The Ulti-Mate Revenge

Part 26

Becca POV

'Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the stage Alpha Blade and Luna Rebecca!' the man at the microphone shouted. Applause rebounded throughout the ball room as we made our way down the aisle and up the short flight of stairs. Blade was the utmost gentleman helping me ascend ever so carefully. He walked to the front and I stood dutifully beside him.

The ceremony was done by Blade's parents. It was a symbolic ritual which passed the leadership from one generation to another.

I did not know what I felt for Blade at the moment it was just lust. My body craved for his and my wolf yearned to be near him. I felt needy and weak. I said my vows hoping that someday my words would be true.

The applause began after the ceremonial joining of our blood. Luckily I wore my six inch heels or else I would strain to mark Blade properly. Blade reopening my mark hurt since it was already healed. Cheers erupted as we kissed and our blood mixed again.

Blade raised his hand and the noise stopped.

'Welcome and good night fellow Thunder Pack members. My leadership has become complete when I found my mate. Over the last two years you have been dutifully at my side helping me become a better Alpha. As you know no one is complete until he finds his other half and the Moon Goddess has blessed me with the perfect mate. As Luna she will guide you all and be by my side forever.'

I inwardly cringed at his words. Perfect mate?

So cheesy. I mind linked him

He looked at me and smiled, 'Rebecca,' he held out his hand and I put mine into his hesitantly, 'Welcome to the Thunder Moon Pack.' He then touched my mark and it glowed. The crowd gasped then cheered ever so loudly. I stood there silently looking at Blade, he looked at me and smiled broader.

'You are mine, now for ever no do overs. I am now yours cheese and all!'

'Bring it on!' I challenged and he laughed.

'You have no idea, my mate how far I will bring it to you!'

'Your Luna will now address you.' I looked at Blade in panic.

He pushed me in front of the microphone. I looked out at the faces below me. They were all smiling awaiting my speech. I looked at Blade again; the jerk was smiling at my discomfort. I was an alpha's daughter. I was Rebecca Jerome. I stood squarely and smiled at my captive audience. He wanted a show I will give him one!!

'Thank you everyone for welcoming me so warmly to your Pack.' The cheers accompanied my words.

'I vow as your Luna my absolute loyalty to the Thunder Moon Pack. I promise to lead equally with my mate and lead you successfully as alpha female as we journey successfully into the future!' The applause was thunderous as the roars and howls erupted into a frenzy.

I turned to look at Blade and smiled. The party began in earnest as food and drinks were being served.

Equals, Luna? He questioned.

Alpha female. I responded smugly.

Alpha Female? I see you think you have skills. Blade responded.

I marked you so we are now equals! I countered. You are stuck with me for life.

Blade pulled to him and kissed me roughly. I don't mind at all.

We descended the stairs and were flocked by members of the pack who came to congratulate us.

My feet were aching as well as my hands, my waist and my mouth. Blade had me glued to his side all evening. Each time I tried to move away he somehow pulled me back in. I was suffocating. The smile I had plastered on my face was hurting my cheeks and my hands had shaken so many hands and given so many hugs were exhausted. I was knackered.

I finally decided to hide in the ladies toilet for a reprieve.

'You okay?' Bree asked coming into the toilet. She was so bubbly and seemed to be genuinely nice.

'My feet ache!' I said taking off my white pumps and rubbing my toes. They were slightly red.

'Tell me about it!' she said also removing her red stiletto heels.

'You and Blade seem happy!' she cooed. I inwardly coiled.

'It is still early days.' I tried to be diplomatic in my answer.

'Come on, he looks like he can't resist you.'

I bent my head, As if! Resist torturing me more like it! I thought.

'Plus I could tell you guys were having it on before you came to the ceremony.' I looked at her in shock how did she know?

'Um well!' I stuttered embarrassed.

'The afterglow of sex was written all over you two.' She said her eyes alight with mischief.

I touched the mark and blushed. My face was red.

'I- we- forget it!' I said giving up and Bree laughed some more.

'Actually, Blade and I were in his office when I volunteered to get you ready but he insisted he would remind you since he had to collect some papers from your room. I waited but he never came back so I added two and two and came up with 69.' Bree was an imp.

'I see.' I said my blush deepening. 'You are bad.'

Bree looked at me smiling and gave me a hug. 'I try.'

'So you and my brother huh ...I never would have put you two together.' She said abstractly.

'I know?' I responded. 'The Moon Goddess has warped sense of humour.'

'I mean you two have some pretty interesting history. Imagine the stories you have about the two of you.' Bree looked at me. 'It's so strange, I was there that night but I don't really know what went on and no one is willing to tell me anything. That doesn't stop the rumours though.'

'Well...' I began but we heard a loud noise and the music had stopped. We rushed out of the toilet and saw chaos unfolding.

Huge winged black creatures were flying through the ballroom. Their eyes were red and they were so frightening looking. They were shooting fire from their mouths and sending the balls at the persons below them. The warriors were using shields to deflect the fireballs. I could see some casualties on the floor burnt to a crisp.

'Valcans!' I screamed.

'What were they doing here? I thought they were extinct.' Bree shouted.

'I thought they were myths.' I agreed as we watched the creatures circle around and aim at anyone in the sight.

They were faster and nimbler than the warriors. I grabbed Bree's hand as we scanned the crowd for Blade. He was not in the room. We saw an explosion outside and we could hear screams. We scrambled to the floor and tried to move on hands and knees. We hid behind a pillar with a huge potted fern.

'Where is the exit?' I asked Bree.

'On the other side but the corridors through there on the left lead to rooms and there is also another exit through the grand room.' She informed me.

'Let's do it!' I prompted as we scurried past and a fireball zoomed close to my feet. I looked up and a valcan stared at me. Its red eyes shining and it began to smile. It blew out a huge fireball which began to churn into a huge ball. I froze. The valcan raised the ball and threw it my way. I screamed as hands grabbed my waist dragging me away. The fireball hit the pillar which exploded and brought down the ceiling.

'Follow me!' Blade said carrying me away down the corridor over his shoulders. He was shirtless.

Channon had Bree as we dashed down the darkened corridor. The chandeliers and low ceiling made it difficult for the valcan to follow us but he attempted to send fireballs our way which Blade and Channon expertly dodged although it was coming from behind us.

'Get in and stay there!' he commanded as he shoved us into a room. We were pulled inside and the door locked as Blade and Channon disappeared on the other side of the door.

We turned around and Juliet rushed to us. She hugged Bree and pulled me into her embrace. 'Oh I thought something happened to you two!'

'Mom!' Bree said as tears flowed down her face.

I was in too much shock to do anything.
