Rosalie sobbed silently in her bedroom. She was unable to leave after being dragged in by her father. Up until this point, her mother had not talked to her. The pack was aware of her disgraceful behaviour because it had been passed about. Rosalie curled her finger uncomfortably, but she wasn't concerned about Chris or the council's approval of their mating. Alex would ultimately coax it out of them. Or he would simply carry her off. No one can stop a mated pair from being together. Her problem was something else. Alex was not a typical wolf because he held the position of Alpha. That meant that she would become the Greystone pack's Lune. How exactly was she going to handle such a large pack? She was only 18 years old! She was barely an adult and had no prior experience of taking care of Alpha duties; how could she possibly take care of a pack? She recoiled in horror at the prospect of messing something up. Her train of thinking was broken up when she heard a knock on the door. It was

Trigger warning : Domestic violence In a fit of rage, Chris tore through the manor, and as he departed, the wolves cringed in fear and bowed their heads. After reaching his chamber, he slammed the door shut. Growling in anger, he contemplated breaking something. Perhaps that bitch’s neck! He couldn't believe that the Council had given their stupid blessings for that scandalous meeting! Rosalie belonged to him. How could that bitch sleep with someone else, barely days after he broke up with her? How was that even possible? Was she always such a whore? Myriad thoughts ran through his mind. Grace had followed Chris back to their bedroom. She didn't give a rat's ass about the unapproved mating. The fact that her mate had feelings for one of his Betas was her real cause of distress. He was carrying on an affair behind her back and had already made plans to have other mistresses. That made her uncomfortable. She hated to share. She was an Alpha princess after all. Wolves mated for life an

"Look who is here," a male voice said as Alex entered the main entrance with Rosalie curled up in his arms. "I see that our alpha has caught a little minx from the mating ceremony." "James," Alex smiled, "This is Rosalie, my mate," he said. Rosalie looked at the man, blushing slightly. James chuckled, "you have caught a pretty one." "My one and only," Alex nodded. "I reckon we won’t be seeing our Alpha for a long time?" James smiled knowingly. Alex grinned, "I think I'll be absent for some time," he started to walk to his quarters when he paused in mid-track, "On second thought, come to my office in two hours, there are some things I need to discuss with you." "As you wish, my alpha," James nodded. Rosalie cringed in embarrassment as he walked up the grand staircase and through the long corridor, carrying her. The lower ranks and his in-commands bowed their heads to them, sniffing at their scent. Not used to being bowed to, Rosalie shuddered and hid her face, blushing deep red,

The girls all spoke at once, "Good morning, madam, how are you?" Rosalie blinked at them. "I'm fine," then answered shortly, "Please don't call me that". It was their turn to look baffled at her. "What shall we address you as, Madam Luna? Shall we call you 'Madam Alpha'? "One of them inquired with a perplexed expression, wondering if they had offended their Alpha's new mate with their comments. Rosalie gave a quick shake of her head. "No, please, just call me Rosalie." Rosalie noticed that they were looking even more perplexed as they came to the conclusion that her request sounded strange to them. “Please feel free to call me Rosalie; I'm not used to being addressed in such a formal manner.” They gave a nod. They all chimed in at the same time, "As you wish, Madam Rosalie." Rosalie heaved a frustrated sigh, "Just call me Rosalie, please." They giggled as if they found her behaviour very amusing. "My name is Janet Malcolm. I am James's daughter," the blond chirped happily. "

Alex offered her a supportive nod; he was there to watch her perform her first official task as the Luna, not to help her with her. She was aware that she was being stupid. She realised Alex could hear her thoughts and immediately regretted it. She also praised the stars for keeping the rest of the pack from hearing her thoughts unless she projected them. Being the Alpha's mate comes with yet another wonderful perk. If Grace was capable of doing it, and she effectively controlled everyone. It would be simple. "I'll guide them, but I won't be their master." I am not that. She pondered. She formally introduced herself as Rosalie and grinned as she said, "I shall lead and hear you. I'll be respectful to all of you, and I'm counting on you all to be as well. I'll be your support, and together, we'll hold and safeguard one another. She repeated the etymological passage that Alex had put on a piece of paper for her to remember for her official introduction. "The holy moon blesses us; the s
