Mr Alpha, I Am Not Your Typical Lady!-Chapter 23) The social event/ The Alpha is her?!

I woke up at exactly 7am.

Majestically pacing back and forth inside the large bedroom with my head held high in confidence, I boldly said, "Welcome to the shadows’ pack, my esteemed guests. I appreciate all of you for accepting my invitation. Today marks the 100th social event that we shadows’ pack have held over the years. As the new Alpha of the shadows’ pack, I hope we can form a great relationship with each other for the good of our various packs".

The second I finished talking, I slapped my forehead and hissed. "This speech doesn’t seem right. I need a magnificent speech that would leave everyone speechless. And I don’t have much time left for that".

’Let me host the social event for you, Clara. When my father was alive, I witnessed him host social events countless times. I pretty much know what to say and what to do. If you’re not feeling confident, you can allow me to step in and handle it for you’. Elektra suggested.

Should I allow her to? No. She is more hot-headed than me. I am afraid she might get into a fight if someone disrespects us.

I got distracted by the knock on the door. "Who is it?". I asked the person.

"Alpha Anastasia, we are here to help you get prepared for the social event". The person said to me.

Judging from the voice of the lady, I don’t think I have any idea who she is.

I positioned my hands behind my back. "Come in". I ordered her, and a middle-aged lady whose hair was tied into a bun and was wearing a plain blue dress that fitted her body, stepped into my room with two other ladies who were holding clothes and accessories in their hands.

"I greet the great Alpha of the shadows’ pack". The middle-aged lady presented herself before me and bowed her head, together with the two younger ladies.

I kept a serious face as I stared at them. ’Do you know who they are, Elektra?’. I asked her.

’Yes, Clara. She’s Valerie. She was my mother’s official lady in waiting. She left the Luna’s mansion after my mother was no more. While the ladies standing beside her are her assistants’.

’No wonder I have never seen her in this mansion ever since I became Anastasia. What is she doing here now? Also, I am an Alpha. Is she supposed to attend to me?’. I asked again.

’Of course she’s supposed to attend to you, Clara. Who else do you think should attend to you? A male in - waiting?’.

’No need for you to be sarcastic, Elektra’. I told her. I didn’t mind - link her further, and I focused my attention on the ladies before me. I said, "Valerie, why are you in my room today? I am sure I never ordered you to come attend to me".

Valerie never stopped bowing as she replied to me, "Forgive my impudent behavior, Alpha Anastasia. I had to come uninvited because I thought you would need my help with getting dressed for the social event".

’All this whole time, you never came uninvited. Who do you think you’re fooling? Tsk. The werewolves are trying to get on my good side because of who I have turned out to be. And why did they form the habit of bowing before me and refusing to get up until I told them to? I am definitely sure they are not doing that because I am the Alpha. They are doing that because I am the moon goddess’ chosen child’. I thought to myself.

’Should I send her away and show the other werewolves an example that they can’t just try to get close to me? Sigh. But I won’t lie, I could really need her help in picking out a suitable outfit. When I was a normal human, choosing an outfit to wear was pretty easy. But now, I have become a werewolf. Not just any werewolf, but a royal werewolf. All the outfits I wear ought to display my royalty’. I was thinking.

"You can help me get prepared, Valerie. But never again should you act without my orders. Do you understand? Failure to obey me would result in punishment".

"Understood, Alpha Anastasia". She replied to me.

"You may rise". I said to them, and they lifted their heads, before Valerie led me to the bathroom.

A few minutes later I was done brushing my teeth and bathing. I came out of the bathroom wearing a white bathrobe.

At that moment, I was led into my dressing room.

This time around, not only Valerie assisted me, but the two young ladies followed us.

The lady holding the clothes stepped forward and stood next to Valerie who was standing in front of me.

Valerie picked one of the clothes. She showed it to me and said, "These are the dresses I selected for you on the way to the mansion, Alpha".

The dress in Valerie’s hand was a golden colour dress. It was designed very beautifully and was so long that it could sweep the floor if I wore it.

