Chapter eighteen

Claire POV.


Around nine-thirty in the morning, someone came knocking at my door.

“Come in!”. I screamed, feeling too lazy to get up. Jane, my new personal maid, entered the room with a big smile on her face.


“Good morning, Mam!.” She greeted me.

“Good morning, Jane and my name is Sophia; you can call me that,” I replied to her.


“Am sorry, Mam Sophia I can’t do that. You are my future, Luna. It will be disrespectful for me to call you with your name.” She explained and I understood her situation.


“If you say so. Anyway, how may I help you?”. I questioned her.


“I wanted to thank you for choosing me to be your personal maid. It’s an honour and I promise not to disappoint you”. Jane sincerely said with a big smile on her face. Working at the Alpha’s usually comes with a big bonus; talk more of working directly for the Alpha.

“No need to thank me. I like your charisma.”


“By the way Mam, the stylist is already around and waiting for you in the visitor's lounge,” Jane informed me.


“Really? I will just get ready and come downstairs in twenty minutes. Do inform her please.” I replied to her as I got up from the bed to start getting ready.

“Okay, Mam”. Jane responded and then left the room.

Since I have already showered. I decided to just change my dress. I wore a black long turtleneck body con gown that Lisa got for me the day she went shopping. Talking about Lisa, it’s been a long time since I saw her. I really missed her.

I made my way out of my room and into the elevator, and I pressed the ground floor button. I just hope I can find my way to the visitor lounge because this place is so damn big. I will try and take a tour around it when I am less busy.


I was able to locate the visitor lounge since it is adjacent to the magnificent staircase. I entered the room and saw Xavier conversing with a woman. I couldn’t see her face because her face was turned to me. The only feature I could see about her was her blond hair. I cleared my throat to make them notice me because I do like the way Xavier is smiling at her. He is supposed to smile at me only.

“Wait! Wait Sophia! Don’t tell me you are jealous.”. My inner voice questioned me.

“Yeah, right, there is no way I could be jealous of a blonde.


“O Sophia, dearest, do come in.”. Xavier begged me to go closer to him. I went and started near him, facing the blonde girl, and I took a good look at her.

"Okay, I admit. I am definitely jealous right now.”. I admitted defeat to my inner voice. The woman looks as if she just came from a magazine photo shoot. She is wearing black leather jeans, an ash turtleneck, and a black fur jacket. And she wears heels and boots on her feet with silver jewellery. Damn! She looks too hot. She looks like the type that will always stand out, no matter the crowd.


“Sophia, this is Amanda, our pack's best celebrity stylist. Amanda, our beautiful mate Sophia”. Xavier introduces me, causing me to blush when he says "Beautiful.”.


“It’s a pleasure meeting you, Sophia.”. Amanda said it with an angelic voice. Great! She is the type of person who has little or no flaws.

“Same as well.”. I replied timidly. I hate situations like this. She is making me feel as if I am a child, which technically could be considered one. I will feel insecure next time.

“Amanda will be the one escorting you for your shopping. That’s it if it’s okay with you.”. Xavier said.

Hell, it is not okay at all. I feel like she is Luna and is her personal maid. I don’t think I can go shopping with her, but I don’t know what to tell Xavier. He seems to have a lot of faith in her.


“It’s okay”. I responded with my head bowed. Xavier turned and looked at me, but when he saw that I refused to look at him, he turned his face. Amanda sat and looked at us with amusement.


“Okay then. I have stuff to get back to. Here is my card. It is limited to `` buying whatever you want”. Xavier stood up to leave and dropped a peck on my forehead. He handed over the card to Amanda and went out of the room, leaving me alone with Amanda, who was looking at me, but I refused to look at her.

“We have a lot of things to do, so we better get going.”. Amanda stood up and begged me to do so too.


We went out of the house to meet a car that was already waiting for us. And we both entered without talking to each other.


Along the way, Amanda tried to make small talk with me, but I only gave her a one-word reply, so she must have gotten the gist that I didn’t want to talk, so she kept quiet.


We soon reached a big shopping mall, and the driver packed the car. I guess this is our bus stop. We came down and entered the mall. We went to the section of the boutiques, and we stopped at “the elite.”. Once we entered inside, I knew why the boutique was named the Elite. Everything inside of it screamed expensively.


The whole group of workers must have been used to seeing Amanda because they all started smiling as soon as they saw her.


“Mam Amanda, welcome! We are happy to see you.”. They all greeted Amanda, while most of them ignored me. Only a few waved in my direction.


“Morning everyone. This is a very special guest of mine. We are here on a mission to give her a change of clothes.” Amanda playfully said that and dropped her bag on the visitor's sofa.


"Well, that’s very good. What kind of theme do you want to buy?.” A lady with an assistant manager badge on her blazer asked Amanda. I don’t even know what they mean by "theme.”.


“We want the best out of the best you have. Clothes fit for a queen include casual, loungewear, cooperates, and dinner gowns. Everything! We want the highest test.”. Amanda explained as she danced around. She made me laugh. She is acting like a fairy godmother, right?


“If that is the case, I have the right collection for you. Do make yourself comfortable, please.”. The assistant manager said and waved her hands to the girls, and they all left—only God knows where. I have a feeling I will really enjoy this day.
