Chapter 11

Keiran extended his hand for Evelyn to take as she reached the stage. The omega was surprised but didn't make it obvious. 

Sparks shot through Evelyn's body as soon she touched her mate. His hand was warm and Evelyn never wanted to let go of that warmth. 

The Alpha retreated his hand as soon as Evelyn got on the stage, leaving the omega disappointed. 

Evelyn stared at her mate who had an uninterested expression on his face. He looked exceptionally handsome and had a built body that makes women drool over him. The omega wondered why the moon goddess paired her with such a powerful man. 

"Cutt off all the unnecessary bullsh*t and jump straight to the ritual," Keiran muttered to the priest who gulped at his threatening voice. 

Evelyn looked down. It hurts her to think that her mate really wasn't interested in such an important moment in their life. 

The priest read some prayers for a few minutes before he told the pair to say their vows. Evelyn didn't know anything about wedding vows so she memorized what Amelia told her. 

Keiran started, "I, Keiran Winter, Alpha of the Shadow Pack, take Evelyn Gray as my mate and Luna." 

The priest stared at Keiran, waiting for him to say the next vow in which he swears to love and protect his mate but Keiran just stared back at the priest with a burning look. 

Evelyn was clueless as to why the priest had a distasteful look on his face. 

The omega took a deep breath, " I, Evelyn Gray, accept Keiran Winter as my mate and Alpha." She finished as her heartbeat sped up erratically. 

The omega knew there was another vow that she had to say but she stayed silent because her mate didn't say them. 

The priest sighed and took out a tiny dagger from his book. He put the dagger close to his heart and uttered some prayers before giving it to Keiran. 

The Alpha took the dagger and pierced his right thumb before giving it to Evelyn who stared at him confused. 

"Do what I did," He said to the omega. 

Evelyn mimicked the Alpha and pierced her thumb making blood pour out of it. She frowned at the stinging sensation in her finger as she gave the dagger back to the priest.

The omega felt her heartbeat speed up as time passed. 

She looked around at everyone who was staring at them. Scarlett was smiling as she hugged her mate. Amelia gave a thumbs up while her mate was standing there with his arms around her waist. Rain was busy taking pictures of the wedding. 

The priest took her and Keiran's hand and made them hold each other. Keiran pressed his pierced finger on Evelyn's as he brought the omega closer to him. 

Evelyn gasped as a shiver ran through her body. Something strange was happening to her. She felt a tugging feeling on her right thumb before it spread to her heart. Her whole body was tingling and it made her feel slightly dizzy. 

Keiran gripped the omega's waist and brought her close to him when he saw Evelyn's legs being shaky. The girl looked at his icy blue eyes as she panted heavily. 

He felt the connection as she did. They were bonded together for life. It felt like a red string was connecting them both.

They both stared at each other's eyes for a minute longer before the omega stepped back. 

The priest took two rings and extended them to the pair to take. Keiran took the small ring with sapphire stone while Evelyn took the one which was bigger and had an emerald stone on it. 

Keiran took the omega's and slipped the ring on her finger. He looked uninterested in the whole process. Evelyn sighed and gently gripped her mate's hand as she slipped the emerald ring on him. 

The priest said some more prayers before he took both of their hands in his. "In this night of the full moon, the moon goddess being the witness, I now pronounce you Keiran Winter and Evelyn Gray Winter as the Alpha and Luna of the Shadow Pack." He said making everyone around them cheer. "You may kiss your Luna." 

The crowd went wild as they heard the words. "Kiss! " "Kiss! " They chanted over and over again making Keiran grit his teeth. His eyes turned cold as he eyed the omega who nervously chewed on her lips. 

"Don't think too much of it," The Alpha said as he brought Evelyn close to him. The omega's whole body trembled being so close to her mate. 

She was startled when the Alpha pressed his lips against her roughly. Tingles shot through her body making her head spin. 

Evelyn couldn't comprehend anything. She felt like the time froze as her mate's lips touched her. But the feeling was gone as it came. Keiran stepped back in a split second and acted like nothing happened while the omega stared at him like a statue. 

Evelyn unconsciously touched her lips. The tingling feeling was still there. She covered her cheeks to hide the redness of it as everyone flocked to them to congratulate the pair.

Evelyn sighed as the party was finally over. She leaned back on the couch in the living room. Keiran entered the house and threw his jacket on a chair, he loosened up his tie and unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt before taking a bottle of water and dowing it in one go. 

The omega blushed looking at her mate. Even though Evelyn would have loved to stare at him for a little more, she didn't want to risk it and get yelled at. The alpha had a hothead, he could explode any minute. And by looking at him, Evelyn knew he wasn't in a good mood. 

She slowly stood up from the couch making less sound as much as possible. She quietly walked to the stairs to go to her room when William and Scarlett suddenly entered the house. 

"Evelyn wait! " Scarlett shouted as soon as she saw the omega walking upstairs. Evelyn stopped to look back at her mother in law. "You should go to Keiran's room, you're staying there from now on." She said, making the omega stare at her in disbelief. 

"What?!" Keiran shouted when he heard his mother. 

"Why the hell is she staying in my room?! She has her own room, let her stay in there!" He spat out frustrated. 

"Because you're mates? " Scarlett threw an unimpressed look at her son. "And you both have to stay together. That was the whole point of planning the ceremony in a rush. " She stated as she rolled her eyes. 

 "You have to keep your Luna by your side, son. Otherwise, it will make your wolf restless." William said to his son while he side hugged his mate. 

Keiran angrily slammed his hand on the table. The sound made Evelyn flinch back a little. He unbuttoned his shirt as he walked to the entrance in a rush. 

"Where are you going?!" Scarlett asked as she chased her son. 

"Stop following me! I'll come back, I'm going for a run." He said as he ran outside. 

Scarlett stopped and sighed looking at her son's back. 

She looked at Evelyn and smiled weakly. "Come on, I'll show you the room."  

Evelyn was shaking as she walked to the room. She doesn't know how she would survive sharing the same room with her mate.

"Your things are already in here, " Scarlett said as she opened the door. 

The strong scent of cinnamon and honey drowned the omega as soon as she entered the room. The room was big, three times bigger than the one she stayed in before. 

It was nicely decorated and organized. There was a king-size bed and beside it was a bedside table and a small bookshelf. On the left side of the room, there was a big couch and chairs with a small glass table in the middle of it. 

Scarlett showed the omega a bag with all her things. "This is Keiran's closet. He doesn't like anyone touching his stuff that's why I didn't put it in there," She said showing a wooden door behind the bag. "That's the bathroom," She pointed to another door. "And that table is all his office stuff, don't touch them." Scarlett showed her a table at the corner of the room with a window beside it. 

"Can I go on the balcony?" Evelyn asked pointing to the balcony. 

Scarlett smiled, "Yes, you can. I'm not saying you can't touch any of these things but just wait for him to warm up to you." Scarlett ruffled her hair. "I'll be going then. You should take some rest, he will come back soon." Scarlett said before going out. 

Evelyn sighed as she opened the balcony window. The full moon made her heart calm a little. 

The omega stared at the moon as she thought about what would happen when her mate comes back.
