After that night things seemed to be quiet. Perhaps to quiet roy was planning something. Something they did not yet know but it had to be coming. Luca was pulsing with anxiety. Trick of the mating bond is she now knew how deeply his worry went. He shared that the night he found her something pushed him to look for her. Something he never felt before something his wolf had never felt before either. Like he was desperately afraid.

Part of her had a feeling he was terrified of going through it again. She wish she had more in her to offer him comfort with. She was in own little world of panic. He had escorted her back to their house in the hills after they had breakfast at the pack house. He wanted to get started on her announcement ceremony and she didn't really want to face the pack members without him yet.

So she sat in the empty livingroom of her new house. Trying to distract herself with deciding how to prepare the house to be lived in. She loved the pack house don't get her wrong it was her home for a long time. But her and Luca both knew Roy knew she was there and the longer she was there the more of a target she made everyone inside it. She still couldn't shake of the memory of the pain the dead lycan's felt.

She was googling the difference between a duvet and a Comforter when Krystal came into the house about scaring her out of her skin. "Ella! I'm here!"

She let out a squeaky fuck and flinched full body looking up from the computer towards her sister in law. "Hey Krystal knock next time? Don't you have like work? What brings you?"

Krystal laughs and comes in completely revealing the several bags and boxes shes carrying which earns a resounding groan from Ella. "Well for one im a Delta, I'm rarely needed on the day to day. I am however working today. Your my work, My job is very diplomatic of sorts. So I am here to prep you for your Ceremony. Its gonna be in a few hours and it takes a while to get ready. Normally I'd take you back to the pack house since its closer to the ceremony area. But Luca said you may feel more comfy here where people cant hear us and stuff."

Ella stares at everything that Krystal was now setting down on the floor around them. " All of that is just for tonight?"

Krystal laughs and shakes her head. "Most of it but since I was at the store to get your gown. Luca mentioned my clothes Aren't really your thing so he had me pick you up a few different things. I hope you don't mind. "

Ella scrunches her nose and narrows her eyes "Depends what you got me?"

Krystal grabs a shirt from a bag and tosses it over. It was a crop top with artistic sketched tarot cards over the breast with long sleeves sewn under the tshirt sleaves on top. She absently looked at the tag and frowned. "Its perfect, but... this is my size how did you know?"

She smiles as she tacks out a formal dress bag next. "I asked Luca, I figured mine weren't a perfect fit so he made sure I got all the right stuff."

She brightness that filled Ella's face. "I never told him my size.. Did he like guess by looking at me? Or like measure me in my sleep!" The embarrassed squeak she heard in her own voice only added to her horror. Which only amplified when Krystal broke into rolling laughter.

"No silly, your bonded now he just checked your absent memory for it. My husband knows when my size changes without ever asking too. Congrats by the way. Im sure you would love to change into your new clothes. But its Ceremony day the only thing your putting on is this gown! So get up! Get up! Shower time." She hung the dress bag over her arm and came over and grabbed ella's hand and pulled her up. As the computer slid with a gentle thud to the ground as Ella's legs unfolded from under her. All the blood rushing to her feet.

She felt the pins and needles of her feet as the numbness she hadn't even noticed was chased away by the blood. Her groan of discomfort at the sensation elisted a absent minded laugh from Krystal. "Don't worry playing dress up wont be that bad come on" Ella didn't even bother correct her and jus tobediently followed after her upstairs. " Luca had the water turn on so we could get this all done without having to leave until its time. "

Ella felt herself brush as she was escorted through what would be her master bedroom to the beautifully built bathroom. It had top of the line beautiful marble counter tops on solid oak stained dark cabinets. The Floor tiles where black marble it seemed. The walls painted tasteful bright tones so the black back wash tiles over the shower and tub didn't overwhelm the room in darkness. All the fixtures where Sterling Silver. She liked the crisp beauty of Sterling Silver. She wondered if Luca knew almost subconsciously when building his house that she would want it this way. She imagined it would be perfect with a bit of decorations and essentials to make it feeled properly lived in.

She almost forgot crystal was there until she hung the dress on a near by Towel Rack and turns to look at her. "Go on now get showered ill just be moving the rest up here. The mirror is huge but it will help a lot for primping." She looked around then panicked and looked at krystal.

