Sophia’s POV
We all ate lunch together then went back to our rooms to get some rest. I crash into the bed and let out a sigh.
“What’s wrong?” He asks crashing right next to me. I nuzzle my face into his neck taking in his scent.
“I’m scared for tonight,” I said, my breath wavering. He kisses my temple.
“Why? We’ll go to the ballroom. Walk down some stairs. Dance for a bit and then eat some food then we come back here and sleep.
“Well it’s the dancing that I’m worried about,” I told him. He sat up and looked at me and smiled while I fiddled with my fingers.
“Don’t you take lessons since your a Beta’s daughter?” He asks. I shake my head.
“I haven’t taken classes for awhile,” I said. He picks me up and throws me over his shoulder then sets me back down in the middle of the floor.
“What are you doing?” I ask him.
“We’re going to take a dancing lesson,” he says. He holds his hand out and I sheepishly take it. He starts dancing and I try to follow his footsteps. He moved swiftly while I just got in the way of his dancing.
“I’m going to fall tonight,” I mumble to myself. He spins me and I almost stumble backwards.
“This is useless,” I groan and take my hand away from Titus’ and collapse back onto the bed.
“You’ll get the hang of it,” he says. I change out of my dress and get into more comfortable clothes so I could sleep.
I turn off the lights and get int bed. I felt Titus’ hand wrap around my waist. He flipped me around and now I was facing him.
“Don’t stress out about tonight. You’ll be perfect,” he whispers. I nod and lean into his chest and take in his scent.
“Who is Brody and Jacob going to dance with?” I ask him.
“No one probably just pig out on the food,” he laugh. I remember that Brody does have a mate. Mommy sister.
“Did Brody tell you about his mate?” I ask. He nodded and I left the conversation there. My eyes became droopy and my mind drifted away.
“Baby you need to wake up it’s 4,” I heard Titus whisper. I groan and turn and face the other way.
“The ball is at 7:30,” he says again.
“Titus stop waking me up so late,” I said shooting up.
“You slept for two hours and I woke you up,” he said. I stretch my arms and let out a groan. I get up and look in the mirror. I look like shit.
“Which dress am I wearing tonight?” I ask Titus while I was going through my suitcase. I heard the closet door open and a bunch of plastic.
I turn and him holding the most beautiful dress I’ve ever see. The color and style of the dress was perfect.
“Is that for tonight?” I ask him. He nods and hangs it on the door.
“I shipped here a few days before so I wouldn’t get wrinkled in the suitcase. Also I don’t think it could have in it,” he chuckles. I get up and give him a big hug. My arms wrap around him and his arm wraps around my shoulder and his other hand held my head close to him.
“It’s perfect,” I whisper.
“I’m glad you like it.” He lets me go and I grab my curlers and straightener out of my bag. I plug them into the outlet and wait for them to heat up. I grab the chair and sit down
“Why do you need to straighten your hair before you re-curl your hair?” Titus asks. I point to my hair.
“If I curl my hair while I have my naturally un straight hair, it’ll look weird so I straighten it and re-curl it,” I explain. The red light stoped flashing letting me know that it was fully heated.
I take strands of hair one by one and straighten each uneven curl out of my hair. I see Titus taking a suit out if the closet.
I finish straightening my hair and unplug it then grab my curler and start re-curling my hair. I start curling the hair behind my head and I guess the curling wand got to close to my neck.
“Shit,” I said putting down the curling wand and covering the door where I burned my neck. Titus came over confused.
“What happened?” He asks me.
“I burned myself,” I said taking my hand off the spot. He moved my hair out of the way and touched the tender spot. He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on it. Tingles spread where or skin touched.
“Is it better?” He asks. I nod and pick the curling wand back up. He grabs it from my hand and shakes his head. “You can’t be trusted with this anymore.” He took a strand of hair and wrapped it around the wand.
“How do you know how to curl hair?” I ask him. He takes out the hair and lets it bounce. It was a perfect curl.
“My mom and dad never had time to help my sister when she was younger so I learned so I could do her hair,” he says and moved onto the strand.
While he finished up my hair, I started on my makeup. I did a simple eyeshadow that matched the blue of the dress and a light pink lipstick. I looked at the clock and it was 6:30.
“All finished,” he said taking the last strand of hair out of the wand. I unplug the wand and make my way to the dress.
“You need to help me put this on,” I said. He nods he helps me get in it. He messes with the back of the dress and the skirt falls off if it.
“I can fit it back on before we leave,” he says hanging the skirt up. I nod and go into the bathroom and buy a whole layer of hairspray on my hair.
Titus put the skirt back on and i grabbed my purse and we left to the balm room. There was a line outside of the door. Alphas and Lunas standing in pairs.
There was and announcer on the inside announcing our names. We stood at the top the stairs. The room was lowly lit and small lights hung from the ceiling. Food filled my senses as I inhaled.
“Introducing Alpha Titus with Luna Sophia,” the announcer announced. There was a round of applause and he held our hands out and walked down the stairs.
“Do not let me fall,” I whisper as we walked down. My heels made it difficult to walk down stairs and I was bound to fall.
We stood at the bottom while each name was called out until everyone was inside. Slow music started playing and Titus held out his hand to me.
I put my hand in his and he put his other hand on my waist and I set my arm on his shoulder.
“I’m going to embarrass myself,” I whisper to him. He shakes his head and starts moving with ease.
“Just follow my footsteps,” he says. The familiar sparks go through our hands and arms. I was getting the hand of it by the end of the song, everyone relaxed now that the first dance was over.
We all sparked conversations in the middle of the room Terry and James stayed away and we had a good laugh with Alpha Liam and Luna Lily.
We found Titus’ sister, Sienna and her mate Alpha Kian. I got to know her better than we all went and got something to eat. Everyone’s dresses were beautiful. We found Brody and Jacob and Titus was right. They were pigging out on the food.
“You look pretty,” Jacob complimented. Brody agreed and I felt Titus’ arm wrapped tighter around my waist.
“Here,” he said holding a fork of food to my mouth. I gave up on fighting him and just ate it. It was an overall great night and we all had fun.
