Abbie's POV
Hunter and Anthony were taking a while to return from the jewelry shop, so I decided to make a few cookies. I have cravings for sweet stuff, ok? Don't judge.
Plus, I haven't baked anything since the day I arrived at Hunter's pack, and if I'm being fairly honest, I was missing my parents and everyone back home right now.
I don't know what's wrong with me. I love Hunter and everyone in this pack... but I can't help but miss my family suddenly. So, while I baked a storm of cookies, I was on a three-way phone call with my best friend, Marissa, and my sister, Felicity.
"I honestly have no idea what I will wear that day. I've been looking at these gorgeous dresses online in Designs by Mila."I say, making my sister Felicity gasp over the phone.
"Oh my goddess, I love her. She is a freaking genius. But her designs are so freaking expensive!" my sister says, making me chuckle.
"Yeah, that's because they are all exclusive designs, Feli. I mean, the most she will make is three of the same design and no more." Marissa adds, making me smile. I had my eye on a beautiful new dress she had just posted online. It was a blue multi-layered dress that flowed beautifully. It looked like something out of a fairy tale.
I signed, looking at the dress on my computer with adoration as I waited for the cookie timer to go off.
"Yeah. I don't know if I'll be able to afford one of her dresses. They're beautiful, but far too much. I would rather spend that money on something,"
"Why not? You should definitely get the dress, baby. It will look beautiful on you." Hunter says from behind me, making me yell in surprise, causing him and Anthony to chuckle.
"Hunter! You freaking scared me." I said as I playfully slapped his arm.
"Sorry, baby. Didn't mean to startle you," he says, grabbing me by the waist and kissing my lips.
"Hi, Hunter!" my sister and Marissa say over the phone in unison, making him chuckle.
"Hey, girls. Ready for the King's ball coming up?" he asks, making them grunt. He chuckles, nodding his head.
"This royal ball thing is harder to get ready than I thought. I have no idea what to wear," Felicity says, making him chuckle.
"Yeah, no kidding. What if we go and are underdressed... or too dressed up?" Marissa adds.
"Girls... girls... relax. King Arturo doesn't care. He's far too modest to care if you spend a hundred on a dress or three thousand or more. All he wants is for us to be there and enjoy the day with him." he adds, making me smile. I hug him around his shoulder as he sits on a stool, pulling me to sit on his lap.
"Yeah, I suppose you are right. Still, it would be nice to be able to afford a dress designed by Mila." Marissa adds with a sigh.
"Well, you do. Remember the dresses you guys picked for Brandon and Ella's anniversary? They were her designs. I just... didn't tell you guys." he says, making my eyes widen in shock.
"What? Really?" I asked, making him chuckle.
"Yeah. Mila and Lily are good friends. They met a few years back in junior high at an art gallery. They've been friends since then. So, when she became famous, the first thing she did was reach out to Lily and gift her a few dresses, " he says, widening my eyes.
At this rate, I think my eyes are ready to pop out of their sockets. "Oh, my fucking goddess,"
"Baby, watch your mouth. Anthony is here," Hunter says, stopping me from cursing. I cover my mouth and look at Anthony, who is chuckling shyly.
"Sorry," I whisper, winking at him and making Anthony chuckle.
"Anyway, if you girls want, I can have Mila send me a few dresses for you to pick out before the ball. How does that sound?"
"Are you kidding? That sounds amazing! Thank you, Hunter!" Felicity says, making me kiss his lips.
"Great, let me have Lily contact her for you guys. I'll let you know when to stop by and pick out a dress."
"But.. I don't know if I can afford her dresses, Hunter!" Marissa adds, making me look at Hunter with hopeful eyes.
"I'm sure my beautiful Luna can pay for you girls. Don't worry about the cost. Just... make sure you guys have fun that day, ok?" he says, making me shriek as I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him.
"Thank you, babe. I mean it. I will work extra hard to earn the money and pay you back." I said, making him throw his head back in laughter. "Babe... when are you going to get it? We are a couple. You don't need to pay me back. What's mine is yours, and yours is ours!" he says, making me chuckle.
"I love you," I whispered, kissing his lips.
"And I love you," he whispers back.
"Alright, guys. I'll talk to you later so we can meet up." I said as we said goodbye and hung up the phone.
"So, Anthony, did you get your amulet back?" I asked, making him nod happily. He shows me, making my eyes widen as I see how pretty it is. It's more of an oversized pendant. It had a wolf in the middle with runes all around. It was absolutely beautiful.
"Wow. It's so... beautiful." I said, making him smile.
"You want to hold it?" he says, taking it out of its box and handing it to me. I look at Unter, who shrugs and smirks.
"Uhm, sure," I say, holding my hand out. But the weirdest thing happened. Soon as the amulet is in my hands, I feel a shock throughout my entire body, almost as if I had touched a fucking socket, but no matter how bad I want to let go of it, my fist won't budge. I faint, and the last I remember is Hunter running to me worriedly.
When I finally regained my conscience, I lay in bed with a worried Hunter and Anthony. Luna Mandy is pacing back and forth, and Lily is crying in the seat beside me.
"Hunter?" my throat dry and voice hoarded.
" Abbie. How are you feeling?" he asks worriedly as he sits beside me.
"I'm... Fine. What... what happened?" I ask, making them look at each other.
"Do you remember anything? Anything at all, baby?" he asks, making me look puzzled between them.
"No. Not really, why? What happened?"
"Nothing. You're fine, baby," he says, making me more puzzled. But I can't help but feel strange; something strange is happening. My whole body still feels really weird. Awfully weird, and Merida kept being weirder, too, as if she had drunk a whole shit load of red bull or something.
"This feels... fucking amazing!" Merida yells, making me grunt inwardly. "What the hell are you talking about, you psycho pup?" I asked, but she keeps spinning, jumping and doing crazy shit.
"You'll soon find out! Soon... very soon, you amazing person! It's about fucking time!" she yells, making me close my eyes and grunt.
My life just getting weirder and weirder. As if it wasn't enough having a lunatic for a mate... now my wolf is going psycho, too. Hunter is lucky he's sexy as fuck, and that I love him because otherwise I probably would have run away a long time ago.
