Chapter 79: Lilith P.O.V.

Chapter 79: Lilith P.O.V.
Elaine had told the three of them that I wanted to meet up with them in two hours and then she helped me wash my hair. I can’t remember much about my life before I was stuck in the tiny box, but I would like to think that my mom would have done things like this for me before everything went to hell. 

Elaine grabbed me a robe and I wrapped my body up in the fluffy white robe, “Okay, dear so tell me what you think you want to wear?” Elaine asked, sitting in the same place next to the tub. I was nervous because how do I make them love me and lust after me when I despise them. They took control of me when I allowed myself a moment of vulnerability because of the stupid mate bond and they took that moment to try and force me into being their Luna. 

“I- I don’t really know.” I sighed, shrugging my shoulders and tapping my foot nervously. She walked out of my huge bathroom and went into the closet that was filled with expensive clothes, “Well, if you don’t like something just tell me but I think since we have worn red before. We need to do something a little more daring. What would you say to something black or maybe blue?” 

Can black actually make someone like me look good? I was already pale and skinny, wouldn’t black just highlight everything that is already so wrong about me? Maybe the way it hangs on my body matters or something. I don’t think Elaine would put me in something that would look bad on me, everything that she has shown me only made me feel more beautiful or comfortable with myself. 

I went into the closet next to her and tried to see what she was looking at but I felt lost in the hundreds of fabrics hanging in the closet, “Would those actually make me look good?” I asked, nervously. 

Elaine stopped looking at the dresses and grabbed my shoulders, turning me so I was facing her, “My dear. I know your life has been one of struggle but the girl makes the dress. The dress does not make the girl. I could put you in the ugliest brown dress the world has ever seen and you would still shine through with all your beauty.” She cooed, while her eyes filled with tears. 

“Thank you.” I hugged her tightly. The type of hug I could only imagine I would have given my mom if she was still here. I rested my head on her shoulder and took a moment to enjoy this. 

When we both pulled away and took a deep breath I felt this new layer of confidence. As much as they had hurt me even if I trusted them never gave them the right to force the mate bond on me. It didn’t give them the right to mark me and have sex with me when they knew I hated them. 

“Okay, so I was thinking maybe a green dress.” I smiled, brightly staring at a forest green dress that would match my eyes perfectly. There was only a few options as far as the color that I wanted but I found it, “Holy crap.Elaine what do you think?”I squealed, looking at this floor length deep forest green dress. 

“I need to see this on you now!” Elaine smiled, practically ripping the hanger from the pole and moving up towards the dresser so we could grab the right undergarments. 

I put on a simple green thong so there wouldn’t be any underwear lines and slipped on the dress. The material felt so soft and luxurious, there is a giant slit on my left leg from the top of my thigh and an extremely low back that barely stopped at my tail bone. 

I came out of the closet and blushed, “Is this to much?” I asked, spinning around so that she could see the back with the criss-crossed strings holding the dress in place.  The neckline was scooped with the material accentuated my breast just enough. 

“No, I have a feeling after what they did. They will be using every advantage that they against you. We need to be willing to do the same and that includes using your beautiful looks against them.” Elaine glared at the door where the body guard stood. There was a vicious confident look in her eyes, I could have sworn that she was ready to go to war over what happened to me. 

“I know that you have already done so much for me Elaine, but I was wondering if today you would want to do my make up and hair before I go down there?I asked nervously. My hair was still damp from the shower that I took, even though my hair felt and looked thin. I have a feeling that I am supposed to have thick hair. 

The second that I asked Elaine was hurrying to the bathroom with me in tow, “Okay, so I think we need to focus on hair first so I don’t melt your make up and then we will do your hair.” Elaine stated, going under the cabinets until she found what she called a blow dryer and straightener. 

She pulled and pulled…. And pulled on my hair with a circular brush while the loud dryer was on top of the brush. Half way through I wanted to run away  from her and never ever look back again, my head hurt so bad but I was determined not only for them but for myself. I wanted to see how beautiful that I could look when I took care of myself. 

After the bath I noticed that my body didn’t hurt anymore and I did look so much healthier. It almost looked like I had put some weight on my body but that was impossible, right? Herbs don’t naturally make you gain weight, they can heal injuries but not weight. 

When Elaine was done with my hair she styled in some loose waves and pinned some hair in a sparkly green hair piece. Then she went all in on the make up with a simple brown eye shadow, pink lipstick and a full face of make up. 

“Elaine, it’s almost time.” I whimpered, looking at the woman in the mirror because I don’t really recognize her. Her eyes. They looked like mine and her cheekbones looked exactly like mine but she looked like someone worth fighting for. She looked like a princess and it made me feel both confident and scared at the same time. 

“My girl, you have nothing to be scared of. Remember to take another quarter of the mason jar in another four hours and I will see what I can get done for you in that time. Most importantly, convince them that you want to be the luna of the pack.” She squeezed my hand. 

Then, it freaking hit me. 

I could get them to believe me with one big giant headache once and for all, “What If I convinced them that I wanted to throw a party to celebrate the Alpha and Luna mating bond? They would have to give me access to a car and money, right?” I bit my lip and looked at her. 

“Go.” She said, smiling at me like a proud mother. Now, I just had to convince those assholes that I would love nothing more than to spend the rest of my life being tied to their selfish asses.
