We are standing at the base of the steps of the mansion, waiting and watching the Alphas arrive in their cars. Natalie stands by my right side in an exquisite knee-length cocktail gown that captivates the eye of anyone who sees her.

Silver earrings and a delicate bracelet complete the look, making her a vision and making it hard for me to take my eyes off her.
