onrad POV
All the alpha’s from the council file into my study. Heads held high and arrogance radiating off them. They knew this was coming and they didn’t care.
As soon as Liam closed the door, I unleashed on them.
“I TOLD YOU ALL I WAS NOT DOING THIS AND YOU WENT BEHIND MY BACK ANYWAY“. My Alpha aura was fully up and my eyes glowing gold as I stared daggers into them.
Alpha Anthony just looks at me smugly and speaks very calmly and matter–of–fact. “We told you it was a council decision and we voted for it after you decided to leave the council meeting before the vote“.
Alpha Angus chimes in as backup. “Even without your vote it was 5 to 1 so we went ahead. All the she–wolves have been brought here for the party and will be introduced to you tomorrow. You can pick your Luna from them“.
I look to the other two who just stare at the floor. Of course, the two weaklings backed them up in the vote but remain
silent now.
“Cancel this whole thing now and get out of my house tonight“.
Alpha Anthony chuckles. “That’s impossible. They have all paid the $100,000 entrance fee and are here to start the proceedings. As we have announced the start of the ceremony it has already begun. Refuse to participate now and you might as well walk out there and abdicate“.
The audacity of these fuckers. Do they not remember I am King. I run my hand through my hair trying to find a way of out
this without just killing them all.
“You want me to pick a Luna. Fine. I pick Lewana“.
Alpha Anthony speaks even smugger than before. “She’s not an option. She is not a member of a pack in the alliance and
therefore, not eligible“.
“She is part of the Royal Moon pack“, I growl in Alpha Anthony’s face.
Alpha Angus snarls, “We know she hasn’t taken the blood oath to you so she is still a rogue and besides, the North will never follow a rogue bitch on the throne“.
I grab him by the collar and pin him against the wall. In my lowest threatening growl and with eyes full of gold I stare directly into his eyes. “Don’t you dare disrespect my mate“.
All the Alpha’s freeze at this for a moment. They clearly hadn’t expected me to bond as much with Lewana as I had over the last month.
Liam steps in trying to keep the peace and me from killing everyone.
“What if she was an official member of the pack. There has always been a royal pack so they should get a candidate in the ceremony. If she takes the oath tonight she would be eligible for tomorrow“.
Finally, Alpha Anthony’s smug look falls and a tinge of worry appears in his voice. “Technically that is true but she would
1/2
need to make the oath by midnight and it’s already 11. I doubt you could convince her in the next hour if you haven’t in a month. She will also have to compete with the others to prove she is the best candidate“.
“I’ll do it“. We all turn to the door and see my beautiful girl standing there. She is in her PJ’s cami top which shows of far too much to the other Alpha’s for my liking. I take my jacket off and rush over to put it on her shoulders.
“You know I choose you and don’t want you to do this“. I know she can sense my pain at this through our bond as she is sending reassurance back.
“I know. I also know that next month we have to stick together“. I just smile at her. How did I get so lucky?
“You also can’t go by your human name Eve anymore. You will need to be referred to as Lady Lewana from now on. Your true wolf name. You’re OK with that“.
“I’m more upset that it won’t just be you using that name anymore“. She gives me a cheeky smile.
“Well, I’ll still be the only one to call you moonlight“. I pull her in for a kiss, much to the discomfort of the other Alpha’s.
I pull up my sleeve on my right arm and use a claw to cut open my wrist.
Alpha Anthony in desperation makes one final plea. “You would really let a rouge into your pack and threaten your other
members“.
“She’s not a rouge. She’s mine“.
I hold my hand out for her to put her wrist in it. I gently cut her wrist. She doesn’t even flinch. I then cut my own. She just stares at me lovingly the entire time I do this. Just before we make the blood connection she pulls away slightly.
“You might want to mind link the pack to stop what they are doing. My blood can pack a bit of a kick“.
I just smile at her and mind–link everyone. When a blood connection is made to join a pack it increases the pack power. All members can feel the growth and the power increase is based on the power of the individual joining.
We join wrists so our blood mixes and hold on to each other.
“I Alpha King Conrad, extend an offer to you, Lady Lewana, to join the Royal Moon pack”.
“I Lady Lewana, accept your offer to join the Royal Moon pack and will follow you, Alpha King Conrad as my Alpha from this day forth“.
As the pack bond is formed it feels like a lightning bolt firing through every nerve. I hold her hand tightly as I drop to my knees while struggling to maintain consciousness. I look over to Liam and he has dropped as well. After 10 seconds it calms down to a warm feeling in my stomach. Not just the pack bond but I can feel the mate bond much stronger than before.
I stare at my girl who has a smile on her face. She talks to me through our new mind–link. “You OK shadow“.
I talk back while sending love down the bond we just made. “Never better“.
I slowly start to get up and realize Liam is unconscious. He starts to wake up slowly and sounds groggy.
“Holy crap woman you weren’t kidding“.
212
All the other Alphas just stare at my mate stunned.
She turns to look at me. “Shall we go to bed. You’ve had a big day after all“. I just nod.
She turns to smile at the council. “See you all in the morning“.
