Chapter 26

Zenovia

Drusilla was so startled that she too screamed, thinking that there was a bug or something around her, and swatted her hands wildly.

“Drusilla, what did you do?” I asked, staring at my reflection in shock.

“What? What did I do?” she hurriedly came over to me and placed her hands on my shoulders.

“That does not look like me,” I said, and she only slapped my shoulder lightly.

“God, you scared me”

1 felt tears brimming in my eyes as I looked at her. “Thank you”

She placed her chin on my head and replied, “You worked hard for the event. You deserve some pampering”

For a good five minutes, I had trouble believing that the reflection staring back at me was indeed mine.

It seemed like Drusilla had waved some wand over me and turned me into a beautiful princess. She had chosen an off shoulder dress with a deep neckline that gave some bounce to my breasts. The gown hugged my body up to the waist before flaring down the knees a little.

There were beads and small flowers running through the neckline and a delicate lace pattern that ran along the waistline.

My hair was curled a bit, giving them a bounce as they fell gracefully on my shoulders. She had only put on light make up but I had never looked this pretty in my life.

“You look amazing, Zen.” She breathed, and I quirked an eyebrow.

“Zen? I like that name,” she giggled and replied. “Ok now you go out and slay the event. Who knows, maybe you will find your mate too today.”

She wriggled her eyebrows, and I only tried hard not to blush. At least, somebody was holding hope for me despite knowing that I was wolfless.

Drusilla turned to walk out of the room, but she bumped into something or someone.

“Ouch,” she rubbed her forehead and looked up to see Elijah.

“Don’t you have eyes?” she asked with a scowl, but his eyes were fixated on me.

For a moment he said nothing and ran his eyes from my feet up to my face before letting out a breath.

“Wow”

He muttered, and I tried not to blush.
