Kieran's POV
I dreaded this morning. I am sitting in a dining table with my family. She left earlier this morning, I heard her, felt her going far away from me. My body hurts, not too bad.
Rieka is howling and pacing, he's hurting, it is only a matter of time before I follow, before I feel the same thing that he is (Ahh, bri..ng...her.....BACKKKKKKKKK). My head is buzzing with Rieka' sounds.
"Kiera why aren't you eating your food, are you not hungry?" My mom asks. I am so deep in thought that I didn't notice that I have food in front of me and people around me.
I inhale then exhale, preparing myself for the shock that will come after I tell them the news, but someone has to break the news and I definitely know that it won't be Rieka.
I looked at everyone and dropped my utensils "She's gone. " my voice came out a lot more stronger than how my insides are right now. A small but painful stab comes in my chest, I wince, and ignore it.
All eyes were on me, everyone stopped eating and they had eyes that are filled with pity. "Oh Luna is gone" Lucian said in a low whisper. "Yep she is…gone" I felt the stab again this time it was like the knife is getting twisted, straight in my heart.
Silence fell around the table for a few moments, the air smelt like a poison of unspoken word and heavy breathings.
"I think it's time" my father said, breaking the silence. I looked at him in confusion to not getting what he just announced "Time for what?" I asked, I knew what he just said was meant for me.
Zander Black the most feared Alpha in this universe. He sure does live up to his reputation of no smile, no showing emotions. I can safely say that I have never seen him happy or even smiling the only time that I have, it was when he first met Aylin but other than that time he's always so serious.
Ever since I was a child his attention has been on me. I eat well trained, that I'm getting ready to be the Alpha. All those stuff, just always sitting on my neck.
"For you to be the alpha" my jaw dropped to the floor.
"W-What....dad are you sure?" I ask, my heart rate is picking up by the minute "What, don't you not want to be alpha" he looks up at me.
"N-no It's not that it's...." before finishing my father gets up and looks at me
"Well, it's settled then, the ceremony will be held in two weeks"
"D-dad that's fast" I said without even thinking. To him questioning his choices is like disagreeing with him. Who was I to disagree with my father let alone the alpha.
"Get yourself ready." with that he turns and he's gone. His presence is scary. I don't want to be scary I think Rieka has that job in hand.
**********
"You just let her go" he asks, as we were seated in the training room. Kai only comes here and there. I don't get to see him all the time, when I do, his usually a breath of fresh air.
"What was I meant to do, I tried begging her. There is only so much that a wolf can do when his mate, had other plans and is set on not coming even close to considering you as her mate"
My father decided that for the next two weeks that lead up to the coronation of the future Alpha which is me, I will be training 20 hours a day, six times a week. He order my future beta to come an train with me.
That won't be possible, he knows it won't happened. We both know what will happen, we are just pretending like we don't know. That what we do best in our father and son relationship.
Rieka is already in deep I can hear him, the only thing I hear from him are sound of pain. The separation of one's mate is a process. The wolf feels the effects first, while the wolf feels the effects the human body of the other soul which is me, will get small pains here and there.
A few hours will pass, the wolf will go unconscious and the pain and the burden goes to the human form and then, so on and so forth. Eventually one will die.
My father wanted the Alpha ceremony because he wants to keep me alive and in the next coming weeks leading up to the coronation the benefits that an alpha gets will strengthen me and Rieka will gain conciseness.
"Well, be strong, because boy you are in for one hell on a ride"
