Alpha Luciano's Pov-
Soon we arrived at my pack house. All the pack members bowed their heads.
I walked into the pack house with a fake smile on my face and a lie on my tongue. I had to pretend that I had found my mate, when in reality it's only a contract.. She was not my soulmate, but she was the only one who agreed to my terms.
I ordered beta to gather all the pack members in the meeting hall. Soon all the pack members gathered and I stood at the stage and cleared my throat and announced in a loud voice,
"Attention, everyone. I have an important announcement to make.
Everyone looked at me with desperate eyes. Even beta was unaware of that.
After a pause I continued,
"I have found my mate, and she will be here soon. She is the new luna of this pack, and you will respect her as such. Her name is...
I paused and tried to remember her name. I didn't care about her at all, but I had to act like I did. I said her name with as much enthusiasm as I could muster.
"Her name is Alina."
Beta gave me a puzzled looked. I had to tell him everything in detail.
The pack house erupted in cheers and applause. Everyone came forward to congratulate me and express their curiosity about Alina. I saw genuine happiness and excitement in their faces, except for one. My uncle. He was standing in the corner, his eyes narrowed and his lips curled in a sneer. He didn't clap or smile. He just glared at me with suspicion and contempt. He wanted to be the alpha, but he knew he couldn't challenge me now that I had a mate. He hated me for finding her, and he hated her for being mine.
I knew he was a part of the conspiracy done against my father. He, Alpha Gregory and Alpha Arian wanted my father dead. Just because he loved a vampire!
I was born out of their mating. They claimed I was trash. Not a true Alpha but everything changed when I shifted for the first time at 16 like normal wolves. My uncle was still in denial that I was able to find my wolf like other males. lignored him and made my way to my room while Beta followed me.
He closed the door behind me and said in a low voice
"Hey, Alpha. What's this? Where did you find your mate?". He asked surprised.
I teleported to where he was standing, catching him off guard. "I finally found a girl who agreed to be my Luna". I said
His eyes widened and he said, " Can you stop showing off your hybrid skills? Also, I know this already, just tell me the main stuff! Who is she? Where is she?
When can we meet her?"
I sighed and said, "She's not here yet. But soon she will be here. But as you know she is not my mate, so there is nothing to be excited about." I said with a straight face.
He frowned and I explained everything to him. How I found her, how I made her sign the contract. He listened with a shocked expression on his face.
When I finished, he said, "Wow.
That's..that's crazy. But it's strange for a girl to sign a contract with an unknown man. I have doubts about her! Are you sure about her?
He said while frowning but I laughed at his question.
He looked puzzled.
"Why are you laughing? It's a serious matter! We can't let anyone know our secret and just make her Luna! He said, getting furious.
I looked at him and said, "I know her very well. I said.
" Who is she? He asked.
"She is the daughter of Alpha Gregory from the Silver moon pack.
" Ohh! That's great! " He said while he let out a sigh of relief.
"A rival's daughter will be your Luna. It will be amazing! He said while grinning.
" I will make him pay for whatever he did." I said as I could feel him suffering.
"And it doesn't matter. She agreed to it herself. She knows what she signed up for. And I don't need love. I need power."
I added further.
"You can fuck her too if she looks good. " He teased me.
"Listen, if she doesn't come back within seven hours, track her down and bring her here. She shouldn't tell anyone about me. " I told him.
"Yes, I will get your wife back before the bed time."
Beta gave me a smirk and he left my room.
He wasn't wrong though. She was beautiful and attractive enough to sleep with her. But I didn't want to give her high hopes.
Her father was the one who killed my parents. She should be punished for everything!
I entered the house and found my dad was roaming in the living room angrily. I stepped further and he looked at me.
"Alina! Is this time to come home? He shouted at me.
Why did he care now? when he never cared before.
"Ohh! My dear sister, I was so worried for you! I searched for you everywhere but couldn't find you! " Ava said with her fake concern.
I shut my eyes to control my anger.
"Stop showing your fake concern
Ava!" I snapped back.
"Why are you saying all this?"
She asked like she didn't know.
She looked at my dad to seek sympathy.
"What's wrong with you Alina?
How can you be so rude with your only sister? He said while making a disgusting face at me.
I was about to answer him when I step mother switched on the TV and I heard Alpha Luciano's name.
The headlines said that Alpha Luciano had found Luna and soon there would be a marking ceremony.
I gulped a lump that formed in my throat out of fear.
The news gained my father's attention also.
"Alpha Luciano found his mate?
How can this be possible? My father looked stressed.
"He is my biggest enemy!" My father looked pissed.
My palms began sweaty as I noticed the hatred in his eyes for Alpha Luciano. For a second I regretted on my decision as how. would he react when he would find out that I am his Luna.
He would probably kill me.
"Stop thinking too much Alina!
He is not a good father at all so Why are you caring? " Sophia said.
"But still Sophia!" I said.
"Alina now go to your room and don't go anywhere tomorrow."
He warned me.
I nodded and left from there. I entered my room and laid on my bed exhausted. Tears fell from my eyes as it was hard to control them now.
