Page 68 of The Alpha King's Heart: His Rejected Mate
"So, who invited you to this party?"I asked her.
"This guy I've been seeing for a while, he's a high-ranking general in the army.Young, just putting it out there," She was blushing a little, did Monique like this man?
"Then why are you not going with him?"
"He can't join me because of an important matter at work but he gave me his invitation...I was his plus one,"
"So now I'm your plus one," I laughed.
"Yes, I would never be invited to such a high event like the blue moon ball," she said.
"Okay,"
"Did you have any plans?"
"I thought I'd spend the day with my mate but something came up and he left in a hurry," I informed her and she gasped, grabbing my hand and making me sit on a couch.
"Ladies, can you bring us some champagne, please?"she seemed eager to know about my mate.
"Adira, you didn't tell me you had a mate, who is he?"she asked.I hesitated to answer.
"I think we should set up a double date and you'll see him yourself," I said and she squealed, hugging me.
The shopping assistants were back and we wore every gown there was.I felt pretty in each but we still had to find the one that will make me more gorgeous.It's a girls' date after all and we want to impress.
I grabbed my phone to text Wyatt where I was and told him I'll go out tonight with Monique.He wasn't too pleased to hear that but he agreed not to make a fuss on the condition that I don't dance with any guy.He was so jealous.
I got the last dress on the rank and went to the changing room.It was a beautiful floor-length gown, that left my back bare and had a plunging neckline.I walked out of the room and Monique and the two ladies gasped.
"Wow!"That was all they said.Still staring at me in awe.
"Too much?It is too much, I knew it," I said turning around to grab something else.
"No, look amazing, wear that," Monique squealed.
"I think it's a little much,"
"I can't imagine anyone in that dress other than you, Miss, you are perfect," One of the assistants said.
"Just like a daring, sexy Queen," she said and my heart fluttered at their compliments.I inhaled and looked in the mirror, twirling.Wyatt would not approve of people seeing me in this.I smirked.
Monique brought out a rare type of high heels and put them on my feet.She stood behind me, lovingly touching my shoulders and smiling at me as we stood behind the mirror.
"Look at you, all eyes will be on you," she purred, smacking my ass and I gape at her.We both burst into fits of laughter.
Monique picked a lovely sequin dress that held unto her body like a glove, it showed off her exquisite bodyline and cleavage.
"Let's go get our hair done, and nails done," she said, linking her arm with mine.We thanked the two girls and went to the salon.The salon used all sorts of products in my hair.it was luscious and so soft.I didn't want full-face makeup so they just did a subtle kind that suited me well.I was excited to attend this party.
CHAPTER 50 Beyond My Imagination,
We later went to Monique's apartment, it was lovely with a nice view.It looked so girly and elegant.
"Beautiful place," I said.
"Thank you.I used most of my inheritance on it," she informed me.
"Inheritance?"
