The Alpha's Daughter

Bonding Preparations

It turns out that when Dylan brought Shane home, half of his pack came with him. If that isn't loyalty, I don't know what is.

The women in our pack were very busy, organising places for them to stay, meals for them to eat.

Although, they were more stressed out by the fact that more members of Shane's pack would be arriving tomorrow, as they arrived with his sister.

Our bonding ceremony would be held in three days, so all the preparations for that were being made. I have never seen my pack so lively, excited or nervous all at once.

Although I said I didn't want the ceremony to be a big thing, the girls weren't having any of it.

Lindsey had sent out Nathan, Logan and Cameron, along with Jenna and Megan to order the flowers. Her and Becca were trying to convince me to go dress shopping.

"I don't want to." I whined.

"I don't care." Becca replied in the same tone I had used.

"Come on Lilly, don't you want to look pretty on the day of your bonding?" Lindsey coaxed.

I sighed. We'd been arguing for twenty minutes and I was getting nowhere.

"Fine, I'll go.".

Both girls screamed and ran upstairs to grab jackets. I got my purse, and Lindsey got her keys. Next think you know, we're off into town.

Who would have ever thought there could be so many dresses?

I had decided that I didn't want a white dress, because it reminded me too much of the almost-bonding.

Instead, we were on the lookout for a pretty dress, yet one that covered my markings.

We'd been in and out of about six shops in the last two hours, and I've tried on over forty dresses. My feet were sore and I just wanted to go home and cuddle with my mate.

'Just can't stop thinking about me, can you?' I heard Shane say in my mind.

'Would you rather me think about someone else?' I teased. In return, he growled at me.

'Luna, I've been told to ask you to please be back at the pack house tonight for seven I think,' Shane told me.

'What for?'

'My father has asked for a meeting with us and Logan, to decide what will be done with the packs in the future.'

I agreed and told him I'd see him then, before being dragged into yet another shop.

We found the dress after only a few minutes of searching.

It was a long maxi-dress, with lots of different colours flowing through it, that became a flower pattern at the hem. Under the bust was a row of clear and blue diamonte diamonds, and it had a sweetheart neckline.

"This is the dress." I told them.

Becca clapped her hands together and said, "Thank the Lord, it's nearly over!"

Lindsey found my size and shoved me in the direction of the changing rooms while she went to look for shoes.

I tried on the dress and admired it in the mirror, loving the feel of it against me.

Lindsey appeared with a cute pair of nude wedges, that had diamonte stones across the front strap.

"I want those shoes." Becca said from behind her. I laughed and stepped out in the whole ensamble.

Both girls stopped and looked at me, small smiles on their faces.

"What do you think?"

The bags containing our outfits were safely hidden in the boot of lindseys car, to be transferred to her bedroom later when Chris came to help her.

Shane was waiting for me at the front steps.

"Did you miss me?" I called out to him, getting out of the car.

"Every second you're not with me." He said as he enveloped me in a hug.

"Hi there," I said, kissing his chin as that was the only part of him I could reach.

"Hi to you too," He replied, kissing my forehead.

"Get a room!" Becca shouted on her way past.

"That sounds like a good idea.."

I smacked his arm lightly. "No. We have to meet with your dad in half an hour and I'm hungry, so I want food."

"I think they got it wrong when they said food is a way to a man's heart, it seems to please you just as much." Shane teased as we walked to the kitchen.

I made us sandwiches, before we had to go and meet Dylan, deciding our future.
