Chapter 3 THREE

I fisted my palm tightly. "He doesn't want to have anything to do with me anymore, does he?"

My mum's pearl blue eyes shone brightly. "Actually, he invited us both for dinner."

I let out a breath of relief. "Mum! You scared the shit out of me!"

Her laughter filled the entire room. "You should have seen your face. His driver is coming to get us by six, so change into something nice."

I slumped into the beanbag beside me. "I don't know what to wear, I did expect him to call but not so soon."

"It's just for pleasantries and discussion about the mating ceremony so don't get too worked up." She said before she walked out.

"I'm actually going to be the Luna of one of the largest packs in Crescent city." I tapped my cheeks to be sure that I wasn't dreaming. "It's real all right."

I spent the rest of the afternoon rummaging through my clothes, looking for the perfect dress that would make Drako swoon.

"Hayley, get down here! The car has arrived!" My mother yelled from the living room.

"In a minute!" I stared at my reflection in the mirror, not entirely satisfied with my look. I was dressed in a long light blue dress that clung to my curves in all the right places, the color brought out the cool tones of my skin, giving me a radiant glow. As for my hair,I let it fall freely off my shoulders, the silver locks cascading down my back.

I fiddled with my dress, smoothing out the fabric and I had to admit, I looked good. I wore no jewelry and all the shone were my gray eyes.

Just then there was a knock and my door and my mum barged in.

"Honey you look really beautiful but we really can't keep that beta waiting for too long."

"Alright, I'm ready." I took one last look at myself before heading out.

The trip was an hour long and I had fidgeted with my hands, hair and dress. My mother on the other hand, had started a conversation with our driver, Daniel; He was Drako's right-hand.

We finally arrived at Drako's mansion and it was a sight to behold. Dozens of servants were already waiting at the entrance once we stepped out of the car.

One of the maids walked over to me, a bright smile on her face. "Welcome, I'll show you where Mr Drako is waiting."

She led us into the mansion and the interior was even more lavishing than the exterior. The paintings, the designs, it was all beautiful. We finally arrived at the dining room where several delicacies were spread out.

Seated at the head of the table with a ravishing smile on his face was my future mate, Drako. "Welcome to my home, Hayley."

He stood up and motioned to the empty chairs. "Please have a seat."

"Thank you for having us for dinner." My mother said as she took her seat.

"I am honored that you found me worthy to be your Luna." I said with a slight bow.

Drako nodded graciously. "The honor is mine. You are now part of my pack which means you're family."

I felt my heart swell up at his words. I had finally fulfilled my mother's wish. "Thank you Drako."

As the evening progressed, the conversation shifted to more casual matters.

My curiosity led me to inquire about the wound on his arm, he looked like he was struggling to eat.

"Are you okay? You're injured." I asked

Drako's expression darkened and I immediately regretted being too nosy.

"Forgive me for prying, I shouldn't have asked you that." I lowered my head slightly.

"It's fine." He said, a smile appearing on his face. "Since you are going to be my Luna, it's only right you know these things."

"Recently, some of my betas deserted the pack because they were unhappy with the way I led the pack. In their opinion, an Alpha should rule with an iron fist and shouldn't be soft and merciful like I am. So they planned a coup, they were going to kill me and take my power."

I gasped. "That must have been awful."

His expression was downcast. "It was. As an Alpha nothing hurts more than taking the life of your betas. I keep thinking maybe I should have given them another chance, to try to be a little bit stronger."

I reached for his arm. "You are already strong enough and if they think being mean and cold is what makes an Alpha then they are wrong, very wrong."

He placed his hands over mine, his gaze never leaving mine. "Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?"

My cheeks flushed red. "Thank you." I said shyly.

"Aren't you both just adorable." My mother said with a smile. "Drako, you have my full blessings to take my daughter as your Luna."

He bowed his head. "Thank you Theresa."

"I should be thanking you, Drako. I really can't wait to see the faces of all those other Alpha's." My mother said,

"Speaking of that," he turned to me. "I believe it's time we start planning the mating ritual. My pack is eager to officially welcome you as their Luna, and I am equally eager to make you mine."

I looked away shyly while my mother wiee a wide grin as she stared at both of us.

"Wonderful," She clasped her hands. "When do you want to hold the mating ritual?"

He kissed my hand softly. "Two weeks from now, on the first day of the full moon. Let's begin the new chapters of our lives with the moon goddess' blessing."

Dinner was over and Daniel had called Drako away to discuss something important, so it was just me and my mother left alone, discussing the mating ritual.

"I'm going to make sure to invite every Alpha in Crescent city, have them realize the gem they let go of."

I giggled. "I honestly don't mind who comes as long as you and Drako are there."

She leaned closer to me. "You must really like him huh."

"And that's my cue to leave." I said as I stood up. " I have to use the bathroom." I scurried off, not giving her time for a reply.

As I made my way down the hallway, I noticed that a room door was slightly ajar. I slowed my pace, my curiosity piqued. I could hear Drako's voice, low and menacing, and Daniel's responses, calm and reassuring.

"...everything must go according to plan, or else," Drako growled, his words sending a shiver down my spine.

I hesitated, wondering if I should keep listening or continue on my way. But before I could decide, Drako's head swiveled in my direction, his eyes locking onto mine.

I froze, feeling like an intruder. Drako's gaze narrowed while Daniel had a blank expression on his face.

"How long have you been standing there?" Drako asked, his voice stripped of the warmth I was used to.

"I just got here, I was looking for the bathroom." I said nervously.

He was quiet for a moment as he stared at me intently. "The bathroom is on the second floor by the left."

"Thank you." I said, my voice barely audible.

As I headed up the stairs,I could still feel his gaze on me, cold and unforgiving.
