Chapter 2 Second Chapter

I haven't been home since I found out that I will be passing out. I have been preparing for my pass out, well to be exact Damien, me and his father have been preparing for my pass out. It was going to be a huge party since there were also others who were passing out. Although before our passing out there was one important celebration that was going to happen. It was Damien's Alpha ascension. He was now going to be an Alpha and I couldn't be happier for my man.

The ascension was going to be the day before the full moon which means it will be the day before my passing out. Damien planned it around my passing out saying that the next day following his ascension he will be getting married to the love of his life. I couldn't be happier, the day that I survive my first shift, I also get to claim my mate and become the luna of our pack. My man was my hero.

My parents were nowhere to be found in all of this good news. They were either neglecting me or they were busy airing their dirty laundry to the pack via their arguments. There was only one week remaining to the ascension, and they had not even called or even came to see me so that they can serenade me.

When one was passing out, their family would treat them like they are a rare item. If the person passing out had a wish list their family would make sure they are fulfilled. What about my parents, they knew where I was but they had not even tried to send me even a letter. I was so over being sad about anything that involved them, soon I will be the luna and I will be living with my man along with his father who adores me like his own daughter. I had a family right here with Damien and let's not forget that me and Damien were already planning to start a family as soon as possible so that his father has some grandchildren that will keep him occupied.

Me and Damien were in and out of shops trying to find the right dress and the right suit for his ascension plus my passing out. I also had Yasis classes, just because were passing out it doesn't mean the classes have stopped. We were always tired, having an early morning and a late night but we were having fun and nothing could ruin that for me.

"You look like a billion dollars princess." His eyes were gleaming, and his smile was brighter than the moon. It was D-day and he was ascending as an Alpha. He looked so handsome that I wanted to hide him from everybody and everyone.

He was wearing a red and black suit. The cuit jacket was red with a touch of black at the seams. The trousers were slim fit in black, black socks and red suede shoes. I thought those shoes were ridiculous but he liked them so I was okay. I was wearing a black and floor length ball gown. It was a lace with layers off the shoulder and open back. It was adorned with crystals.

We walked hand in hand from his house into the car that was taking us to the pack house. This was the hall used for celebrations and such things within the pack. We were a pack that found any excuse to party. Unfortunately this was Damien's ascension so everyone in the pack was in attendance. My parents were there but they were not the ones that I was weary about. The person that dimmed my mood a little was Alora, I was planning on avoiding her the entire night and I knew she wouldn't try anything so it was going to be easy. This bitch showed up to my man's ascension wearing a red velvet gown. It had a sexy black sheer corset and the bottom part was red velvet with a slit all the way from her upper thigh and a trail.

I'm not going to lie she looked amazing with a high ponytail that highlighted her thin face. A lot of things were going on in my head but the clearest of them all was the question of how Alora knew mine ad Damien's theme for the ascension? Did she stalk us that much that she actually found out or was she close to someone in the Alpha's house that they spilled the information to her?

"You are all my eyes are on." Damien disturbed my trail of thought and I realised I have been staring so hard at Alora that I might actually burn some holes on her.

"How did she know!?" I was pissed, this was the night I just wanted some peace and to enjoy with my man.

"Is that really important?" He casually asked and it made me feel like he wasn't listening to me.

"How could you even ask that!?" My voice was getting a little high. He quietened me down and pulled me to the side.

"Can we just ignore her?" He pleaded with me because I was actually losing my temper.

"I was planning on ignoring her but she-" I stopped myself because I had ran out of words to describe the type of annoyance and anger that she gave me.

"She's just trying to bait you." He was still calm as ever, reasoning with me. I took a deep breath in and nodded my head as a promise that I will ignore Alora.

He left because this was his ceremony and he needed to be where he was needed. I stood there thinking about how in the day after tomorrow I will be the luna and I guess that gave me some bravery because here I was thinking that I actually had the guts to stand up to Alora. If I could stand up to her I would have a long time ago. I shook my head at myself while laughing at myself in my head.

We ate and we danced. Me and Damien were busy dancing the whole night. Me and his father danced together too, my parents although they never really felt anything for me but tonight they had to be there because they were part of the pack too. The music was loud and we were busy getting drunk. Alora tried her best to get a chance to dance with Damien but I blocked her every attempt and each time I successfully stopped her, Damien would smile and laugh with me.

It was midnight which means it was the day of our passing out. We sat in an orderly manner, Damiens father was sitting in the middle. To his right it was Alora and her father because they were Alphas and there was a collaboration between our pack and theirs, then to his left it was an empty seat and Damien. The empty seat was for his dead mate. He stood to the platform and gave a smaller speech and then proceeded to name our new Alpha which is my man.

Damien was called to approach his father and on one knee he went, head bowed, and his left hand held out to receive something. His father placed the sickle made of flint and wrapped in wolf fur.

"You must reap the best harvest my pride." His father's voice broke and a tear escaped his eye. He had promised he wouldn't cry but he was just so proud.

Although he no longer wanted to be the alpha, he was still a little heartbroken about leaving the position behind. Damien accepted his fate and then he stood to his feet and hugged his father. While they were sharing a beautiful moment the krasi was being passed around. The krasi was a wine that had been specially brewed for ascensions. The wine had a drop of the new alpha's blood, it was what would bind us together as a pack and to bind us to our alpha so that we can be under him.

We made a small prayer to the moon goddess and then we all drank. My man stepped on the platform and then it was time to give a speech. He looked bright and happy.

"To Asta I have a surprise." He pointed at me with a smile and I blushed with him calling so much attention to me.

Something huge was rolled in, it was so a little huge like a big box that you could fit a human into. I wondered what it was as it was covered with a cloth. He was so full of surprises, I was with him the whole time that he was preparing for this day but I didn't even see him prepare this surprise for me.

He gave his speech about how he was grateful and how he was going to lead us to greatness, I believed him and I knew many people believed him too because we trusted him.

"I want to thank the love of my life for being patient with me and never losing her cool while I was trying to get to this point." I was kind of confused when he said that because we were waiting for me not him.

"She is really an amazing woman, especially for watching me with another woman all the time and not just any woman but the woman she hates." What the hell was Damien saying.

My chest started feeling a little stuffy and my vision became hazy for a moment.

"I know my dad is happy that he is going to be a grandfather in just a few months and I can't wait to meet my little one." He seemed genuinely happy like all this was reality and the crowd went crazy, screaming and wowing him while other called him the man.

I stood up and cleared the misunderstanding, "Guys I'm not pregnant!"

"Sit down!" One of Damien's friends yelled over the crowd. It was one of his friends who didn't like me.

"Shut Up!" I yelled back.

"Asta! Seriously, sit down!" Damien snapped at me. It caught me so off guard that I just went quiet.

Damien turned around and held out his hand for Alora to take then he brought her to stand on the platform with him. Before he could address the crowd he looked at Alora's father and bowed his head in a tiny manner, "thank you for trusting me sir." Alora's father gave him a barely noticeable side smile.

"Baby, thank you for not giving up on us." I watched in horror as he said those heartfelt words to Alora. My mind was slow to catch up with what was going on but my body had already reacted. I weakly dropped to my knees and my tears were slowly flowing down my cheeks.

"To Silver Moon Pack, I present to YOU MY LUNA AND THE MOTHER OF MY HEIR!!!"
