Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper
Chapter 54
Chapter 54 Banquet
CA SSANDRA
I’d been apprehensive at the idea of attending the banquet that evening, but the king of Yurene had been insistent upon me joining them. I’d provided excuse after excuse, but they did me no good. The man was simply not taking no for an
answer.
So, I thanked him for the invitation and immediately headed back to my room to figure out what I would wear to such an occasion.
Back in Wild Crawler, I’d never attended banquets or fine events. Our lifestyle there was much more rugged and simple, so I didn’t have much in the way of fancy clothing.
Erika seemed surprised when I returned to my chambers and explained the situation to her.
“That’s wonderful that you were invited, Ca ssandra,” she said, and then her eyebrows creased together. “Hmm. I wonder what you will wear…”
“That’s my problem,” I replied, and a lump formed in my throat. “I don’t own anything acceptable enough to attend a banquet.“
Suddenly, the maid’s eyes glimmered and she flashed me an excited smile.
“Hold on,” she said mysteriously. “I have an idea.”
Before I could stop her, she’d snuck out of the room and disappeared for a while. When she returned, she had a dress bag in her hands.
“Let’s get you ready,” she announced.
We spent the rest of the evening primping and prepping me. Erika’s hands were steady and she managed to turn my hair from wild to sleek and shiny. She carefully
curled it so it fell in soft waves to my waist and then secured a section of it with a jeweled comb.
Once my hair was sorted, she helped me apply a touch of makeup. I was a little terrified at first, but Erika was very talented. She lined my eyes lightly with eyeliner and applied a rich black mascara that made my lashes long and lustrous. She also added a touch of cre amy blush that brought color back to my cheeks and a touch of pearlescent shimmer to my eyelids.
The maid finished off the look with a soft lipstick that didn’t make me feel too foolish, and when she held the mirror to my face, a gasp escaped me.
