“Luna, Alpha is waiting for you downstairs. Guests have arrived and the auspicious time will start soon.” One of my personal maids came to inform me.
Hearing her word, my heart skipped a beat, and it felt like my life is close to its ending.
I wanted to turn around and flee from this place, but I was helpless.
“Give me some minutes. I will be there.” I said, and she left after bowing to me.
In an hour, the moon will be at its highest point and then they will perform the ceremony.
My Luna ceremony.
Which will bind me to this pack and also to Ezekiel.
It will wipe away the power of my mate bond and will bind me with Ezekiel forever.
If I would have been an alpha, this bond wouldn’t be able weak my mate bond.
But Ezekiel’s power is more than mine, so his aura will dominate the aura of my wolf.
I took a deep breath and get up from my seat.
I looked at myself in the mirror for the last time.
From now onwards I won’t be Lilia.
I will be someone’s mate and Luna of this pack.
My existence will be wiped out and I will live under someone else’s shadow.
I was wearing a silver-white full-sleeved gown. Its neckline was also a modest type.
The dress was a mermaid gown, so it was defining my figure perfectly and there was a matching tail that was flowing on the floor while I was walking.
My hair was tied in a bun, and my face was fully covered with makeup.
Though I was looking beautiful, my heart was crying.
With every step I was taking toward this Luna ceremony, I was walking farther away from my mate.
How I could be happy?
But I was helpless.
My entire pack’s life is depending on me.
If I reject Ezekiel I am sure he would take a step that would be bad for them.
He has never mistreated me, but I have seen his ruthless side, too.
My fate was changed the same day my dad lost his pack.
I am being Luna of this pack, but I have become a slave of Pack politics.
I took a deep breath and look away from the mirror.
I can’t think about this now.
Ezekiel was waiting for me downstairs and I need to fulfill my promise.
The promise will provide the safety of my pack members of Rocky Hells.
I walked out of my room and maids came to help me manage my dress.
Its long tail is brushing on the floor so they hold them and elevate them from the ground.
I walked forward, and they walk behind me.
When I reached downstairs, Ezekiel was waiting there in a white tuxedo.
A beautiful welcoming piece was playing somewhere, and everyone looked in my direction.
Ezekiel was looking handsome like always, but nothing could touch my heart.
When I reached him, he took my hand, and we walked together toward the aisle.
There was time for the ceremony, so the guests were socializing.
Ezekiel and I sit on a couch placed for us so that people can come to meet and congratulate us.
Some alpha came to congratulate us, and Ezekiel was introducing me to them one by one though I barely give notice to what they were saying.
I was absentmindedly nodding my head politely or sometimes passing some smile to convey a thank you.
My mind was occupied with the thought of my mate.
I was feeling both sad and guilty.
What would I do if I ever meet him?
I didn’t want to betray him, but do I have any other option?
My heartbeat was running high with all those thoughts.
Suddenly a wave of air hit me, which bring along a scent that made a shiver run down my body.
It was a beautiful smell that hit me like a storm, and tingles run through my body.
It was the smell of earth after rain.
I really liked this smell, and I used to run in my wolf’s form after the rain in my pack. I was so addicted to this smell.
But during winter, it was almost impossible to find this earthy smell here.
And we were not in the woods, we were in the middle of Ezekiel’s mansion, which was built in the middle of the pack.
Knowing how distant from nature Ezekiel was, though he was a werewolf it was almost impossible to get this smell here.
Then how could I smell this?
I looked up and try to find the source of the smell, but my eyes find nothing but a crowd of people busy on their own.
How could I find someone based on a smell?
I thought it was my mistake and shook my head dismissively.
But then I noticed a person walking forward toward me and the smell become stronger.
He was a handsome, good-looking man with a perfect build.
I didn’t know why, but looking at his Grey eyes my heartbeat paced up.
I could notice his pitch-black hair, which was neatly combed back and a few strands were falling on his forehead giving him a comfortable look.
He was so handsome that I couldn’t look away from his face though I know it was embarrassing me.
And he was also looking at me with the same passion.
But neither he tried to come forward, neither I could walk toward him ignoring all the people present here for my Luna ceremony.
“Go to him.” My wolf was howling in my head and doing some abnormal movement, which I would have thought was a dance of joy if the occasion would be different.
But I ignored her happy dance as I was busy checking him out.
“Lilia, this is Alpha Jordan.” Ezekiel’s voice made me come out of my trance.
I looked away from that handsome man and politely greeted Alpha Jordan.
