Chapter 86

Lola’s POV

Two weeks passed in a blink of an eye but I wouldn’t say the same for the stress that came with it. Clothes were sized and resized, coloured were picked and changed at almost every angle. Rose, I and the girls all made a trip to Serena’s spa to get massages. My nails were done and my hair was ready too. Rose was picky over everything and all I wanted was some peace.

The only time I got to rest was in my mate’s arms. He would hold me after a long day and rub my legs, back or any part of my b*dy that I complained about. I was so grateful for the gift of him.

Once or twice, the innocent massages turned into something else but Adrian never did what I wasn’t ready for. He was attentive, loving and caring.

I eventually figured out what the mating ceremony was about. It was basically an event where the next Alpha marks his Luna before the whole pack to signify that they’re one before being crowned the next Alpha and Luna of the pack. But since Adrian already marked me privately because he claimed that it was supposed to be something between mates alone, we were just going to be crowned the new Alpha and Luna.

Apart from the event preparations, I had to visit many elders before that day and introduce myself properly to them. I visited the orphanage and did some charity work too. Half of the pack, if not all, knows that I was going to be the Luna even before the official announcement.

I had met Fay briefly on one or two occasions and she looked like she

wanted me dead when I saw her. I totally ignored her but the fact that she could be the one selling out the pack weighed heavily on my mind.

Adrian was also making preparations but all he has to do was pick out a suit which he made me do. I was excited for it, I wasn’t going to lic but the nerves outweighed my excitement.

Although people acknowledged me as their Luna already, there’s this nagging feeling at the back of my mind that it was going to be ruined for me but I shook it off.

A day before the ceremony, Rose insisted that we do not sleep in the same room because according to her, “it’s bad luck”. She said it’s similar to a wedding in the human world and we shouldn’t jinx the ceremony by sleeping in the same room the night before. She’d have made me stay in the pack house with the girls if Lyla still lived there so she made us sleep in separate rooms instead.

I couldn’t sleep all night due to two things. Firstly, I was so used to sleeping beside Adrian, engulfed in his b*dy warmth that it was so hard for me to sleep in my bed. Wearing his shirt so I could be engulfed in his scent did not do much except make me relaxed, but I wasn’t relaxed enough to sleep.

Secondly, I was so worried about the events that might happen. Adrian. hasn’t been giving me information on how finding the traitor was going, but I just felt like something was going to ruin the day for me.

“You’re still up?” Adrian’s voice rang in my head and I smiled. “It’s good to know that I’m not the only one having trouble sleeping. Missing me?” I teased him. “You bet I am. Why did Mom have to bring up this superstition to make us stay away from each other?” He groaned into the mindlink and I laughed.

“I can’t wait for all of these to be over tomorrow night so we can be back to sleeping together in each other’s arms”, he said softly and I

hummed in agreement.

“You think I can sneak into your room without being discovered?” He asked, mischief evident in his voice, making me laugh softly.

“I’ll see you in the morning. Alpha”, I said and imagined him pouting like he usually did. We talked for a while before I eventually drifted off to a restless sleep.

I woke up feeling slightly on edge. I chalked it up to feeling nervous about the mating ceremony. Rose came to get me before I could see Adrian and led me to the pack house without even getting breakfast.

She kept saying it’s bad luck to see my mate before the mating ceremony so I had my breakfast at the pack house. At 12 pm, we started getting ready for the party. My hair was refixed, my make up was done for almost 4 hours and I was fussed over. I almost shouted at Rose but kept it inside.

After the makeup was done, I waited while others got theirs done too. It was fun talking to everyone and laughing even though my thoughts kept going back to the fact that something was going to happen.

At about 5pm. I was asked to put on my clothes and that was the highlight of my day. I fell in love with the clothes that first day I saw it and it seemed to get more beautiful even though it has been altered.

It was a deep red coloured floor length gown. It had a thin strap and showed a bit of cleavage. The chest area was covered with stone. It was b*dy fitting to the knee before it flared out. It stood out against my pale skin and I was wowed by what I saw.

Gasps erupted in the room and words like, “oh my goddess, Lola, you look so amazing”, “you’re definitely going to be the center of attraction. tonight”, and many more were thrown around the room.

Rose walked up to me looking emotional. She took my hands in hers

and looked in the eyes. “I don’t know if I’ve said this before but I’m so glad my son came to his senses before he lost you. You’re finally going to be that daughter I lost and I’m so glad I was able to save you”, she said with tears in her eyes.

I understood what she was saying perfectly and that made me very emotional. I hugged her and whispered in her ears, “and I’m so lucky that you found me, Mom”. She pulled me closer and sniffed severally before pulling back. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Adrian better be wowed and get emotional when he sees you or there would be no mating ceremony Rose joked and we all laughed.

Others got ready too in their different designs of white gowns. Apparently. I was the only one wearing red since the ceremony was for

me.

Eventually it was time to get the show started. Everyone left already for the garden leaving me alone in the room. I would be notified when it was time for me to make an entrance.

“It’s time”, the phone I was holding showed a message from Rose. I dropped the phone and took a deep breath before walking through the deserted house, my red veil in place.

Here goes nothing, I thought to myself as I walked out of the pack house into the prepared garden.
