Filed to story: Pregnant By The Heartless Lycan King
She is dressed in the same clothes that the clerk has given to her earlier. She and her friend are laughing very hard and pointing at me, attracting the attention of the other customers to me.
“This pauper wants to try on this dress,” her friend laughs. “Even Lunas couldn’t fit into this dress, what makes you think you can properly wear it, beggar?”
The other customers start laughing and I can hear them mocking me, whispering hurtful words and pointing fingers at me. Shame and embarrassment overwhelm me and tears slowly trickle down my eyes.
“Someone should please do us a favor and drag this beggar out of here,” the princess chuckles and fresh rounds of laughter fill the store.
I turn to run away but the clerk stops me, “I’ve been working in this store for a long time and I think you’re perfect.”
“What if I’m not?” I ask.
“You are,” she replies, smiling gently. I watch in disbelief as she pulls the dress from the glass and gives it to me, “Go try it on.”
I sigh deeply and slowly march to the fitting room amidst the mocking laughter and embarrassment.
“Let’s watch this beggar embarrass herself,” the princess’s friend says as I step into the fitting room and close the curtain. A couple of minutes later, I am ready and slowly pull the curtain apart, facing the small crowd that has gathered to watch me try on the Treasure of the Store.
Cathy’s POV
A small crowd has gathered before the fitting room to see the results of the girl’s stupidity. I am mortified that the clerk has allowed that pauper to wear the most valuable clothes in the whole kingdom. I have tried that dress multiple times and it never seems to fit, no matter how hard I tried. After many trials, I gave it up. I don’t understand what gives that beggar the audacity to think that the dress will fit her when it won’t fit me, the Princess of the entire Wolf Kingdom.
The curtain to the fitting room slowly pulls apart and I am ready to bvrst into deep laughter at the monstrous figure that will appear behind the curtain. The girl slowly steps out of the fitting room and faces everybody. Instead of the mocking laughter that I’ve anticipated from the small crowd, they are all shocked; indeed, so am I.
The clothes fit the girl perfectly. She looks like a perfect Luna but even that is an understatement; she looks like a divine goddess. The clothes hug her feminine curves so perfectly that I can’t help but gasp in shock. She seems to have a faint glow around her and the bright, green color of the dress complements her bright blue eyes perfectly. I’ve never seen anyone as beautiful as her and I am thoroughly shocked at how the clothes have transformed her from a hag to a divine goddess.
“Cathy,” Ayana, Lily’s friend that comes with me to the store, gently nudges me. “You’re gaping.”
“What?” I mumble and immediately compose myself.
Suddenly, the crowd bvrsts into wild applause. I expect them to ridicule and mock this girl until she breaks down in tears, instead, they are praising her beauty and the girl is smiling and blushing as though she is getting married.
“She’s beautiful.”
“She’s glowing.”
“I can marry her right now.”
“I want to be her friend.”
The crowd keeps murmuring and praising her amidst very wild and loud applause.
“Do something, Cathy,” Ayana mumbles. “She’s making us look bad in front of all these people.”
I can’t deny that the girl is extremely beautiful but no one is allowed to make a fool out of me, especially not in the capital.
“What are you all clapping for?” I snarl at the crowd and the applause fizzles out. “You think she can afford it? She’s a pauper, a beggar from the streets. It doesn’t matter that the dress fits her, because she can’t afford it. Even if she slaved for a thousand years, she would not be able to afford it. So take off that dress,” I turn to her. “And go back to the streets where you belong.”
“She doesn’t have to,” a smooth, silky voice rings through the store and the store owner walks towards the girl.
A quick murmur sweeps through the crowd at the appearance of the most talented designer in the whole kingdom. She is a recluse who almost never appears in public, yet she is making an appearance because of this stupid girl.
“I will give her this dress for free, she deserves it.”
Another quick murmur sweeps through the crowd before they bvrst into a bout of loud and wild applause. It is obvious that I have lost and is about to become a laughing stock, but I am determined to have the last word.
“You,” I turn towards the girl. “If I see your ugly face again, I’ll make you regret it,” I threaten her and storm out of the store, barely keeping my anger in check.
Tanya’s POV
The whole scenario looks surreal to me. I will believe I am hallucinating if not for the fact that I am clearly staring at my reflection before a very big glass. I know I am pretty, but never have I imagined that I can be that beautiful. I have to repeatedly pinch myself to make sure that I am awake.
