I had already told Raven about the witch and the necklace, and it was something I would be keeping on no matter what.

"I’m sure he is. Come on, let’s get your hair done." She said as I came to the present, I sprayed some makeup setting spray on my face.

"Ok, let’s do this." I said, looking in the mirror.

I watched as she began to style it in an intricate up-do.

"Are you wearing a tiara?"

"No, I don’t need a crown to be a queen." I said, smiling as I picked up the pearl and flower filigree hair vine. "Just this."

"Beautiful." She approved.

Whilst she did my hair, I applied body shimmer to my legs and arms. Watching as my hair came together beautifully, a few curled strands loosely framed my face. She did a low bun in the back. She added the hair vine to my hair as I applied a bit of gloss to my lips.

"Wow… You look like a bride…" Raven whispered.

I looked in the mirror at my shimmering subtle eye shadow with my black eyeliner. My soft pinky lips. The dewy glow on my face… I picked up my matching earrings and put them on along with the few bracelets and a few delicate gold rings to match.

"Just the dress now…" I said.

"Where is it?"

"Right here." Serena said from the open door.

I smiled when I saw her and Mom enter. Both looked beautiful in their dresses.

"This dress is gorgeous." Mom said. As she and Serena wrestled with the plastic bag covering it.

"Thank you. Mom, did you get anything out of Jasmin?"

"She didn’t say anything new; she was sent here… but her purpose, we have no idea. Did you sense any magic from her?"

"No…"

"Well, we will figure it out. I told Alejandro she’s best moved to the dungeons." Mom said, sighing. I knew she was probably feeling guilty but we had no option. "Now go get dressed."

"Yes, the boys want to see you." Raven added, waving her phone as Serena helped me into a pair of ivory shoes with a gold heel.

I nodded, before I slipped out of my gown, keeping my arms over my breasts as I stepped into my gorgeous large dress.

Mom gave me a small smile as she zipped me up. The dress was stunning. It had two straps from one shoulder with a cutout showing the middle of my breasts. With a wrap waist and a heavy skirt with a slit down one thigh. It was made of the most beautiful soft ivory fabric that melted flawlessly into a blush pink. It was embellished with embroidery, sequins, and small fine 3D flowers. From the back of my shoulder strap, there was a beaded cape that trailed the ground.

"Wow…" Serena said. Mom nodded her agreement.

"I don’t cry often, but I want to now… You look beautiful…." Mom said quietly.

I looked in the mirror, not recognising the woman before me. Yes it was me, but at the same time, I looked like someone who knew what I wanted.

"A true queen." Serena replied softly.

"One who will claim her king in front of everyone." Raven said with confidence.

"You should go change. It's almost time to head outside." Mom told her as she smoothed out her red dress.

"Got it!" Raven said, rushing off to the bathroom with her purple tulle skirted dress in hand.

I looked in the mirror, my heart pounding, thinking of Alejandro... This was it... He was going to become mine… fully... It also meant I’d be breaking the pack link to my old pack.
