The Elite 2

Chapter 24

“That depends on Kat. I want her to plan it however she wants and when she wants. I won’t push her and I won’t rush her.” 

My father nodded in approval as we continued to eat. We spent the two hours with my family and Brandon fit in perfectly with Oli and my Dad. In fact, by the time we left I would say my Dad was actually taking a liking to him. 

After we left my parents, we went back to my room and I packed my bag. I had no idea how long we were going to be at his pack and what I was going to need. Brandon snaked his arms around me. 

“Whatever you forget, I will buy it for you.” 

“I know, but I don’t want to make you buy me things I already have here.” 

“You won’t make me do anything. I want to do it.” He said as he kissed softly down my neck. 

“You need to stop if you plan on getting to the airport on time.” 

The flight was quick and I felt like the drive to his pack was even faster. Pulling up, I noticed we were not greeted by a bunch of wolves happy to see the Alpha return. 

“I asked that nobody was here for our return. I didn’t want to overwhelm you. You will meet the entire pack tonight.” He said as if he could read my mind. 

“Oh OK.” I was a little surprised. I thought he would want to introduce me right away. 

He led me to the top floor and into the Alpha suite. 

“Make yourself at home. I have a few things to get ready for tonight.” He said before kissing me and walking out of the door. 

I walked to the master bedroom and started unpacking my clothes when I heard the door open. 

“Bran.” I heard a female voice yell down the hall. 

I stepped out of the bedroom just as she was getting to Brandon’s room. She actually reminds me of myself. Her skin was a little darker but her natural curls were full. Her eyes were a deep chocolate and honestly she was beautiful. At least I knew Brandon had a type. 

“Can I help you?” I asked, standing in front of her. 

“Who are you and why are you in Bran’s room?” 

“I’m his mate. Who are you?” I asked, trying to remain calm as my wolf pushed forward. By nature, wolves are aggressive and territorial. Even more so when it comes to our mates. 

“His mate? You can’t be. He....he promised to make me his Luna. How…how is this possible?” 

My words were stuck in my throat. Did he really plan to take a second chosen mate? All I could do was look at her. Her eyes traveled down to my neck and I saw her eyes start to get glossy. 

“Excuse me.” She said, turning and rushing out of our apartment. 

At that moment, I felt like an i***t. Did I fall for his words like an i***t? No. He loved me. He said he wanted me to be his Luna. I knew it. But maybe that is why he didn't have anybody greet us on our arrival. 

Trying to distract myself, I took a hot shower. Just as I got out, there was a knock at the door. I grabbed Brandon’s robe and wrapped it around me. I pulled open the door to see a small older woman holding a box.

“Alpha asked me to bring this to you and he said to let you know he would be up shortly.” 

“Thank you. Umm..You are?” I asked.

Eloise and I run the Omega's here. Anything you need, please let me know."

I smiled and took the box and walked back to the master bedroom. 

Opening the box, I found an elegant blue dress with silver accents and a pair of silver heels. I put the dress on and it fit me perfectly. The thin straps make it impossible to wear a bra, but it didn’t matter this dress was made for me. 

I was too busy admiring myself and didn’t hear Brandon enter the room. 

“You look amazing.” He said, pulling me to him. My backside pressed against his front. 

“Thank you.” 

“Give me just a minute to get ready and we can go.” 

He walked into the closet and when he emerged he was wearing a suit and I could tell it was expensive and had been fitted to his body. 

“I don’t normally dress up but this is a big meeting and I have to announce my Luna.” He said, kissing me. 

I wanted to ask about my visitor earlier but now was not the time. 

“Hey. What’s wrong?” 

“Nothing. We should get going. We don’t want to be late.” I said, stepping out of his arms and walking toward the door. 

I was silent the entire way downstairs and out the back door. There was a stage set up and the entire pack was waiting for us. I walked with Brandon to the center of the stage and I stood next to him as he explained the merger. 

Most of the pack was cheering and excited. Many of the faces I recognized from my time here when I recruited them. I saved some of them from becoming feral because they needed a pack. Others were just lost and rejected by their pack. 

“You have a week to decide. If you choose not to merge with us, I will help you relocate to a local pack. The sooner you inform us of your decision, the sooner we can plan housing.”

He looked down at me and smiled before turning back to the pack.

“I have even more exciting news. I would like to introduce you to my mate and your future Luna. Katrina Tilton.” 

The pack roared with approval. All except the woman that had made an appearance in the Alpha suite today. She was staring right at Brandon with hurt in her eyes. I turned only to have Brandon smash his lips on mine. 

Him kissing me only sent the pack into approving howls. He pulled away and rested his forehead on mine for a moment before turning back to the pack. 

“Have a great night and I hope to hear from all of you soon.” 

I was confused. I thought he would want me to meet the pack but he put his arm around me and started to lead me into the house. It is traditional when a Luna is announced for the couple to spend the evening with the pack. 

Once we were inside, Brandon rushed me to our room and pressed his lips to mine. I only allowed him to kiss me for a moment before I pushed him away.
