CHAPTER TWO

LUCAS POV

Two months later

Hundreds of caps flew in the air as we finally graduated. Everyone was estatic.

Olivia came crashing into me as I lifted her up with a chuckle .....

"I can't wait for tomorrow" she says.

Yup finally I'll be becoming alpha and my two best friends Raphael and Nathan are going gonna be my beta's and I pray to the moon goddess I feel my spark with Olivia tomorrow, she has been so worried about it and I've been trying to calm her down but I'll be lying if I said it didn't scare the hell out of me.

"Everything gonna work out" I whisper trying to convince both her and myself.

"Dude, we gotta head to the packhouse now before the Luna skins us" Nathan said with a harsh whisper.

"I really don't want to piss her off today either" Olivia says with a nervous chuckle

"You'll be the new Luna tomorrow, what are you so afraid of babe" her best friend Anna says with a loud giggle that made Olivia blush furiously

"Yeah yeah let's get going" Nathan said dismissively that made me glare at him but he just rolled his eyes and started going.

The day went in a blur and just like that it was the morning of my coronation, I had already finished dressing, when mom came in and insisted to do my hair.

"You nervous sweetheart" my mom Julia asked with a big smile on her face

"Yup" I replied playing with my hands

"Becoming the alpha isn't what's scaring you is it" she asked looking through my eyes

"I love her mom, I want no, I need her to be my mate" I said my voice cracking a bit

"I believe the goddess knows what best if she's the best for you, she will be your mate and Luna tomorrow ,come on cheer up" she replied pressing a kiss on my forehead.

I sighed and looked at myself, my jet black hair was kept in a half updo little strands lying on top of my eyes as mom put a strand behind my ear.

"Tu es beau Mon alpha " mom said in french with tears in her eyes

"Mama" I said turning to hug her "Je t'adore" I whispered in her ear, as she hugs me tighter. Dad came in, upon seeing his mate in tears came immediately and hugged both of us tighter

"Ça va, chérie " he said in a low voice

"I'm fine, sorry seeing Lu like this just made be realize how much my baby boy has grown into a strong, brave and handsome leader" she said the last part with a light chuckle as my dad looked at me with pride shimmering in his eyes.

"Come on, time to go don't want to keep everyone waiting " he said as my mom kissed my cheek before going out as I followed her he stopped me and looked at me with love.

"Je suis honeré d'être votre père" he said with his thick french accent.

"Papa" I said hugging him as I struggled to keep my emotions in check.

"I mean it, son" I sniffled and he laughed "come on Alpha, you can't cry today" he said with an infectious smile

"You made me cry Papa", I said going out with a huff, his laugh echoed as he came behind me..

We arrived at the hall and I tried not to get nervous but it's hard when almost a million eyes are on you, a lot of packs came too, cause we are one of the biggest, powerful and influential pack in the whole and if that ain't a reason to be nervous I don't know what is.

Dad left me to go stand at the altar where my mom, twin sister and brother, two beta's and 12 elders are. I took a deep breath and started walking the closer I got, the more nervous I got but I had to swallow it up.

As I stood the altar, the elders told me to kneel before my people.

"LUCAS ALDÉRIC, you kneel here before your people and goddess, are you ready to free your father of his title and take it upon yourself to cater for all the need of your pack, are you ready to be the judge, father, protector, lover, giver and leader of this pack" the leader of the elders spoke

"Yes" I said with a deep breath

"Are you prepared to be willing to put everyone here before yourself, to be as selfless as you can be"

"Yes"

"Then let the moon goddess Selene help you in this journey of yours" he said as he stepped aside and let my dad come forward.

My dad smiled at me before kneeling  and the elder proceded.

"THEO ALDÉRIC, you have served this pack with all you have now it is time to rest and of course enjoy with your mate" the elder said with a wink to my dad causing an uproar of laughter, he cleared his voice and continued

"Lucas come stand under the moon" he said as I stood under the space in the hall which allowed us to see the full moon as it shone its light. I felt it on me, it was like the moon was passing down it's power unto me as my dad was giving me his too at the same time it felt so overwhelming for some time before I had to open my eyes.

As I opened my eyes I saw shock and joy on everyone's face as I turned and saw the cause with the mirror on the door , my eyes were pitch black with flicks of gold and silver dancing around.

"EVERYONE KNEEL BEFORE YOUR ALPHA" the elder said as I turned and saw everyone bowing before me, my parents,sister,brother, beta's, people , my pack .

"Close your eyes Alpha Lucas, as you open them may your mate eyes capture your heart" the elder spoke softly.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before opening my eyes, I instantly looked at Olivia who's eyes were glistening with hope but as I stared at her I felt nothing and I saw how her heart broke instantly, I forced myself to turn around and search all the room but I saw no one who made me feel anything, I closed back my eyes as I felt my dad's arm on my shoulder "it's okay Lucas you don't have to find her today " he said softly.

I smiled and soon the beta's had their own coronation and everyone was enjoying themselves in the party, my mind screamed at me to look for Olivia but my wolf was admant to look for his mate and I couldn't get to her.

The party lasted the whole night and people left around dawn. When I reached my room I fell asleep almost immediately with only one thought on my mind "Where are you mate".

French isn't really my first language so bear with me and to those who don't understand

"Tu es beau Mon alpha" means " you look beautiful my alpha"

"Je t'adore" means "I love you"

"Ça va, chérie" means "you okay,dear"

"Je suis honeré d'être votre père" means "I'm honored to be your father"
