Il was a lot for her to take in, I wanted to make it as easy as possible for her. I asked for Maya to remain
in the Packhouse to give her
something to ground her as everything around her changed. When I showed her to her bedroom, she
just crumbled. She began sobbing
and my heart was breaking with her. As whined and howled inside my head and wanted to kill
something, Anything, but he could sense
that she needed us and let me stay in control. She cried for almost an hour and I let her. I could tell it
was something she needed in order
to begin her healing. Mental, emotional and even physical. As I held her, I was painfully aware of how
many bones I could feel. We needed
to get some weight on her.

Kelly, can you make sure whatever clothes the girls buy tomorrow are a size or two bigger than they
currently are? They are both
severely underfed.’ I mind linked Gillian’s sister.
Underted! What did they do to them over there Alpha?
She asked
y dont know, but I intend to find out. The other girls they had working at the packhouse also appeared
malnourished.’
11/ take care of them, Alpha.
‘Thank you, Kelly. I appreciate this.’
Anything for our Luna’
‘Dinner is ready,’ Gillian interrupted. ‘Your father texted the cooks earlier. Since they weren’t expecting
us until tomorrow. They are
out on the town for dinner.’
Ok. Thanks,
“Dinner is ready, you ready?” I said and she nodded, “Oh, one more thing. That’s a closet for you to
use, but as this was an office, we
have to share a bathroom.” I winked as I took her hand. I loved the blush that came to the surface and
the giggle that came out of her
mouth as I grinned at her like an i***t. This beautiful fragile girl had us whipped already. I would do
anything to keep hearing that
delightful sound.
As we went down the elevator, I exined what was about to happen, “I have to present you to the
staff and members present that
you’re my mate and future Luna. Don’t worry, you don’t have to take any responsibilities until you’re
ready to have the Luna Ceremony,” She nodded her big eyes at me, “My father won’t be in until after
dinner. They didn’t expect us today.”
When we arrived at the formal dining room, everyone stood and pped as we made our way to the
head of the table. I felt her
nerves and felt her grip my hand tighter. I couldn’t help but feel nothing but love for her and the friends
sitting around the table.
“Thank you for that warm wee. I am pleased to introduce my mate and your future Luna, Celeste.”
I purposely left out the
surname. I knew Pierce wasn’t herst name and I would prefer not to lie to my friends.
“Wee Luna,” they all said.
“I would also like to present Maya Cassera. She is a neer to our Pack and I hope everyone treats
her with the same warmth and
respect as you’ve shown towards the Luna. She will be staying on the third floor until further notice.”
“Wee!” they said or nodded towards her.
We sat and began dinner. I looked and noticed someone was missing
‘I thought Daniel was supposed to be back by now,
mind
linked Gillian.
‘He reported in yesterday. He was dyed. He hasn’t found what he needs yet, but feels like he’s
close.’
‘We need to pull him in soon. If he hasn’t found anything in another week, he needs toe home and
reassess. The pack needs their Gamma.’
‘Yes Alpha. I’ll let him know.’
We ate dinner. The girls were eating fairly slowly and not very much. I shifted towards Celeste, “Is
everything OK? Do you and Maya
not like the food?” I asked, “It’s not as good as what you cook-”
“You can tell me love,” I encouraged. She leaned even closer and I took a moment to inhale her scent..
She whispered, “We have never been allowed to eat with people. We’re usually left to fend for
ourselves with whatever leftovers we
can find. I’m sure how to use all this silverware and I’m afraid to make a fool of myself.”
I tamped down the rage As was feeling. Hoping it wasn’t evident on my face, “Would you like to eat
in the bedroom instead? I can
have someone send up food? It’s not normally this formal. The cook kind of went overboard because
you wereing.”
“I’m fine! No need to make a fuss. We aren’t used to a lot of food anyway. We will get sick if we eat
more than what we’re eating.” ||
sighed and nodded, making a mental note of asking Kelly to get themfortable with eating with us.
Next time we see that Alpha Oaf.
you will not deny me avenging the cruelty he’s shown mate –
As growled in my mind.
As long as you let me get some hits in too – Tagreed.
“OK, we’ll talkter,” I said as I gently squeezed her hand. I turned and noticed a few smirksing
from my friends. They were all
looking at our exchange. I rolled my eyes.
After dinner, Gillian and I went into my office with Maya and Celeste.
“To break your connection to your pack permanently, you have to say’l, full name, do hereby renounce
my allegiance to the Blood
Moon Pack,’” | said. When I saw Celeste’s eyes go wide, I realized that it would require her to use her
true name. She looked at Gillian and
Maya. “Guys, can you please go see if my father has arrived?” Gillian looked at me funny.
in person,’ I mind linked him.
“Sure thing Alpha,e Maya. We’ll be back in a little bit,” After they left, I went to the door myself. I
looked at her and smiled, but I knew by the guilty look in her eyes that it didn’t reach my eyes and the
hurt I was feeling was showing, “I’ll be outside the door love. Just say the words and let me know when
you feel the link snap.” I closed the door and walked away a few steps. I was tempted to listen, my
hearing being a little better than most, but I couldn’t break the small trust she had ced in me. It was
precious and needed to be
nurtured.
“Markus?” I heard the door open and saw her angelic face looking for me. She smiled when she saw
me waiting down the hall. “It’s done.” I smiled and walked over to her.
‘You cane back now,’ I linked to Gillian.
I walked through the office door and she flew into my arms and kissed me. I quickly caught her,
wrapping my arms around her waist
and returned the kiss. Alpha howled at the taste of her lips.
“Ahem,” I heard behind me and I wanted to growl at the interruption. I let Celeste down reluctantly. If
blushing was a contest, we had
a winner. I turned to Gillian, who was wagging his eyebrows at me.
“You have the worst timing,’ Imind linked him.
‘You’re the one who said we coulde back,’ he said.
I smiled I didn’t know she would do that’
‘Rawr’ he taunted.
“Now that both tethers to the Blood Moon Pack have been severed. It’s time to officially join our pack. I
will ask you if you ept and swear fealty to the pack and when you ept, I will make a small cut on
your hand. You should then be able to feel the new Pack
connection click into ce.”
‘Son, we’re home. I would like to meet my future daughter-inw and Luna, join the pack link.
my father mind linked me after I felt Celeste and Maya
‘We’re in the study,’ I responded.
“Wee to Crescent Moon Pack,” I smiled at Maya, “You guys have a busy day tomorrow. So I will let
you get some rest. Love,
someone wishes to meet you before we retire for the night,” I said. She smiled nervously and nodded, I
took her hand and pulled her next
” to me. Hoping she felt the bond as strongly as I did and my presence would soothe her as much as
hers did me. When I felt het rx,!
smiled smugly in my mind. As was wagging his tail.
We heard a knock and then the door opened. My father stepped in and gasped, “Be?” He whispered.
Letting the bottle of
