Crazy Little Thing Called Mate

\Twenty•Eight/

-Everest-

As I made my way out of mine and Titus' bedroom the sound of people talking from the first floor hit my ears, it made my heart race.

I became ultra aware of myself and knew I would surely do something that would completely ruin this night.

"My dear Lady Graystone," I turned my head at the sound of my father in law approaching me, "I dare say you look every part an Alpha's wife."

"I hope that's a good thing Alpha Supreme."

"I can assure you it is my dear, as it is my son who is the lucky Alpha to have you on his arm tonight...speaking of, would you do me the honor as we ascend to our party awaiting us downstairs?" He asked as he held out his elbow for me to place my hand in the crook of his arm.

We both knew I couldn't refuse him.

In all honesty the man had never truly wronged me, he just...gives me an eerie vibe, it makes me ultra alert whenever he's around. This more than likely comes from my family hauling him as some sort of king...who wouldn't be nervous around royalty?

I carefully took his arm and let him lead me down the stairs. At the very least, I'd have one hell of an entrance and with his help I wouldn't fall flat on my face in front of all these people I've never met before.

As we carefully made our way down the grand staircase silence spread throughout the room and a booming voice suddenly sounded.

"Esteemed ladies and gentlemen, The Alpha Supreme and The Lady Graystone."

The silence was thick as all eyes were suddenly on me.

I instantly became a nervous wreck.

These people were as emotionless and silent as corpses, even hushed whispers of disdain would've been better than the unknown judgment of these strangers that now seemed to surround me, ogling me like a frightened animal on display at a zoo.

I just knew at any moment my heart would literally beat straight out of my chest due to my intense nervousness.

Suddenly the sound of footsteps behind me pulled me from my inner turmoil.

The booming voice sounded once again, "Our ever vigilant leader, Lord Titus, Alpha Graystone."

Lord?...Lady?

I know I had mentioned that the alpha supreme is like royalty and to be honest that's basically the way a ton of Weres are raised, but it felt so surreal to hear lord and lady...I'd of probably flat out laughed and began looking around if they'd of called me princess like 'who me?'

When Titus came to my side he immediately placed a hand intimately at the small of my back before he spoke. Wave of reassurance surged through me in the form of those strange yet comforting vibrating pulses from Titus' touch.

"My friends, it is a great honor to have you all here in my home with me tonight as I get to introduce you all to the newest member of this household and the only person who can get away with telling me what to do."

A polite round of chuckles sounded at Titus' playful remark.

"It is with great pleasure that I get to introduce you all to my lovely wife, your soon to be Luna, Lady Everest Graystone."

I tried to keep my blush at bay as the applause sounded.

"Now let the cocktail party begin."
