Iris's POV
I just finished having my bath and wearing the baggy clothes that Prince Rupert gave to me, I tied my hair in a Ponytail, ready to eat when I heard the doorbell.
"Who could that be?"
"You should go find out.'' Sally replied to me, I sighed walking sluggishly towards the entrance, I hope Rupert is not the one at the door, I am still feeling embarrassed with what I said to him and how I shamelessly kissed him and to crown it all, Sally didn't stop teasing me.
"Move faster, the person must be thinking that you are not home.'
"Who will even want to visit me?"
"Stop overthinking, it's not Hot chocolate and a mixture of coffee." I rolled my eyes at Sally as if she could see me, I increased my step, pulling the door, I could see Ariana, she was the one ringing and was leaving when no reply came.
"Ariana!" She turned
"Oh dear, I was really scared that something had happened to you when you didn't take the door.'
"What could have happened to me when I was under the roof of Rupert?" I pulled the door for her to come in.
"Hm! You trust Rupert to always come through for you."
"Of course, did you know your brother is a superhero, he is my Superman."
"I guess you should say super hybrid." I tittered at Ariana's words.
"What brings you here?"
"I was getting bored at home since Mason is not around..."
"Where did he go?" I know I can't ask about Rupert, but if I do this young lady is not going to tell me, it seems no one wants to tell me details about Rupert and I am not going to force them, nor even Campbell who is now my friend. Here have this, I was about to have breakfast when you arrived.
"Oh, so thoughtful of you, I haven't had my breakfast this morning." She sipped on the tea, I parted my lips to ask about Mason again but she beat me to it. "The thing is, alpha Oscar will be stepping down from the post of alpha soon and he is to pick one of his sons to be the next alpha, since he had three sons, they are all supposed to go for the alpha training and pick who they wish to be their beta, to go with them and Mason was pick by Rupert, they have been friends from childhood and Mason happens to be the son of the pack beta."
"Oh! What about Campbell, did he also..."
'No, he still hasn't gotten his wolf and he is not even interested in becoming an alpha.'
"Really?"
"Yes, Campbell loves to live a quiet life with friends and family, he is kind too unlike Russel, who is hungry for power."
"Another Damien!" I sighed as my thoughts wandered to Damien and that stupid Hilary who betrayed me all because of power.
"Are you alright?" Ariana pulled me from my thoughts, I gave a small smile as I tried to unclench my fist that I had clenched as soon as their thoughts came into my mind.
"It's fine, just remembered some really bad situation, but it's fine, as long I am with Rupert."
"Hm! Someone is crushing on my cousin."
"Of course not, I can't fall in love with your cousin."
"Is it because of his scary face?" I stared at Ariana, she too stared at me back waiting for an answer.
"No, I have no business with his face, is just that, he is too rigid and I don't like rigid old men." Ariana tittered, I pinned my lips together feeling embarrassed. Stop laughing.
"Sorry, it's just that you are fun, he is only nineteen and he is not like other vampires that have lived for thousands of years, his vampire is as old as him while his wolf is just four but it's cool, I bet his wolf love your wolf, did you know his wolf scent is very alluring and I bet, it will smell nicer if it's perceived by his mate."
"Hasn't he already met his mate? Is that girl at the training ground his mate? Did she..."
"Iris, he doesn't have a mate."
Even though I know she is lying and that Rupert hasn't found his mate, my wolf gets excited and I too unknowingly am happy that he is without a mate, little smile creeps into my face, and Ariana just sits in front of me, then again I notice that she is looking at me suspiciously. "Uh..."
"It's fine, now that Rupert is not around, I think we should use the time to change your wardrobe."
"Uh!"
"Come on, I hate these things you wear, I don't know why Rupert asked you to wear these, he is not the type that likes this type of outfits for girls, he found them weird, anyways let's use the opportunity to give you a good body treats and your long hair will look lovely if it's curled, with some nice bodycon wears, don't worry I got you."
As much as I don't want to go with Ariana and not disobey Rupert, I still want to look good, I missed dressing up, my mother had always told me that part of the beauty of a woman lies in her wears.
"Come on, don't be like that, let me have the honor of giving you a makeover and you could wear it when we attend the tournament."
"I am not invited."
"Don't be silly every member of the pack is invited especially those related to the royal family."
"But I am..."
"Stop it, you are Campbell's friend, and anything he says, alpha Oscar doesn't go against it, I will make sure he defends you, you should and Campbell likes you as a sister and he is going to protect you, come on, let's go shopping today."
"Today, like now."
"Of course, I will have the driver take us to the city, the city has lovely wears, we should visit one of those popular malls in the city, although it will take us three to four hours it's perfect if we can't return today, we will return tomorrow."
"But..."
"Wait let me make reservations, so we can shop there and we could have a beauty spa, I missed it." Ariana didn't even wait for me to accept or reject it, she just went on and placed a reservation, and then she called for the driver, and in no time, the driver was there.
"Come on!!!"
"That was fast."
"Of course, I wanted it fast before you changed your mind, you should know that I don't give room for no as an answer."
I find myself tittering although I know that, I am going to get into trouble with Rupert, but what do I care, I need a little makeover, as we sit in the car, Ariana couldn't stop talking about manicures and pedicures that we could do and she can't stop talking about how beautiful I will look, I didn't remember the last time, I had look at the mirror. Then my thoughts wandered to Rupert, what if he threw me out because I was stubborn?
"Stop thinking Rupert will throw you out because you are stubborn.'
"What? Did she just read my mind? How did you know that is what I was thinking? Do you?" She hasn't replied to me when Rupert's mind links me.
"Where are you?"
