Claimed

~Chapter 7~

Darius put me down, and I started running back to the pack house doors, still hanging onto Grace's arm and pulling her as I ran.

"Let's go!! We need time to get ready!" I complained. I kept pulling at her arm, dragging her on the ground and probably giving her clothes grass stains.

"Ugh!!" Grace groaned, and let me drag her to the doors.

"C'mon!" I yelled and pulled her up again, before she laughed and finished getting up herself.

She dusted off her pants and sure enough, grass blood was all over them, although she didn't seem to care.

"We'll be back after!" Grace shouted behind her, aiming the message at Darius and Hayden.

"Wait!" Darius called before jogging up to us and grabbing my face gently, kissing my forehead. I smiled up at him and this time Grace was attempting to drag me.

We ran into my room, closing the door behind us to start 'working our magic' as Grace calls it.

I stopped her, walking with her to Hayden's room to grab my stuff. We cautiously opened the door.

"What do you need from here?" She asked, still tiptoeing on the wooden floors.

"My suitcase and stuff." I told her and she nodded her head before helping me carry them back to my room.

"Wait, why was your stuff in Hayden's room?" She asked.

"Uhm, because he took me home from the hospital." I quickly made up an excuse.

"Hospital? Why were you in the hospital? Are you okay?" Crap. I forgot I didn't tell her about that yet.

"Oh, yeah I'm fine, I just..."

"Just, what? Liliana please tell me."

"Got forcefully marked, okay? I got forcefully marked." I hung my head, refusing to look at her.

"No...did Darius...?"

"No!" I quickly put down her assumptions. "It-it was Aaron."

"Aaron?! That son of a bitch! I never liked him."

I chuckled slightly. "That's literally what every friend says after a break up." I looked back up at her.

"Can..can I see?" She asked, as if it would offend me.

"Uhm, sure, but it's still kinda irritated because I won't accept it."

I gently pulled off the shoulder part of my shirt, revealing the irritated crossed arrows, red and puffy.

Grace gasped when she saw it, and kinda stared at it for a bit. I held the collar of my shirt in my hand, searching her face for expressions or movement.

I covered the mark back up with my shirt, trying to focus back on getting ready. She seemed to snap out of the trance and grabbed her bag, putting it on the bed before opening it.

"Okay, so I brought a couple dresses with me because you said it was a party." She pulled a black dress and a white dress out of her bag, making me ogle at the black one.

"This one is mine." I stated before grabbing the dress, running into the connecting bathroom and locking both doors.

I changed into the dress, it going past my ankles and covering my feet, sparkles coating the top and fanning out, making it sort of ombré. It was strapless and had a sweetheart neckline, and the bottom was tulle, sort of princess-like.

I walked back out after unlocking both doors, and Grace squealed, blowing out my ear drums. She was wearing the other dress, which was basically the same as mine but white.

"Ahh!! You look so good!" I gushed.

"You do too!"

"Okay, now makeup, hair, and shoes."

We did our makeup and helped each other pick out shoes. Long story short, it wasn't too eventful, but it took forever.

*****************

Eventually, we finished, and I knocked on Darius' door to see if he was ready. He opened the door and grinned at me.

"You look beautiful." He smiled, pulling me closer to him to give me a gentle kiss.

I pulled away to look at him. "You aren't even dressed?" I asked, smiling along with him.

He knelt down and acted like he was worshiping me. "I need your wise fashion advice." He joked and I laughed.

"Okay, peasant, but only because I am a nice person." I joked too, and we laughed together.

We walked to his room, no longer giggling, and I pulled a black suit out of his closet, nodding as I handed it to him.

I noticed the grey walls and gold accents covering them, and his matching bed. Pretty much everything in here was grey. It looked kind of...sophisticated, though.

He started pulling down his pants, and I screamed briefly before running out of the room, closing the door behind me.

"That was rude." I hear him mumble, and I chuckle.

A few minutes later, he walked back out of his room, only wearing the suit pants and the dress shirt, no tie or jacket.

"Not exactly what I expected, but you still look good, so let's go."

We walked to the pack living room together, and I saw Grace, already with Hayden, sucking faces again.

I ignored them, and Darius' hand slipped around mine, engulfing it. I looked up to him and he smiled at me.

A man walked other to us and smiled at Darius, doing a slight bow before thanking him.

"Thank you for letting me stay, Alpha. Luna." He addressed me before walking away. I guess that was the new pack member.

Darius kissed my forehead. "I have to go, I need to introduce Luke to the pack."

He walked out the door to the back yard and the entire pack followed him, waiting patiently for the announcement.

Darius jogged up the stairs of the stage, and everyone watched him, including me, as he introduced the new pack member.

Midway through his speech, I noticed a man standing behind him, only a small part of his face visible, but the silver knife he had in his hand visible.

He was going to kill Darius.
