"For when the mate bond is severed unjustly,
The moon does not forgive.
From broken vows shall awaken ancient blood,
And the wolf cast aside will either destroy her pack…
Or become its salvation.
Her rise will be written in silver,
And her wrath in red."

I stood in the ceremony hall with my parents, my father, Ethan Elsie whitmore being the Beta of the Bloom Pack, my mother , Lilian whitmore and my adorable little sister, Sara whitmore whom I'm a months older than. The Alpha , Alpha Leon Blackwood and his Luna , Luna Sophie Blackwood stood beside us too as we waited for the future alpha Edward Blackwood. I stood there happy, anxious and expectant.
He left for Alpha training two months ago and is now returning to take charge that is if he finds his Luna before he turns 30.
The hall was lively and the just from listening to the music and laughter from the pack members, you could see, we were all happy about the return of Edward.
I on the other hand was extremely happy because, a week before Edward left for the training, we both found out we were mates, yeah mates. I waited for forever to find my mate and was even more happy to know he was my childhood friend Edward Blackwood.
Edward and I literally grow up together and he happens to be a year older than me so yeah I'm extremely happy because I get to meet my mate after two months of longing for his presence and touch.Funny but sad fact about all this is that nobody knows he's my mate.
Yeah sad truth, nobody knows. It's just between Edward and I as he said he'll make it official when he comes back from the training.
I was anxious but excited when I locked eyes with him as he entered the hall.
Goddess- he's handsome I thought. my wolf refused to sit silently now that I saw him, I missed him and from the way he looked at me I knew he missed me too and his wolf was excited like mine was. He smiled at me and that smile sent to the heavens.
He came up to us but greeted the Alpha and Luna first before greeting the Beta, my mother then myself and my little sister.
After a short speech to the pack on how the training went and the fact that he was ready to lead the pack, the party continued and that gave us time to get our alone time
He pulled me into the room closest to us and I just couldn't help myself as we entered the room.
I kissed him, yeah I kissed him I couldn't take the torture anymore. He kissed me with the same vigour and I knew he wanted me
"hello mate", he said smiling as he continued to kiss me
Mate, I said with my voice shaking
After calling him mate, his hands started to wonder on my body at a very dangerous pace. And I didn't know if it was because I acknowledged him but I couldn't take it anymore
Things were getting extreme as my wolf wanted more and from his touch that sent ripples of current to my heart and mind, I knew his wolf wanted more too.
I learnt Alpha's are more obsessive and energetic with their mates and I now understand what they say...
....knock knock.....
the knock happened to knock some sense into our lusted minds
Future Alpha Edward, we heard a wolf outside the room say,
please, the Alpha wants to see you.
-sigh-
we both released a sigh and started to laugh
He kissed me again and said, "I want you soo bad and I'm wolf is killing me for wanting to obey my father's call right now".
I watched him with a smile and said, I know and I want you as much but you must attend to the Alpha too.
He gave me a good long kiss and said, " I'll meet up with you later, don't miss me too much"
I giggled, I won't I said knowing too well I was already missing his touch.
Wait don't think I'm a wh* re but to make things clear before this experience I have never experienced anything like this before.
First of all, I am a traditional woman, meaning I haven't even kissed before in my 25 years of living because I was saving myself, my first everything for my mate and guess what?
Edward happens to by mate sooo, take it as it it.
Edward left after saying goodbye to me and I slowly made my way back to the hall to inform my parents that I was returning to our home.
I couldn't even stand or walk well. My legs were weak so I had to go home and lie down, hoping it will get better by morning.
My mother saw how I was walking and just smiled at me.
" Young lady, are you fine ?" she asked
Yes mum, but I'm just tired, I lied.
i want to go back home to rest , I added
"sure, sure be careful on your way back" she added
Our house was just a five minutes walk from the hall. I got home after struggling with all my might to walk straight and in a normal way as to not draw attention. Since we're from the Beta's family, our house is very close to the Edward's house as the Alpha may call for my father anytime
i took my bath when I got home and laid down on my bed replaying everything that happened in the day
i was smiling sheepishly, happy and fulfilled
I fantasized on the things Edward and I could do and how I'll be Luna....I don't know how I slept but then I slept having a smile on my lips.
Sleep crawled in slowly and Elsie pulled the soft blanket around her shoulders, closing her eyes as exhaustion finally claimed her. The moonlight spilled across her room, silver and gentle, but even its glow couldn't chase away the unease curling in her chest.
She told herself tomorrow would be another day with excitement… lovely ,and the day she'll finally be known as the mate of the pack.
But as the wind whispered against her window, carrying a scent both strange and familiar, she had no idea that the sunrise would change everything.
Tomorrow, nothing would be the same.
And she would never forget it
