“My hot future Alpha is coming! Be ready to make him feel home” said Lily with a wide grin.
“He is not coming here to marry. I will try to make everyone from their pack especially the Alpha and Luna to feel home. Now, get out of my way” I said moving away from the betrayer who gave me only half of the news.
“Oh, come on. It will be fun. We need to surround ourselves with good looking company. I mean good company” said Lily with a small chuckle.
It wasn’t a slip of tongue, it was slip of truth!
“Be a little gentle and get ready to greet your future brother-in law” said Lily jumping like happy fluff ball.
“Whatever! Stop following me! I am done talking to you!” I said running away from her.
“Listen to me! the hotiiee alpha..” shouted Lily following me to nag me more.
One week later,
I woke up early in the morning to get ready for the ‘big day’, The day of the Merge. From today onwards I and my whole pack have to bear the burden of dealing with Moonshine for God knows how long. I was helping my mom whole day for their accommodation.
Around 6 my mother kicked me back to get ready in my room for the formal party that my parents arranged for our guests.
I took a quick shower again and came out to see a champagne colored mermaid lacy gown lying on my bed rent free. It was beautifully embellished with rhinestone of the same color. There was also a belt of the same color rhinestone to complete the look. The dress was just gorgeous after all it was my mother’s choice.
I was blessed with good looks and height as I inherited the best genes from my parents.
Since, I was young, I have been called the most beautiful girl from our entire pack and also from some adjacent packs, which always helped to keep up my confidence. Nobody was ever rude to me for not changing. All I ever heard from people were compliments.
I wore the dress and surprisingly it fit perfectly and even had a slight trail. I walked in front of the mirror to take a good glance at me but I almost tripped because my leg tugged in the dress.
“Oh sh*t!” I cursed the length.
The dress was fitting perfectly at my curve, making me look even more curvy than I already am. I am not too curvy but I have a beautiful hourglass figure.
The color of the dress was going well with my pale skin tone and even complimenting my amber eyes and golden-brown color hair. I was not wearing any make up and still, it was making me look this pretty.
Just at this moment, the door of my room opened and my mother entered.
“WOW” slipped her mouth.
“Thanks mom” I replied almost immediately.
‘Being hungry for compliments is a female’s nature’ I thought grinning.
“My shopping worked! You look incredible!” said my mother taking her time to observe me in her ‘successful shopping’.
“Stop it, mother. You are making me blush!” I said hiding my strawberry red cheeks by covering my face between my palms.
“Aww, my beautiful baby” said my mother lovingly.
“Keep your hair open and come down. They are already here. Your father will start the introduction soon, you must be there during that session” said my mother as she left.
I did a light makeup as I did not want to draw more attention than the dress is already doing. I left my hair open as my mother suggested.
I was just about to go down when the door of my room opened with a thud and black cursed cat crossed my road.
“Oh My! You look unbelievably magnificent and beautifully elegant” said Lily with a whistle.
This girl knows how to compliment!
“Thanks..” I was about to reply to her kind compliment, but she didn’t let me finish.
“And a liar said that she is not interested in my hottie Alpha” said Lily while raising her left eyebrow and looking at me like a traitor.
“I am still saying it! I have no interest in your hottie Alpha. The dress and the hair were my mother’s choice. All I did was to get in the dress and did a light make-up” I said crossing my arm on my chest, hurt by the false accusations.
Then I noticed her black bodycon dress with heavy jewelry and smoky makeup probably to snatch attention of that weird future Alpha.
“And why did you decorate yourself like a Christmas tree?” I asked with narrowed eyes,
“To grab his attention, Duhh!” she replied shamelessly.
Honesty is in her Blood!
“Okay. Whatever. Let’s go down” I said in a casual tone while taking her hand.
But she removed my hand immediately.
“Not with you, princess of Agrabah! You are stealing my limelight. I will go first and then you will follow. Am I clear?” asked Lily in b*tchy tone while keeping some distance from me.
At this point, I was done arguing for nothing, I already had enough of everyone, so, I just nodded before replying,
“Alright. You go first, Your Majesty”
“That’s more like it” said Lily grinning like a Cheshire cat.
She went down and texted me to come down immediately.
When I was moving down from the stairs, everyone started staring at me with admiring expressions.
‘Looks like my mother’s choice is getting more attention that I calculated’ I thought in surprise.
I was adjusting my dress as I didn’t want to step on my own dress and trip on my face in front of a room full of people.
Suddenly, I felt a strong presence and looked up only for my eyes fell to on a handsome guy in the entire universe.
‘Oh my!’
He was not a normal handsome guy, he was the most handsome guy I have ever seen with my sinful eyes! He was the kind of guy I imagined my wolf-mate would look in his human form!
The guy looked at me and a “Wow!” skipped his mouth which I shouldn’t have noticed but I did and my cheeks started burning instantly.
Our eyes met and interlocked at the same time and were admiring each other when all of a sudden, my view was blocked, thanks to my other bestie, Liam, who came to help me as a gentleman.
Liam extended his hand for me and I took with a small smile. My eyes fell on the handsome stranger again but he looked away in annoyance and disappointment.
‘What was that about?’
