‘What was that about?’ I thought confusedly.
As I reached down, my father came forward to take my hand from Liam’s and started introducing me to the unfamiliar faces standing in front of me.
“Everyone, this is my lovely daughter, Elena. She is going to be the Luna of our pack soon” said my father proudly introducing me to the bunch of unknown faces.
“And Elena dear, this is Alpha Arthur Smith and his wife, the Luna, Mrs. Emma Smith”
“Hello, really nice to meet you” I said smiling while shaking hand with both of them.
“Pleasure to meet you, beautiful” said Alpha Arthur with a gentle smile.
‘Not much pleasure in my case’ I thought but plastered a fake smile on my face.
“You have such a lovely daughter” complimented Mrs. Smith with such genuine motherly that I couldn’t think anything bad about her.
“Thank you” I replied shyly.
“She is so pretty. Can you tell me your skin care routine?” asked a beautiful young girl with doe eyes which was hazel green in color. Her eyes were so vibrant making it her best feature. She must be in her teenage years. She was not too tall and had milky white skin with cute chubby cheeks. Looking at her all I could think was ‘CUTE’
“Shh, Alice!” said Mrs. Smith while holding the girl back.
“I am really sorry, she still does not know how and when to talk” said Mrs. Smith with a sigh.
“It’s okay, Mrs. Smith. I will gladly share my skin care routine with you” I replied smiling at the cute girl.
“This is Alice, Mrs. and Mr. Smith’s daughter and this is Luke, their oldest son, the future Alpha of Moonshine” said my mother introducing me with the rest of them.
“Hello, pleasure to meet you too” I said with an awkward smile when my eyes fell on the guy, I was having staring contest not two minutes ago.
I decided to take a good look at the guy from the corner of my eyes. He was also having the same eye color, hazel green, as his sister, except for the fact, he had deep set of hypnotic eyes. He had sharp L-shaped chiseled jawline. So sharp that it could cut melon in half.
He is strikingly handsome and beyond good looking! No wonder Lily was so excited for his arrival. He looked like a complete Greek God with his well-structured face and with flawlessly defined features. The fit of the suit was making his perfectly sculpted physique look ten times more sexy. The guy looks like a model!
‘What am I thinking? I shouldn’t be lusting over Alpha of the enemy clan! I can’t do this to my mate!’ I thought looking away, giving my complete attention to his younger sister, who was craving for it.
“Same here” he said in a deep husky voice while extending his hand for a handshake and looking at me straight.
Those two simple words were enough to increase my heartbeat.
‘Oh My God! He even has deep husky voice! I am going to melt. This guy will be the death of me! I need to stay away from this Greek statue!’ I thought nervously moving my hand to hold his.
I did not even touch his hand and still I am feeling the electricity passing all around my body.
Suddenly, his sister came between us and pushed him away along with his extended hand.
‘Life savior! An angel! The one who should be praised’ I thought looking at her happily.
“Move away big brother. Pleasure is all mine. Looks like we are going to have so much fun” said Alice jumping happily while holding my hand.
“I bet” I replied happily as well.
From the corner of my eyes, I could see him rolling his eyes to his sister.
I heard a familiar coughing sound, I have been hearing since kinder-garden. Whenever there is a hot company around, her tuberculosis symptoms get activated.
I turned towards her and signaled her to come forward. Honestly, she did not even need it. The moment I turned, she magically appeared next to me.
“Oh, this is my best friend, Lily Williams” I said introducing her with a small smile.
“Hello, glad to meet you all” said Lily in an excited but still elegant tone.
Looks like her plan on seducing Alpha Luke is still on!
“Same to you” replied Alice smiling at her and Luke just nodded.
“I am glad that we came to this decision of merge” said Alpha Arthur who was having a casual conversation with my father, and both the Alphas were smiling while looking at our short introduction.
“Me too. We didn’t make the same mistakes like our ancestor did” replied my father nodding in agreement.
‘Mistake? Mistake? You are calling the tough decision of my Great great grandfather as mistake?’ I thought angrily.
“I hope our pack’s will get along well and will become one” said Alpha Arthur smiling.
‘My A*s!’ I thought, these overfriendly talks are the reason for my always increased blood pressure.
My mother might have noticed my furious expression. Everyone knew my love and respect for my ancestors and hate for the Moonshine community. So she intervened before my explosion.
“Dear Elena, why don’t you show them their rooms” said my mother with a broad fake smile.
“Sure, mother” I said plastering an equally fake smile on my face and continued after turning towards the Smith siblings,
“Please come this way” I said in polite tone and Alice immediately linked our arms.
