I woke up the next morning to see Ember peacefully asleep on my chest
God I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world
I look at the time to see that we REALLY needed to get up and get ready for today, "Ember sweetheart you need to wake up" I say softly "No" she says curling into my chest more
"Please...we need to start getting ready" I kiss her forehead "What time is it?" she asks "Six-thirty" I say and she groans, "We need to take a shower after last night" I say and she smiles "Okay" she says sitting up,
"Would you like to join me?" I ask her and she smirks before following me to the bathroom.
"Ryan, everything is going to be alright" she says walking behind me as I face the mirror trying to put my tie on correctly, I look at my hands to see that my hands are shaking and she wraps her arms around my waist and lays her head on my shoulder.
"I'm just nervous" I say putting my hands on her arms "You have every right to be nervous, but I promise you it's going to be okay" she says kissing my cheek then goes in front of me taking the tie out of my hands tying it for me "You look great" she says with a kind smile.
"So do you" I say putting my hands on her hips and lean down to kiss her lips gently, "We should probably get going" she says making sure my tie is correct and I nod.
I grab her hand as we walk down to the car parked in front, I open the door for her and help her in before getting in myself. I look out the window running the entire ritual through my head for the millionth time since I woke up.
Before I know it the car stops and we're sitting outside the ceremonial hall, I help Ember out of the car after getting out of it myself then we walk inside the hall.
"Ryan...Ember" Mark says with a smile as we walk into the room for me to wait in "Hey Mark" I say letting go of Ember's hand then giving Mark a hug, "Ember would you come with me?" Eddy the Epsilon asks her making her nod.
She walks over to me giving me a kiss "You're going to okay" she says pressing her forehead against mine to look into my eyes and I nod before she walks out of the room with Eddy,
"She looks like she's a lot better" Mark says once the door closes "Uh yeah...it's over" I say sitting down on one of the couches in the room "Oh...well that's good" he says sitting next to me "Yeah" I mumble.
"Everything is going to be okay" he says but I still look at the floor "Ryan look at me" he says and I slowly look up at him "Nothing is going to go wrong" he says putting his hand on my shoulder,
"I just have this odd feeling in my chest that something isn't right" I admit to him "Ryan...you are the youngest Alpha this pack has ever had, and your parents aren't here to see you become Alpha" he says and it does make sense about my concerns.
"You're right...I'm just really nervous, I mean...what if I'm not a good Alpha?" I ask him and he pulls me closer to him "You are going to be great...you are the son of Jason Matthews, it's in your blood...it's an instinct to you" he says gently,
"And you have a part of your mother in you...she was so good for not only your father but also the pack" he says with a small smile "She's your sister" I say to him "I'm well aware of that my little nephew" he says smiling even bigger "I'm not little anymore" I say smiling
"You're still five in my eyes with your spiderman pajamas and your race car bed" he says laughing making me roll my eyes "I'm never going to live that down am I?" I ask him "Nope, just wait until I tell Ember" he says making my eyes widen "Don't you dare" I say making both of us laugh hard.
*Ember's P.O.V*
I walk out of the room with Eddy and he leads me to an empty hallway before he stops walking all of the sudden and turns to me "I know about your father" he says and I feel my heart drop
"W-What did you just say to me?" I ask him "I know about your father" he says slower,
"How the hell do you know about my father?" I ask him
His name isn't even on my birth certificate.
"That doesn't matter right now but I advise you to keep how you are related to Steven James a secret from everyone" he says and I could feel my heart in my throat as he starts to walk off
"And if I don't?" I say with as much confidence I could muster "The results wouldn't be pretty" he said turning his head then continues walking.
I already knew that I wouldn't tell very many people about my father considering I was the result of an affair and that I was told by mother time and time again that I ruined her life because I caused her to never find her mate.
She fell in love with him and when she became pregnant with me, he left her and she was so depressed that she stayed home until after I was born because according to her being a pregnant twenty-year-old without a mate was embarrassing to no end.
I have no idea what Eddy meant by "The results wouldn't be pretty", is it dangerous about who my father is or is he just trying to keep the packs' reputation because the soon to be Beta was born not only out of wedlock but her parents were not mates.
What has my life come to?
