Alphas Disturbed Mate

Chapter 3

Myra’s POV

I felt like i had been getting ready for DAYS although it was probably only a couple of hours. I had been dragged into the bath, scrubbed down and had every hair not on my face shaved or waxed off me. I was lotioned and powdered and patted by many different hands. I couldn't keep track of who all was working on me. I yawned widely.

“Better stay awake, Luna. Only a little while longer” Jasmine, one of the maids told me.

“I’m not Luna yet. Is Alpha Warren out there already?”

“Yes Luna. I believe he’s talking to some of his guests. But we are about to start the ceremony”

I knew what all the fuss was about of course. I would not only be introduced as the new Luna tonight, but after the celebration I would be expected to go to Alpha Warrens bed and complete the mating ritual with him. I would be officially marked. Nerves flew through me so strongly this time I had to hold back vomit.

Eliza walked in a short while later. “I am here to fetch you, Myra. Are you ready?”

“Y-yes” I said.

“Come on then. He’s waiting for you on the stage.”

I glanced one more time at the long sapphire blue gown I had been dressed in. It hugged my body in all the right places.

“You look beautiful, Luna,” Jasmine said, watching me.

“Thank you, Jasmine.” I said as I followed Eliza through the double doors to where my Alpha was waiting for me.

As the doors opened, all eyes flew on me. I felt more confident as I saw the reactions of the men, and even some women. I held my head high as I made my way to where Alpha Warren stood at the very front, staring at me with a hungry expression.

He reached out his hand to me as I approached, and I took it, standing by his side. I looked around at the crowd in front of us and saw pop standing in the midst, wine glass in his hand with a huge smile on his face.

“Good evening everyone!” Alpha Warren boomed at the crowd and everyone fell silent.

“Today we are here to accept my soon-to-be mate as Luna of the Bloodstone Pack! She is here to guide us and love us. Her mate bond with me will help us both to be stronger and become an even more powerful pack. Do you, Bloodstone pack, take Myra Banks to be your Luna?”

“We do!” they chanted.

“Do you, Myra Burke, accept your new position as Luna of Bloodstone Pack?”

My hesitation was so short no one noticed. “I do”.

“I, Alpha Warren, accept you as Luna. Strengthen and guide us Luna.”

I felt the bond strengthened between me and the rest of the pack, as well as a surge of power flowing through me. I gasped breathlessly as the crowd went absolutely wild.

Alpha Warren's blue eyes gazed down at me with that same hunger. “Welcome Luna,” he breathed and leaned down, pressing his lips to mine for our first kiss.

My heart fluttered, and I kissed him back until he finally pulled away, breathing heavily. His eyes raked up and down my dress. “I am very excited to make you my mate later.”

I blushed, but before I could respond, the pack converged upon us. Everyone gave their congratulations. Shaking his hand and kissing mine. Everyone wants to know their new Luna. Soon, Alpha Warren was pulled away by a group of his friends and everyone was drinking.

I don't drink- I don't like the taste of it. I’m not sure how anyone can get used to it enough to enjoy it. I chatted with the few people I knew from school and answered pack members' questions on things I plan to change or improve on in the future. A few hours went by and i hadn't seen much of Alpha Warren until i felt his large hand pull around my waist.

“Are you ready to join me?” he asked.

I looked up at him, my smile faltering as i looked into those hungry blue eyes again. There was something off. I couldn't figure out why, but he looked a little angry.

“Y-yes” I stammered.

“Don’t stutter. It makes you look weak” he spat, dragging me away.

And when his breath blew on me, I realized. He was drunk. Really drunk.
