The next morning, everything was just hazy in my eyes. Things happened as if in a fog, I dressed up in my beautiful silver gown, radiating the moon goddess’s beauty. Earlier I would have cherished the moment but not today.
Today was different.
Lizzie and Emma were waiting outside my room for me, they had a sweet smile on their face. But I knew from inside they were plotting against me. They were enjoying my misery.
I entered the wedding hall, leaving both mother and daughter behind me. They were not able to match my long strides.
In the big hall, all pack members, Logan’s family as well and the Wolf Council were present.
I moved forward alone, matching hard stares from everyone else. Without waiting, the ceremony began and when the council asked if I would take Logan as my mate, I did what I had decided to do.
“No, I, Grace Hawthorne reject Logan Harper,” I announced with steel in my voice.
The hall fell into deep silence, I could hear the sound of sweat dripping from Logan’s forehead or my father’s increasing heartbeat.
Logan's face contorted with a mixture of anger and disbelief. "Grace, what are you doing? This is our wedding!"
“Not anymore. I reject you.” I announced once again.
My father, standing nearby, was seething with rage. He stepped forward, his face contorted with fury. In a fit of madness, he raised a hand as if to strike me, but before he could make contact, a commanding voice rang out, stopping him in his tracks. "How dare you lay a hand on my Mate?"
Xander had appeared in a flash of power, his presence filling the room. His eyes bore into Daniel’s with an intensity that sent a chill down everyone's spine.
Everyone’s face paled seeing the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, standing on their turf, anger rushed through Daniel’s features and he roared. "Not your mate, she is my daughter."
Xander cut him off with a wave of his hand. "You dare to touch what’s mine and I will show you what real Alpha can do for his mate." Xander’s growl had an intensity that shook even The wolf council.
His deep blue eyes bored into mine and a slow smile grazed his feature, he gestured to me to come toward him and I did.
“Miss me Darling.” he purred, and a chill ran down my spine. This person could be my undoing. He sn*ked his hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him.
Once again I was left enchanted by his scent.
Logan, too, was fuming, but the coward he was, he dared not challenge Xander. Instead, he turned his anger on me. "You think the Werewolf Council will tolerate such blatant mate theft?"
I barked a laugh at this, and suddenly the whole hall was shrouded in darkness, and the video started playing.
In that video, all can see that Logan was pounding Emma, ruthlessly. The sound of their moans and grunting filled the room, the sound of slapping skin on skin was evident, and so were their faces.
“Stop this video.” Emma shrieked, but all in vain.
“You know what the Werewolf Council won’t tolerate more?” I taunted Logan.
“Unfaithful Mate.” I added, watched as Logan, Emma, and Daniel’s faces turned ashen, as if they had seen some ghost.
A heavy growl came from where the council was seated, and the Alpha barked.
“An unfaithful Werewolf can never be the Alpha of the Pack. We, the Werewolf Council, announce that Logan Harper can never become the Alpha.” His voice had so much power that even Xander, for a moment, showed his neck.
But it happened so fast that I thought that maybe I was mistaken.
Logan's knees buckled and he fell down on the floor. Emma tried to offer some comfort to him, but he pushed her away like she meant nothing to him.
But seeing Logan’s devastated state didn’t do anything to me, I wasn’t satisfied, I wanted more.
“In front of the whole Blood Moon Pack and the esteemed Werewolf Council, I, Grace Hawthorne, in the name of Moon Goddess, take Xander Vaughn, Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, as my Mate.” I announced, with a steely determination in my voice, and waited.
“I, Xander Vaughn, in the name of the moon of Goddess, take Grace Hawthorne, Luna of the Blood Moon Pack, as my mate.” He announced.
As this happened, a little spark was ignited inside me, I was left baffled with the sheer intensity of the bond. My eyes widened, but I announced,
“I announce that Xander is the Heir of the Blood Moon Pack.” With that he sealed his lips on mine.
I was caught off guard by this, his lips were sucking mine with a bruising intensity, and we struggled for domination. I opened my mouth to moan, and he took that as an invitation for further exploration. His tongue fought with mine and I had never felt like this.
This was not my first kiss. Each one of them was sweet, but nothing like this ever crossed my mind. This was nerve wracking, something that I have never experienced before but always longed for.
We were both breathless when we broke apart. “This is going to be fun,” He smirked at me.
Oh, no. This wasn’t what I signed for.
