Bullied By Twin Alphas
Chapter 22: Finally Luna

I looked at Luna Addison with a strange expression.

“About to begin?” I asked, and she laughed, nodding and waking away. My mom shrugged and gave me a soft k**s on my forehead.

“You look absolutely stunning.” She said. “I raised such a wonderful and beautiful daughter.” I nodded, holding her hands.

“I love you mom. Thank you for helping with this.” I replied, and she nodded, waving her hand in the air.

“No worries, honey. I can help plan anything you want now that I’m retired. I’m going to go find your dad.” I watched her walk through the crowd, and looked for my mates as well. I spotted them, Xavier in a black button up, Xander in a gray button up, and Wyatt in a white button up. That…well, I guess that worked. I shook my head and walked over to them, Dash snorting in laughter. Before I reached them, Wyatt turned and noticed me, nudging Xander. They both stared at me, eyes wide open. Xavier turned and flashed me a dazzling smile, and I couldn’t help but smile back.

“A lot of wolves here, huh?” I said, wrapping my arm loosely around Xavier’s waist.

“Yes, the whole pack showed up. I’m assuming Green Leaf and Silver Mountain did, too. The Alpha and Gamma of Black Crescent are here as well.” He replied, looking around. My heart missed a couple beats. That was an insanely large amount of wolves. I looked around, watching people converse within their own groups, in a space almost too small for them.

I decided to wander around a little bit with Xavier by my side, introducing myself to pack members I hadn’t met yet. I noticed Heather and a group of her friends sitting at a table by the food tables, a scowl on her face as she stared at the table. Her sourness didn’t bother me, the day was going perfectly. I eventually found the Alpha of Black Crescent. He wasn’t a bad looking man. He had charm, but seemed to be almost brooding. His name was Kade, and his Gammas name was Berthold I think.

After a few hours, a Council Elder stood in front of the packs, waiting for the noise to quiet down. When we all faced her, she smiled and began to speak.

“Good evening everyone. We’re here today to witness a Luna taking her place beside her mates, and the birth of a new pack.” She began, diving into her speech. It was kind of long, a lot of people looking bored before it ended, but I thought it was beautiful. Dash made agreeing noises here and there, her confidence and pride flowing through me as well.

“Lilith, Xavier, Wyatt, and Xander, please join me up here.” She said, and we made our way towards the front of the packs, taking our places by her side. A man produced a large silver bowl, with intricate carvings and sapphires. There was a silver dagger inside the bowl, the same carving and sapphires adorning the handle. I quickly said my vows to the pack, Dash saying hers with me. I felt like I was going to ugly cry if I took too long to say them. She asked the boys their pack vows again, and they each nodded through theirs as well.

The Council Elder slashed the dagger across my palm, catching the drops of b***d in the bowl as the wound started healing instantly. My hand held above the bowl, the boys adding theirs next to mine. There was a sudden gush of wind, and what seemed like a million voices entered the air, calling out in cheers and happiness. The four of smiled at the crowd, voices filling my head with congratulations.

“Blue River Pack has been born!” The Elder called across the crowd. “Rise above, and prove this pack is the strongest, smartest, and fastest to anyone who dares rise up in defiance!” The crowd erupted with more cheers, the sound filling the clearing. My head began pounding.

“Please, enjoy the meals, refreshments, and conversations with loved ones. Anyone who is able to participate in the pack run, I expect to join us at 8 pm right here.” The crowd dispersed, still noisy with happiness. My eyes glistened, tears threatening to fall. My new pack. Blue River would be hard to get used to, but it was mine to take care of.

“Are you okay princess?” Xander asked, and I nodded at him, smiling. He smiled back, moving his hand to trace his mark on my body. I giggled at the sensation, heading towards the food table to stuff my face before the massive amount of energy I was about to use up. I loaded my plate with all my favorite barbecue food items; a small rack of ribs, a sirloin steak, a scoop of potato salad and macaroni salad, a scoop of baked beans, a burger, a couple brats, and some chips.

Sitting down with my feast, I ate away happily, the food filling my stomach slowly. It smelled delicious, and tasted better. My stomach was full by the time I had finished my burger, and I still had some beans, chips, and a brat left. Dash snorted in laughter.

“Pig.” Heather snarled as she walked past where I was sitting. I just stared after her as she walked into the packhouse. Her dress was too short for the length of her body, but her hair and makeup were beautiful as always. I rolled my eyes, throwing away the plastic plate and wandering around.

“Luna Lilith!” My name didn’t even register for a moment, but Sherri’s voice did, so I turned towards her. She laughed at my reaction when the confused look slid off my face, and I laughed with her. “How does it feel baby?” She asked, drawling out the word baby.

“No different yet. I’m sure that will be different tomorrow. Or soon.” I said, smiling at her. She nodded, and we decided to walk around together. After a few minutes, I got thirsty. We walked over to an area that had drinks, and I filled a red solo cup with sweet tea, sipping it slowly.

“Alright, I’m gonna go get changed for the pack run.” I said, and Sherri nodded.

“I should, too.” She said, and we walked up to our rooms. She left me on the third floor, while I went up to the fourth. I opened the door to my bedroom and saw Xander and Wyatt changing into shorts, Xavier exiting the bathroom already in shorts.

“Well, I see we all had the same idea.” Xander said, fixing his hair. Wyatt laughed and nodded. Xavier gave me a quick k**s on my head as I searched through my drawers for workout clothes. Getting dressed in a black tank top and plain black shorts, I left the room with the boys. We entered the back yard again, noticing a lot of people had changed their clothes as well.

“Alright, is everyone ready?” Xaviers voice boomed across the opening. There was a chorus of yes, and Xavier nodded in pride. Xander and Wyatt were the first to shift, Theo and Rex stretching in appreciation. Xavier immediately shifted after them, his wolf circling me and sitting down. When he sat, everyone’s eyes were on me. I gave Sherri a small smile, and Dash immediately pushed forward. I dropped to the ground, paws coming from where my hands were, my jaw and nose elongating. It was over in a short period of time, and Dash snapped her jaws in a yawn, stretching out.

There were a lot of gasps, and I guessed it was because of the diamonds on my face in different colors. Everyone began to shift after their shock wore off. Soon enough, there was a large crowd of too many wolves. Xavier noticed everyone’s discomfort at being crowded together. He howled and took off, Dahs following right on his tail. Xander and Wyatt soon joined, and we ran around the mountain in no time, the large amount of wolves crashing through the rocks and sparse forests.

A few hours passed, and the group had lessened to half its size, allowing the rest of us to spread out a little more. After a little longer, the group was thinned out to a fourth of its size. The run itself was exhilarating, the snow crunching under our paws as we ran in circles around the territory. Some even took it further and passed the territory marker, making their way back to Green Leaf territory.

Xavier, Wyatt, Xander, and I were the last ones to end the run. Dash was having fun with her mates, so I pushed myself to the back of her mind and enjoyed the relaxation. By the time the run was finished, it was well past midnight and I was exhausted. I shifted back, leaning into Wyatt’s arms.

“Hey, you okay babygirl?” He murmured, wrapping his arms around me.

“I’m exhausted.” I yawned, and he chuckled softly, picking me up bridal style. I curled into his chest, halfway asleep. I knew we were going to our room, and as soon as we stepped in, the air felt amazing. It was nice and chilly against our sweaty bodies. Unfortunately, nothing could keep me awake at this point, and my eyes shut on their own accord.
