Whitney’s p. o. v
“It’s done.” I said happily.
She opened her eyes then smiled at me.
“Can I see myself in the mirror?” She asked.
“Of course dear.” I answered then took a step back for her to stand up.
She stood up from the bed and looked at her clothes for a second then frowned.
“What?” I asked quickly.
“Nothing.” She answered, then walked to the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror.
Her expression was serious and pale.
“What?” I asked in concern then walked to her and looked at the mirror too.
“I think I’m overdressed or something.” She answered in a low voice.
“What nonsense are you talking about? You look perfect.” I said with a wide smile.
She turned and looked at me sadly.
“Are you sure?” She asked.
“Of course.” I answered then cursed when a loud knock came through.
“Obviously it’s them.” I said then walked to the door and opened it.
A she-wolf stood there with her gaze lowered to the ground. She was putting on a short shirt and braless blouse. Her shirt was tied in a ponytail and I hated everything about her but decided not to show it.
“What do you want?” I asked seriously.
When she looked up I raised a brow.
I remembered her very well. She was the she-wolf who was in Ibuk’s bedroom trying to win his favor. If not for me stepping in she would have been either hurt or dead by now.
“I only came to ask on behalf of the twin warriors if their mate was ready.” She answered.
“Oh, yeah she is. Lexi.” I called loudly.
“Coming.” She answered and then walked to where we were.
When Lexi stood by my side she gasped loudly then quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
Her actions were offensive and annoying.
I pressed my hand on her shoulder squeezing it.
She dropped her hand and flinched.
“Is there something surprising here?” I asked seriously.
“Um…..”
“Weigh your words well before you speak, I hate lies.” I spat, cutting her sentence off.
She forced a smile on her face and nodded.
“Um, why does she look this horrible?. Was she in a rush or something?” She asked loudly.
Horrible!. Who was she talking about?. Was she referring to Lexi?.
“Do you mean me?” Lexi asked on top of her voice.
“Yes, you look like a dead person or a freaking zombie. Who did this shitty make up!. Was it you?” She asked back in almost a scream leaving us speechless.
Lexi lifted her finger and pointed at herself as if to make sure again that she was talking about her.
“Yes you.” She answered again.
“Shitty makeup?” I asked in disbelief.
“Very shitty. My goodness, your powder and foundation is way too much, it’s also not for your skin tone. Your makeup doesn’t compliment your clothes and your hair is a total mess. When the twin warriors were bragging on how sexy you would look, every male in our territory got interested to see you, but now look at yourself. Why are you in a flared pink dress which hides your structure?. The dress is stupid and plain.” She answered with emphasis.
I stood there not knowing what to say. Everything looked perfect to me. It wasn’t my style that I knew, but I thought it looked good on her.
“You are going out on a date with your mates right?” She asked.
“Yes.” Lexi answered in a low voice.
“Alright, do you still have time?” She asked.
“Um.. I don’t know.” Lexi answered.
“She has about an hour.” I said seriously.
I wanted her to help Lexi dress up if she had experience. I didn’t want anyone to laugh or mock her because of me.
“Good, that’s more than enough. If you don’t mind, allow me to fix your clothes, hair and make up.” She said.
“Thank you but… this outfit and makeup was fixed by my mother. You may not like it but I do.” She answered, shocking me.
“Mo.. mother?” I asked in a cracked voice.
“Yes, is it a problem if I call you that?” She asked seriously.
“No!. Of course not.” I answered with a rapid beating heart.
It was very sudden being called that, I couldn’t even breathe calmly.
She giggled then held my hand in hers.
“So you won’t accept my help?” The she-wolf asked with widened eyes.
“She will. I want her to look like a princess yet at the same time sexy. Please help me fix my errors. You see, this child is too kind and always wants to put me and my mate first, that’s why she was willing to reject your help.” I answered.
“Awe, leave everything to me, I’ll make sure she sparkles.” She said then walked past us and went in.
“Are you really okay with her doing my hair and make up?” Lexi asked softly.
“Of course, so don’t worry.” I answered.
She smiled then turned and went to the dressing table.
I closed the door behind me and went to sit on the bed.
“Dear, go and wash your face in the bathroom and remove those clothes. Just wrap a towel around your waist when you want to come out.” She said.
“Okay.” Lexi answered then went to the bathroom and got in.
“Did you buy all these?” The she-wolf asked while pointing at the full make up kit on the bed.
“Yes. I went into town very early in the morning to search for a few make up tools I could use to doll her up and someone recommended getting the full makeup kit.” I answered.
“Well this make up kit is the real deal, it won’t take long to doll her up.” She said then moved and picked up the kit.
“Should I wash my hair too?” Lexi asked immediately when she came out.
“No, you just come and sit here.” She answered as Lexi did as instructed.
I watched carefully as she began putting makeup on her face.
She was so focused and very serious as she applied a few lotions and powders I didn’t even know.
After an hour or so, she went on to do her hair. When she was done with her hair, she quickly rushed to the wardrobe to pick her clothes.
While she browsed through the clothes my gaze was stuck on Lexi. I was stunned at how beautiful she looked. She wasn’t dressed yet but her face already looked too beautiful.
I now realized my mistake. I made her into a clown and she was willing to walk out just like that. She truly loved and respected me.
