Samuel’s P.O.V

The annoying girls said that the ball was tonight so I just needed to find where the ball will be hosted and what to wear. I mean, the chicest clothes that I had were a black jean and a white button up shirt, but the jeans were ripped at many places and the shirt had many stains on it. As I was wondering what to wear, I entered the clothing shop to go to the restroom.

“Mmm… What should I wear at the ball…”? I mumbled under my breath as I walked past the cashier, but it seemed like I said it a little out loud because the next thing I knew, I was dragged to the back door by the owner.

“ Sam! I didn't know that you’d be interested in going to the Alpha’s ball!”, said the owner with an excited voice. She was a pretty lady with brown hair and baby blue eyes. She had a pleasant soothing voice and a gentle look in her eyes.

“Well...There will be a buffet so yeah…”, I shyly said, “But anyway I have nothing to wear and I don't know where the ball will be hosted so I don't think I will be able to go.” I explained with a more confident tone.

“Oh Sam, Sam, Sam…”, She said as she shook her head as if she was reprimanding a kid who did something wrong, “You don't need to worry about the clothes, I own a clothing shop! And no, don't tell me that you don't want to be a burden or that you don't have money! I know what type of person you are, and I know that you won't accept my help, but please even if it's not for you do this for me. You didn’t accept my offer to come live with me or to take the food I gave you, but at least accept this. Since the first time I saw you, I have always considered you as my son and it will make me really happy to see you in a suit that I made, see you go to a ball and maybe find your mate…So please...And call me mom.”, she said with a serious tone and looked at me with puppy eyes. What she said was true, if I could, I would surely refuse but after what she said at the end about me being like a son for her and those puppy eyes, she gave me, I just couldn't say no.

“Okay, I will go dressed in one of your suits, but I will surely repay you in the future”, I said with teary eyes and a shaky voice. It was the first time someone cared about me, so I was really emotional, and she even said that she considered me as her son! She made me think of my mom...I missed her so much…

As if she sensed my mood becoming gloomier, the owner grabbed my hand and dragged me to try different suits. For a few hours, it was just me trying suits one after another until we finally settled for one.

The outside was a deep blue while the inside was black with turned edges in front of the chest maintained together by a single dark button. The buttoned shirt under it was also black and a matching tie was included. There were only three pockets, two each sides of the front at the bottom and one at my chest. The one in front on my heart contained a handkerchief with the color of ink. All in all, the suit was dark which was making my pale skin and bright blue eyes pop up even more.

After picking some accessories, she brought me to her home and made me take a real shower. She then combed my hair and made me put on the suit. She took a hundred pictures saying that she felt like a mother seeing her child go to prom. We made our way to the car and went in the direction of the ball.