"I don't have any products or towels where not even moved in yet."

Krystal merely smiled and came over hugging her suddenly. "I know your kinda freaking out. But as my new big sister you should really get use to the fact. I know everything, Im always right and I always plan ahead. I have a whole bathroom set, Cute little toothbrush nd soap holders. Towel set. And your favorite bath and shower products thanks to your mate. All downstairs just give me a bit to get it and get ready okay? Consider it a house warming gift. Now in"

Ella just stood kinda taken aback and nods slowly waiting until Krystal had Scurried out to quickly undress. Fold the clothes up and step into the shower. It was fit for too so was the jacussi tub across from it. She liked that the glass was frosted in the perfect band across the center so Krystal's flittering in and out wouldn't result in her being flashed. She had not yet gotten use to her own mate seeing her undressed her new sister-in-law wasn't going to be any different. She played with the water dials Squealing just as krystal came back arms full of stuff as she splashed herself with ice cold water.

"fuck! I almost expected it to not turn on. " Her teeth chittered some as she panicked and grabbed the nob trying to avoid the water as much as she can till the warm water was on. Then scurried to the far end. Her sister in law cackling from outside the shower she looked over and stuck her tongue out. "stop teasing me im under a lot of pressure man"

Krystal put her hands up in surrender after she emptied them. Satisfied by the mercy she looked at the water it was steaming now she slipped into it and sighed happily. Krystal knocked on the glass and she looked over. The girl then tossed several bottles over the top of the glass. Ella quickly caught them all and set them in the build in shower shelf. Then waited as a wash cloth and floofa was tossed over next.

she quickly saw to cleaning up from head to toe scrubbing her skin into a pale pink color her anxiety about what she would go to when she got out making her be a bit rougher. Once she was out she sat on the toilet shaving her legs as Krystal kept her disctracted talking about her son.

when she finished her lotion afterwards suddenly krystal opens one of the boxes which she noticed was kinda like black little box suitcase. Inside was a ton of makeup. Her eyes went wide then looked at krystal. Putting her hand with a single finger up. " One rule, don't make me girly man. I was raised with 3 brothers im not a perky girl. "

Krystal rolls her eyes. "I was raised with two. I am a perky girl. Your just edgy cause of the mysterious badgirl vibe you want to put out. Don't worry no girly just elegant bad ass deal?"

She sighed and nod while Krystal got to work. Once satisfied with the makeup. Krystal began to try and tackle her now mostly dry black hair. She tried a few different looks before getting exasperated this time it was Ella's Turn to laugh. Ella took the stuff from her brushed it out good then took a blow drier running it through adding volume to it all. Then grabbed a flat iron and smoothed it down. "There we go much better. My hair doesn tdo tame it does its own vibe. This is our best shot."

Krystal looked at her a moment then grabbed some simple drop earings and some shiny black arm band. Putting it all in place. "Okay there is one more piece of jewlery but you will get it in the ceremony. Time for the dress. "

Ella nods and stands up ushering her out. Once alone she let the towel go and began to put on the black lingerie laid out for her. And then when comfortable as she can be in the fit she looked at the dress bag and taking a shakey breath moves over and slowly pulls the zipper down. Her breath catching as she saw the beautiful gown infron tof her. "Oh its perfect Krystal!" She called out smiling as she took the dress of the hanger. Slowly undoing its fastening and stepping into it. Pulling it into place and zipping herself as much as she can.. it drapped in a low neckline so her breast looked beautiful then draped like ribin around her waist before connecting to the long flowey skirt with its modest leg slit.

After a moment Krystal came in helped her finish zipping it up and then helped her into the modest heals. Stepping back once she was secured in and fully ready Krystal looked her over quiet before breaking out in a huge smile " Your beautiful Ella. My mother would have been proud to pass down her legacy to you. " She said with a soft break in her words as tears filled her eyes.

Ella was mused by the show of love and took a shakey breath as her own eyes watered some and she laughed. "Lets hope I do her proud. " she chuckles softly and then reaches out pulling her into a hug as the two laugh. "Im glad I get to call you my sister. I don't know how to have a sister but I couldn't ask for a better one"
