    Chapter 28 – Celeste


    Celeste P.O.V.


    “How can you guys go 19 years without doing hair and make-up?” Kelly asked as she went over to the


    little make-shift make-up table. Maya and I looked at each other. We really liked Kelly, but Markus had


    asked that we tell no one what happened until everything


    came to light.


    “We were omegas. We didn’t get paid much,” Maya said. It wasn’t a lie per se.


    “Well, you’re just going to have to learn quicker. The Luna ceremony brings a lot of people in. I will


    need to look my best so I can’t spend the whole day getting you ready. I need to look good when I meet


    my mate too,” she said. Maya and I both blushed. Kelly noticed and her face fell. “I’m sorry. I didn’t


    mean it how it sounded. I really like spending time with you guys, I am just a bad teacher and I get


    frustrated.”


    I gave her a small smile, “We appreciate all that you’ve taught us.”


    Suddenly, her face lit up. “Sephora has sses that teach you about what make-up works best for you.


    I will sign all three of us up. It


    will be lots of fun,” Maya and I agreed.


    We were getting ready for the dinner before the full moon run. I had argued that we didn’t need to go all


    out because we were going


    to get naked and shift after, but Kelly said this was the first time I would be presented as the future


    Luna, so I needed to look my best.


    I mostly wanted to have a chance to let Kara run free. We still hadn’t been able to. Dr. West said it was


    better if I gained some weight


    first. I had argued that I had a handful of times before already, but he said I had never run before. I


    reluctantly agreed. I wanted Kara to


    meet As. Since we hadn’tpleted the mating yet, they couldn’t talk to each other. It made it that


    much harder to keep my own hormones in check while our wolves were pushing us to mark each other.


    I had told Kara that I was ready, but that we needed to find the


    right moment.

    Kelly spent a long time on my hair. She had wanted to tame the curls but then gave up when they were


    not cooperating. Instead, she added a bunch of stones to my hair. They sparkled when I moved. I was


    wearing a silver and ck gown. It had a portrait top in ck corset with silver waning crescent moons


    delicately embroidered throughout. The skirting of the gown was a shimmering delicate silver fabric that


    went down to my feet. She’d managed to gather my curls back neatly and fastened it in a half crown


    with a silver barrette. The


    rest of my hair was flowing down to my butt. I had never been able to do much to my hair except braid


    it or hand it in a pony tail, so I was


    quite impressed at the pretty yet simple do. I had smoky grey eyeshadow with a hint of blue. It made


    my eyes strikingly blue. She’d


    paired it with pink tinted lip gloss.


    She was wearing a red sweetheart dress with matching red lipstick and a beautiful ombre eyeshadow


    look. Her hair was gathered up


    in swirls. Maya was wearing a baby blue princess cut dress. Her make-up was earthy neutral


    eyeshadows with soft pink shimmery


    lipstick.


    “Damn, I’m good,” Kelly said as we all looked into the mirror together. I had to admit, she was good. I


    never thought I could look like


    that.


    “Well, time to go girls. Gillian just told me everyone is waiting for us.” She grabbed us by the hand and


    pulled us towards the staircase.


    “Wait!” Maya said, “I don’t have my shoes. You go ahead, I’ll catch up.”


    We headed down the stairs and out the back door. Past the back gardens was a tform that looked


    down onto a field that led to


    the woods. It was currently littered with tables filled with food. I was to be introduced and then we would


    have dinner with the Pack


    before the run. Kelly led me towards the tform where I could see Markus’ back to us. He turned to


    look at me, hearing our steps. His


    mouth opened when his eyes locked on mine. I blushed as I felt his eyes roam my body. The dress


    wasn’t very revealing, but I felt naked


    under his gaze.


    That’s probably because he’s undressing us with his eyes –


    Kara smirked.


    “You’re so beautiful.”


    “You’re looking very handsome yourself. That suit matches your eyes perfectly,” I said, noticing how his


    Armani grey suit enhanced the color in his eyes. You could tell it was perfectly tailored to his body.


    “Where is Maya? I am introducing her first.”


    “Alpha! I’m here!” I heard Maya breathless as she reached us.


    “Stay here. I will call you up,” Markus said to both of us. The moon was starting to peek out.


    “Wee to the monthly full moon gathering. As is the custom, we will be having dinner momentarily,


    however I have a couple of announcements first. I would like to introduce you to two new members of


    the pack. The first is Maya. She joined us about a month ago. Some of you may have seen her around


    the Packhouse as she has been a guest there until she limates into our pack. Please help me


    wee Maya to the Crescent Moon Pack!” He said and motioned for Maya toe forward. I


    squeezed her hand in encouragement as !


    nudged her forward to the edge of the tform. There was a lot of pping and wees when I


    suddenly felt Maya stiffen. I saw her


    mouth move and then I heard a growl as someone jumped up to the tform and growled, “Mine.”


    Igasped as I realized it was Danny that was standing in front of her.