What happened after my mating ceremony was something that I had expected. Daniel was furious and what made me even more happier was that he couldn’t do anything to me.I had the support of not only the werewolf council but also my mate, Xander, who everyone knew would not think twice before ending Daniel’s life.Daniel had only one choice and that was to see his power slip in front of his own eyes. I knew he was not going to back down, he was silent but that meant that he was brewing a new plan to uproot my life or to drag me where he wanted me.But I would die before I would go back under his thumb again.On the other hand, Logan was distraught, he was looking hopeless and embarr*ssed. His father didn’t even try to console him. My heart ached for him when I saw him but in another second it hardened thinking about what life he had planned for me.He deserved no sympathy from me, nor did he deserve any position.Maybe it was karma, he tried to take everything from me and now whatever h
The words uttered by the lady tilted my whole world. What she said made no sense, and maybe she was just happy.Maybe too happy.I smiled uncomfortably and looked at Xander, who was smirking at me.“I can’t wait, please don’t make this old lady wait. I want to see Xander’s kid running around the pack,” she said and looked at Xander playfully.Xander chuckled and moved toward me.“For that to happen, you all first have to leave her. I can’t have her if you all keep hogging her.” he teased and sn*ked his arm around my waist.“I want her for me,” he said and I could feel that there was an underlying threat in his words.I visibly gulped because now I was afraid.I was in enemy territory and this was not in our agreement.The pack members laughed at us, making me blush.“Stop teasing the girl and go have some rest.” the lady laughed at us, before moving out of our way.With his hand still on my waist he led me toward his house.“You can free me now,” I whispered to him, but I yelped as he
Xander chuckled, “Oh you will pay for that little mate,” he said in his dark domineering voice.But there was something else in his voice, a hint of tease.Like he was amused that I locked him outside.But as I heard his retreating footsteps, understanding dawned on me.What have I done?I can’t just lock Pack’s Alpha out of his own room. And that to be the one who was my mate.I moved to open the door, but I stopped myself.I couldn’t do that too, because that would be going against my own word.My self-esteem didn’t allow me to do that.I took a deep breath and waited.Maybe I would just wait and see what the consequences would be.I could do that.I looked at his king sized bed, the comfort it would provide my restless body.“Yes, I can do that,” I whispered to myself.But I couldn’t be any more wrong because the whole night I was tossing and turning on his comfortable bed.Even though the room was everything I wanted, still I couldn’t sleep.Because anticipation of his next move w
After the tour of the Pack, Xander took me back to our house.Our houseIt seems so foreign. But over the tour, I realized that Xander was not my enemy, he might not be my friend, but the enemy was a very heavy word.He helped me when nobody did, he saved me from hell and gave me another chance at life.It doesn’t matter he did that for his own benefit, but still, he helped me despite the hatred he held for my father and for my pack.When we entered the living room, I noticed that the house was empty.No servants were there.Smart people. They knew when to give us privacy and when to disturb us. I smiled.Considering all the good aspects of Xander, I decided to extend an olive branch to him.But before I could utter a single word, ignoring me he headed upstairs toward our room.I followed him, meanwhile, he started losing his shirt.When I entered the room with him, I eyed his bare torso. His well defined muscles were gleaming because of the sweat, making his scent more sweeter.Lana
I sat on the edge of my bed, clearly where Xander had placed me. My phone rang once again, making me wince.Making dread settle in my stomach, I couldn’t believe the audacity of this shameless woman. My heart sank thinking about the new possible ways she had thought to make my life hell.Emma flashed on my phone and instead of picking it up, I thought of thrashing the phone on my wall.But alas not all dreams could be true.I took a deep breath and answered.“What do you want?” I hissed, my voice held a tone of caution, contemplating her next move.“Oh, my, my. Is this the way you talk to your sister, my dear?” Emma purred onto the phone, her words dripping with honeyed insincerity.“No, but I do talk like that to wretched women. Shut your sh*t hole that you call a mouth and tell me what do you want?” I tightened my grip on my phone, I wasn’t slightly interested in hearing what Emma really wanted me to know.She chuckled into the phone, “Aww, in reality, I want a lot of things, but th
After getting dressed I waited patiently in the room, Xander and I were not allowed to see each other before the ceremony.I was feeling jittery, the high slit of my dress was making me uncomfortable, but I was excited too. I wanted Xander to see me in this dress, I wanted his appreciation.After what felt like a century, Aunt Mary came, she smiled at me and for a second I started missing my mother.This was supposed to be her right, but maybe in another life or in another world, I will have her by my side.A lone tear rolled down my eyes, but I wiped it down before Aunt could notice it, but she saw it nevertheless.“Don’t shed tears, my child, this is a happy occasion.” she patted on my shoulder.We both left the room and headed toward the gathering.“Only tears that should be in your eyes today should be of pleasure,” she whispered as we entered the hall.My eyes widened at her and she winked at me.As we both entered the hall, the room parted for me, in two perfect halves.There in
I moaned again when his tongue dwelled deeper in my mouth and I gasped. My hand went up to his chest and slowly to his neck.With one hand still in my hair, he slid down his hand into the slit of my dress, touching my inner thigh, and I parted my legs for him.He brushed his hand on my panty and applied the barest of pressure, making me squirm in the place. But as soon as the touch came, it was gone.I made an unsatisfied noise in my throat.We were both breathless when we broke the kiss.My heart sank when he took two steps back thinking that maybe it was a mistake and now he was regretting it.“Do you like this dress?” he asked me.“What?” I was confused.“Do you like this dress or not?” he asked again, a picture of composure.“You are asking me this now when you were done fu*king my mouth.” I snapped and turned my back on him.I was furious, how could he?I heard his breathing and then felt a sharp tug.“Oh my god..” I exclaimed and held my torn-up dress, preventing it from sliding
“You can’t have s*x with me because I am a virgin?” I asked cautiously, again thinking about my next move.I didn’t know if I was moving in the right direction or not. But right now I really didn’t care.I wanted Xander and my virginity will not be the one getting in my way.Rather, it would be a stepping stone for it.He took a deep breath as if the answer pained him.“I don’t want to pressurize you into something you don’t want to do. I want you when you are ready, not when we both are acting crazy in the lust haze.” he replied, making me confident.“So you want me?” I asked again“So much that it pains me to say no to you.” he grunted.I came forward and kneeled in front of him, without touching him.“You know, nobody ever touched me like that, you were the first man to see me n*ked.” I purred as I rubbed his bulge inside his pants.“Stop, Grace.” He hissed and held my wrist to make me stop.“I have never seen anyone’s cock let alone feel it. If you won’t teach me, someone else wil
