Nina

"Nina," my mother said, approaching me just as I was beginning to ascent the stairs to my room, "don't forget you're going to need a gown for the gala."

I frowned and stopped on the stairs. "Couldn't I just wear the one that I wore to the last party?"

My mother chuckled, linking her arm with mine. We ascended the stairs together as she began to explain. "Honey, this gala is a big deal," she said. "You're the Alpha King's daughter. You need something special."

As we walked into my room, I let out a sigh and sat down on the edge of my bed. "How do you even know so much about this festival, mom?" I found myself asking. "I thought you were just a blind as I've been to all of these traditions."

My mother let out a sigh as she flung the doors of my walk-in closet open and began rifling through the racks.

"I was," she said. "But I've been living here with your father consistently for the past six months. I've learned a thing or two."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Living here," I teased. "Just admit it, mom. You and my biological dad are in love."

Her face turned a bright shade of red, but she said nothing. She pulled out an elegant black dress and held it up to the light, then shook her head, muttering under her breath.

I didn't want to say anything. Most of those dresses belonged to Selena, and they had been passed onto me. It felt strange wearing them, but I chose not to be vocal about it. They were just dresses, right?

Finally, I pointed out a simple red dress. "How about that one?" I asked. "That's pretty."

My mother paused as she looked at the dress. The fabric was silky, and the silhouette would fall close to my body. Finally, she shook her head.
