Beauty and The Alpha Beast

Not A Member of her Pack

Riley was exhausted and struggling. She still wasn't one hundred percent recovered and she'd been stuck in the kitchen all blood* day cooking for this so called dinner party. At least she could go straight to bed when she was finished she thought gratefully. Today she hadn't been disturbed or taunted. Wherever Marcus and his friends were, she was delighted to find it wasn't in the pack house and that in itself was enough to slightly brighten her day.

"Ahem" she heard a cough behind her and stiffened, knowing that it was her Luna and dreading what the woman was about to demand of her.

"Riley" Luna Renae said a bit firmly and she turned reluctantly, puzzled to find her smiling sweetly at her. Since when did Luna Renae show any kindness to her? It instantly raised her suspicions. She clenched her nails into her hands, forced to say nothing in case it led to punishment though a tiny part of her wanted to do it anyway, a mischievous voice she sometimes heard in her mind during these sorts of times.

"Yes Luna Renae" Riley said cautiously as she bared her neck. Even without a wolf it was expected of her to show her submission to her and Alpha Gordon. Frankly it was more a way of showing that they were superior to everyone, even servants.

"Tonight the Alpha from the Crimson River Pack will be attending the dinner party along with his Beta Christopher" Luna Renae began as Riley fought to roll her eyes. She really didn't care who or what they were, just wanted to go to bed and sleep her pain away. Wait a minute. Did the woman just say Alpha from the Crimson River Pack? Riley gave an involuntary shudder. That Alpha had a reputation for being called the Alpha Beast or Beastly Alpha within other packs. She wasn't sure if he was that bad or if it was just gossip but either way she was glad to be nowhere near where they would be dining and safely downstairs in her room.

"We will need a servant to attend to our every need and see to our guest’s comfort" the Luna continued and Riley's hopes sank. She could already tell where this was going. Of course, Riley would be the one they would make serve them. How stupid of her to assume otherwise having been busy cooking all day. What on earth had she expected?

"So Alpha Gordon and I will require you to wear something suitable for the occasion instead of those ahem rags you are currently wearing" Luna Renae said calmly.

Did that mean she would get to wear something new? Something that wasn't a hand me down or something she'd stolen from a pile of trash to be thrown out? Riley began to feel excited despite herself. Maybe they would even let her keep it she thought wistfully, dying to see what it was. Sometimes she just wanted to feel like a normal girl, even if it was just for a few hours.

"You may use the bathroom on the ground floor" Luna Renae continued, further lifting up Riley's hopes "Please clean and wash yourself thoroughly. There is a hair straightener in the top drawer of the vanity you can use and when you come out I will put some makeup on."

Riley couldn't believe what she was hearing. She wanted to pinch herself. The bathroom on the ground floor was extravagant, a huge marble bathtub and a shower you could sit in with a huge ledge and two shower heads. She'd never been allowed in it except to clean. She almost squealed at the thought of the hot water and doing something with her hair. Alpha Beast or not she was going to have the time of her life she thought with glee.

"What about the clothes you want me to dress in" Riley said with anticipation, so lost in her thoughts she didn't see the woman's malicious smile as she replied.

"I'll bring them in when I do your makeup. Just come out of the bathroom and meet me in mine and Alpha Gordon's" she assured Riley sweetly. "Now hurry because we don't have much time" she said with swooping hands, motioning Riley away and watching the back of her with narrowed eyes.

Riley was in heaven, locking the bathroom door and eyeing everything with awe. She turned the shower on as she looked at the bath longingly. She would kill to soak in bubbles and relax but if she took too long Luna Renae might change her mind about Riley and the new clothes she so badly wanted to get dressed into. She fervently hoped that it was a pretty dress even as she wondered about her bare feet. Surely Luna Renae would have gotten shoes to match though.

It was all too soon when Riley forced herself to get out of the shower, The hair straightener thankfully was one that would straighten wet hair and with Riley's hair already not that wavy it took a very minute amount of time to do, Riley hastily donning the big fluffy towel and creeping towards the Alpha and Luna's bedroom, knocking politely on the door and slithering in after the "come in" sounded from inside the room.

Luna Renae was waiting looking stunning in her blue formal dress, her hair upswept into an elegant bun, her makeup done to perfection and jewellery adorning her neck, ears, and a bangle that tinkled with tiny bells dangling on it with every movement she made. Riley was envious, glancing down at her own body in chagrin and wincing at how much larger she felt compared to the other woman.

"We'll do makeup first" Luna Renae said even as Riley wanted to object, desperate now to know what she was wearing. She reluctantly sat on the edge of the bed and stayed still as the Luna flitted back and forth applying what felt to Riley like an excessive amount of mascara and eyeshadow. She knew better than to protest though and hoped it wasn't as bad as she was picturing in her mind.

"Done" Luna Renae said with satisfaction, gripping Riley's chin in one hand and peering at her handiwork with a nod as she found no imperfections or blemishes. "You look perfect" she murmured happily, putting down her makeup brush and heading to her closet.

She flung down some clothes and shoes onto the bed with a bit of haste thought Riley confused. She stared at the Luna who was now making her way towards the door. "Put those on and come downstairs so I can examine you and make sure you're presentable" she ordered in a cold voice no longer pretending to be kind as Riley stared numbly at her back as the door shut. Great. Looked like Luna Renae was back to her cold hearted bitc*y self she thought sourly as she picked up the clothes.

At first wryly thought it was a dress until she turned it over and gaped. Surely they weren't expecting her to wear that she thought wildly. It was a maid outfit but more than a little inappropriate, at least to Riley. She poked her head out the door and found Alpha Gordon waiting, arms folded as he gave her a glare and motioned her back into the room. Great the Alpha was on guard duty while his wife was downstairs. It looked like Riley had no choice.

The lacy underwear went on first as she blushed before donning the lacy white tights that went with. Riley picked up the short flared skirt and pulled it on with shaky hands, it flaring out from the waist with white trim around the black colour of it, extremely short and barely covering her ass. The black corset was next, thankfully lacing at the front and sparing her the embarrassment of asking for help, her breasts pushed higher up and almost spilling out as she tied it and smoothed it out. The shoes were the last to go on, high white stilettos with a strap to go around her ankle, providing extra support as she wavered, unused to wearing shoes, let alone ones so high.

Riley approached the mirror with trepidation, not wanting to look but at the same time needing to see her reflection. When she did she gasped, wanting nothing more than to scrub the makeup off and remove the offensive clothes. Her figure was actually nice looking but between the clothes, makeup and hair Riley resembled what she imagined a street walker would look like. The Alpha guarding the room outside, the Luna's sudden change of personality as she got Riley ready initially and the wanting to examine her afterwards were beginning to form a sickening feeling in her gut. She knew the Alpha and the Luna weren't fond of her, merely tolerated her as a servant but surely they wouldn't go so far as to give her to the Alpha of the Crimson River Pack? Surely nobody would be that unfeeling, that cruel. But as Riley went towards the door, she felt bile at the back of her throat at the knowledge that her Alpha and Luna were exactly that, her fear rising with every step she took towards the fate awaiting her.
