"You are my mate"

♦ Abby’s POV ♦︎

︎︎

Days passed in a blur, and finally, it was Sunday. The day before, Daniel had told me that it was actually the Plenilunary Enthronement party. At the party, Alpha lex was going to announce his retirement. Which means that Daniel was going to succeed his father. My Daniel was finally going to be Alpha. And I was going to be his Luna.

I woke up early, as usual, put on my jogging outfits, and headed down to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of water and I got out.

It was still too early that the fog covered almost everything. The pavement was a bit slippery, fortunately, I was wearing my skid-resistant shoes. I took a deep breath and felt every atom of cool air diffusing into my flesh. My wolf, Amber, was very excited. I could feel her, Yearning to be unleashed so that she could sink into the forest.

Ten minutes for Pre-jogging Stretching, I played a soundtrack for Working out and got to it. After stretching, I returned inside and shifted, then I put on my water-resistant watch, finally giving Amber the wheel.

She Sniffed the cool breeze through her nostrils, and let out a sigh of relief. I could feel her frenzy to be let out again. ¬Now this is life! ¬ she exclaimed as she sprinted down the gates of the factory toward the main road that led to the National park Forest.

She passed to the guard and mind-linked him a Hi, then he replied. She dashed toward the forest and sank into the deep

woods. She continued toward the football ground that was abandoned long ago.

She ran Twenty laps, but she barely broke a sweat! She paused for a moment and then She walked down the waterfall to cool down.

Standing on the edge of a very long steep hill, it was like sixty feet deep. Down the fall, water pitter-pattered to the black

rocks, evaporating into a thick cloud of vapor. A soothing smell of moist vapor made its way to her lungs. She took a deep breath

and closed her eyes, to let it sink in.

She spread her arms, put her palms together, then pointed them to the sky and leaped from the ground. She made a triple front flip before pointing her arms down to dive into the cold water.

After she cooled down, she checked the watch for the time. It was five minutes until the end of the morning run, as my schedule was structured. She stood up, shook her fur, and sprinted back home.

The party was scheduled for the afternoon starting at sixteen, so I had plenty of time to do my chores and resume my book,

which I was reading.

An hour before, I prepared for the party. I put on a long black dress that almost covered my heels, with a thin strap that was

a bit revealing. Standing in front of the mirror, I realized how older the dress made me, then I changed.

I put on a knee-high red dress that had a natural waistline and a see-through upper bodice, with completely Transparent long sleeves. Its straps matched with my bra and it showed almost all of my upper chest and shoulders. I also put on my high heels and a pink purse. After wearing my makeup, Daniel called, telling me that Dylan was on his way to pick me up.

It wasn't my first time being in the packhouse complexes, so I was familiar with the Garden, where the party was being held.

We arrived right on time when the band started playing. The garden trees were illuminated by colored fairy lights, the swimming pool was also illuminated by underwater bulbs. There was a stage that was built opposite the main entrance, facing the outdoor dance palace.

Dylan showed me the table, where the triplets were sitting, and I joined them. On my way, Dylan signaled Daisy and she stood up. She approached me and hugged me, telling me how beautiful I was that evening, then she took Dylan’s hand and they went to another table with other friends and co-workers.

When Daniel saw me, he stood up, pushing the chair he was sitting on, and he waited for me. I could smell his excitement from like ten feet away from him. He was wearing a black suit with a dark purplish-red shirt and a black tie. He was staring at my eyes in awe, as I cat-walked in slow-mo toward him.

I tried to escape his gaze by avoiding eye contact, but I couldn’t. Inevitably our gaze locked, and my face heated with blush.

When I was near him, I felt His aura intensifying, which sent tingling sensations and chilly down my spine. He finally took

two steps forward and hugged me. His chest brushed against mine, which made me feel weary. His beard tickled my neck,

my heart pounded my chest, as he whispered through my ears “You are so beautiful”

“Thank you, so do you” I replied in a very low voice, trying as hard as I could, not to lose it in front of everyone, but clearly I was stupefied.

