Chapter 43

Mica

Today is the day that Aziz will hold my Luna’s ceremony. I was excited and, at the same time, worried. What if his pack members did not accept me for being a human? What help or support can I give to them if anything happens? There’s a lot of questions that keep on popping up in my head and Hera is not available to answer them. I’m too shy to ask Aziz and Athena and Lexis. Well, I am not that close to them. I could talk to them and make jokes, but tell them about how I feel. I’m not too sure.

When Aziz and the others arrived after their mission in the Lunar Pack, I was shocked to see a woman who looked exactly like Hera and Athena too. Aziz said that he took his looks from his father, so I assume that the three women take after their mother. They were all beautiful and even if Hera didn’t have a wolf, she still had the body a normal wolf had.

Aziz introduced me and the others to Lexis the next day and Carter, who was thinking of being the mate of my mate’s third sister, felt disappointed when Hera told him that she was already the mate of the beta of the Lunar Pack. “How can Reeves be so lucky being mated to one of Alpha’s sisters?” He complained and I laughed. I didn’t think that he had that side of him. He’s huge and it doesn’t fit him.

“Another idiot gamma.” Lexis said, “If I were to choose I would rather have the Lunar Pack’s gamma.” she added, so I looked at her.

“Oh, my goddess!” Hera exclaimed, so we all looked at her. “She was lurking around the pack not only because of the vampire but also because of the Gamma!” she added, and Lexis’ eyes widened.

“How did you know?” she asked, confused.

“You can’t hide anything from her,” Carter said.

“So, that’s the reason why you didn’t want Clint and got angry when he marked you?” Aziz asked but she only made a face. “Lexis, I have to remind you that your mate is a beta, so stop whatever feelings you have for Sean,” he added.

“Do you think I could still do that? He already marked me and I can't choose anymore,” she replied. “I have been watching him for as long as I can remember and hope that he is going to be mine. But it turns out that I would be mated to that arrogant and rude beta.”

“Yeah, why do we have to be mated to such betas? And Aziz, how do you reprimand your subordinates?” Athena asked,

“Why are you blaming my mate for Reeves?” I couldn’t help but interrupt and it was too late to take it back because they were all looking at me. My face turned red as Aziz looked at me in astonishment. He never thought that I was going to say that and defend him in front of everyone.

“No need to be shy, woman. You have all the right to do that,” he said and kissed me on my forehead. After he marked me, I feel like I am a complete person. Though I often missed my parents and his presence filled that empty hole in my heart.

Now, I am going to be a Luna in his pack and he said, the whole pack will be my family. That’s why I hoped and prayed that they would accept me since I had been longing for a family for a long time. The ceremony will be held at dinnertime. They had invited a few guests because Aziz didn’t want the news to reach the vampire king. But he said that if that happened, he would be ready and prepared.

Hera, Lexis and Athena were busy helping with the preparation and had not stopped pestering me about the clothes that I needed to wear. “Come on, Mica, I am going to tell Aziz that we’re going to town and buy you a gown,” Hera said,

“I don’t think it’s necessary. I have clothes.” I replied,

“Those aren’t fit for the celebration. Luna’s should be at their best when they hold their ceremony.” Athena said.

“Even though I had not attended any kind of ceremony legally, whenever I sneaked into a pack for the celebration, I agreed with my sisters,” Lexis said, and we all looked at her, then laughed. Hera pulled me and we all went to Aizz’s office. As much as possible, I didn’t want to ask for money.

“Why are you standing there, woman?” he asked. I was lining up with his three sisters in front of his table. “Come here and kiss me,” he said, and that made me widen my eyes. We are in front of other people for goodness sake!

“She’ll do more than just kiss if you’re going to give us money to buy her gown for the ceremony later,” Hera said as I got closer to Aziz and he pulled me, which made me sit on his lap and hugged me.

“Aziz! We’re in front of other people!” I exclaimed,

“You have to stop being modest. You are mated to a wolf and an alpha, so you have to get used to public displays of affection.” Lexis said,

“It’s fine, that’s what makes her cute,” Aizz said, so I glared at him. It was his way of teasing me.

“Ewww…” his sisters reacted, which only made them laugh.

“Go and buy something for the ceremony. You don’t need to overdo it, choose whatever you like. Don’t listen to them because I had a feeling that they were just enjoying spending money.” Then he handed me his credit card after he took it from his drawer. I got up and up and the girls pulled me out of his office immediately.

Carter joined us because of me. He was very dedicated to protecting me, so he went wherever I went. I think I will be fine with the girls, but Aziz insists as well because his gamma will never stop unless he ensures my safety. Since we needed a driver too, the three beautiful women with me, agreed in the end.

We will just buy a gown for the ceremony. I never thought that it would cause us a problem as we accidentally bumped into a vampire. Not an ordinary one, but the right-hand man of the vampire king.
