8 Chapter 8 The Alpha's Coming Back Tomorrow ? Caroline's POV After work , Eleanor was waiting for me at the door , with Liam settled in his car seat in the back . We had planned to go to the mall to buy the things he would need for daycare . " Bestie ! How was your first day ? Tell me everything ! " she said cheerfully , with a huge smile , her brown eyes sparkling with excitement . " Elle , I think I'll have to call your uncle and ask for my job back , " I said somewhat sadly , Rory whining inside me with disappointment . Eleanor looked at me in shock . 1 " No way , Caroline ! Did you manage to get fired on your first day ? Tell me everything ." I smiled and told her everything . By the time she turned off the truck in the mall parking lot , she was laughing hysterically at my situation . " Carrie , only you could get into an argument like that with the Alpha . You know he's super young , right ?! " I looked at her like I'd just seen a unicorn and asked , " What do you mean , young ? " " Oh Carrie , didn't you research your boss online ? The mighty Alpha of Storm Valley Pack isn't exactly low profile ." " No , Elle , I went on the company website and read everything , but there's no photo or any reference to his age on the site ." " And you didn't check social media ? " " Elle , I don't have social media . " " Oh right . Well , let me tell you about your young , successful Alpha . They say he's incredibly handsome , with countless she - wolves throwing themselves at him . But he still hasn't chosen a Luna . " She nudged me with her shoulder . " What does that have to do with me ? " I asked , confused . " Is his bad temper because he's mateless ? " Eleanor laughed . " It has everything to do with you . As his assistant , you might have to fend off all his admirers . And besides ... " she paused with a mischievous smile , " you're so beautiful , if you became his Luna , you wouldn't have to worry about getting fired . " I smacked her arm , my cheeks burning with embarrassment and anger . " Elle , I'm serious ! " While helping Liam out of his car seat , she chuckled , " Alright , alright . Don't worry , Carrie . If you get fired , I'll help you out until you find another job here ." We got into the mall . We bought everything Liam would need and took him to the toy store . I wanted to spoil my son a little and buy him a toy . He ran through the whole store but latched onto a building set and wouldn't let go , so that's what I was going to get . His little face lit up with such joy that Rory purred with contentment . Of course , Eleanor bought him a toy too . As we walked through the mall , I stopped at a window display , staring at an absolutely gorgeous and extremely expensive dress . Eleanor noticed my eyes sparkling and said , " Come on , let's go in ." " Are you crazy , Elle ? That dress costs a fortune . I can't spend that kind of money ." 02 37 173 " Listen here , Caroline , have you forgotten that you now work at a multinational company run by an Alpha , directly with the pack leader himself , and need to dress well ? Besides , your boss will be impressed when he meets you wearing this dress . He'll think you're such an elegant assistant ! You can treat yourself too . And if you can't afford it , I'll get it for you ! " " No way , Elle ! You already do too much for me . " " Then go in and buy the dress , or I'll buy it myself and you'll have to wear it anyway . A Beta's daughter deserves to look her best . " I looked at her . " You know what , Elle ? You're right , let's go in ," We entered the store and were quickly greeted by a very friendly saleswoman . I pointed to the dress in the window , and she brought one in my size along with a pair of incredibly high heels , saying they would match perfectly . I went into the fitting room and changed . When I looked in the mirror , I was enchanted . The dress was even more beautiful than it appeared in the window - deep emerald green silk that flowed like water , with delicate gold threading along the sweetheart neckline . It hugged my curves perfectly before falling gracefully to my knees . A subtle slit revealed just enough leg to remain elegant . The heels were equally stunning , four - inch stilettos with thin gold straps and emerald details that made them irresistible . " Caroline , please hurry up , we can't wait to see ! " I heard Eleanor's excited voice from outside . I tore my eyes away from the mirror and stepped out of the fitting room . Elle and the saleswoman stared at me with their mouths literally hanging open . " By the Moon Goddess , there's no way you're not buying this dress and these shoes ! " Elle exclaimed , and the saleswoman chimed in , " It looks like they were made for you ! I've never seen a dress fit someone so perfectly ! You look stunning ! " I felt embarrassed and thanked them . I decided to buy both items and follow Eleanor's advice , who then insisted that I needed new lingerie to wear with them , declaring that I should debut them the day I met my boss to make an excellent first impression . The saleswoman quickly showed me the lingerie section , and I was shocked by the prices , but Eleanor didn't even let me catch my breath . She immediately grabbed an emerald lace set with gold details and a pair of sheer thigh - high stockings with delicate lace trim , saying it would be her gift and I wasn't allowed to complain. " A she - wolf needs to feel powerful , especially when facing an Alpha , " she whispered so only I could hear . The saleswoman smiled approvingly at my friend's choice and went to the counter to wrap everything up while we paid . Finally , she handed us a business card and told us to come back to the store again . We thanked her and left . Back home , I tucked an exhausted Liam into bed , watching him drift off while clutching his new teddy bear . His golden hair and peaceful violet eyes reminded me briefly of that life - changing night . In my room , I hung up the new dress and considered researching my mysterious boss online . Just then , my phone buzzed with a message : " Arriving tomorrow . We'll discuss your duties , and prepare the herb tea . " My heart sank . The Alpha was returning early - likely to fire me early . Rory whimpered in my mind , sharing my anxiety . 07.37 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