Alpha Jordan talked with Ezekiel and then leave there making a place for others.
But my mind was sticking to that person and when I looked again, the man was walking toward us.
When he walked forward, my heart was beating as if it would come out of my chest.
My wolf was doing a happy dance. I don’t know why.
When he reached toward us, I thought he would greet Ezekiel like everyone but, instead of talking with Ezekiel, he forwarded his hand toward me.
And I also forwarded my hand as it went on him like a magnet.
When our hands touched, I feel something strange and a shiver run through my body.
I felt sparks where his hand was touching me.
I closed my eyes blissfully and take a breath inside, trying to inhale his beautiful smell as much as possible.
“Hello, Alpha Damien,” Ezekiel said, and I hurriedly leave his hand.
Why I was behaving like this?
I looked downward, feeling guilty as I was misbehaving.
Ezekiel must be thinking bad about us and I didn’t want him to create a scene.
But while holding his hand I didn’t feel wrong.
I felt my hand belonged there.
And those sparks that I felt made something born inside me.
“Hello, Alpha Ezekiel.” I felt his husky voice ringing in my ears like music, and I look at him again.
“Meet Lilia, My…” Ezekiel was introducing me to him like always, but he cut him midway.
“My mate,” he said and I look at him shocked.
My heart stopped hearing his word.
But his face didn’t have any emotion like he didn’t just drop a bomb in the middle of so many people.
What did he say just now?
Me, his mate?
That’s why my wolf was behaving like this and my body was urging me to reach him.
I was confused.
I have heard that when you meet your mate your body reacts.
But from the age of fourteen, I am here.
And I never know how you can know who your mate is.
But my heart was telling me he was telling the truth.
My heart was craving for him, which never happened before.
Ezekiel never forbade me from meeting my parents.
But they never informed me about the signs of a mate bond which can help you recognize one’s mate.
Because they thought I would never need that.
I was betrothed to Ezekiel.
“What the rubbish you are talking about?” Ezekiel’s voice growled in the room and I flinch.
Everyone around the room looked toward us curiously, but there was a deadly silence.
Everyone was waiting for the drama to get unfolded.
“I am telling what is truth.” The man who claimed to be my mate said calmly.
He was looking at me with adoration and passion.
Maybe that is what you call love.
But remembering my situation and the promise that was holding me back made me feel defeated.
This was my Luna ceremony he was attending.
His earnest look made a tear roll down my eyes as I feel I was betraying him.
Hi readers, Let's start the journey of Damien and Lilia. Please support me with your comments and don't forget to vote me with gems.
“Alpha Damien, we used to be friends. Don’t ruin this thing by making some stupid mistake. Your action will spoil not our friendship but our pack’s peace too.” Ezekiel Threatened him. But my mate was looking at me unfazed and it felt like he can’t see anything other than me.He was looking at me like I was so treasureI can feel the atmosphere changing as the happy moment is changing into something ugly and I know this thing will get nasty soon.“Do you think I care? I have waited for my mate for twenty-five years of my life. Nothing is more important than her.” He says, and I look down.I couldn’t look into his eyes as I was guilty.I know he is here to claim what is his, and I didn’t have any right to stop him.I was fated to be his.But my fate has played a cruel game with me.My fate has bound me with Ezekiel.Even if I want to wrap my body with his scent and curl
I was waiting for too long, closing my eyes for his dreadful announcement.Tears were rolling down my eyes continuously.“Lilia,” he called me, but I didn’t open my eyes.I can’t face him anymore.I have disappointed him.I have failed our bond. I couldn’t give him what he deserved.“Look at me,” he said sternly, placing his hand on my cheek and I open my eyes and look at him with an apologetic gaze.“I, Damien, Alpha of the Moon Flower pack won’t accept your rejection. You are my mate and will always be, I would never accept it till my last breath.” He said lovingly.His face held a smile but his eyes are red with tears.But he was holding it inside.I felt guilty seeing her pained expression.“No, you can’t do that. She has rejected you. You can’t reject her rejection.” I hear Ezekiel growl.He was act
Damien’s P.O.V.It has been a month since Rose left our life.I thought I wouldn’t be affected.But her last words left a deep impact on my sanity.How couldn’t I notice she loved me so much?When she died, I was feeling guilty about her.But there was not an ounce of love.I was just regretting taking her as my mate and ruining her life.I was so lost in my sadness that I couldn’t realize that she was suffering, too.I wanted to provide her with a place where she can live happily and peacefully.But I didn’t know this palace became a cage for her and she wanted her freedom.I was happy that she got her peace.But I feel guilty thinking about how I am the reason for her suffering.Her last word still rings in my ear.“But I hope this time you find your other part of the soul. Your mate.”How could someone love another person with so much
