“This gown is absolutely gorgeous, Serena. Don’t you think you’ve spent too much on it?” I asked, still in awe.
“It doesn’t matter,” She said with a playful wink. “I want you to look your best that night, okay?”
After a few hours of shopping, we also picked out a pair of heels and some accessories. By the time we were finished, it was already five in the afternoon, and we were both carrying an armful of bags. Despite the weight of the purchases, we laughed and chatted all the way back to the horse carriage, feeling lighthearted and content.
Once we settled inside, Serena suddenly tapped my lap excitedly, her face lit up with a playful grin. She giggled and pointed toward someone across the street. When I looked, I immediately realized why she acted that way.
Whom she saw was Evan Teal, the young Alpha of our pack.
As the horse carriage pulled away, Serena’s gaze remained fixed on Alpha Evan, her eyes following him until he disappeared from sight. Once he was out of view, she let out an excited screech, tapping my shoulder in giddy excitement, her cheeks flushed a deep red. I couldn’t help but smile at her. It may seem crazy to be so head over heels for an Alpha, but if this kind of craziness could make her happy, then I’d be right here, supporting her all the way.
“Did you see how striking our Alpha looked?! Dorothy, he is so damn handsome!” She gushed, her voice filled with admiration.
“Yeah, I saw him. No wonder you’re crushing so hard,” I teased. “But, come to think of it…”
Serena’s eyes widened with curiosity. “What?”
“Well, out of all the people in the town square, what are the odds you’d see the Alpha? Honestly, I think it’s the Moon Goddess giving you a sign that you and Alpha Evan are really meant to be,” I said, playfully fueling her daydreams.
Just as I expected, Serena let out another excited scream, clearly thrilled by the idea.
By the time we returned to the mansion, it was already evening. Serena helped me carry all the things she had bought for me to my room, and afterward, I resumed my duties as a maid. After dinner, I finished up my last tasks for the day and decided to take a nice, long bath. I changed into my pajamas, ready to settle in for an early night when I heard a soft knock on my door. I opened it to find Serena standing there, a cheeky grin on her face.
