I FELT MY FINGERS TREMBLE SLIGHTLY. Why did I have to do this? My nerves were getting ahead of me and I couldn't help the anxiety that blinded my senses. I was going to become the Alpha. I would be responsible for the lives of over a hundred people.copyright protection281PENANAV8AyMCkuQJ
"You look..." 285Please respect copyright.PENANAE7btQxb7Ot

Liam's voice snapped me out of my daze.copyright protection281PENANA8jEsms4TDe
Anna. I was going to kill her when the ascension was over. She made me wear a dress; it was a long, pure white dress that practically forced me to put on. I never wore dresses. It was just too much effort to go through just to look good.copyright protection281PENANABCWfflZ8V2
"By Luna, are you wearing a dress?" He joked, his tone was light; playful. He chuckled softly, as I glared up at him. "Lyn, I'm just joking." His fingers slid down my jaw, gently lifting my face to meet his. "Weslyn," the playfulness vanished from his voice; his warm breath heating up my face. His deep tone made my body tingle. "I've never seen you wear a dress before. You look..."copyright protection281PENANAeQogZUFvjw
"I look like someone else," I finished, feeling myself flush.copyright protection281PENANAxFcVp1jhKm
"Sometimes it's good to look different," he whispered. He closed the distance between us and let his lips brush against mine. "You look beautiful, Lyn."copyright protection281PENANAvCvgIz7grc
"But you're biased," I mumbled, as his lips still lingered on mine. "You would say that no matter what."copyright protection281PENANARxYwMytxFf
"But I'm not," a voice interrupted. I quickly recognised it as West and jumped away from Liam, my cheeks burning with embarrassment. "I'm not biased. So, little sister, trust me when I say that you look gorgeous."copyright protection281PENANAlTzAMxhRMK
"T-thanks," I stuttered, not sure what else to say. His smile disappeared when he turned and gave Liam a pointed look.copyright protection281PENANAzWsThz4SIH
"I don't need to give you 'the talk', do I, William?"copyright protection281PENANAbFc5MWNmP7
"That sounded suspiciously like a threat, West," Liam teased, lightly punching him on the arm.285Please respect copyright.PENANACBCX8XYkkB
I blinked, surprised that they were getting along as if they had been friends all their lives. Until the day before, the two of them were at each other's throats.copyright protection281PENANAaAkfPTU6HV
It was Liam, I realised. He was the reason that they suddenly got along so well. He had changed for me. He had changed his mind in order to accept West, like I had. Liam accepted West for all the things he had done, just because he was my brother. He had done everything... For me.copyright protection281PENANARlZY7gvGac
"I thought you'd like it if your brother and I made up," he explained. "It was easy for me, you know. Partly because I understood that it wasn't his fault. But most, it was because you had already forgiven him in an instant."copyright protection281PENANAoRAl0R51PC
I never thought someone would care for me as much as he cared for me. Or someone who thought more about me than themselves - just like he did. Liam was a gift to me. A gift from Luna herself.copyright protection281PENANA7C6fQ6MV9O
"I love you, you know?"copyright protection281PENANATHElbITafe
"I know."copyright protection281PENANARx0sFB3XS0
"Are you ready?" Michael stepped out of nowhere, shooting a death glare at West. "Everything is ready."copyright protection281PENANAOzs7Do7wwF
"Thank you."copyright protection281PENANAC0Oxoc8u7A
"Come with me, all of you," he called leading us out of the large house and into the forest, where the entire pack was gathered. Bryan and Bryanna stood at the back everyone else, looking extremely uncomfortable.copyright protection281PENANA0CUrPaAikE
"Bryan, Anna, come to the front, please," I told them. Wordlessly, the crowd parted, letting the pair come closer. Michael opened his mouth, looking as though he wanted to argue but I hastily interrupted him. "We can discuss any of your queries or objections tomorrow."copyright protection281PENANA1fXnnI3VwJ
"We will offer you the title and you have to accept your position," Liam told me. "You will then have to shift, and everyone else will follow..."copyright protection281PENANA7oFv7tFNzD
"Except the two beasts," Michael intervened, scowling at them. I frowned at him, crossing my arms across my chest.copyright protection281PENANAZH3b2CF14s
"Father," Martyn muttered, giving him a cold stare. "Watch your mouth."copyright protection281PENANADfqXpwTPmv
"Let's get started," Liam interrupted hastily, trying to stop the tension in the atmosphere from increasing. He stepped back and beckoned Michael to come forward.copyright protection281PENANAJp1Dn1XvlD
"You should do it, William," he objected. "You're the rightful Beta and her soulmate... There is no one worthier to offer her the Alpha title."copyright protection281PENANAWG03IXu6OL
Liam nodded lightly and stepped before me, bowing down in submission. It took me a minute to realise that he was not alone. The whole pack, including Bryan and Bryanna, were also kneeling in front of me.copyright protection281PENANAVWGvB5XyHA
"Weslyn Grayson, on behalf of the Pack... I, William Moonstone; Beta of the Luna Park, offer you the honor of becoming our beloved Alpha. Do you accept?"copyright protection281PENANAXcGmeYIeLD
"I, Weslyn Grayson, accept in becoming the Alpha of the Luna Pack."copyright protection281PENANAptZ1kWLu0Q
And then I shifted.copyright protection281PENANAMzqlRKa3kO
At that moment in time, the beauty of the world around me; the happiness on his face; the laughter that echoed in the air... I could have died, then and there, and I would've been happy forever.copyright protection281PENANAqgJr2iffaa
I should've known it was too good to be true.copyright protection281PENANATHpMBRIlCe
