Chapter 6

• Maleah’s p.o.v.
• After I get out of the shower I wrap a towel around my body and a hair towel over my long violet auburn hair, I walk into my walk-in closet to pick out an outfit for dinner.
• I pick my favorite pant suit, a jumpsuit with spaghetti straps and wide legs and to top it off it has a cardigan with lapels. I own this in three different colors and I pick the light purple one for tonight’s dinner, finishing it off with sand colored four and a half inch high heeled shoes with an ankle strap.
• I place it on my bed before I sit down at my vanity table and I start with blow drying my hair until most of the water is gone, than I pull my hair into a high ponytail before braiding it.
• I dry of the remainder of the water from my body and apply lotion to my entire body before I put on a lace thong and bra in the same color as my pant suit, once I am done putting my underwear on I sit back down at my vanity table.
• I pick peach and brique as my eyeshadow colors and a black mascara, I chose a light peach colored lip-gloss.
• I slip into my jumpsuit as I hear a knock on the door, “I am almost done, Dad. I will be right down.” I say as I put on my cardigan and I sit down to put on my shoes, after closing the ankle straps I get up to head down the stairs.
• My phone starts buzzing as I reach the door and I look down to see I have gotten a message from Pauline, I read through the information she has found. Fortune is getting agitated the more I read and I decide to leave it for what it is, I will analyze it in the morning.
• “Fortune, let’s concentrate on tonight first. They will ask questions and I know Alpha Max will always do what he needs to do to get answers, I doubt his Sons are any different.” I tell her to make her calm down, we need to stay in control of our emotions and once I am certain Fortune has calmed down enough I walk out of my room.
• Dad is waiting at the bottom of the stairs and I see the surprise in his eyes when he looks at my hair, but instead of saying something he just smiles at me.
• We talk about my upcoming project; I have purchased a new boutique in the town of Albarr and I have a lot to do when it comes to the inside of the boutique. Albarr is known for their wealthy inhabitants and I know a boutique that carries my name will become a success, like every boutique I have bought in my career.
• The first boutique I bought was a boutique my Mother would drag me to, in hopes that I would suddenly start wearing dresses, but it only resulted in my love for fashion to become bigger.
• I talked to Dad about what I wanted to do and when the funds from my inheritance came in, Dad helped me with purchasing the boutique. He supported me with my new endeavor. I changed the interior of the boutique and I allowed Ariel, my Omega friend from our Pack, to sell her designs in the boutique, a way for her and her friends to have an extra income.
• It was after I purchased my eighth boutique I decided to do a little more research into the designers that get to use my boutiques.
• About three months after reopening the boutique, I received a message from a client from one of my other boutiques and I found out that the female who used my boutique wasn’t the designer, she was forcing an Omega to hand it over to her.
• I asked Pauline to investigate for me and soon found out what she did was pretty despicable.
• She was forcing an Omega to design clothes and other Omegas to make the clothes, before she would sell them in my boutique. She had been planning it for a long time and when I reopened the boutique she had more than enough clothing to put in my boutique, but I put a stop to her plans.
• Ever since then I do a major background check before I allow someone to sell their designs in my boutique and it has improved the lives of those designers and their employees.
• I have made a few changes for the use of my boutiques and one of those changes is a contract every designer has to sign, but I never asked Ariel to sign one. I never asked her because she is the only one I know for sure designs the clothes herself, I have spent quite a few hours growing up with Ariel drawing in the kitchen of the Pack-house and I loved every minute of it.
• Between the age of eight and thirteen I spend a huge amount of time in the Pack-house, but that might be a story about my life I will tell another time.
• Dad guides me up the steps to the Pack-house and I feel the same excitement I felt as a child walking into the Pack-house, I doubt it will ever change. I can’t wait to see Luna Elyse again, I have only had contact with her over the phone the past few years and I haven’t been home long enough to visit the Pack-house.
• I follow Dad up the stairs to the Alpha floor and I wonder what kind of questions I will need to answer, one of them I already know. Why did I hide the fact that I have a Lycan? I know I will tell them the truth and I know Dad, Alpha Max and Luna Elyse will understand why I didn’t tell anyone.
• I open the door to the Alpha floor and I smile when I see the drawing I made for Luna Elyse when I was ten, a drawing of her sitting behind a desk and Alpha Max standing behind her as both of them look down at a file they were working on. I remember looking over at the desk from the small table I used to draw at and both of them were engrossed in reading a file, I started drawing it in seconds to give it to Luna Elyse on her birthday a few weeks later.
• I step into the living room to hear a few gasps and I get wrapped into two arms that feel so familiar, “Maleah, what are you doing here?” I hear Luna Elyse ask me as she squeezes me tight and I chuckle as I wrap my arms around her and lift her off the floor. She squeals as I spin around once, I know she hates it when someone does that as I remember her scolding Alpha Max for doing the same thing.
• “Maleah, could you put my Mate down before she decides to kick your ass for a chance?” I hear Alpha Max from my left and as I put Luna Elyse down I look into her eyes, winking at her before I turn towards Alpha Max.
• “I know you loved it every time she kicked your ass, no matter how much you complained.” I say with a sweet smile on my face and I hear everyone laughing their asses off, while Alpha Max looks at me dumbfounded.
• “Okay, are you going to answer what you are doing here?” Elyse asks me and I tell her I was ordered to show up for dinner, that there would be no excuses. She turns towards her Sons with a look in her eyes that would make the toughest Warrior crumble.
• “Luna Elyse, something happened when I got home and I think your Sons just want to get a few answers. I know Dad would like some answers himself.” I say.
• “What the fuck did that bitch do this time?” Luna Elyse growls.
