Felicity POV
I was standing in front of the mirror in the dress Katy gave me, it was a floor length, black sequin dress with a cut going up to my thigh. I kept pulling it up but it kept on falling down my shoulders.
“It supposed to be like that silly” Katy exclaimed from the door “it sits on your shoulders, that way it shows off your neck” she lifted her head showing me her neck, which had a massive bruise on it, she must have seen my face and the shocked look I gave her. “Ohh this? This is the mate mark, Seth left it on my neck yesterday. I’m officially his and trust me when I say it wasn’t painful” she went over to the dressing table which Kilian had installed when we were training and pointed to the chair. “Come on sit down I’ll do your makeup and hair”.
“What’s wrong with it?” I said holding my hair.
“Well, it’s in a ponytail, a ponytail Felicity for a ceremony, come on I’ll help you”.
After half an hour my long black hair was curled and my face had a natural make up with my classic cat eyeliner added.
“Magnifico!” Katy shouted when she looked at me, “You’re definitely getting marked tonight babe”.
“I was going to ask about that Katy” I didn’t know how to say it as I looked for words in my head “How do you mark a mate?”
“When you have s*x and you’re both about to c****x you have to bite each other and I mean BITE! It is the best feeling in the world but it’s different for everyone else, I can’t tell you what it will feel like for you but I can tell you one thing… you have not experienced anything like that yet”.
As we walk down the stairs to the main hall, I could hear loads of people talking, hundred at least and Katy just gripped my hand tighter. I spotted some of my sisters by one of the pillars as they looked up at me and smiled. When they noticed me, the entire hall went quiet and Katy left me in the middle of the stairs.
“Stay here” she said before quickly running down the stairs to Kilian who was waiting for her. I haven’t noticed him before as he had his back turned towards me. He was wearing a slim fitting two-piece suit with a white shirt and a small skinny black tie. He started to walk up to me and I was hit with the smell of chocolate making Estrid purr in my head and my heart race.
As he got closer to me, I could hear him release a small yet powerful growl “You are stunning darling” his eyes were black with lust and I could hear his heart thumping in the chest. He grabbed my waist with his left hand and pulled me in a little closer turning to face the hundreds of guests.
“MARBLE PACK! I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO YOUR FUTURE LUNA!” the members of the pack started to clap and cheer.
“What do I do?” I asked quickly.
“Just follow me and do what I’m doing”.
Kilian led me to a small stage at the front of the hall and grabbed a knife that was on a small podium. It was too decorated and too heavy to be a weapon, even in this situation all I could think about was fighting. Kilian cut his palm with the knife and looked at me, instinctively I gave him my right palm for him to cut. When my blood came out it was a lot lighter than his, it must have been due to my human side.
He lifted his palm up in the air facing me” I Kilian Castor, Alpha of the Marble Pack want you to be my Luna, the Luna of Marble Pack, do you accept?”
I lifted my hand to meet him and our blood mix together, “I Fur… Felicity Peters, the First Daughter, accept you Kilian Castor as my mate and Alpha” suddenly my heart stopped and my thoughts collided with a wave of voices, but I didn’t recognise any of them, except for one.
You can hear me, can’t you darling?
Kilian was staring at me but his lips were not moving, he was mind-linking me.
Yes, Yes, I can- I could feel a small grin forming on my face.
“MARBLE PACK I GIVE YOU YOUR LUNA!” Everyone in the room bowed their head as soon as Kilian said it, everyone except for the Daughters in the room and I didn’t blame them I would never bow to a wolf and I never have.
After the ceremony Kilian said that I had to be formally introduced to the Alphas in the area.
“Felicity this is Markus, the Alpha of Silver Moon Pack” Kilian introduced me to a man who had silver hair not grey, silver. I recognised him from one of my missions in the past.
“We met before” Markus leaned in to kiss my cheek and I was about to move away when Kilian’s hand on my back pushed me forward.
“I hope you were satisfied with the work of my Sisters”.
“You know I was” he gave me a quick wink before walking away and Kilian’s hand gripped my dress.
“What services is he talking about?” he raised his eye brown as he questioned me.
“Why? You aren’t jealous, are you? He paid the Daughters half a million dollars to get rid of his sister-in-law”.
“Ohh yes I remember, the infamous half she-wolf half witch”.
As we made our way around the guests, I was welcomed by members of the Marble Pack with smiles and love. Love that I felt radiating from them, that was until I saw Ophelia and Marcel. I grabbed Kilian’s hand and dragged him toward them, leading him away from the boring conversation he was having with Seth.
“Felicity, how great it is to see you” Christopher welcomed me with a hug, making Kalin growl again.
“Calm down Alpha, she is my family”.
“Ophelia, I missed you” she completely ignored me and gave Kilian a piercing look.
“Why didn’t you listen to me Kilian? I pleaded with you but you didn’t listen” she said never breaking her look from him.
“Pleaded what?” I asked.
“Your Aunt wanted me to reject you, so you could be the next Mother” Kilian confessed.
“You said a wolf couldn’t reject a mate” I was so confused.
“I said your wolf wasn’t allowing you to reject me”.
“Hold on, you lied to me!”
“I never lied, you know for a fact that Estrid wasn’t allowing you, I was just stating the facts”.
“You should have rejected her in New York, Dracula will know who she is, the power she has will bring him here” Ophelia scolded him.
“Why didn’t you tell her the truth in the first place, you’re her Aunt, you knew what happened to your sister and you knew that she was half wolf, if anyone is a liar it’s you, you said I couldn’t be with her because she was a human” Kilian barked back.
“Watch what you say to my wife Kilian” Marcel stepped in.
“What’s done is done, we can’t go back now. I don’t want my mother’s secrets to tear me from you Ophelia” I gave her a smile which she finally returned.
“We have to leave now; I will see you before you go back”. Kilian led me up the stairs to an empty reading room that only had one window through which the moon light was shining. A few candles were lit and it was obvious that it was soundproof I could no longer hear the party downstairs.
“Why am I here?” I questioned.
Kilian shut the door behind us, “You need to shift Felicity and I didn’t want you to do it in front of everyone, not in front of your aunt and sisters” as soon as Kilian mentioned shifting Estrid started howling in my head.
“You need to annoy me, again don’t you?” I asked.
“No, as much as I want to you need to do it yourself, without my help”.
“I need to take this dress off, Katy would kill me if I ripped it” I took my heels off and started to undress. “I’m so worried”. I was wearing black lacey lingerie which made Kilian growl again, he was walking round me in circles taking every inch of me in.
Estrid come on, do you want to go for a run?
Yes please.