‘I like this girl already!’ I thought looking at the sweet girl.
“Let’s go” said Alice excitedly.
Luke and Lily also followed us. Liam was about to follow us too but my father interrupted him.
“Liam, please help others with their rooms” instructed my father politely and he nodded.
You don’t get to say no to your Alpha.
“See you later, alligators” said Liam while moving towards the other side.
Lily and I waved our hands at him and he left. I could feel Luke’s intense gazes on me from the back.
As my mother instructed, Alpha and his family will be staying in our chambers, our side of the pack house and Betas will be staying with Lily’s family on the opposite side. Other pack member of Moonshine will be staying with the rest of our pack.
We were moving towards my room. The room next to me was allotted to Alice, thank god! And the room on the other side of the corridor was given to Luke.
“I will show him his room” said Lily giving me the look which clearly said ‘Give me my alone time with him’
“Okay, I will show Alice her room as hers is next to mine” I said nodding in agreement not showing much of the interest in her seduction game.
“Cool” said Lily with a wink.
Luke just nodded without saying much. Does he ever talk?
Alice and I continued walking and reached near her room. I opened the door and showed her the room. I decorated her room decently but if I would have known that she would be this nice, I would have taken more efforts.
The room was decorated with woods and beige shade, keeping it minimalistic but giving it a chic modern look. It was having wooden ceiling like all the other rooms in the pack house, the brown bed was at the center of the room with beige bed sheet which was matching with the color of the walls and curtains. There was a wooden dressing table next to the bed and a huge cupboard at the side of the room. The bed, dressing table and cupboard was having the same carving on them.
“I am sorry. I had less time. I just got to know about this merge a week ago. So, I couldn’t do much” I said in an apologetic tone.
“Are you kidding me? This is perfect! Thank god, you didn’t make it pink princess room like my father! Otherwise, I would have been traumatized! You did an amazing job, thank you” she said with sweet smile on her face while clapping her hands happily looking at her new room.
‘She is so young yet so accepting’ were my thoughts while observing the polite girl.
“Glad you like it” I said smiling.
“I really love it” she said happily and continued,
“I am kind of thirsty after jumping and screaming for the whole time. Can I get some water?” she asked in an embarrassed tone.
“Oh, no problem. You wait here and take a good look at your room and let me know, if you want to change anything. In the meantime, I will get you some water” I said moving towards the door.
“Okay, thanks a lot sister” She said with her signature sunshine smile.
I was moving out of the room but I forgot to hold my dress up. I tripped and lost my balance with a small scream but a giant pair of hands caught my waist and saved me from falling directly on face.
It didn’t take much of the time for me to realize who it was! Here I was looking at those gorgeous hazel green eyes directly, which I was trying to avoid so hard.
As soon as our bodies came into contact with each other, a magnificent spark with so much emotions generated from our bodies.
Both of our eyes widened in shock as a word rolled out of our tongues at the same time,
“MATE!”
Both of our eyes widened in shock as a word rolled out of our tongues at the same time,“MATE!”Neither of us spoke. We were completely speechless. Both of us were just staring at each other at that compromising position with utterly astonished expressions on our faces.How could this be possible?I have already found my mate!He can’t be my mate!I was dragged out of my train of thoughts when the third person decided to speak in the matter.“Did you both just say ‘Mate’? What was that? Did I see sparks generating from your bodies?” asked Alice with the same shocked expressions but soon it changed into the brightest and most approving smile on her face.“You guys are Mates!” she added jumping happily.“What?” asked both of us in unison.We looked at her confusedly then at each other and I realized that we were not at stable position yet.Luke
“Hello, Ms. Elena Swan. I am Ira Blossom” said a beautiful blonde girl while standing next to Luke.‘She is a bit too close to be just a pack member, she must be a close friend’ I thought while looking at the almost invisible distance between the two.Alice, on the other hand, moved away from her in the fraction of seconds and stood next to me making it obvious that she doesn’t like her that much.Even the real late bloomer, Lily also observed that.She smiled at Luke who didn’t show any emotion on his handsome face.He then turned towards me with his signature expressionless face.“She is the daughter of my father’s beta” Luke said coldly without even glancing at her.“Pardon me. Let me introduce myself again. Hello, my name is Ira Blossom, daughter of Beta, Ethan Blossom. It’s an honor to meet you, Ms. Elena Swan, the future Luna” Ira corrected in a more elegant
