Blake's POV

Everyone was gathered on the field for the succession ceremony. The mood was vibrant and everyone was happy. The moon was nearing its peak. I turned to look at Rea who standing by my side with her gorgeous appearance. She smiled at me, making my heart flutter. People were whispering to each other about how good we looked together.

Mia and Kyle were behind us. Kyle has been acting strange as I said. Earlier, when I asked about the girl persistently he snapped at me. That was a bummer. As a friend, I didn't take it personally but my wolf did. Kyle realized his mistake and bared his neck in submission. I barely managed to keep Ryker at bay when he almost attacked him. I decide to leave his room before I lost control over Ryker.

Ryker was also awfully edgy. It was like he was ready to kill. I don't understand what's wrong with him. I tried to talk to him but he just shut me off. I was confused but I decided to let it slide because it is a big night and I don't want to ruin it. Nothing was going to get in my way.

My parents were standing in front of the whole pack along with the elders who are going to perform the succession ceremony. My father Sean Grayson and my mother, Miranda Grayson, have been the Alpha and Luna of the Blue Moon pack for over 25 years. They decided that they would step down once I turn 18 years and that is today.

Both of them did well as the leaders of the pack. The had been times of difficulty when rogues threatened to destroy the pack but they held on and continuously led the pack to victory with each fight. I admire them but I find myself questioning whether I am fit to fill in their shoes. There's more to being a leader than just being born an Alpha. That is what my father always told me.

" When my father stepped down as Alpha, I thought I was ready to take over from him. I realized that I was wrong when I had a mountain of problems to solve. I didn't know what to do or where to even begin. That's when I turned to my father and asked him for help. He then told me the words that I then passed on to my son, There's more to being a leader than just being born an Alpha. You don't automatically become a leader of a pack when because you have Alpha blood," my father says emphasis on ' Alpha blood while looking in my direction.

His words resonated within me.

" Blake, my son," he continued. " This is your turn to find out what it is to be An Alpha of the pack. All these people around you will be depending on you to lead them forward, keep them safe and give them the strength to fight beside you when the need arises. It's your duty as well as your future Luna to love and protect the pack."

I smile and nudge Rhea who is blushing profusely.

" I don't want to take up a lot of time. With what I have said, I hope that my son has headed my words. It's time for the blood oath," he announces.

It was time. In a few minutes, I will be the Alpha. The elders who were seated rose. My father beckoned me to come over and I walked away from Rea.

My father gave me a big hug and then he pulled away to inspect me. We were almost the same height but I was an inch or two taller than him. He had a proud look on his face that made all my worries melt away. It was a look I earned all these years of hard work.

" You have all grown up son. It feels like yesterday when I read you and your sister in my arms. It will only be a matter of time before this moment is for you and your son." He was emotional with tears glistening in his eyes. He is a soft big bear but when he gets angry, he becomes hella scary. I smiled at him.

" Thank you father for believing in me. I wouldn't be here without you."

" Hey, you jerk!" A tiny fist lands on my shoulder. I turned to see my scowling mother. I pretended that she hurt me just to tease her.

" Aah, that hurts," I cry out hoping her anger melts her anger.

" You deserve that. Why are you thanking your father as he did it on his own? You traitor," she at me accordingly making all of us laugh. I quickly embrace her lovingly and took in her scent. The most calming and heavenly scent.

" I would never forget to thank or give love to my lovely mother. I was saving the best for you. You know that right?" I whisper to her while still hugging her. " You naughty boy," she says giggling. We pull apart and begin the ceremony.

My father and I stand in front of each other. And elder hands over the knife and sacred chalice to my father.

My father looks at me seriously. " Are you ready?" he asks and I nod my head.

" Words."

" Yes, I am ready," I say firmly.

" Bring your hand forward," he commands and I extend my right hand to him. He takes it and makes a swift cut on my palm. He quickly hands the knife back to the else and grabs the chalice so that my blood drips into it. I didn't feel any pain through it all. The cut had started to heal. My father repeated the same process with himself combining our blood in the chalice.

The elder took the chalice and started chanting something in Latin. I felt a surge of power through my veins and a bond with every pack member was formed. I was now connected with everyone as their Alpha. The intensity made me feel overwhelmed and disoriented but managed to get ahold of myself.

" Now you are the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack. These are your people and you, their leader. "

Howls of approval were heard from the crowd and I felt a sense of pride. They accepted me as their Alpha. My eyes met with Rea. She was the person I wanted to share this happiness with right now.

Once the cheers toned down it was time to make the final oath.

I placed my right hand on my left breast and recited the oath.

" I, Blake Grayson, accept to be the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack. I swear to protect my pack. I swear to lead them to greatness without showing any fear. I swear to never back down from any challenge and I swear to always put the pack first."

They howled again in cheers.

So now that was over I went back to Rea wh ran up to me. " You did it, babe. I am so happy for you!" I should be able to feel it now, right? I pulled her into my arms and stayed like that for a little while sniffing her scent but nothing changed. I pulled back and looked at her.

" Do you feel anything different, Rea?" She looked confused for a second but she shook her head no. I kissed her pulling her body impossibly closer to mine. No, nothing. There were no sparks or tingles. Everything that would tell me that she is my mate is not there.