Staring at the dark purple dress in the young lady’s hand, I picked it up.

The dark purple dress was long, but not longer than the golden dress. It was skillfully designed with lace. And the back of the dress was much longer than the front. The style looked more mature, unlike the golden dress that looked like a young teen’s outfit.

"I will wear this". I said, while casually pointing a finger at the dark purple dress.

"Your taste in clothes has matured, Alpha. Your character has matured too. You look like a different person". Valerie complimented me, but I didn’t reply.

"Ladies, you know what to do". Valerie said to the young ladies, and they dropped the things they were holding to help me get changed into the dress I had chosen.

After they helped me change, I went and sat down on the sofa. Valerie did my makeup and helped me braid some parts of my hair.

For the finishing touch, Valerie helped me put on the silver heels she brought for me. She also put a short silver necklace around my neck and placed a silver crown that had jewels on it, on my head.

I rose up and went and stood in front of the large mirror. There was a satisfied smile on my face when I saw my reflection in the mirror. I look fantastic in the dress. It was like the dress was meant for me.

As for the light makeup and silver necklace and crown, it made me look breathtaking. ’Anastasia’s appearance is extremely beautiful. More beautiful than mine. I honestly don’t understand why someone as beautiful as her was madly in love with someone who doesn’t appreciate her love. If I was royalty from birth and had this gorgeous appearance, I would be so confident to the extent that no man would be worthy of me. Anastasia, since I am now you, I will not make the mistakes you made’.

Upon my thoughts, I smiled more, before I turned to Valerie and the ladies and kept a serious look on my face.

"Alpha Anastasia, you look amazing and exactly like your father. Indeed, you were born to be the chosen child and rule over us". Valerie praised me. She took my hand and kissed it while her knee touched the ground as a sign of great respect.

’Mom, Dad, you won’t believe the person I have become’.

I left the dressing room and my bedroom and was heading outside the mansion.

Valerie and the ladies were behind me. They are following me to the grand hall.

By now, the invited werewolf packs must be in the grand hall.

It took me two hours to finish preparing. So I am certain that the guests must have arrived. If not all of them, at least most of them should have arrived.

After I stepped foot out of the mansion, I saw Damien.

He was wearing a black tuxedo that looked like the ones the dukes in movies wear.

I climbed down the stairs and went to him.

"Alpha". He said to me and slightly bowed his head.

’His appearance looks different today. He’s charming and handsome’.

’And so? I don’t care’. I replied to Elektra.

"I will be your escort and stand by your side, Alpha". Damien said to me.

I acknowledged what he said by simply nodding at him once. Then, he respectfully held my hand, and we walked together, heading to the grand hall that wasn’t too far.

Werewolves have great stamina, so walking to the grand hall shouldn’t be a big deal.

....

As we arrived outside the large doors of the grand hall, I could hear the endless chattering of people.

"Who do you think is going to host the social event, Alpha Mike? If I am not mistaken, the shadows’ pack currently doesn’t have an Alpha. They only have a Luna. The same Luna who had been foolishly chasing after Alpha Dylan before he brutally rejected her".

"Keep your voice down, Beta. You don’t want Alpha Dylan who’s standing over there to hear you mentioning his name".

’So disrespectful. It’s as if they are purposely talking loudly for people to hear them’. I thought, before I glared at the royal announcer who had not announced my presence.

The announcer reacted with haste after realising his mistake. He apologetically bowed to me and lifted his head after I ordered him to. He cleared his throat and announced, "All welcome Alpha Anastasia Cadieux! The supreme ruler of the whole shadows’ pack!".

The large doors were opened, and I confidently made my way into the grand hall with my head proudly held high up.

All eyes were fixed on me as soon as I walked in. Nobody moved.

"What did my ears just hear? The Alpha is her?! She’s no longer a Luna? But how is that possible?! How did someone like her become the shadows’ pack Alpha?!". Someone exclaimed.

I ignored the shocked look on everyone’s faces and walked up the stairs.

I sat on my throne. "Damn it. I forgot to get rid of this second throne". I cursed under my breath.
