When I woke up in the morning, Maxwell wasn"t in the bed or the room. Where he was sleeping at was a note. I opened it up and it said.Iris,
Thanks for last night. Sorry if I caused you any trouble. I"ll make it up to you soon. Just don"t know when. If you need me, I"ll be in the dungeons. Send a guard to come get me.
Also before I forget, tonight the Elders will be coming to the pack. A ceremony will be happening. There"s a dress made of the finest black lace. You"ll be wearing that tonight. My older sister, Viola, will be in charge of your appearance for the ceremony. I"ll be waiting to come get you when that time comes. Thanks again for helping me last night. I really appreciate it.
Your caring friend,
Maxwell
A little smile crept onto my face. But what kind of ceremony is going to happen? I shrugged the worry of meeting people and got ready to venture downstairs to the kitchen.
Walking into the kitchen, I seen Rosemary making breakfast. A few pack members were also in the kitchen eating and conversing with each other. They all stopped what they were doing when I walked in. I felt uncomfortable being in here with all their eyes glued on me.
"It"s not polite to stare," someone said.
I look over and see a lady taller than I. I looked away, remembering what she had said. The lady walked up to me.
"Don"t be afraid of speaking up. You"re the soon-to-be Luna of this pack. My name is Viola. What"s yours sweetie?" she said.
"Iris. I-I"m Iris. Are you Maxwell"s sister?" I replied to Viola.
"Yes I am. And nice to meet you girly. I can see why my brother has a thing for you. Have you eaten yet?" Viola said.
I shook my head no.
"Well, lets get some food in your system. Then we can start getting ready for tonight," she said handing me a plate of food.

After eating breakfast, Viola led me to her room.
"You can use my shower. I"ll be here when you get out and dressed," Viola said.
I nodded and headed into the bathroom connected to her room.

Getting out the shower, I seen the dress hanging on the back of the door and a bag on the counter. I picked up the bag and read what it said. Victoria Secrets. Not knowing what was inside, I pulled out a white laced bra. That"s not so bad. Well it wasn"t until I pulled out the next piece of undergarment. When I pulled it out, my eyes popped out of my head. Please tell me the bottom half is a joke. I opened the door a little and peaked my head in.
"Viola, can you come in here?" I asked.
She nodded and came into the bathroom.
"Please tell me this is a joke," I said showing her the bottom undergarment.
She started laughing at my expression.
"No, it"s not a joke. Just put it on. No one is going to see it...well except for your mate. But I believe you"re not ready for that," Viola said.
I nodded in agreement while having a light blush form in my cheeks.
Viola helped me get the dress on. It was very fitted and very beautiful. Ivory white with black lace, just how Maxwell had said. The dress has long sleeves and a v shaped neck lining. To go with it, Viola got me white heels and gold jewelry. my hair was curled and brought to one side. I had very light makeup on, and my nails were freshly done. I looked at myself in the mirror while Viola got herself ready. I look so different. It"s a good different, but I"m not used to being like that.
"Girl, you"re smoking hot," Viola said coming out the bathroom.
"Thanks. You do too," I said, complementing her.
"You ready to get the show on the road?" Viola asked.
"Yes," I sad and walked out the bedroom.
