Chapter 26 Raven's POV " Raven , the Head Maid , someone called , snapping me out of my thoughts . Hooked up from the silverware I had been polishing , aheady knowing what this was about " The Luna requests your presence , " the maid said , her eyes apologetic . Esighed heavily and stood up , brushing my apron smooth . " Did she given any reason ? " " She just said you need to help her prepare for the panty . " I nodded and handed the cloth to another said . My stomach twisted with anxiety . I was tired - no , exhausted - but that wasn't the issue . Facing Olivia just hours before the party was something I wanted to avoid at all costs . As her personal maid , I had no choice . She wore the title of Luna well , at least on the outside . Inside ? She was as cold and calculating as ever , We walked in silence through the winding halls of the pack house e until we reached the double doors of the Luna's chamber . The maid gave me a small nod before slipping away . I took a breath before knocking lightly . " Come in , came Olivia's voice , sharp and commanding I stepped inside , the scent of her expensive perfumes already filling the air . Her dressing room looked like it had been ransacked - gowns hung over chairs , jewelry boxes lay open , and shoes were scattered across the plush carpet . " There you are , " she said , not bothering to turn around . She stood before her full - length mirror , wrapped in a silk robe , her blonde curls pinned back lazily . " Took you long enough . " " I came as soon as i was called ," I replied , keeping my tone as neutral as possible . Her eyes met mine in the mirror , and I could see the familiar flicker of disdain in them . " expect you to be quicker next time . Tonight is important , and can't be late because of your sluggishness ." I said nothing . It wasn't worth arguing . She turned and gestured toward the gowns laid out on the bed . " Help me choose . I can't decide between the midnight blue or the emerald green . " Both dresses were gorgeous . The blue was sleek and elegant , clinging to the curves with long sleeves and a high neckline adorned with silver embroidery . The green was bolder , with an open back , off - shoulder sleeves , and a gold - trimmed hem , " The blue would match the Alpha's suit , " I said after a moment , lifting it gently off the bed . Olivia looked thoughtful , then smirked . " Wes . I suppose you would notice that , Always paying close attention to my mate , aren't you ? " I scoffed at her words she was the one who took him , but I was too tired for that now just want to do my job and leave , and I forced myself not to react . held the gown out , and she finally nodded . " Fine . Let's go po with the blue I helped her slip out of her robe and into the dress , careful not to let the fabric wrinkle or snag . Her body was tense , her movements impatient " You're pulling too tight ," she snapped as I zipped the back " It needs to be snug so it fits property , " I murmured . She gave a soft scoff , then turned toward the mirror , smoothing the fabric over her hips . " Jewelry nest . Lay them all out . 1/3 Chapter 26 I walked to her armoire and opened the drawers , libing velvet cases and opening them to reveal necklaces , earrings , and bracelets that gleamed under the room's golden lighting , Farranged thems carefully on the vanity table . " Not that one , " she said as I picked up a sapphire necklace . " Il makes my neck look short . " I swapped it for a silver chain with a diamond teardrop " Too plain " Gold choker ? " Too heavy " I bit the inside of my cheek . " What about the pearl set with the matching earrings ? " She looked , tilted her head , then finally nodded . " Acceptable " fastened the necklace around her throat , my fingers brushing her skin , cold and smooth , I clipped the earrings in place and stepped back " There , " I said softly Olivia stood and admired herself in the mirror for a long moment . " Tix my hair , " she said finally . I moved to her vanity , took out the pins , and began reshaping her curls , brushing gently and re - pinning each lock in an elegant updo . Every few minutes , she would flinch or sigh dramatically . " You're tugging again ." " I'm being gentle . " and you know that " You always say that . Maybe your idea of gentle is just wrong ." And your own idea of a mate is also wrong I could see her facial expression changed , but she didn't say anything . I simply continued , plece by piece , until it was perfect . When I was finished , I sat the brush down . " Would you like your makeup done as well ? " " Obviously ." Would you want me to go there looking like you , she asked mockly but I didn't reply her I applied the foundation and highlighter , brushing soft strokes of blush onto her cheeks ? Then came the eyeliner , eyeshadow , and her favorite wine - red lipstick . She watched my every movement in the mirror , scrutinizing each detail . " My left eye looks darker than the right . " I leaned in and adjusted the shade . " Better ? " She gave a curt nod , but her eyes scanned me now instead of the mirror . " You're awfully quiet today . Not that I mind . It's just strange . You always have something to say when I insult you . " " There's no point , " I said , not looking at her . " Oh , there's always a point , " she purred , reaching out and liking a lock of my dark hair between her fingers .
