Lisa bent her head and gazed at the floor afterward. I was sorry for breaking the bond with her because it would be odd to be here after we had no relationship anymore.Nate stepped forward and held Lisa’s hand. “Are you okay?”Lisa nodded. She still bent her head. “I’m okay, but I don’t know where I must go now.”“You can still stay here. You are my mate,” Nate said, caressing Lisa’s back. “Yes, Lisa. You are the former Luna of the Wild Wolves Pack. The pack is your home too. If you want to stay here, our door will remain open for you,” I offered her. Lisa glanced at Anna who still sat far from us and then me. She sighed and shook her head. “I think it will be the best to return to my pack. I feel guilty for Anna for what I’ve done. It’s not good if I stay here.”“Lisa, I know Anna well. She is merciful. Before our meeting today, she told me she understood your situation and didn’t blame you.” I put my hand on Nate’s shoulder. “You are my brother’s mate, the mother of his pup too.
My father leaned his body backward, resting his back on the couch. His fingers tapped the couch and hummed. I didn’t know why he didn’t ask his question right away. So, I asked him again. “Father, your question?”“Mimi, what do you think of serving Anna? Considering your rank is higher than her, it is quite unusual for you to serve her.” My father tapped the couch again. Mimi smiled. Glancing at Anna for a few seconds then back at my father, she cleared her throat. “Elder Horace, Mistress Anna is good to me. She also considered it weird for me to serve her, but I’m happy to serve her.”“Why?” my father asked. “She is nice and kind. Mistress Anna actually did most of the job.” Mimi shrugged and let out a sigh. “I feel bad to know I can only serve little things for her.”My father hummed for a while, then suddenly he asked Anna. “So, Anna, why did you do most of the job Mimi should do?”Anna bowed her head to my father. “Elder Horace, with all due respect, Mimi is my superior. She is
~ Anna/Victoria ~After Elder Horace and Elder Tom left Cameron’s house, Melanie held my hands and grinned. “So, what do you have in mind about the dress?”“The dress?” I stared at Melanie, confused by her question. “Oh, come on! You will be our Luna soon! I think they will announce it soon after the marking ceremony.” Melanie let out a dreamy sigh. “Imagine how beautiful the scene will be: our Alpha and you as mates on the marking ceremonies.” She giggled and raised both hands, expressing her excitement by moving her hands. “Congratulations, mistress!” Mimi hugged me. “It’s a wonderful day!” Then she kneeled before me. I frowned and offered my hand. “Psi Mimi, why do you kneel? Please rise.”“Mistress, I have a request, please? Can I continue being your maid?” Mimi asked, staring at me with a pleading look. “I enjoy working for you, and being your maid is a great honor.”“Also a prestige,” Cameron added. “You will be a Mu, instead a Psi.”Mimi shook her head, but she blushed. “I d
We had a busy morning afterward. Mimi guided Rhos to enter the living room while she disappeared into the kitchen to prepare snacks and drinks. At first the Rhos were perplexed when they came. They stared at Cameron to get a clue of why he asked them to come to his house. “Please, have a seat first,” Cameron said, gesturing his hand to point at the couch. “My woman will join us soon.”I could hear Cameron as his living room was connected to the hall. I didn’t move fast because I was careful when I stepped downstairs. When I was in the living room, the Rhos stood as they might already guess that I was the one Cameron referred to as his woman. I smiled at them and nodded. “Thank you for coming. I need your help a lot.” “We, not only her,” Cameron corrected me. He offered his hand to me, and I held it while I took a seat too. “I think my father or Elder Tom hadn’t told you anything. But besides Mimi and Melanie, you will be the first people who know about our upcoming event.”The Rhos
Before we continued our discussion, Melanie came with eight Mus. They chatted cheerfully along the hall. When they saw me, they smiled and bowed their heads. “Greetings, mistress.” I stood and gestured at the couch. “Thank you for coming. Please have a seat.” Mimi brought some additional chairs from the dining room so all Mus could sit. Mimi then returned to the kitchen as before. She returned with a tray of orange juice and sandwiches. “We want to congratulate you first, mistress,” a Mu said, representing other Mus. “We heard from Melanie you would be our Luna in three days. It’ll be an honor for us to cook you the food for the ceremony.”I nodded and smiled. “Thank you so much. I know you have been working hard for a few days ago. Now, we must ask you to do the same. So, please cook food that is easy to prepare.”One of them shook their head. “Mistress, serve our Alpha and you will be our honor and pride. Considering you are our Alpha’s true mate, we must prepare for the best.”
Three days was too short a time to prepare for our big event. As it was a once in a lifetime event, I wanted it as a moment I could treasure forever. At first, I didn’t get it why Elder Tom suggested it. I agreed because I was happy I could be Cameron’s mate, and no one would suggest that he had someone else as his mate anymore. However, after taking a nap, I wondered if it wasn’t too hasty. I didn’t need a grand ceremony, but three days of preparation seemed too rushed. Yet I changed my mind, as I already had my dress. The Rhos also picked the same color shade of flat shoes for me. They even prepared a special veil. I was eager to see it, but as it wasn’t finished yet, they asked me to be patient as they wanted to surprise me on my big day. The Mus showed me their kitchen in their building. Though they worked daily in many houses, they had a building to work in whenever our pack had a special event that required them to work together. Evelyn, Elder Horace’s maid, visited me every d
It was shocking news. How dare he threaten our pack?! I was nervous to wait for the result of the meeting. Since Cameron didn’t ask me to go with him, I couldn’t know the result before the meeting was finished. I grasped my hands. I couldn’t just sit here! With the threat of war looming, could we truly have our marking ceremony in two days from now? Suddenly, my pup kicked my belly. I took a deep breath and rubbed my stomach. ‘What do you want, my pup? Mommy’s here.’ My pup kicked again. I didn’t understand why, but I felt my pup supported me. Smiling and caressing my stomach, I whispered, “Thank you, sweetheart. Mommy loves you. Yes, everything will be alright.”When I wanted to go upstairs to rest, there was a bell ringing. I strolled to the front door and opened it. Mimi rushed to the front door too, but when she saw I was already there, she only smiled at me and returned to the kitchen. It was a teenager at the door. I smiled at her and asked, “Hello?”“Uh, hello. Miss Anna, uh
A young woman sat on the couch. When she saw me, the woman stood and bowed her head. “Miss Anna, it’s an honor to meet you.”“Oh, you are so kind. Please have a seat.” I sat on the couch next to her. “I got a message for you. Here you go.” The young woman gave me a pink envelope sealed with a heart shape. I grinned and opened the seal. There was a piece of card with a heart shape too inside. I pulled the card from the envelope and read the message. ‘Please dress well, my mate. I will wait for you at the Moon bridge today at 3 p.m. Go alone because I have a surprise for you.’ It was two hours from now and Moon Bridge wasn’t too far from here. I smiled and placed the card on my chest. “Did Cameron say anything when he gave you this?” “Uh, I didn’t accept the envelope directly from our Alpha, miss. But the messenger said it was from our Alpha for you. I only sent it to you.”I nodded. “I understand. Thank you for delivering it to me.”The young woman stood and bowed her head again. “I
