The rest of the night passed me like a blur, all I could focus on was Jason, my handsome mate.
For some reason as the night dragged on, the more I couldn't resist staring at him. I wanted him near me, I wanted to feel his skin on my body. I wanted him closer to me.
"I'm proud of you, my love." Jason whispered as he planted a gentle kiss on my temple. "You are such an amazing woman, I can't believe that the moon goddess would grant me such a perfect being as my mate."
"You're too sweet." I groaned as I felt his fingers play with mine as we held hands under the table.
Several members of our pack insisted on staging a performance, much to my dismay. Many of them I knew were looking to bed and alpha or a higher ranked being tonight.
I never understood their desire for power or to climb up the ladder.
'It's because you are an Alpha, you are born with that power.' Ares reminded me.
