The Alpha

Chapter 24

Scarlet's POV

A few hours later I find myself in the penthouse with the stylist that Ethan hired to help me get ready.

"That should do it," she says after she's finished applying my make-up.

"Thank you so much Gretchen," I tell her with a smile.

"Honestly, you made it way too easy on me," she responds with a laugh before she begins packing up

all her supplies.

I stand up from my seat and walk over to the full-length mirror that is in the closet. My eyes are smoky

and my lips are a cherry red, glistening with a glossy shine. My dress is a gorgeous, white lace number

that goes to just above my knees, hugging all my curves. The sleeves are made of lace and it has an

open back. Nude pumps finish off the ensemble and I smile at what I see. I have never dressed this

fancy before, but my confidence seems to have doubled because of it.

Leaving the room, I find my guards waiting for me in the hall to escort me down to Ethan's office where

he is finishing up some work. I knock on the door before hearing is husky voice call out, "Come in!"

I open the door and step inside. The moment he sees me his eyes darken with lust as they slowly rake

over my body. My core instantly heats and I press my thighs together, feeling my cheeks blush. His

nostrils flare and I know that he can smell my arousal. He quickly strides over to me, his lips crashing

against mine as his arms wrap around my waist and pull me into him. The kiss is full of passion as his Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

lips press against mine, demanding access for his tongue. He plunders my mouth, tasting it and

moaning into me. He pulls away all too soon, leaving me utterly breathless and I stare up at him with

wide eyes. "You are absolutely breathtaking," he murmurs in my ear before placing his lips on my neck

where his mark should be.

I let out a gasp as he nips at it and he gives me a devilish smirk before pulling away. I shoot him a

playful glare as I swat his shoulder and he laughs at my expression. "Come on now. We don't want to

be late," I urge as I link an arm around his.

"Yes ma'am," he responds teasingly with a grin as we turn to head out. Both Levi and Tony are with us

and they are smirking at us after that little show. I flush again and shake my head as we walk out and

down to the lobby to meet Alpha Lucien and his pack. A few minutes later Caleb escorts the Silver

Shadow Pack into the lobby and we head into Della Luna. "You will be sitting to my right at the table,"

Ethan says softly as he leans toward me.

"Are you sure that's okay? That's typically where the Luna or Beta would sit," I whisper back.

"I haven't officially announced you yet, but my pack clearly sees you as its Luna anyway. Besides, I

want you beside me."

"As you wish Alpha," I respond back with a smirk and he reaches over and links his fingers with mine

as we reach the restaurant. He pulls my hand to his lips and lightly kisses my knuckles before leading

me through the double doors. I admit, I'm quite nervous about tonight. Not only is that bitch Nicole

going to be here, but all the Alphas from our allied packs were also invited along with their Lunas,

Betas, and Betas' mates. Luckily, all of Ethan's siblings will also be in attendance.

We are instantly greeted by a middle-aged man dressed in a nice suit. "Good evening Alpha, Lu- er,

Scarlet," he replies with a welcoming smile.

"Good evening Rafael. May I introduce you to are esteemed guest Alpha Lucien of the Silver Shadow

Pack."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Alpha Lucien! I do hope you enjoy your dinner! Staff will be out shortly with

trays of antipasto and will be taking drink orders," Rafael states as he gestures into the main dining

area where several staff members are standing at attention ready to serve us.
