Alpha or Beta? (Being edited)

Chapter 16

Kari's POV:

Once the wooden doors are open I sense all eyes on me. I look up and see everyone staring in my direction. Bryce is on the stage and he waves for me to join him. I give him a shy smile and slowly walk forward with Evie still by my side.

Uh, I don't know if I can do this anymore, they literally won't stop looking at me. Okay Kari, if you're going to be Luna someday you're going to need to get used to this. I take a deep breath. Alright now I need to make a good first impression.

I flash my brightest smile and look around at the people in the pack. Everyone is so different. The ages of the people range anywhere from infants to the elderly. Although there is a great amount of people here, I did notice that sitting in the front row is Mimi and Macy, and what I'm assuming are their families. When they lock eyes with me I give them a look that says 'surprise'. Neither of them have any idea that Bryce is now the Alpha or that I'm going to be the Luna. Actually nobody in the pack knows. Well I'm sure they all felt the power shift from Trent to someone else but they don't know who the new Alpha is yet.

When I make it onto the stage I stand next to Bryce and wait for him to begin talking to the pack. "I thank everyone for dropping what they were doing to come to this important meeting. As you all know, Trent is no longer the Yellow Moon pack's Alpha. He did something awful and I took a stand against him. You all previously knew me as Beta, but from this point forth, I'm the new Alpha. Now I don't want any hard feelings so I wanted to bring you all here to see if anyone opposes to me being the New Alpha. If so please speak now." Bryce stops his speech and we search the whole crowd looking to see if anyone opposes his new position. Nothing, no one moves to raise their hand or speak.

Suddenly everyone in the room in front of us stands from their chairs. The next thing they do shocks me. All the members of the pack place their hand on their hearts, get down on one knee, and look down. I stare at them in amazement. This must be their way of showing their acceptance of Bryce as the new leader. I grab Bryce's hand and squeeze it real fast. He look at me and smiles. Pride and joy run through my body. The pack accepts Bryce as leader, it makes me so happy.

"Thank you all, you may be seated again." Bryce says after a few moments. I release his hand and wait for everyone to sit down and for him to continue. "Now some of you may have gotten the idea that Trent found his mate when he was Alpha. This was actually false, Kari here is really my mate. Trent wouldn't allow me to be with her, and he used a bracelet charm to trick Kari into thinking they were mates." Ah so it was a spell in the bracelet. I knew Trent being able to trick me had to do with the bracelet but I wasn't sure exactly what it was that was able to fool me. "I want to keep this meeting short, so allow me to present the new Beta of the pack," everyone gets really quiet and waits for Bryce's announce who the Beta will be. In all honesty I have no idea who he will pick. It's not like he was really close to any of the guys that I know about besides Trent.

"Macy Stewart."

Everyone's eyes lock onto Macy in the front row. She just sits there for a moment in shock and looks up at Bryce. He looks back at her knowingly, she nods and stands up and walks to the stage. She stands next to Bryce on the other side of him. Everyone from the pack claps as soon as she stops walking, I hear Jamie, Harry and Pauly screaming loudly which makes me laugh to myself. "That will conclude tonight's meeting if anyone has any concerns or comments then please feel free to come talk to me whenever you want." Bryce steps away from the podium and turns to me, "See, it wasn't that bad." He says.

I shrug my shoulders and look at Macy and smile brightly. "Congratulations Macy! It's really exciting that you're Beta. I guess that means we will be seeing a lot of eachother, you know me being soon-to-be Luna and all." I say. She gives me a half smile.
