Healing the Ruthless Alpha novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35

With the speed at which they rushed towards us, I thought they might run into us but they stopped a foot away and shoved microphones toward our direction.

“Alpha Calhir, after twenty-seven years, how did you find your mate?” One woman shouted in our faces.

“Miss Sihana, who are you?” Another asked.

“Alpha Cahir, Miss Sihana, where did you meet? What is your story!?” The bombardment of questions made me stick closer to Cahir because I feared I may be overwhelmed to the point of fainting which was not something I needed to happen to me on such an important day.

Why were there reporters here? Luna Ceremonies were common and not as prestigious as Alpha Ceremonies which were planned for months on end. Very few Alphas had reporters covering their succession and most of the time, the reporters were from local news houses so why were there international reporters at a Luna Ceremony.

I spotted a reporter from The Wolves Channel and Werewolves Broadcasting Network, which were two of the biggest international news houses on the planet.

How did these people know of something as mundane as a Luna Ceremony and why, for the goddess’ sake, had they come!?

“Alpha Cahir, why did you decide to show your face to the world today after five years of hiding?” The reporter from the Werewolves Broadcasting Network asked and everything clicked in my head.

Even when Cahir became the Alpha of this pack, there was no international coverage for his succession ceremony despite it being one of the most talked about events that year. So why were there people shoving microphones in my face for my Luna Ceremony?

It answer was simple. He called them.

My chest tightened as I connected the dots.

Why would he do something like this to me? Was he setting me up to be humiliated on a wider scale than I had been before? What would he gain from something like this?

The fact that he suddenly announced a Luna Ceremony was suspicious in the first place. It was less than a week since we mated and I had not even settled into the pack. I didn’t even know who planned the ceremony which I should have planned myself. He sprung the news of a Luna Ceremony on me and he brought all these reporters who watched me like hawks.

I would be in the news tomorrow or maybe even this night. What would they say about me? What did Cahir tell them to write about me? Why was he doing this to me!? Even if he had no ill intentions, which I doubted, even if he did not call on all these people to watch me make a fool of myself, there was no way he did not know that I wouldn’t want them here. How could he not have figured out that I didn’t like people watching me? If he could not ask me whether I wanted the event to be covered, the least he could do was tell me there would be reporters so I prepared beforehand.

This man – This same man was the person Laura wanted me to love. Laura expected me to care for a man who did not care for me? How could he help me heal when he was the one breaking me the more?

I became lightheaded and swayed on my feet yet again.

“Step back,” Cahir growled at the reporters inching forward with their microphones. The reporters complied without pause. “I invited everyone to witness my mate’s Luna Ceremony because I felt generous,” he answered one of the reporters then continued. “My mate is Sihana Armani, originally from the Silver Moon pack but today, she officially joins Alpha Blood as her Luna.”

This was another thing I was scared of. To become the Luna of this pack, I had to be a member of the pack but I was still tied to Silver Moon. If I stayed away from Silver Moon pack as a solitary wolf for up to a year, my bond with the pack would naturally break due to distance and lack of emotional connection but now, Cahir would have to forcefully break my bond with Silver Moon through this ceremony. And it would hurt.

“How did you both meet? Was it love at first sight?” More questions started up again but he raised his hand to silence them.

“Sihana will answer your questions after the Ceremony if she is in the mood to.” With his hand around me, he marched forward and the sea of reporters divided for us to pass through. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

The members of the pack who had all rushed out when they heard we had arrived chanted our names with big smiles on their faces as we entered the central pack house.

The walls were decorated with welcome messages with balloons and ribbons decorating the ceiling as we walked into the pack house.

“It’s the man and woman of the hour!” Aristo walked towards us with two blond women hanging off his arms. “Congratulations on your mating, Sia.” He beamed at me, untangling himself from the women clinging to him.

“Thank you, Aristo.” I was happy to see a familiar face in the mass of unfamiliar ones staring at me.