“Okay, then no problem. I thought something really bad happened to…” Lily said with relieving expressions but stopped in the middle of her statement, when her unpunctual mind finally decided to translate my sentence to her.“Wait a minute! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?” she shouted in shock.“Stop shouting! Keep your pretty little mouth shut! Do you want our entire pack to know that? Why are you always ready to make an announcement about me?” I asked keeping my palm on her mouth.“He is your mate?” she asked in a whisper after removing my hand from her mouth.“Yes. When he saved me from falling, our body touched and then those sparks, you know the rest” I said in a frustrated tone.The uncontrollably romantic Lily didn’t pay attention to any of the details except for one.“Ooo, he saved you from falling, how romantic! How does it feel to be in his muscular arms?” S
“WHAT??” she asked in utter astonishment. “You heard me, ‘I will ask him to reject me’. I am not interested in him at all. I only love my handsome wolf mate. Unlike Luke, he is such a gentleman. I will wait for him” I said smiling while thinking about my dear wolf. Blood drained from Lily’s face when she heard my reply for the second time, with worried expressions she stated, “You can’t just force him to reject you!” “Try me” I said replied in a challenging tone and the corner of my mouth twitched into a smirk. “Did you forget the fact that he must also agree to reject you? You can’t do it yourself!” Lily replied in frustration. ‘Why is she so frustrated? I know everything’ I thought before replying confidently, “I know. I don’t think he is that much interested in me either. I guess we have mutual feelings about it” “How do you know that? Have you seen ‘You’?” she asked while pointing towards me, referring to the fact h
“Sister Elena, are you hurt?” asked Alice in an anxious tone.Luke tried to remove his hand but before he could remove it completely, another pair of hands held Elena’s arm and help her to stand on her feet gently. The helping hand was none other than her dear best friend, Liam. In response, Luke groaned and took a couple of steps back.“Yeah. I just lost balance” She replied awkwardly.“It’s okay, no need to be embarrassed. I lost balance all the time. I am the Queen of clumsiness” said Alice with a soft chuckle and continued after turning towards her brother,“Good Job brother”“Hmm” replied Luke with his signature emotionless face.“I told you, you don’t need to help me with those stupid boxes. I can do it myself” said Liam worriedly while taking the box from her hand and keeping it on the floor.Before Elena could reply, an always enraged cro
“Okay, so let the fun begin!” said Lily while spinning the bottle and everyone screamed.“Wooahhhh!”Right now, Elena was sitting opposite to Christopher, Liam opposite to Alice, Lily to Luke, Ira to Mateo.The bottle pointed towards Alice first and Liam was the one sitting opposite to her. Everyone started screaming and clapping.“I suggested the game, I did not know I will be the first victim” said Alice covering her face with embarrassment.“Okay Alice. Truth or Dare?” asked Liam in a playful tone.“As I am the first one, I will go with Truth. Please go easy on me” said Alice with a nervous smile.“Okay, who do you like the most in our clan?” asked Liam in a curious tone.After hearing the question, the tensed muscle on Alice’s face lightened up.“This is the easiest question. You are so kind” Alice complimented Liam for hi
“What the hell!” said Mateo angrily. He was still unsure that what he heard was right.But to confirm it further, Liam got from his place agitated.“What did you just say?” asked Liam, he was the first one to get up and move towards Luke to break his mouth so that won’t be able to utter any nonsense about Elena again but Elena stopped him by holding his hand.Luke eyes went from Liam to his hand and finally to their intertwined fingers. A loud groan of disapproval left his mouth.Followed by Liam, Mateo and others got up to attack the person who insulted their Luna but Elena and Lily stopped them on time.‘Merge wasn’t a really nice idea, was it?’ thought Lily.“Don’t be mean, brother. Who are you to judge? She will take care of her own things. You don’t need to meddle in her business” said Alice in an enraged tone.“You are being too much, Luke”
“The guy you like, is it Liam?” He asked in an enraged tone.His face was not emotionless as it is all the time, it was filled with anger and there was this crazy murderous expression on his face.“It’s none of your damn business” said Elena harshly while moving from his side.Suddenly, Luke’s giant hands held Elena’s arm and pushed her on the wall trapping her between the wall and his body.“What are you doing?” asked Elena angrily, trying to release herself from his grip.“Answer me when I am being nice. Do you like Liam?” asked Luke literally gritting his teeth in fury.“You are not getting any answer out of me if you act like a complete jerk! Stop acting like my boyfriend!” said Elena still trying to remove his hands but his hold was too strong.‘What does he eat, Iron? He is way too strong!’ thought Elena in irritation.“You can’t deny ba
