, because I already know what she is looking for. My scoundrel mate sent her to help his fated mate and put me in a bad light again.

“Alpha Adam sent me to accompany Lexie to choose a dress for the party” Carmela says and I would like to grab Lexie by her neck and cut out her eyes, but before I could add something else, she starts her acting and coming close to me, as if she wouldn’t be the third wheel in my relationship with my husband , she touches the dress I was ready to try and says:

“This dress is so beautiful!” and smiling at Carmela tells her “I would like one of this too”

I am going to puke. This is too much and I swear to you that I am killing Lexie right here and after that I am going home and cutting Adam’s neck. This woman is everywhere!

But before I could scold her, Judy steps in and growling she is accusing Lexie and starts a fight with Carmela

“ARE YOU KIDDING ME?” and she is pointing her finger to Lexie while she is talking with the warrior.

“You brought this piece of shit here when you already knew that your Luna is here too? Is this the way you respect her?” she growled, but man, she shouldn’t do that because I know Carmela better than Judy does and this woman is a pain in my ass. I believe that this is why Adam sent her to accompany Lexie.

“And who do you think you are to tell me what to do? “ Carmela yells back. “My Alpha gave me a command and I respected his word.”

“What about your Luna?” Judy asks and I just stare at them, starting to enjoy the show, because Judy is not going to let Carmela escape with this easily.

“My Alpha’s command is more important” she says and I almost start to laugh. The bitch must hate me for the way I make the warriors train.

“And from what I see, not only your Alpha’s word but his mistress too!”

And the moment she uttered those words people around us started to look at us and also at Lexis, and also started to make assumptions about her presence here.

“I am not a mistress!” Lexie says and starts to cry.

“Is that so?” Judy asks her directly, and Carmela steps in front of Lexie as if she is trying to defend her, but Lexie just watches me and wiping away her tears asks:

“ Did you let your friend intentionally humiliate me and Adam?” and she looks so damned innocent.

“It’s Alpha Adam for you, bitch!” Judy growled and that made me smile and lift an eyebrow, because Lexie started to cry again.

“You know what?” I say continuing to smile at her, completely satisfied by the way things came out. “Take this dress if you like it so much.”

“What are you doing?” Judy asks me in horror. “You like that dress!” and she has no idea what I am doing. Most probably she thinks that I hit my head somewhere.

“Take it. Adam will like to see you in that dress” I say and turn my back and giving a large smile to the designer , who has no idea what is happening here or what I am doing, I take that black dress from her hands and tell her:

“I will trust your choice this time” and winking at her I go directly to the dressing room.

“What are you doing?” Judy asks running after me and pushing me inside the dressing room. “You liked that dress! Why would you make that bitch a favor and give her your dream dress?”

But I say nothing. I just start to undress myself and when I put that little black dress on me I am blocked in my own tracks.

“Holy shit!” Judy exclaims. “Adam Hawkins will die with blue balls seeing you like this! How the hell is that I never saw you wearing sexy dresses?” Judy asks me and walks around me to admire my composure.

“Can you come out?” the designer asks me and I have no motive not to do it, so I step out of the dressing room and I can see all the eyes on me.

“You are stunning, Natalie!” the designer tells me. “This makes you irresistible!”

And I give her a soft smile. Is not my style, but I do look like a model wearing this dress.

I turn around to look at the back of the dress, and every single curve I have is honored by this splendid dress.

“Don’t worry, Lexie,” suddenly Carmela said, “Maybe we will find something to put in your bra and this dress will fit you in the end.” and that got our attention, because right at that moment Lexie exited her dressing room.

What the hell? Does this woman have any forms or curves or she is the string woman without tits and without ass? And before I could say something my sassy friend started again.

“Hahahaha!” She laughs her heart out. “You just look like a maid that stole her master's clothes. You wanted Natalie’s dress but to wear it you need more than your desire. You need to be as tall as her, and have at least a C cup on your bra. Now that I am looking at you I don’t even know if you are a little boy or a woman”

And turning her face in my direction she tells me.

“You should wear this dress, Nat. This dress is perfect for you” and I shake my head, laughing at her and mindlinking her I say:

“That was so low, even for you, Judy. But thank you for putting that bitch at her place”

“You are welcome” she winks at me, and with a devilish smile she turns her face to Lexie who is barely refraining from crying and says.

“You should wear that dress too. You asked for her and your Luna generously gave it to you. You can’t refuse it!”

Now that’s how things are done!

One to zero for me!
