The Alpha's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 584: A DRESS TO KILL

Their eyes were on me, filled with shock as soon as I stepped out of the wash room.

”WOW.” Both women said in unison, their hands on their mouth.

I became a bit tensed and worried.

I looked down at the dress and around myself.

”Is something wrong with it?” I asked feeling insecure. ”I’ve never worn something like this before and-

”No no no no.” Hildegard and Nanny Nia said quickly as they rushed up to me.

”Wrong with it?” Nanny Nia gasped. ”You look beautiful.”

”Really?” I said with a raised brow. ”You always try to make me feel better. Is that what you’re trying to do right now?”

”Hildegard tell her the truth.” Nanny Nia said turning to Hildegard. ”She thinks I’m only making her feel better.”

Hildegard took my hand. ”I think you need to see for yourself.”

Hildegard led me to the massive golden carved full length mirror in the room.

What I saw had me lost for words.

”Oh my Goddess.” I managed.

In the mirror I stood with a vibrant red dress that heightened my curves in a way I had never imagined.

She-wolves who fought would usually wear leather pants and tops during training or whenever they went for attacks.

It was the only way to actually see a woman’s curves.

As for dresses, dresses came full, long and flowing

This was the first time I had ever seen anyone’s curves in such a way talk less of mine.

The dress was smug on my body as though it were a second skin.

The red on the fabric matched with my skin complexion and seemed to even brighten me up.

The shape of a love at the top bodice expertly held my breasts even though I had never worn it before, even though Hildegard had never taken any measurements before hand.

I turned around and the back was low to my waist line in the form of a perfect V.

I had always been insecure of my curves wanting to be skinny, but seeing myself in front of the mirror, I fell in love.

Hildegard and Nanny Nia came to stand behind me.

”We told you.” Nanny Nia said. ”There is no one that looks like you.”

”This is too beautiful.” I managed.

”Nothing is too good for the most beautiful girl in the world.” Hildegard said with a smile. ”Jasmine there is just something about you. You seem to pull everyone to you. It’s as though.... I can’t place a finger. But from the moment I met you, I’ve always known you to be special.”

The tears at the far corner of my eyes tickled my eyes.

”Don’t make me cry.” I complained.

And we all laughed.

”So this is what you would wear to Auburn’s debut shifting.” Hildegard said as she snooped around the tale of the dress.

”This is beautiful. But I can’t wear this.” I said quickly.

”You are going to turn down all the hard work I poured into this?” Hildegard asked disapprovingly.

”No.” I said quickly.

”So you don’t like it?” Hildegard asked.

I was being placed in a very tight spot.

”No of course not. I love it.” I said as I cleaned off the imaginary wrinkles on my dress. ”It’s just. This isn’t who I am. I’m not of that status.”

”And I gave you a speech already.” Nanny Nia said. ”You are who you want to become. Stop denying yourself any pleasure.”

”Won’t this drag attention?” I asked worried.

Both women turned to each other and burst out laughing.

”What’s funny?”

”Well that’s the point. To be the eyes and the most beautiful woman in that event.” Nanny Nia said.

”I second guess that.” Hildegard winked at her friend.

Dragging attention was the last thing I wanted for myself.

Especially after what had happened with the King and Princess Cherry.

It would make them remember how I had caught them.

I shivered.

”Moreover even if I don’t give you this dress, who do you think I’ll give? Belle? Coral?” Hildegard rose a brow.

”Maybe Princess Auburn herself?” Nanny Nia whispered and both women giggled.

”Or dare I say, Cherry the great?” Hildegard asked and the two of them burst into laughter.

I could now tell that both older women didn’t like the women of the royal family.

Well, except the Queen herself.

”You know I just have this urge and belief that if Scarlett had survived, her daughters and lineage would have been entirely different from what we have now.” Hildegard said with a sad sigh. ”Scarlett when growing up was the sweetest and happiest child you would ever see. Her soul was just pure. It’s a pity what happened to her.”

The atmosphere went chill.

I myself now wondered what this late Princess everyone had something good to say about would have been like.

”You know Jasmine was asking earlier on if Coral and the King were friends.” Nanny Nia said changing the topic and shifting the atmosphere.

”Good goddess no.” Hildegard gasped her hand on her chest. ”Why the devil would you even think such a thing?”

I shrugged. ”Nothing. Was just curious. So they aren’t?”

”Sworn enemies. She was a jilted bride and he was the one who married her sister. Those two would never share the same space if it was possible.” Hildegard said with a snort ”Could never even stand the sight of each other.”

So why were they having an affair?

Nothing absolutely made any sense.

I couldn’t tell Nanny Nia or Hildegard what I knew.

I didn’t want to put them in trouble neither did I want them to think I was insane.

It was most likely I would carry this information to the grave myself.

”I wanted to ask you something.” I said once I remembered. ”Lady Hildegard, what do you know about Sirens?”

”Sirens?” She said confused.

”Yes. I read a book about them wondering if they were real.” I said trying to cover up my tracks.

She sighed heavily. ”Sirens are dangerous. We believe they killed Princess Scarlett.”
