Chapter 11.
Estella’s POV.

The sun shines through the soft curtains shooting glimmery light specks off the sparkles hitting the floor and walls of the bedroom. I lay still under his heavy arms wrapped around me relaxed, I shimmy back closer to him as he tightens his grip.

I lay watching the little sparkles for a while before I feel him breath deeply and begin to stretch, he rolls over facing me planting soft kisses across my face while his hands travel along my body.
"Steele will be coming to get you today to go shopping, you can get what ever you like but you also have to get a dress for the Luna ceremony." He says in between his kisses giving me butterflies as my body sparkles from his touch just like the sparkles pouring in through the window.

"Ok, what will you be doing?" I ask softly.
"I’ll be speaking with the chambers today and bring them the information we found out to see what they say. Then I have some pack business to attend to, we will have dinner together tonight." He says standing up and walking to the bathroom. I stretch, rolling around in bed trying to make myself active when I finally get up from the cozy blankets and meet him in the bathroom to brush my teeth. When I’m done I throw on a dark grey sun dress and my grey slip on shoes, I assume I’ll be changing a lot today so at least it will be easy to take on and off.

By the time I’m done getting ready I notice Collin has slipped out the door and is already gone, I sigh feeling alone and decide to go to the kitchen to grab something to eat before going shopping. I sit at the counter eating a bowl of strawberries and peaches as Steele comes skipping in, seeing her not in fight mode makes me realize how feminine and girly she actually is.

"Are you almost ready to go Luna?" She says stealing a berry.
"Yeah we can leave now if you’d like." I answer as I get up to start out the castle.
"So first we will get a dress for the ceremony, it needs to be appropriate and elegant. Next we will get you a less appropriate dress for your night with the Alpha after." she looks over shooting me a smile while I feel my face turn crimson red and I realize how embarrassed I am.

"Did you have any colour schemes in mind?" She asks calmly as my mind switches back to my Luna ceremony.
"I don’t know, I really like red and gold." I say back thinking about a dress I wore to a school event one time.
"What about maroon?" she asks.
"It’s soft and darker it will be so fitting!" She says excitedly as I nod my head excitedly and get in to her car.

We drive maybe 25 minutes before we reach a little town lined with gorgeous shops, everything looks so cute and family oriented.
"Oh my god!" I say in amazement staring out the window we come to a stop and both get out.
"Where too first?" Steele asks as I shrug my shoulders looking around before pointing at a little shop with bright lights outside of it.
"That one!" I say grabbing her hand pulling her with me.

There are 3 long dresses in the window all different shades of blue and gorgeous. We walk in and the little bell above the door chimes signalling our entry.
"Oh hello ladies, can I help you with anything today?" A tall skinny woman says to us, she has short black hair and a long flowy dress.
"Hey!" Steele says happily. "We’re just looking for now, we'll let you know if we need anything." She finishes as the tall lady smiles nodding.

Steele and I begin looking through the racks of dresses, she finds a really pretty strapless dress that comes just below my knees and trails off behind me. It has a silver band just under the breasts.
"We'll put it in the try on pile." I say draping it over my arm, next one I pull out is a deep red long sleeve that has a huge dip in the back and low v-neck, it has lace accents around the skirt that go towards the floor. I grab it and run to the changing room calling Steele along my way.

I try it on first, pulling it up my body and slip my arms in to the soft, sleeves adjusting the seem along my chest. I turn and look in the mirror as Steele gasps seeing the dress as her hands cover her smile.
"We’re getting this one for sure!" She exclaims as I nod happily looking at the lace fabric flowing to the floor around me.

Steele and I pay for the dress and decide to go get some jewelry that goes with it. As we’re looking at a small gold chain with little moons all around it I get a comforting feeling
"Do you like this one?" She asks seeing me admire the little moons.
"Yeah it’s pretty." I say smiling to her as she goes to bring it up to the cashier.

Next store we go in to makes me blush as Steele does a little dance.
"Women in pink." Reads the sign above us as we walk in, my eyes go wide and I realize the whole store is full of skimpy night dresses, lace tights and see through bras. The far side of the store is all sorts of plastic and rubber toys I’ve never seen before, I gulp and I feel my anxiety rise making me blush crimson.

"Oh my god Steele!" I exclaim in embarrassment as she giggles pulling me to a rack of lace bra and pantie sets.
"What size are you?" She asks and I stop to think about it for a moment.
"I’m not sure?" I shrug not knowing what to say.
"I mostly wear sports bra’s and the two I have don’t really fit great." I say looking down to my hands shrugging.

She stops for a moment thinking before pulling me over to a lady in the store stocking silk panties and night dresses as my heart pounds in my ears, because of our towns rules we don’t have any shops like this. It’s to much of a temptation and the women can’t be buying things like these.
"Hey could you please size my friend so we know what to get her?" Steele asks the girl behind the desk calmly like it’s the most normal thing in the world.

"Of coarse I can!" She say happily walking me over to a changing area.
"32b." She says after wrapping a tape around me tightly, Steele and I go back to the rack and I pick out a white matching set with little diamonds in crested in to the straps and the band. She comes over with a black set with red lace over top, we put both in the little buggy and move on. I get a black silk set that we seen the shop lady stocking earlier as Steele comes over with these big lace stockings and tosses them in too, she continues to run around choosing lacey coloured items she thinks I’ll like while throwing them in the buggy.

She grabs a few one piece outfits, as well as a silk robe thats actually really cute. Soon we finish up and I convince Steele we’ve gotten enough, we check out and realize we’re both starving and it’s quite late. We get back to the car putting our bags in the back, we get in and start our way back to the castle, as we drive back I notice smaller stone buildings all placed a good distance from each other.

"What are those?" I ask pointing to the weird buildings.
"Oh those are houses, they’re all over the kingdom some bigger then others but all stone." She answers giving me more questions.
"Why is everything made from stone?" I ask curiously.
"Well 100 years ago when Collins grandfather was Alpha they were in the middle of a brutal war." She says. "Using stone for the houses and castle was a protective measure our Alpha called for, this way if we were attacked with fire the whole kingdom didn’t burn." She states as I nod softly.
“The newer buildings are mostly built from wood, but anything built while Collin’s grandfather was in power was stone.” I nod taking a mental note to look in to it later.

Soon we’re back at the castle, we walk inside and my mouth waters at the smell of spaghetti and garlic bread. I open the kitchen doors to see Collin putting food on to the plates as I run to the table and sit down.
"There you are." He says smiling at me. "Dinners ready, did you have fun with Steele." He asks and I nod taking the plate from him.
"Steele said she would get Enzo to put the bags in our room." I say already stuffing my mouth as he just looks at me and chuckles.

I eat quickly not noticing how hungry I actually was, when we’re done I take both our plates to the sink and begin washing them.
"You don’t have to do that." Collin says as I smile over to him.
"I know." I respond. "But I want to." I say as I finish drying the dishes off then my hands. He grabs my hand and we go up to our bedroom. I set the bags in the closet pulling out the black silk dress and panties I just got, putting them on and climbing in to bed, I hear the shower turn on but I’m so tired I’m asleep before it turns back off.