‘What was that about?’ I thought confusedly.As I reached down, my father came forward to take my hand from Liam’s and started introducing me to the unfamiliar faces standing in front of me.“Everyone, this is my lovely daughter, Elena. She is going to be the Luna of our pack soon” said my father proudly introducing me to the bunch of unknown faces.“And Elena dear, this is Alpha Arthur Smith and his wife, the Luna, Mrs. Emma Smith”“Hello, really nice to meet you” I said smiling while shaking hand with both of them.“Pleasure to meet you, beautiful” said Alpha Arthur with a gentle smile.‘Not much pleasure in my case’ I thought but plastered a fake smile on my face.“You have such a lovely daughter” complimented Mrs. Smith with such genuine motherly that I couldn’t think anything bad about her.“Thank you” I replied shyl
Both of our eyes widened in shock as a word rolled out of our tongues at the same time,“MATE!”Neither of us spoke. We were completely speechless. Both of us were just staring at each other at that compromising position with utterly astonished expressions on our faces.How could this be possible?I have already found my mate!He can’t be my mate!I was dragged out of my train of thoughts when the third person decided to speak in the matter.“Did you both just say ‘Mate’? What was that? Did I see sparks generating from your bodies?” asked Alice with the same shocked expressions but soon it changed into the brightest and most approving smile on her face.“You guys are Mates!” she added jumping happily.“What?” asked both of us in unison.We looked at her confusedly then at each other and I realized that we were not at stable position yet.Luke
“Hello, Ms. Elena Swan. I am Ira Blossom” said a beautiful blonde girl while standing next to Luke.‘She is a bit too close to be just a pack member, she must be a close friend’ I thought while looking at the almost invisible distance between the two.Alice, on the other hand, moved away from her in the fraction of seconds and stood next to me making it obvious that she doesn’t like her that much.Even the real late bloomer, Lily also observed that.She smiled at Luke who didn’t show any emotion on his handsome face.He then turned towards me with his signature expressionless face.“She is the daughter of my father’s beta” Luke said coldly without even glancing at her.“Pardon me. Let me introduce myself again. Hello, my name is Ira Blossom, daughter of Beta, Ethan Blossom. It’s an honor to meet you, Ms. Elena Swan, the future Luna” Ira corrected in a more elegant
“Okay, then no problem. I thought something really bad happened to…” Lily said with relieving expressions but stopped in the middle of her statement, when her unpunctual mind finally decided to translate my sentence to her.“Wait a minute! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?” she shouted in shock.“Stop shouting! Keep your pretty little mouth shut! Do you want our entire pack to know that? Why are you always ready to make an announcement about me?” I asked keeping my palm on her mouth.“He is your mate?” she asked in a whisper after removing my hand from her mouth.“Yes. When he saved me from falling, our body touched and then those sparks, you know the rest” I said in a frustrated tone.The uncontrollably romantic Lily didn’t pay attention to any of the details except for one.“Ooo, he saved you from falling, how romantic! How does it feel to be in his muscular arms?” S
“WHAT??” she asked in utter astonishment. “You heard me, ‘I will ask him to reject me’. I am not interested in him at all. I only love my handsome wolf mate. Unlike Luke, he is such a gentleman. I will wait for him” I said smiling while thinking about my dear wolf. Blood drained from Lily’s face when she heard my reply for the second time, with worried expressions she stated, “You can’t just force him to reject you!” “Try me” I said replied in a challenging tone and the corner of my mouth twitched into a smirk. “Did you forget the fact that he must also agree to reject you? You can’t do it yourself!” Lily replied in frustration. ‘Why is she so frustrated? I know everything’ I thought before replying confidently, “I know. I don’t think he is that much interested in me either. I guess we have mutual feelings about it” “How do you know that? Have you seen ‘You’?” she asked while pointing towards me, referring to the fact h
“Sister Elena, are you hurt?” asked Alice in an anxious tone.Luke tried to remove his hand but before he could remove it completely, another pair of hands held Elena’s arm and help her to stand on her feet gently. The helping hand was none other than her dear best friend, Liam. In response, Luke groaned and took a couple of steps back.“Yeah. I just lost balance” She replied awkwardly.“It’s okay, no need to be embarrassed. I lost balance all the time. I am the Queen of clumsiness” said Alice with a soft chuckle and continued after turning towards her brother,“Good Job brother”“Hmm” replied Luke with his signature emotionless face.“I told you, you don’t need to help me with those stupid boxes. I can do it myself” said Liam worriedly while taking the box from her hand and keeping it on the floor.Before Elena could reply, an always enraged cro
“Okay, so let the fun begin!” said Lily while spinning the bottle and everyone screamed.“Wooahhhh!”Right now, Elena was sitting opposite to Christopher, Liam opposite to Alice, Lily to Luke, Ira to Mateo.The bottle pointed towards Alice first and Liam was the one sitting opposite to her. Everyone started screaming and clapping.“I suggested the game, I did not know I will be the first victim” said Alice covering her face with embarrassment.“Okay Alice. Truth or Dare?” asked Liam in a playful tone.“As I am the first one, I will go with Truth. Please go easy on me” said Alice with a nervous smile.“Okay, who do you like the most in our clan?” asked Liam in a curious tone.After hearing the question, the tensed muscle on Alice’s face lightened up.“This is the easiest question. You are so kind” Alice complimented Liam for hi
“What the hell!” said Mateo angrily. He was still unsure that what he heard was right.But to confirm it further, Liam got from his place agitated.“What did you just say?” asked Liam, he was the first one to get up and move towards Luke to break his mouth so that won’t be able to utter any nonsense about Elena again but Elena stopped him by holding his hand.Luke eyes went from Liam to his hand and finally to their intertwined fingers. A loud groan of disapproval left his mouth.Followed by Liam, Mateo and others got up to attack the person who insulted their Luna but Elena and Lily stopped them on time.‘Merge wasn’t a really nice idea, was it?’ thought Lily.“Don’t be mean, brother. Who are you to judge? She will take care of her own things. You don’t need to meddle in her business” said Alice in an enraged tone.“You are being too much, Luke”
