Chapter 87

Mia’s Pov

Julia and Anastasia were like a whirlwind as they pulled me from one store to another, their energy boundless while I trailed behind, already feeling the exhaustion setting in. I wasn’t entirely sure how they convinced me to go on this shopping spree, but here I was, lugging bags of shoes, handbags, accessories—and just about everything except the gown we came here for.

“Do we really need another pair of heels?” I groaned as Julia held up a sleek black stiletto with an excited gleam in her eyes. “I mean, I have more than enough pairs already.”

Anastasia, who was busy inspecting a glittering necklace, glanced over and smirked. “You can never have too many heels, Mia. You’re the Beta now; you’ve got to look the part.”

I rolled my eyes. “I thought the ceremony was about the gown, not how many pairs of shoes I can carry home.”
