Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 94

I was lost in my own thoughts as I looked at the five beautiful dresses that were hanging in front of me. I felt different this morning, but I couldn't pinpoint it. I had more energy than usual and even went down to the Castle's gym to run a few miles. That wasn't enough, so I hopped onto the elliptical and did that for another forty-five minutes. I even managed to lift some weights while there. Even after all of that, I still was not tired, worn out, or even a little bit exhausted. I just felt rejuvenated.

"How's it coming in there?" The soft feminine voice sounded so far away. She wasn't distant though, she was just on the other side of the door.

I rested my hand on my stomach and turned sideways, looking at my nearly naked self in the mirror. Couldn't be, could it? Doesn't pregnancy make you feel exhausted?

"We aren't pregnant. I don't think. I feel energized too. I think it has something to do with our magic and just being around all of this magic." Charlotte commented in my mind. I could feel her looking at us through our eyes in the mirror.

She must have counted to sixty because she asked again. This time, bringing me back to reality."Your highness, is everything okay?"

"Oh, yes. I am sorry. I just can't decide which one I want to try first. They're all so very beautiful." I responded to her. I could sense that she thought I was fibbing, but I couldn't tell.

"What about the emerald green one? I think the color would compliment your skin beautifully. If you need any help with getting it on, let me know." She spoke to me through the door.

"Thank you, I appreciate it." I pulled the dress towards me, turning it around in my hand, looking it over. "I may need your help in just a moment."

I pulled the dress off of the hanger and stepped into it. I pulled it up to my waist and slid my arms into the lace sleeves with hints of sequins that made the dress sparkle under the lights. The lace was surprisingly comfortable, soft, and stretchy. It moved with my arm movements. The lace went into a deep v-neckline with a satin bottomskirt that had a high slit which stopped reaching mid thigh. I was in awe of the beauty of the dress, but thought it may be too risque for any occasion involving royals.

I pulled the curtain back and the sales associate stepped in with a warm and welcoming smile. She curtsied to me as I was holding up the dress. "Hello, thank you for your help."

"It is my pleasure, Queen Avalynn. May I say that I think this dress is absolutely perfect?" Her voice was soft and calming sounding. I smiled at her in the mirror as she pulled the materials of the dress together in the back, zipping the dress up. The zipper glided up the tracks easily, she moved to tuck the zipper in, hiding it.

Surprisingly, the dress fit my body perfectly, I would just need the correct undergarments to wear underneath it and the shoes to go with it. I was thinking maybe black or nude colored strappy high heels. "Should I show them?" I asked her.

"Yes, I believe they would love to see you in this." She smiled.

"Okay." I walked out of the room when she drew the curtain back. I walked down the hallway and into the room. My eyes landed on Everest and the hunger I saw flash through his eyes sent the butterflies fluttering through me.

"Wow." I heard him breathe.
