Page 246 of The Alpha and His Song: Volume One

A woman entered with a giant orange, blue, green, and black dress with fabric wings, a corset body and a giant skirt. The woman handed the dress to Haley. My sister in law asked, “What the fuck is this?” Tatum cackled, “She hates it.” I couldn’t say I blamed her.

Caspian smirked, “The dress the Fairies used to wear to our ceremonies.” Haley snorted, “Exfuckingcuse me?! This is a butterfly. I am not a fucking butterfly. Aiden, what the actual fuck is this? I’m not dressing up as a butterfly. This is insulting is what this is.” King Aiden was trying not to laugh.

King Aiden told Caspian, “Apologies King Caspian, my sister is very into fashion. She has quite the eye and recently opened up a store in Faerie. It’s quite popular.” Caspian smirked, “I am not under the impression the Fae’s of old liked it either.”

Haley's eyes narrowed, “Can I change it?” Caspian was grinning now, “Well, it is a tradition.” Haley said, “So, if I come up with a tradition where you Siren’s dress up like Mermaids and we call you…” All of us hissed.

Haley smiled triumphantly, “Exactly! This is a butterfly, and I’m not a damn butterfly.” Caspian laughed, “Awe us with your magic, Fairy Princess.” I elbowed him, “That’s why you mentioned the dress. You wanted her to change it.”

Caspian winked, “Everyone likes seeing Fairy magic, little sister. I have only heard stories. It’s only natural to want to see it in person.” I watched Haley snap the dress on then her hands began to glow. I watched in awe as the dress changed into a very sexy formal dress.

It was now orange with a hint of red, tightly fitted, with sheer portions. It looked like feathers that sparkled around her. It opened up at her thigh. The other side gathered at her hip and flowed down around her with a very low back. I blinked, “Wow. That was amazing. Is this how Fairies actually dress?”

King Aiden answered, “Yes.” Wow. I kind of wanted Fairy blood. Maybe Jarchi actually knocked my mom up. A sibling with these powers would kick ass. Tatum pointed out, “We are related to Haley’s pups. They are our nephews and nieces.” Sweet!

I offered, “Children, but ok.” Tatum laughed, “Wolves call their children pups.” Of course they did. At least some of Haley and Eric’s kids were around my age based on Melanie’s stories. Tears filled my eyes as I thought about it.

Keaton put his arms around me, “My Song?” I whispered, “I have such a big family. It’s all I ever wanted.” Lux squeezed my hand while Keaton wiped my tears. Haley instructed, “Alexander, go get the others. I’m staying with Odette since I probably need to fix her dress too. I’m not sure about this realm's fashion sense, but I’m going to conclude it’s terrible. Possibly stuck in the damn past.”

King Aiden’s booming laugh filled the room along with Caspian’s. My brother told her, “My song might be jealous. Our ceremonial outfits could use an upgrade.” Haley looped her arm with mine saying, “Come on Lux, Keaton, and Scarlett. Let’s help my sister in law avoid a fashion fiasco.” I snorted.

Wait, where did Melanie go? Oh no. Tatum chuckled, “I like her.” Sassy hummed in agreement. King Aiden smiled at Haley. Caspian seemed deeply entertained by her. I broke free to hug him again. I was really here this time, and nothing was going to pull me away.

My other brothers surrounded me. I whispered, “It feels like home.” Caspian declared, “This is one of your homes, and it always will be.” I told him, “I’m sorry I scared you.” My oldest brother said, “We will discuss more of what happened later. Go get ready with a Fairy.”

I laughed, “I like her dress. Maybe she could do it in green.” Caspian laughed, “She can, but she’ll have to send your song boy back down to us. Then we’d have to send everyone away. Serenity would have to work overtime making me forget all that happened.”

I asked, “Why?” Caspian gave me a look. I blushed, “Oh.” My brother snorted, “Yes, oh. Go.” I winked, “I can’t be pulled away this time, it’s nice.” Caspian agreed, “It is. We are very glad to have you here, Odette.” I smiled at him and turned to leave.

