“Change? In what way?”

“I would have told you, but Eros is the King and he wants to do it when he feels the tis right. | only hope you

awaken. your wolf today, so | don’t have to be so tight-lipped around you. She said, and it somehow made me

feel both anxious and a bit relieved.

“Are you going to sacrificein sritual?” | teased, and was rewarded with a chuckle.

“Eros doesn’t believe in rituals or sacrifices. He does not even believe in the Moon Goddess anymore. So you

don’t have to worry about that.”

“But why?” | blurted out

Beauty pretended to not hear me. Instead, she walked pastand stood in front of the open wardrobe looking

at the clothes.

“Hmm, we have to find something that will show how strong you are”

“I don’t really see the need to dress up” | made the sargument | had shared with Glinds, but Beauty shook

her head.

“Sorry, King’s orders”

| made a face, but Beauty stuck her tongue out and began pulling out a few dresses forto wear.

“this looks too formal, she said while picking up a business suit.

“Nah, this one’s too chic” she said, dismissing another, and | kept waiting for her to arrive at a conclusion.

When she had thrown almost a dozen of dresses on the bed with a frown, | raised a hand.

“Can | suggest something?”

“Go on,” she said while still shuffling through the wardrobe.

“Can | wear something that looks like the night

sky?”

Beauty stopped shuffling and looked atwith an amused smile. “As in?”

“As in today is the full moon and | hope just like last time, my wolf shows up and this t| manage to

completely shift. So, it would be nice to wear something that makeslook like have draped the night sky.

Something with a light dusting of stars... Her smile seemed to widen as | vividly imagined the dress, and |

stopped abruptly.

“Did 1 blabber a lot?”

“Not really” She began looking through the blue dresses hanging down in the wardrobe. To be honest, | did not

Finally, Beauty seemed satisfied with one of the dresses and replied, “Now, you have to close your eyes. | will let

“But.. what if | don’t look good in it?

“Trust me, you will” Saying so, she madeput on a sleeping mask to ensure | would not cheat. For the next

hour or so, she kept putting on something or the other on my face.

| felt the make up brushes touch my skin and the creams and gels with which she styled my hair, dabbed my

wrists with sperfand even painted my nails.

| felt nervousness and anxiety bubbling inas the day ended and the sun dipped below the horizon.

The twhen one awakened a wolf was never specific.

| sent a silent prayer to the moon goddess to helpfind my wolf. Mentally, | also prepared myself for the worst

“Stop fidgeting” Beauty gently slapped my hands when my fingers began to tie a knot with the silky threads of

and pulled up the zips on the inside that held the dress together.

My fingers brushed against the fabric, and | felt it to be satiny soft. It did feel snug and not as if my insides were

being choked.

How long?” | asked impatiently and Beauty said in a garbled voice, “Soon.”

She was probably holding a comb and a hair curler in her hands for | felt the soft whirring of a machine.

After what felt like an eternity, she let out a huffed breath and I felt her sag into the bed, plopping herself on the

soft

mattress.

“Damn, | need to ensure Eros paysfor this service

She had taken the mask off my eyes at spoint, but had turnedaway from the mirror so | wouldn't take a

sneaky glance.

“Ok, are we done? Can | open my eyes? There was no answer for a while and | wondered what was going on.

“Beauty?” | asked aloud but still she didn’t answer me. Biting my lower lip, | opened my eyes to see her sitting

on the bed. She e was right there in front of me, yet n

Her eyes were staring up at the ceiling, and she seemed to be having a fit,

“Beaul What's wrong?”

| said and hastily got up from the small chair she had madesit in. | almost tripped over the folds of the but

somehow managed to reach her.

Brauty was sitting cross-legged on the bed, and her head was thrown back.

“Beau! Beau!!” | tried shaking her, but she was still staring at the ceiling as if something had suddenly

possessed her.

| was about to call for help when she got out of her trance like state and looked at me.

“God, you scared me. Are you okay?” | asked, and she gulped nervously.

“Water” she said meekly, and | grabbed a glass of water from the adjacent table.

“Should | ask for the pack doctor to check on you? You are sweating.” | said and dabbed her forehead with a

kerchief slowly.

She drank the water, and her breathing got even after a while.

“It's okay. You.. you know what | am, right?” She asked, and | looked at her curiously. “You are a girl just like

| offered, and she shook her head. “I am also a seer. My powers are not really great, but sometimes | get to see

glimpses of people in my head.”

Wow. Beauty. A hybrid from previous life is a seer/witch.

“Does that hurt you?” | asked stupidly. | should have had a better response, but curiosity got the better of me.

“Sometimes | see visions of people, sometimes strangers, but | Have learned that these are somehow tied to the

people that

matter to me.

I don’t understand” She madesit in front of her and began

“So... your guy. Theo, and the entire thing where you got kidnapped? | saw it... in bits and pieces. Most of it was

blurred and | would have warned you, but | also saw Eros around you.. he was hitting someone... | figured out the

rest. Beauty said, her fingers fidgeting with the glass.

“Oh | managed to say.

“Yeah, so what

you saw right now... It wasseeing another vision. The ones | see are mostly things that could happen in the

future. So unless and until | feel an imminent threat to those | saw in the vision, | don’t share it with them. I don’t

in understanding. “Why are you smiling!”

“You just now said that you see visions of people that matter to you. And you saw me. So,

you.”

she placed her other hand on mine and smiled back “I said that

“So | believe you are not too worried about whatever you saw right now. Did it somehow involveagain?”

“Yea-h. She thought about it for a while, so | knew she had definitely seen something related to
