Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0012

I was laying out a tray of cheese and meats on the ottoman in my walk–in closet when I was alerted to a presence at my front door by the security camera app installed on my phone. I took a quick look, and a smile stretched across my face when I saw that it was Viona and Amber, each carrying two bottles of wine. I rushed off to answer the door.

“Hey, girls!” I said as I opened the door.

I was answered by a chorus of squeals that made me want to laugh and plug my ears at the same time.

“Woah, take it down a pitch,” I said, stepping aside to let them in.

“Sorry, sorry,” Viona said as she pranced inside. “We’re a bit excited, that’s all.”

“It’s just been so long since all three of us got together like this,” Amber added.

“I know,” I said, feeling a bit guilty for not making more time for my friends. I had been so focused on trying to make Noah happy that all the other aspects of my life had been pushed to the side. No more. 1 “Come on,” I continued, motioning for them to follow me. “Everything’s already set up in my closet.”

“So,” Viona said as we entered my closet, “what kind of dress code are we dealing with for this charity ball?”

“Formal, definitely,” I replied.

Viona and Amber set the wine bottles next to the ottoman and started circling my closet, searching for an appropriate dress.

“So, what….schoolmarm?” Amber ran her hand down one of my more conservative, long–sleeved, long- skirted dresses.

I shivered.

“Ew. No, definitely not. Just…elegant and sophisticated, but definitely not boring.”

“So, you want to make a statement without looking slutty?” Viona pulled out a low–back, sequined red number that I had worn maybe twice the entire time that I had owned it.

I shook my head, gesturing for her to put the dress back. She pouted but put the dress back on the rack.

“That’s the general idea,” I said, regarding her statement. “There are going to be a lot of movers and shakers at this ball, so I want to dress to impress.”

Amber chuckled as she poured us each some wine.

“Dress to impress.‘ That’s a phrase that I haven’t heard in a minute,” she said,

I stuck my tongue out at her but accepted the glass of wine, nonetheless.

“I wonder who else is going to be there,” Viona remarked. She looked at me pointedly. “twonder if Zoe will be there.”
