Fated is overrated

Lola

POV

As a birthday tradition - Nadia, Jason and I have dinner together at their home. We order the greasiest pizza ever and shoot jokes back and forth." I can't believe we are turning eighteen today.

The wait has felt like forever. I wonder what our wolves look like!" Jason beams. Nadia giggles "well, no doubt in my mind who will be the biggest and strongest wolf out of the 3 of us.

I just hope our wolves will be as attached to each other as we are, but I am positive they will as they are a part of us and can see all our memories together. How could they not love you two!". Jason and I smile at Nadia's kind words. I trail off thinking of what my wolf will be like.

Not only what she will look like, but what will her character be? Most of the time, our wolves are complete opposites of our human sides, to keep things in perfect balance and harmony.

Only very rarely does the wolf have some personal traits like its human counterpart. Mostly when a human wasn't born with the traits they now possess, but has developed them over time through life, there is a chance of some overlap in personality. As I am pretty much a cold hearted b*tch, I am convinced my wolf will be kind and forgiving, also known as sappy from my point of view. As for looks, she will be equally sized to all the other she wolves as females do not grow to be as large as any males - even a Luna can be as small as an omega wolf.

I am wondering what my wolf's color will be though. As I never met my biological parents, I have no clue what their wolves looked like and thus what my wolf will probably look like.

Nadia sighs "earth to Lola?". "Sorry" I blush, having gone off track again. Nadia and Jason both chuckle as I do this more often. "As I was saying - we need to start getting ready as it is now 8pm and the party starts at 10". I nod "yep, let's go". Jason gives me a loving smile and wink before we head up the stairs. I give a small smile back and follow Nadia up.

Nadia brings out her dress, a beautiful black spaghetti strap dress, form fitting in all the right places and with a slit which reaches her mid-thigh. The dress is longer than mine as it almost reaches her ankles, just short enough to show her beautiful matching heels. "Wow Nadia, you look absolutely gorgeous!" she giggles as she continues to do her hair and makeup. I head to the bathroom to slip out of my plain whites and slip into the black lacey body I have purchased today. Luckily, it is also completely open in the back, so there won't be any underwear showing.

After having put on the body I slip on my dress, showing all my curves in this dress as it doesn't leave much to the imagination. The V line shows my voluptuous boobs, the dress is tightly hugging my ass and thighs and the lace is accentuating everything all the

more.

I am getting slightly more nervous about this "going out with a bang". I was adamant on doing it. But this is really outside my comfort zone as I always hide everything I am now showcasing in this dress. Heading out the bathroom Nadia is just finishing her makeup. She

decided to go with some red eyeshade to match me, some mascara and red lipstick. I gulp seeing the lipstick as it is quite bold for Nadia as well. She never wears any lipstick, just like me. And although I am the pack's disgrace and she is not - she is never one to want to stand out either."

You look breathtaking wow! Leaving your teenage years with a bang!" I exhale. "No, we are leaving our teenage years with a bang! Now sit down and let me do your makeup" she squeals excitedly.

"Fine, but not too much ok! I am already outside my comfort zone in this dress and you know I am already standing out anyway". I close my eyes as Nadia starts working on my face. When I get to re-open them, I see my eyes have been done smokey black - which suits me perfectly. It really does look

stunning. She doesn't put any lipstick on as per my request, only some shadeless lip gloss to still accentuate them a bit. I leave my wavy blonde hair down, partially covering my open back, but as my hair reaches mid-back, the bottom back is still visibly open. Nadia puts her straight black hair up, showcasing her perfect collarbones and shoulders.

As we both stand in front of the mirror arm in arm, admiring both our reflections, we hear a knock on the door "you ladies ready? It's 9:30 and we have to help some of the staff with their preparations still". As Nadia's parents are wealthy, they have hired all kinds of staff for their special birthday party.

A DJ, bartenders, caterers, servants, you name it. Nadia snaps out of looking at our reflections "ready, come in!". As the door opens, Jason's eyes widen in absolute shock and he is unable to speak for what seems like forever.

"Erhm, is something wrong? Do we not look okay? Should I change?" I manage to squeeze out in the awkward silence. "I.... don't know what to say.." "well, that's a first" Nadia laughs as I awkwardly chuckle. After some more awkward silence, Jason finally breaks it. "You both look... absolutely stunning.

I just wish other guys wouldn't get to see you like this.........." Nadia scoffs "come on little brother, let's go make the last preparations like you said".

Still unable to peel his eyes away from me, Nadia pulls him downstairs and I follow both of them behind. "What can I help with, anything I can do?" I ask Nadia, as Jason is still awkwardly glancing at me.

Yikes if this is his reaction, I wonder if I made the right decision for tonight. But there is no going back now. I don't have another dress so I have to stick to my guns now. What's the worst they could do to me anyway, after having bullied me for years?
