CHAPTER THREE The night was long and eventful, the goddess of the moon watched us as we exercised the liberties of her gift. Dante made love to me all night and when the moon was its brightest, could not control himself any longer and marked me. I knew what a mate's mark was. Before she died, my mother had filled my juvenile mind with tales of the werewolves and their fated mates. Although her stories were not one of searing passion like mine and Dante's, it still portrayed the same mystic surge of love that I felt now. "And they lived happily ever after. The end" is what my mother would say with a smile while I would be grinning from ear to ear. They were meant to be bedtime stories but I never fell asleep listening to them. I was always too excited to do so. Today, the tales I had revered since childhood have come true for me when my alpha and mate howled into the night and dug his fangs right on my neck. In that single moment, everything I knew about him was being rewritten as a different Dante Malakai was unfolding before my very eyes, the Dante I could get used to kissing and touching and making love to every night. The Dante that I love. He had restrained himself just in time before I bled out and I could see the worry in his eyes when he saw me in so much pain. A smile appeared on my face then. "I am so sorry, I should have prepared you well for this" he said as he pulled me towards himself as if to shield me from the pain with his strong arms. I will be lying if I said it did not work. There in his arms, I was filled with new strength that made up for the one that was taken from the massive loss of blood. In his arms, it felt like I was healing faster than I ever could as an omega. I felt powerful, I felt alive, I felt loved. Up until that moment, my wolf had been the driving force of our connection. I was still fighting this alliance with every resolve that my mind could muster but in the face of this, all my walls came crumbling. I love you. I wanted to say those words even though I would have given my life to hear him say them first but before I could speak or hear expressions of our love, the fatigue from losing so much blood consumed me and I fell asleep. No sooner had my eyes been shut to one world than I plunged into another. This new world was so beautiful I never wanted to leave. I had seen my mother and she was preparing for my ascension ceremony. It was the day that I would officially become Luna of the Pale moon pack. I saw all manner of colors and werewolves and this time, they all had smiles on their faces and praises on their lips opposed to the glares and the taunts that I was used to. I had been adorned with several necklaces with different moons attached to it. My dress flowed in beautiful blue silky fashion from my shoulders to my knees. I was so elegant, I felt like the prettiest werewolf in the world. Just when I had made myself with the ambience of this place, I heard her voice and a discomforting feeling began to rise in my stomach. Everything was perfect until she arrived "You think you can be Luna when I am still alive?" The venom in the voice was unmistakable and untraceable to no one else but her, Raven Artemis. Raven was a plague on my life in the real world and it was already enough, I did not need her in my dream as well but just like Raven was fond of going to places she was not invited to in the real world, she had gatecrashed my dream wedding as well. "Get out!" I finally said something I have been meaning to say to her for a long time but never had the courage. I could tell she was not expecting such a comeback from the look of disbelief in those green eyes. Raven just walked on to my spot like I had not been talking to her. With one strong hand, she sent me a few yards off the platform I was standing on. And that's when I saw him. Dante didn't even spare a glance at me and intertwined his hands with Raven. The sight stabbed daggers into my heart. "I am your mate. I should be your Luna" I cried. "You're just a weak omega and you are unworthy to be named my luna, so Know your place" both Raven and my mate chorused this and that's when everything went blurry. When I opened my eyes, it was dawn and I was drenched in sweat, I rolled over to find to my utter mortification that I was alone. Dante left. The scenes from my nightmare began to play out as I hurried dressed to go looking for my mate. Life had taken a lot from me, I would not sit idly while it takes my love as well. All dressed up, I ran with all my remaining strength towards the pack square, unfazed by the angry glares and insults that I was showered with. I could smell his scent, he was close and that filled me with joy and every sense of fulfillment. I was going to see my mate again and oh, what a pleasant surprise it would be for him. "What are you doing?" I felt a strange figure lunging at me and grabbing my arms, as I took in the face, I beheld my mate in his glory and a smile formed on my face. "I have been searching for you.’’ I muttered trying to hide my happiness. "You can't!" firm were his words "But I am your…" "You're just a weak omega and you are unworthy to be named my luna, so Know your place"
