Then slowly from the bottom of the hair, she began to brush it slightly higher than the bottom, and from there, she brushed it again, this time from the top to the bottom.



Natasha had picked up some few strands of her hair and made out two long braids which rested on both sides of her cheeks, and then making a ponytail with the rest of the hair.



She had put on a white gown, with some beautiful golden embroidery designs around the sleeves and the base of the dress.



The dress was made to be a bit loose starting from the hips and down to the ankle, with the embroidery done in a circular design, the dress was sewn to show a little cleavage, showing off her bright skin.



The dress was adorned in beadwork that took an army of well skilled embroiderers to complete, and the gown was filled with symbolism and beauty to fit and represent her Dominion, elegance, poise and glory



Her makeup was very light, blending to her skin tone, her lips painted beautifully, her eyes were tight lined beautifully and her eyebrows drawn perfectly.



She smacked her lips in front of the mirror, trying to adjust her already painted lips.



She took a close look at herself in the mirror. The golden jewelries she wore complimented her dress perfectly, starting from the earrings to the pendants, to the tiara which she wore on her hair, she looked more of a queen than she ever felt she was.



Her golden shoes elevated her more, and from her room, she could hear the sound of music, the violins being played melodiously



"How do I look?", Emily asked nervously.

"You look beautiful my lady..", Layla commented with an astonished face. The dress, the makeup, the shoes and the hair, all of it made her look entirely beautiful.



"Lovely my lady", Natasha answered as she kept her hands behind her back and smiled at her.



She too couldn't believe that the braids and the hair designs she made was as perfect as she saw it to be.



She was ecstatic, so excited being given the opportunity to braid the Luna's hair.



While they stood there giving the dress and the looks some finishing touches, they heard a knock on the door.



The door made a tiny creaking sound as it opened. A maid stepped into the room ahhand closed it quietly, but as she turned, she turned to meet Emily, Layla and Natasha staring at her.



Aside courtesy, it was very disrespectful for a maid to barge into the Alpha's room without the permission of the alpha, the consequences being either loosing hands or loosing their hands.



But the look on all their faces told her she was very wrong to enter the room without approval and she quickly had to fall on her knees and tender an apology.



"I'm sorry my lady..", she said as she knelt on the ground, her hands in front of her and her head bowed to the ground.



"What is it?", Emily asked with a frown on her face, looking at her with a scornful face.



"The guests are arriving. Alpha Richard has sent me to you. He said he wants you to join him as he welcomes the guests", the maid said still bowing down.



"You may leave", Emily said throwing her face away and still looking at the mirror, admiring herself and her dress.



The maid could feel the anger in her voice, but then she had the moon goddess to thank for when Emily only sent her out of the room.



She knew very well that, that evening was one of the greatest and happiest days of Emily's life and so Emily becoming irate would mean ruining the cause of the celebration



"Shall we?", Emily turned to Layla and Natasha who stood at her back watching her.



The smile on both their faces assured her that everything was at least perfect and that she was good to go



She held up the lower part of her dress, giving room for easy movement of her feet.



Her shoes made some sounds as each heel touched the ground, echoing throughout the entire room.



Layla and Natasha were there to hold the other end of the dress, giving Emily the comfort she needed in order to move freely.



As she walked down the steps, all eyes were on her again. At some point she was so used to the views of other people on her, some of the guests were so astonished by her beauty so much, they gasped in amazement of her looks and her dress.



As she walked down the steps, her shoes still echoing some sounds as she moved, she saw a man standing powerfully at the doorway.



She suspected him to be her mate, to be Richard.

His black shiny hair was combed neatly and tied together, he wore a black glittering suit, brightly sparkling in the room, the jacket being as long as a robe, with his well polished shoes and with his hands behind his back. .



He turned round slowly once he began to hear the echoing footsteps, and his eyes met her eyes immediately.



Just as Emily had predicted, it was Richard. The way and manner in which he always stood showed his authority and power.



He was very handsome, his smile, his dressing, his hair, his well trimmed beards, his posture, all about him at that particular moment oozed out his confidence.



Just as Emily couldn't stop admiring him, he also couldn't resist her beauty.



Her dress was angelic, her smile, her tiara and the way she walked, he couldn't stop but keep on gazing on her.



He couldn't resist the cleavage which showed off her bright skin.



"Hello handsome", Emily broke the silence with her soft words as he went over to Richard.



"Hello beautiful", Richard replied her, taking her hand and kissing her knuckles, his eyes still fixed on her beautiful face.



"Would you join me as we welcome our guest?", He said with her hands still in his hands.



"After you my Lord", Emily said as she held her dress and knelt slightly in the air.