I pulled back in shock. This could only mean one thing. She is not...my mate?

" Mate," someone said. I looked behind Rea to see my sister, Mia standing there looking at me like she wanted to kill me. Her wolf has surfaced and it sais Mate? Who is her mate? She marched over to us and pulled Rea away from me.

Both Rea and I were still confused but it was clear when Mia grabbed Rea aggressively and kissed her. Right in front of. Surprisingly I didn't feel hurt or angry. Everything made sense. She was not my mate but my sister's mate. The only thing surprising is that I didn't know that my sister liked girls or maybe I just never cared for it.

Rea broke off the kiss looking shocked, disgusted and embarrassed. I looked between her and my sister without knowing what to say or how to react to that. Rea ran away and Mia was about to run after her but I grabbed her arm to stop her.

" Don't go after her. Give her space to digest this," I say calmly. She sighs disappointed and walks away.

I was left alone like an idiot. Moments ago I was so sure that things would go my way. I just lost the person I considered the love of my life, to my sister. Was I heartbroken? Yes, I was but there was not even a fighting chance.

The rest of the night was just a blur. I drowned myself in alcohol trying to wash away my sorrow. My emotions were all mixed up and I wasn't so rude what I was feeling aby more. And everyone was right. I got ahead of myself. This was something beyond me and I couldn't have foretold. That was foolish of us to make an assumption so confidently I wonder how Rea is feeling. What about Mia. Ive been with her Mate for such a long time unknowingly. She must be upset with me. Oh man. This is such a royal mess. It wasn't a great night after all.

Blake ran towards him and picked him up and placed him on his shoulder and spun him around." Good shot my boy! You are a super star!" Blake said to river.Mia got on her feet as well. She pulled me and said, " Mommy, I want to kick the ball too. I can do it too."I smiled at her knowing where this was going. Typical little Mia. Ever since she was born, she seemed to be on her own path. She didn't want to be her brother's little sister. She wanted to be older and better than him. Her competitiveness was cute but a little concerning at time.I remember one time she and River were climbing a tree in the garden. They were competing on who could go higher than the other. Of course River was going to win. She did something surprising. She pulled River's leg and he lost his balance and fell off the tree, breaking his arm.I was so shocked that day I didn't know what to do. She

    5 months laterBrielle's POVI didn't know that pregnancy would be such a pain. Mood swings, swollen feet, cravings, back pain, you name it. I never thought one of those pregnant ladies who got emotional over every little thing or get weird cravings but guess what, I am. The other day, I wanted a raw mango. Later it was mint chocolate. I hate mint. It tastes like fucking toothpaste but now that I craved it, I suddenly couldn't get enough of it.My feet got swollen a lot and Blake loved giving me a massage. When I cried and cursed him out for getting pregnant, he never lost his patience with me. Instead, he gathered me in his arms as best as he could and would let me chew him out but in the end, he would whisper sweet nothings into my ear, telling how beautiful I am and how lucky he was to have me. That made me feel a lot better. The garden was my favourite place these days. Just sitting on a rocking chair under the tree watching other little kids running around carefree made my heart

    Blake's POVIt's been an hour since I came down as my mother requested. I was sitting amongst everyone but my mind was back with Brielle. Each moment spent away from her, I he'd back from running back to her. I was so lost, everything happening in front of me was a blur. I couldn't be there anymore. I was too restless and it wasn't helping. VI excused myself and made my way upstairs. Opening the door to my room I thought I would find Brielle still laying on the bed but she was no where. I went inside in alarm. Where is she? I looked around the room wandering if she had finally regained consciousness. If she did, where is she? Where did she go without anyone noticing? In what condition is she in?I was about to go search for outside but I heard water running in bathroom. I looked in the direction of the bathroom. She must be in there. I went there and went inside. She had her back facing me. I felt all kinds of emotions flowing through me as I thought my eyes were deceiving me. Not un

I want to survive. I can't leave yet." What do you want. Tell me!" I acted tough. I can't show that I am scared." Must you always think the worst of me? I came all the way here to help you," he said to me sounding a little offended.I couldn't make out whether he was serious or just pulling my leg for fun. Right now, I am desperate and I am afraid that what ever dispicable schemes that Kael came with, I might just fall for. But at this point, what could be worse than promising him my soul?I decided to hear him out. It's not like I have any other choice anyway." Fine. I'll listen to what you have to say. I warn you that I am not in a tolerant mood so this better be worth it."He snickered." I might be a demon from he but I'm not as bad as you think. No matter. We will have all the time in

    2 weeks laterBlake's POVI was sitting beside Brielle as she slept peacefully. It's been a very rough fortnight. Ever since that night, everything has been bleak. As the days go by without any change from her I get scared. The baby is fine but Brielle won't wake up. I am afraid that she might stay in such a state for a long time. What of our child. She might not get to see the baby be born. I was at a dead end in what to do. I blame myself. I should have tried with my all to stop her from performing that darned ceremony. It almost cost her life.For all those days, I refused to leave her side. Anything could happen and I don't want to be away. I stayed in the room all day and had my meals sent here. I made sure that it doesn't get suffocating. I opened the windows during the day and let fresh air come in during the day, I handle everything she needed and I wasn't comfortable with letting other people do it.I always made sure to talk to her hoping that she can hear me and hang on to
