Hiding His Baby: The Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39: The right decision

 "I would like to call alpha Dominic and his mate, soon to be Luna, Stacey, to the front."A senior looking man said in a serious tone.

He was from the senior werewolf community.

He and more people like him are known as councilors.

They often make important decisions and solve problems in packs.

They are very important people and everyone respects them around here.

Even the alphas.

So, for important rituals like this, they are invited a s the main guest to complete the ceremony and put importance into it.

"Dominic, come on! I can’t wait for it to be done!"

Stacey beamed in happiness as she pulled Dominic with her up on the stage.

Dominic had a blank look on his face as he followed her motionlessly.

He didn’t know what he was doing at that moment.

His head was blasting as he felt breathless suddenly.

He looked around for something which would pull her out of the misery and suffocation he was feeling.

But the person who had the power to do that was not there and that made his heart and wolf more restless.

He looked around and his eyes first fell on the little boy, Ace.

His heart clenched as the sudden thought that he was doing something wrong to that kid stuck him and he felt some more breath getting out of her lungs.

Then his eyes fell on his group of friends or his right hand and left hand and their mates.

All of them were wearing a deep frown.

The frown of disapproval.

They didn’t like or support his decision of making Stacey their Luna.

They were present at that moment just for his sake.

No other reason.

He was making his friends disappointed.

That took some more breath out of his lungs, increasing the suffocation.

Then his eyes fell on his people and his breath just suddenly got stuck in his throat.

As what a disaster he was doing, getting more and more clear.

None of his people were happy with what was happening.

They didn’t want that.

Then why was he doing this?! How could he be so blind to not notice this before.

How could he do this to his people?! He suddenly decided that…… 

"Hello, everyone! Now that we have the Alpha and the soon to be Luna with us.We would like to hear a few things from Stacey, the future Luna and the future of Crescent Mystery pack! Please do the honour, Stacey."

Another old man said and passed the mic to Stacey which she happily took.

"Oh my goddess! Thank you so much for giving me such a big honour to be the Luna of such a strong and powerful pack.I am so happy today.This is the happiest day of my life.I can’t wait for the ceremony to be over and be your Luna.Even the thought of it makes me feel powerful.I hope I am not going to die in happiness when this happens.Hope everyone is happy with me being the Luna, because if not, too bad.You don’t have any options.Just kidding.Now let’s not waste any more time and start the ritual.Because, once again! I can’t wait!"

She shrieked out in happiness before passing the mic back to the man.

Everyone looked at her with a frown but nevertheless clapped for her crappy speech because obviously they didn’t want to upset their Alpha.

But Dominic was looking at Stacey as if she was the stupidest woman in the world.

How could he be so stupid to not notice this before?! 

"Did you see how selfish she sounded?"

"She didn’t say anything about us, her people."

"She didn’t even make any promises."

"I sounded like she just wants power, she doesn’t care about us at all."

"I don’t want her as the Luna at all."

"We can’t do anything about it.Moon goddess destined our Alpha with her."

Dominic started to breathe harshly as all those whispers attacked him from all over the room.

He knew that they were being quiet enough but his alpha ears couldn’t help but hear them and she couldn’t agree more with them.

"Alpha Dominic, now it’s time you mark her the traditional way every wolf marks his mate by biting at the special spot on your mate’s neck.Then using the moon stone, blessing of our moon goddess, we will mark her as the Luna of the pack."

Another old man announced while raising a while shiny stone up in the air for everyone to see.

Moon stone is considered a small piece of the moon which the moon goddess gifted the world to use for occasions like this.

Occasions like when the Luna has to take her position ritually, or when the alpha becomes an alpha not by the bloodline or when one of the mates are human.

The moon stone is very beautiful and powerful.

Everyone does their best to keep it protected because that was the only piece on the earth and they can’t let any evil people get their hands on this.

Because they can misuse it in many ways because it’s filled with power.

"Dominic? What are you waiting for? Come and mark me as yours for forever! I am waiting, my love."Stacey said in an impatient tone while forwarding her exposed neck toward him.

He frowned looking at her as suddenly everything got silent around him.

As different thoughts attacked him to think about the situation again and suddenly he came to a decision.

‘We can’t do this.We can’t do this to our people.We can’t do this to her.We can’t do this to ourselves"

He suddenly thought in his mind and heard his wolf howl in agreement.

‘That’s what I am talking about! Just get the fuck out of this place and go get our mate!’ Dominic looked at Stacey and his eyes flashed golden.

His canines came out as he took a step toward her.

She looked at him in excitement as she beamed in happiness.