When I got in my car and Peter started the car and we drove away from his pack, leaving my mate with that asshole.My wolf came to the surface and started to yell at me.“How could you leave her alone? She needs us. She needed to be protected.” My wolf, Chaos, was angry. He wanted to protect her keep her close and comfort her.Leaving her with someone else was making him unsettled.He was constantly complaining in my head, and that was causing me a headache.“Shut up.” I berated him and he whimpered sadly.I rarely become angry with him because most of the time he acts calmly.But today he was not thinking as I think.We can’t act on impulse today.This matter is complicated.“Do you want our mate to hate us?” I asked, and he shook his head.He was scared because I scolded him so loudly, but he was not thinking sanely about what I could do.“Have you not noticed how his word was making her submit to him? He has something in his hand which was making our mate helpless. He was using her
Lilia’s P.O.V.The next morning when I woke up the sun was shining brightly.I look at the clock, and it was hitting twelve.I become shocked thinking I slept till noon.I tried to get up, but I hiss in pain.My whole body was sore as I was sleeping on the floor and my feet were paining as I left my wound untreated.My head was also aching badly.And I was feeling dizzy too.I had nothing after lunch on the last day, so maybe that’s why I was feeling weak.I got up and knock on the door to take a chance, but like last night no one bothered to open it.I thought Ezekiel’s anger must have calmed down after the passing night.But when I remember how angry he wasThe room was a disaster, so I slowly got up and walked toward the bed.Though I didn’t want to share the bed that Ezekiel used my body was retaliating.I needed to lie down before I fall unconscious againSo I walked toward the bed and lean on the headboard tiredly.A few minutes later, someone opened the door, and a maid entered
I was so scared that I didn’t know what to do.My wolf Selena came forward and gave me the most needed strength.“Lilia, we can’t lose today. Chaos has told me to stay put. He would come to take us.” Selena said.Chaos was Damien’s wolf.I have heard from Selena how lovesick she was when chaos talked with her and how she wanted to be with him.I don’t know about Damien, but if Chaos has promised Selena, he would surely come.I can’t get weak and fail our mate.I desperately wanted to get away from him, so my instinct kicked in.I bent my leg and hit him with my knee where the sun doesn’t shine.His face contorted in pain, and his hand also got loose on mine, giving me a way to escape.I knew this is the moment I need to act sensibly.I pushed him with all my might and get off the bed, making as much distance from him as possible.But before I could reach the door, he held my leg and pulled me down.I fell on my face and hit my forehead on the table which was kept there.My head was bl
Damien’s P.O.V.It was noon, and I was standing here in front of the pack house of the Rocky Hill pack.Yes, I am here to meet Lilia’s dad and discuss something important.I know he is alpha here, but all pack decisions must have to approve by Ezekiel according to their deal.I know though he was dealing with this disrespectful position out of desperation it was better for him to agree to this than live a life like an omega.He is alpha by name and I am sure he would be keen to free himself from this problem and gain control of his pack.And I would be delighted to give him a chance to fulfill his wish. After all, I am his soon-to-be son-in-law. Don’t miss the sarcasm in my words, though.He is the only thing that is stopping my mate to come running into my arms and accepting me as her mate. And he is also the reason for my mate’s misfortune.Though this matter will benefit him a lot, I was not happy to give him this satisfaction.But I wanted to make sure nothing can force my mate to
When we got in the car and peter started to drive, I closed my eyes as I wanted to relax for a bit.My mate’s face was disturbing me constantly as I was worried for her.This one day was looking like an eternity, and my wolf was constantly on edge.I think Ezekiel must be giving her a hard time.I couldn’t expect something else from him, though.Peter’s curious voice made me open my eyes and look at him with an annoyed expression.“Alpha, do you think he would agree?” he asked, and I laughed mockingly.“You think I want him to win the fight?” I asked back, and he looked at me confused.“But I thought…” He tried to say, and I cut him midway.“Don’t use your tiny brain in my work. You are not good at that. Do what you are good at. Take my orders and do them perfectly.” I said, and he shut up.But like always, he couldn’t keep his curious cat inside and disturb me again.“But why did we come here, then? We could challenge Alpha Ezekiel directly and take Luna with us,” he asked and I shak
