"No, wait! I can do it myself. You all can leave for now.”
She tried to oppose the sudden intrusion in her privacy again, and covered her breasts while she clasped her thighs together. Evelyn did not react to her revolt neither did she speak anything nor showed any emotion over her face. The head maid was not allowed to leave Lana all alone for any moment.

But upon seeing that Lana was not ready to stay put with the treatment she had been getting. It was obvious that Evelyn was not allowed to leave her alone but she also had to ensure that Lana was ready for breakfast. Either way she had to make sure that Lana would wear the dress and was prepared.

Evelyn twitched her hand and the pink dress floated in the air which caught Daniell off guard. A sprinkle of golden dust emerged from her hands and wrapped around Lana’s waist. And within less than seconds the dress vanished into thin air and started to emerge on her body. Lana gasped upon the magic she had been witnessing in front of her which perhaps only a hybrid could perform.



Lana was unable to make her stand still with all that fluttering feeling which clouded her mind. She could feel the eyes on herself as the cloth began to wrap around her arms towards downwards. And soon she was dressed in the very same dress which had vanished earlier. Lana was dazed seeing such a sight since the werewolves could not perform such magic and other similar things, thus every such sight was no less than a miracle for them.



"Whoa! How did you-"
Her words were interrupted by the sudden touch on her body while Lana was occupied in praising the dress. Happiness was all over her face and oozed from her every single cell. However, it did not take long that she was graded and pushed down on the chair in front of the dressing table.



The maids had been working on the instructions of the Evelyn who slipped their arms in Lana’s armpit and dragged her. Thus, they remained quiet and assisted the head maid, Lana was forced to sit on the wooden stool and Evelyn again performed some spell. The woman stood behind her as Lana stared in her reflection lovingly. The big round mirror with heavy golden carvings of flowers was equally beautiful as the other furniture.


The sparkles emerged from Evelyn’s hands and floated towards Lana’s hair as she focused on her head. Lana soon found her hair rising up and floating as they started to tie up into a loose long braid. She was fazed by that scenario when Evelyn tucked the small ruby beads in every fold of her braid. With her blonde hair and pink flowery dress Lana looked no less than a royal aristocratic lady.




'Only if you were here, Martha. You would have been so happy to see me like this.'
She remembered her one and only friend whom she had left behind in the brothel and did not even get the chance to meet with. Lana knew that the things she had been allotted and provided back there were because of her.

That was why she recalled her dear friend at that time, Lana wanted Martha to know what luxuries she had been living in now. It made her aggrieved over the whole thing that Martha was absent and she could not share her happiness with her dear friend. Although the events of yesterday also flashed in her head making Lana even sadder.

Maybe she was not as lucky as she had been deeming herself. The alpha was not into her and did not like Lana. She was nothing more than a slave for him, and what Sahan said yesterday made her realise that sooner or later the apha would take advantage of her body. Meanwhile Lana was immersed in her own thoughts, Evelyn could potentially see her saddened face.

“Don’t be sad, my lady. The alpha has not given this treatment to anyone in a long time. You are one of those women whom he deemed dear enough to protect.”
Evelyn seized the chance to make Lana realise how precious she was to the alpha. However, Lana herself was not sure about the authenticity of her words.

“What do you mean by that? What is this implication for?”
Lana immediately grew anxious as the consciousness hit her and she began to question whatever her head maid said. She was aware that the alpha did not like her but the words used by Evelyn had some other hidden meaning. Lana was unsure of why she made it sound like Lana was not the only one who managed to get similar treatment.

“Pardon me, my lady. I am in no position to tell you this, you have to approach the alpha to know more.”
Evelyn gently tapped over her shoulder after her hair and light makeup was done. Lana was happy just a moment ago and now all her confusion and the fears were slowly turning out to be true.

She had no other choice but to confront either the maids or someone else who was able to tell her more about Belle Morte and its people, especially the alpha Sahan. Maybe his beta, Markus, was a wise choice. After all he was the oldest and reliable person the alpha had beside him. But was he permitted to say anything to Lana?

Just as she was about to say something a loud thud resonated in the room. The huge immaculate door opened immediately and the alpha walked inside. Evelyn hurriedly stepped away from Lana and looked at the alpha with a brief gaze. She made sure that he was able to find out that Lana was ready for breakfast.

“All of you! Out!”
Sahan cast a brief look at her and saw Lana being clad in a pink gown. He immediately recognised that dress and it made the alpha even more angrier. Evelyn and the other maids dashed out of the room without even looking back. He was not sure whether Lana stole that dress or somebody brought it there.
