Chapter 274
Marcella's POV
"So why have you goons called me here?" I'll ask, looking between Caleb and Vincent as we stand in their room. Davyna is asleep in the spare room for the time being. Declan has said she needs to rest as much as she can. and no one has opposed him.
Yesterday was quite the revelation, and now there are more plans in
motion. But first, we have to get through this ball.
"We wanted to show you the dress we picked out for Davyna." My eyes
widen.
"Why didn't you say so? Let me seeeeee!" I exclaim happily.
Vincent chuckles at my reaction, and heads over to the closet and pulls out a dress bag. He unzips the zipper and reveals the garment to me. My jaw drops.
"It's stunning you guys. She's going to look amazing!"
"Can you do her hair and makeup? We want her pampered!" I nod
excitedly. "Of course! Leave it to me!"
My heart warms at the smiles Ireceive from them both, It's been
amazing to see them focused on Davyna and her well being. They are
genuinely happy. I feel tears prick my eyes and they look at me with concerned faces. I hold my hand up
"Happy tears.. just happy tears." They place the dress back in the closet and embrace me.
"l am so happy for you two. You couldn't have found a better mate."
"Were pretty lucky." Caleb says and I hug them a little tighter
Davyna's POV
It's been such a boring past few days. Declan has kept up with the
barrier, but then keeps putting me to sleep right after. He said it's helping to not exert myself, so I've just been reading, eating and sleeping. Thankfully the pain has been bearable, but it's just so surreal all that was revealed to me just a few days ago. Vincent and Caleb didn't get to surprise me with the suite, but everything they did I definitely noticed. I was touched by the little shrine they made for my adoptive mother Klaire. It touched me to have her so close and included in my new life.
I'm currently more distracted by the fact that the coronation ball for Vincent and Caleb is tonight. Actually in a matter of hours. I'm so goddamn nervous about being introduced as their mate. Every single person in the compound is going to know now. I shudder. t doesn't ease my fears. Nothing has happened since I've come back, but Asher's warning still lingers in my mind.
l jump a bit as my bedroom door opens. Caleb, Vincent and Marcella pile in one after the other.
"How are you feeling love?" Vincent asks, coming over to kiss me gently.
"I feel strong. Whatever Declan's been doing, it's been working. I should get through tonight no problem"
"Good to hear. Marcella is going to help get you ready. We've got to go get ready ourselves, so we will see you at Bloodhaven okay?" Caleb states and I smile and nod
"See you there, you two." They both kiss me and then head out.
Marcella squeals in delight.
"l am so excited to get you all dolled up! Go get in the shower and make sure you're squeaky clean!!" I laugh.
"Okay, boss." I swing my legs over the edge of the bed and hop off, stretching and flexing my toes before I head into the bathroom. l undress, hop in and I scrub myself from head to toe. I make sure l'm cleanly shaven and then head out in my robe. I smile as I see that Sage has joined in on the fun
"Hey there best friend. Marcella went to start getting ready while I 'Hey there best friend. Marcella went to stat getting ready while I do your hair." She says to me and pats the seat to my vanity.
"Park your ass." I laugh and sit down. Sage runs her fingers through my wet curls, detanglling them. She then blow dries them and curls them into bigger ringlets. She artfully pins half of them up on my head, and leaves the rest cascading down my back. She leaves two pieces out to frame my face, and finally she places jeweled pins sporadically throughout the top of my head and sprays them in place. She stops and looks at me.
"This is from your stud muffins." She grabs a box off of the vanity and opens it and I can't help but gasp. In it are two ornate silver hairpins, one with blue crystals and one with amber ones, set in the leafy design, surrounded diamond encrusted ribbons.
"One for each of them." i pick them up and examine them. I run my fingers over the set stones in each pin, and think how well they will match my earrings I got for them before.
"They're beautiful." Sage takes them from me, and places them behind my ears on either side of my head. I turn my head from side to side and examine her work.
"This is amazing, Sage. Thank you"
"No need. You need to look beautiful tonight." She hugs me.
"I've gotta go get ready myself. Marcella will be back in a few to do your makeup." I nod and she leaves the room. I continue to admire her handiwork on my hair for a few moments and then the door opens again and Marcella enters.
My eyes widen as I take in her whole ensemble. She's wearing a
shimmering gold floor length gown, that has a beaded bustier with thin straps. Her blonde hair is curled and one side is slicked back and fastened with a large golden statement hairpin with rubies on it. Her makeup is smoky and golden, slightly cat eyed, and dark eyeliner with red lips. I can't see her shoes, but I can only imagine she's wearing heels
"You look amazing!" l exclaim and she smiles.
"Thank you. Sage did such a good job on your hair! I'm going to do your makeup now, and then we will get you in your dress."
I nod. "Sounds good to me."
I follow every instruction Marcella gives me. Look up, down, all around, blink, close, open. The list goes on. Finally she backs away from me.
"All finished!" Take a look in the bathroom." I stand and make my way to the mirror.
My eyes are sparkling with silver and black eye shadows, smoked out to the fullest extent. Dark eyeliner lines my lids and waterline adding to the smokiness. My complexion is perfectly even, foundation smooth and set into place. My lips are a dark berry colour. Everything is perfect, and I hardly even recognize myself.
"Marcella, this is stunning!" I say as l exit the bathroom. I stop dead in my tracks as I see the dress hanging near the closet. "Vincent and Caleb picked this." She says as she removes it off the hanger and hands it to me. I place it on the bed and head over to my dresser and pull out black lace lingerie. Marcella giggles. "A new set for the boys?" I roll my eyes and laugh. I walk behind the closet door and drop my robe, putting the lacy strapless bra and underwear on. I walk over and Marcella comes and unzips the back of my dress and I step into it. Once it's adjusted, she zips me up, adjusts my loose curls, and I run my hands down the dress as I head over to the full length mirror.
It's stunning. I can't even describe how perfect it fits, and the style shows off all my curves and of course Caleb and Vincent's marks on my neck are completely on display. It's a fitted strapless mermaid style, with silver fabric and crystal beading that covers the entire corseted top over my breasts, then curves down near my hips, and blends into the rest of the sparkling black fabric at the bottom.

The bottom of the dress
flares out behind me slightly. A little more cleavage then I like, but it's not terrible.
"You look great!" Marcella comes up behind me and drapes a black and silver diamond necklace around my neck. I put my black heels on and take another look at myself.
"Perfection. Caleb and Vincent are going to be shocked into silence." I laugh
"Yeah we will see about that."
