Chapter 17
That night, when Drake’s father passed him the title of an Alpha, it was full of stars, and the pack was joyful and they all celebrated.
Suzy came into Lotta’s room and brought her a beautiful white satin dress, that suited her like it was made just for her.
It was sleeveless, with a silver belt, and followed the shape of her body, with a large slit on the side.
She also had matching shoes, with high heels, in silver color.
“What is all this, Suzy? Lotta asked when she saw all that.
“Alpha Drake said that you must look amazing tonight, not that you don’t look like that every day”, the girl smiled, politely.
“I don’t understand, it’s his ceremony, not mine”, she was confused.
“Oh, no need for worries, let me help you put on some makeup.”
“With that face, you’ll be absolutely stunning!” Suzy was thrilled.
“Oh, I can do makeup myself “, Lotta said.
“I know that, but let me help you just for tonight.”
“I’ll even make your hair, please”, Suzy was persistent.
Lotta smiled, at her reaction.
“I hope that I won’t regret this”, she raised her eyebrow, looking at Suzy.
“I promise you won’t!” Suzy was thrilled and started with work.
“Oh my God, Suzy, I can’t recognize myself!” Lotta was standing in front of the mirror, admiring what she saw.
“Oh, thank you my Luna, it means a lot to me”, Suzy was happy.
“I told you to call me Lotta when we are alone”, She told her.
“Yes, ...“, Suzy was confused, like she said something she mustn’t.
“Thank you, Lotta”, she finally said, with a shy smile.
“That’s better”, Lotta smiled, then she hugged her.
“Thank you , Suzy”, she said.
“Oh, you are so welcome”, Suzy blushed, feeling surprised by Lotta’s gesture.
She saw in Lotta a good person and a friend, that she could trust, also, she respected her, because of the attitude that Lotta had toward her, from the first day they met.
Not to mention that Agatha didn’t bother her anymore, which was Lotta’s work.
Yes, Suzy was grateful for such a good friend, because she never believed that she could be one, with an Alpha’s mate.
Not in a million years, judging by her experience.
That night, when Drake was getting his title, was calm and cheerful, at the same time.
Drake and Alpha Tod were on the stage, with a few elders, when they performed a title transfer ceremony.
Alpha Tod cut his and Drake’s palms in the same place, pretty deep, and then they put the palms together like they were shaking hands, and the blood was dripping into the bowl, on the table.
It was similar when the members were accepted into the pack, with one exception.
With the blood from the bowl, Alpha Tod made a circle on Drake’s wound, and Drake felt like the fire went through his body itself.
He became an Alpha of his pack, and he could hear them, and bond with them.
Lotta watched it from the side, standing next to Agatha and Mary, who were sitting in the front row.
She didn’t want to point out herself, by trying to stay behind them, but it looked like it wasn’t Drake’s intention.
As soon he got congratulations and when the pack members fell silent, he stood in front of them all.
“I thank all of you for your support, and I promise to be a fair Alpha of this pack, our pack, and I’ll lead you into a brighter future”, he got big applause, because his people believed in him, knowing that what he was saying is true.
“However, what kind of an Alpha would I be, without my Luna, so I present you our future Luna, Miss Lotta Verson.”
He pointed in Lotta’s direction, and she wanted the earth to open and swallow her, right now.
She knew that it was her turn to come to him and stand with him up there, but she was upset with Drake’s act.
She felt embarrassed, and the expectations from her now were too much.
She had a strange urge to strangle him, at that moment.
But, she just smiled and walked toward him, and he held out his hand to her.
“What are you doing?“She whispered to him, while she was taking his hand.
“Making you my Luna, he said in the same tone.
“I told you that this day will come soon, so no turning back now”, he smiled.
“You are insane, I can’t do that now, I’m not ready”, her voice sounded upset.
“Why not?” “I promise it won’t hurt, at least, not that much”, he told her.
“Oh, God...“, she said, more to herself.
He was right.
Now, she must do it, because the whole pack was waiting for that.
Well, not Agatha, in her eyes was hatred toward all, but she kept her false smile because it was a part of her filthy game.
She had a devious plan in her head that soon will be done.
Drake did all to her, just like his father had done to him, but the main part was marking.
They both needed to mark each other, which was done when they mated, but he wanted to mark her now so that everybody knew that she was his.
He will wait for her to be ready enough, to give him his mark.
Lotta was shaking, because she knew what was next part, and she didn’t understand why he wanted to mark her that bad.
If he couldn’t wait, how would he wait for the mating?
She bit her lips, knowing if he had marked her, he could hear her thoughts.
Damn it!
The members were loud again, but when he gently touched her neck, moving her hair to look for the spot where his mark would be, they became quiet again.
She was shaking.
It wasn’t from fear, but the feeling she had when he touched her, and when she felt his lips, and his warm breath on her.
She forgot where she was, and the only thing there was, were his glowing eyes that watched her.
“Ready?” He whispered when she saw his canines appearing.
“No...“, she whispered and felt them.
He penetrated her neck in a second, and she felt great pain and warmth that occupied her entire body.
When she opened her eyes, his were golden.
“You said it won’t hurt”, she barely said.
“I’m sorry, my princess, I lied”, was the last thing she heard, when she closed her eyes again.
