Take Me, Alpha Lord

ANASTASIA

"My Precious Gem. Come to me, my angel." His arms came spreading wide, waiting for my embrace.

With the happiness within, I rushed into his arms and hugged him tightly. I felt so much better with him.

"Don't be scared, my love. I'm still here."

"But not forever," I said, feeling emotional. "Tonight I'll be mated to Alpha Damian. I'll be his Luna and move out of my home. That means I won't get to see you all the time. I... I don't like it."

"Don't be silly," Father laughed, patting me on the back. "Marriage isn't like that, Anna. It won't take you away from me," He promised.

I hummed, still feeling sad.

At the corner of my eyes I spotted my step sister, Cassandra, and Step mom, Linda, coming down the stairs, smiling at us.

Ever since my mother died, Linda has been a great support and wonderful mate to my father. She never made him feel lonely, nor treated me badly in anyway.

I felt my mother's love through her and a sisterly bond with Cassandra. They made this family complete.

"What's wrong, Sweetheart?" My Step mom asked, placing her hand on me.

Father told her about my worries, making a joke of it. "She's scared of life after marriage," He laughed, slowly releasing me from his grip.

"Scared? You're funny, sis," Cassandra teased, poking me on the back. I frowned at her and she drifted away, still cackling.

My Step Mom joined in the laughter and gently caressed my face, saying, " It's nothing to be afraid of, Anna. I was in your shoes when it was my time. But now..." Her eyes fell on my father with a beautiful smile on her face. "I feel so great."

The look she shared with my father, made my heart glow. Is that how Damian and I will stare into one another's eyes with so much love?

Now, I can't wait to get married to him. After all, we already love each other so much.

The day Damian and I found out we're going to be mates, we were stunned, yet pleased to know we'll be spending our lives as a couple soon. He's the Alpha of our pack, and this was a thing of joy for my dear father.

My father is just a well respected business man with lots of money and companies in Wolf Blood pack and other areas outside our land. He's also a man of principles and values, and wouldn't tolerate anything bad in his name.

My father has made it clear that he rather works with a man from a Royal Family filled with good morals, than a man of Royalty, engulfed with evil.

This saying of his was about a man he usually spoke to me about, and made example of whenever he wants to teach Cassandra and I about life and maintaining a good reputation.

He has a list of all these rules which we have followed for long. And being the first child of Raymond De Great, it's a must I follow all these rules, which I've been doing for years.

"I can't wait to hand you over to my son-in-law, my precious gem," Father said, pecking me on the forehead.

It made me happy, because after tonight, I'm going to be a Luna to Alpha Damian, my true love.

Just then... "Lady Anastasia?" A maid called from behind, gaining our attention.

"Yes? " I responded, pulling myself out of my father's hold, walking up to her. "What is it?" I asked in my sweet voice, smiling at her.