We were led through the halls to a beautiful room. I gasped, “Whose room is this?” The girl escorting us answered, “It’s yours, Princess. Noxus had it cleared out and all your brothers have been getting their songs’ advice on things for you.” Tears filled my eyes. Keaton whispered, “They love you.”

I heard a horrified gasp and quickly realized it came from Haley and followed her gaze to see a very old green style dress in the girls’ hands. It had black accents, but it did not belong in this century. Haley seemed scandalized.

My sister in law asked, “THAT is the dress?” The girl laughed, “I am glad Fairies are back. My family had passed down stories of how they were about fashion. Our wardrobes need an update.” Haley snorted and actually rolled her eyes when she turned to me.

My sister in law asked, “Do you like it?” I quickly answered, “No.” Haley sighed, “Thank god. What would you prefer it look like?” I smiled, “I like green, but something more this century would be nice.” Haley smiled, “I can work with that. Keaton and Lux, go find what he’s supposed to wear. I’m sure he has a room too.”

Keaton huffed. Haley laughed, “Have no fear, I will keep the dress rules in mind for my godson.” Keaton smirked, “I love you, Aunty Hales.” My sister in law smiled, “As I love you. This is a much better woman for you too. She doesn’t try to hide from me because she is a Liscaredy wolf.”

I snorted, “That’s an amazing nickname.” Haley smiled, “I also call her Lishriekra.” I busted up laughing. Sassy hissed in my head. Tatum said, “I like both names.” Haley added, “To be fair, I call that thing lots of things. I loathe that girl.”

Melanie huffed. God, when she did get back? I asked, “What’s wrong?” My friend squeaked, “Wrong? I mean… that’s … well … nothing… that’s… wrong… what could be wrong?” Scarlett snickered. Lux sighed, “Good lord, Melanie, you’re getting worse at lying.” Here I was thinking I was the only one who realized that. Tatum said, “Yeah, no it’s everyone.”

Melanie gasped, “No I’m not!” Lux nodded, “You are.” Her Xander chuckled. I hadn’t even noticed he was back already. Or did he leave? Wasn’t he getting people? Alexander said, “We’ll discuss it later, Lovebug.”

I frowned, “Wait, you went to get the rest of my family.” Family. Because I had one. Alexander nodded, “They are downstairs. Mom, did you warn dad?” Melanie snorted. I frowned asking, “About me? He totally saw on the video call.”

Melanie’s Xander laughed, “No, not you. Her dress.” I asked, “What’s wrong with it?” Keaton coughed, “Prom.” I laughed, “Is my brother an Alpha wolf too?” That would definitely make sense based on Melanie’s stories.

Haley answered, “Yes. Eric’s the head of the Werewolf Council now, who is a very possessive Alpha wolf.” I winked at Keaton who smirked. Lux slapped the back of my mate’s head. Melanie’s Xander kissed her hand, “See that you don’t get in any more trouble with my mom and aunt.” Then left to follow the guys.

Melanie shouted after him, “I was helping! I rescued Odette. That’s a thing! It wasn’t trouble! That’s just…” Her Xander laughed and closed the door. My old friend huffed. Haley snapped the dress on me. I winced, “Gosh, this itches.”

Haley’s hands began to glow and when she stepped back, I looked into the full length mirror. My gasp could not be contained. I twirled, “This is amazing!” My sister in law had put me in a strapless corset bodice dress, that had detachable sleeves with a sheer piece down to almost my belly button.

The dress flared out after my waist and had a slit up to my thigh. I spun around, “I love it!” Haley smiled and snapped her fingers. My jaw dropped because Melanie was now in a stunning red dress. It had an A-line halter top with cut outs across her chest, midriff and thigh. I gasped, “Your scars are gone.”

Melanie smiled, “Yeah, Xander and his mom did that.” I hugged my friend, “That’s so great!” Melanie used to have some scars on the top of her shoulders. I’d never seen more than that, but something told me they extended down her entire back.
