Nicklaus’s POV
“Yes dear, it feels so good to be back home again, everyone wants to see me, I had to sneak into our room.”
“I understand, You are the popular Luna and everyone is talking about you.”
“I guess I don’t like being popular but seeing the way it makes me feel, I will say I love it but why did you make the celebration take place for two days?”
I hugged her from behind at the front of her dressing mirror. “Because it’s for you my love, You deserve everything and for your sake, I will always create more balls just for you to be happy.”
” I do not know how to thank you but thank you so much.”
“You don’t have to thank me at all, This is my duty and I am glad I am fulfilling it as well.” I kissed her and she responded like she was craving for my touch when a knock came in and I knew it was Mateo because I already smelt him. He is good at ruining good times like this but it’s good to know he doesn’t barge in as usual, he has learned the habit of knocking before coming in.
“I will see you later dear.”
“Okay dear, I will be waiting.” She kissed me and smiled at me.
“I will not waste time at whatever they are calling me for, I just can’t wait to feel you again.” I winked at her and exited the room.
“What is it, Mateo?”
“The elders are here.
“Let me guess, they heard the rumors and decided to be on my good side so they can have access to the Luna.” I said and he nodded his head saying, “I guess so.”
“Let’s go then,” I added and we walked together to my office they were all seated waiting for me and when they noticed my presence, they stood on their feet to show their respect. I took my seat and allowed them to speak.
“Greetings Alpha Nicklaus, we are sorry for coming unannounced but it is important we came as well, Now we have the Moon god Luna on our side, why don’t we tell her to raise the war and attack our enemies, subdue it, and take territories that belongs to our enemies.”
“With that, we will get stronger and feared across the town and cities.”
I allowed them to finish and I stood up saying, “I have heard you but you do not command the Luna neither do you tell her what to do and what not to do.”
“We are sorry alpha, We just got so excited knowing we got a great weapon on our hands to kill the enemy and win the war.”
“How dare you call my wife a weapon? How dare you?” I gripped the elder neck that called my wife a weapon and they started pleading for him to be spared.
“Luna Gabriella is not a tool to be controlled, she is the queen and also my mate, if you ever try this nonsense again, I will make sure I paint you all with your blood, I wonder what kind of elders you all are but a time will come, I will replace you all with elders that have wisdom, I am done here and I will be the one to call for the next meeting, all of you get lost,” I yelled at them and they rushed out immediately without wasting a second behind and I roared again but when Mateo came in, I calmed myself.
“Are you okay?” he asked and I nodded, “Yes I am okay.”
“Have they started the preparation?”
“Yes they have and the first day will begin tomorrow, we will be able to run in the woods, the people can’t wait to experience the Luna shifting into a werewolf.”
“Perfect then.”
“Hey love, are you not done with the pack issues? I am missing you.”
Gabby finally mind-linked with me and I smiled as I replied, “I will join you shortly and I also miss you as well.”
“Okay then I will be waiting, Let us eat lunch together.” She ended the mind link, this is a good thing that she can mind link with me. I will be able to communicate with her now.
Day 1 OF THE FEAST
Everyone gathered around in the woods in the evening time and a lot of dishes were served with wine as well. They all waited for us to come in so we could start the occasion and when the ladies who came in to dress my wife left the room, I decided to go in and see my beauty.
My jaw dropped with just a glance, “How do I look in this? I look weird right?” She questioned.
“You look magnificent my love.” I kissed her hands and she smiled at me.
“Thank you.”
“Shall we?”
“Yes, we shall.” I held her hands and walked slowly.
Mateo announced our presence, Tonight is just met for the adults while the kids will be engaged with our history reading so they know their foundation and be able to walk in our customs as well.
Gabby and I walked to our seats without everyone clapping and screaming for joy and I said the word they have all been expecting, “Let the celebration begin.”
“YESSSSSS!!!!!!!” They jubilated and each activity started one after the other.
The traditional dance and stunts were carried out. A race was set and a winner will be celebrated to guide the Luna as well, This is how we chose the Luna bodyguard, only those who are fast in shifting into a werewolf can endure pain and are also good at defending themselves.
I looked at Gabby, she looked so happy and focused as well, I had never seen her this way before but it was a good sight to behold, I must confess. It finally got to the time, when Gabby and I would shift in the presence of everyone and let our wolves communicate, and then others would do the same.
“Are you ready?”
“I was born ready.” She replied with a smile.