I looked down my waist, and I realized that his arms were wrapped around me, stiffening the contact, which prevented me from falling to my back, given my strength at the time. He sniffed the air, looked at my eyes, and said “You are Nervous!. There’s no reason to fear”

He slowly let go of my body, by releasing his grip. I felt like telling him to hold on a little longer, but I was too shy to tell him, so I didn't. We sat down in opposite seats and chatted. We talked about a few different things, it's not as if we were not familiar with each other’s lives. We’ve been Best friends ever since he beat the hell out of Arnold who was bullying me. But we never talked about being each other’s mates, even though I knew he was the one. We just focused on our studies more than anything.

Alpha lex climbed on the stage with a glass of champagne and everyone kept quiet to hear what he had to say.

After everyone paid attention he said “It is with great pleasure, I'd like to notify you all about my retirement. As you know, Tonight will be the night of the full moon. According to our Heritage, At midnight there will be a Plenilunary enthronement. I will be stepping down, giving my son, Daniel, full Leadership of this pack. You are all welcome to witness the Succession and coronation of your New Alpha Daniel, alongside with his Luna, if he has one!”

That last sentence made everyone crack into laughter, as they stared at Our table where we were sitting.

"In the meantime, enjoy the party," he concluded, coming down into the crowd, mingling with parents, everyone congratulating him, as they cheered.

It was getting late when Daniel told me to follow him inside, that he wanted to show me something. I followed him inside their house, and he led me to his room.

It was a wide room, full of paintings of trees and pets. It smelled just nice, filled with a lovely cologne. He closed the door behind me and asked me to give him my purse. I didn't hesitate, so I gave it to him and he threw it on his Wide cozy-looking bed.

He took a remote control off the table and turned on the subwoofers, there was a slow, sensual beat, romantic lyrics, and instrumentation anchored by acoustic guitar playing in the background.

He Retracted and walked backward without moving an eye on me, then he stopped when his heels hit the base of his bed. He slowly sat down and put down the remote control, removed his Suit and his shoes, and loosened his tie.

I started panting, trying to keep my hyperventilation low so that he wouldn't see how needy and nervous I was at the moment, but I knew well that he was smelling my whole situation.

He stood up, walked a few steps toward me, and grabbed my hands slowly. He raised them and gently kissed their backs, saying in a sexy french accent "Care for a dance mon amie?"

His supernatural voice sounded more deep and gentle than ever before, which acted as a final blow to my already melted body. The tingling sparks down my stomach, summoning my goosebumps, was the only thing to feel.

I didn't know what to do, so I just raised my eyes and Stared at him earnestly, and slowly gaped involuntarily. My Lips, regardless of the lipstick I was wearing, started to suddenly feel dry and I bit them and licked them unwittingly.

I didn't reply to his question, but my look couldn't agree more. He pulled me nice and gently toward his hips, I could feel his lower abdomen rubbing against mine. He matched my right palm with his, lowered my left hand and fixed at the back of the middle of his torso, and slowly started to synchronize with the beat. I was familiar with bachata dances, but I felt like letting him, and drift with his waves. It was super slow anyway.

The footwork was almost matching, but I didn’t care about his moves, I just submitted myself to him and allowed him to lead the way. He twisted and double spun me; I was feeling very light for I had lost sense of my surroundings but him. That spin almost threw me to the ground because I forgot that I was in high heels, but he caught me by my back. My heart was racing, a blink away from bursting, my hair dangling behind my back, my back and upper body rested on his arms as I suspended horizontally under his chest. His scent sank into my nose and Amber silently wailed in pleasure.

He lifted me slowmo, supported my back by his palm, and paused dancing. He brought his handsome face closer to mine and my panting intensified. Slowly I closed my eyes and I felt his lips touching softly mine, as I felt him out. I Kept my lips just slightly parted, and we continued kissing for at least ten seconds before letting go. He Kept his hands active the whole time. Arousing chill shot through me, and I moved my hands to cup his soft face, stroke his hair, and caress his neck. He took a deep breath and said “Abigail, You are my mate”
