How Alpha Found His Luna

I start looking behind me to see if he's really looking at someone else but I notice it's just me standing here. Once he approaches me, he holds out his hand. "May I have this dance?" He asks in a deep husky voice. I stare at him in shock and then quickly snap out of the trance that his gorgeous green eyes has captured my attention. "Y-Yes." I reply softly as I place the strawberry stem down onto the napkin on the table and place my hand into his as he begins escorting me out to the middle of the dance floor. I can feel everyone's eyes staring at us as they're smiling except for my brother's and his pack along with most of the girls' eyes that are shooting daggers at me right now. However, none of them matter. I suddenly am finding myself looking back into his eyes and not being able to blink. I know this might sound cliche and all but really, once we begin dancing to the music together I feel almost as though it's a scene from a movie. My heart is skipping a beat and I'm feeling my knees becoming a little weak. Why, out of every other beautiful girl that's here, why would he choose me? Did my brother set me up and paid him to come and dance with me, just to embarrass me even more? Alpha Liam is dancing with me. He is ruthless and is one of the most feared and yet most respected Alpha's there is and his training is intense as is also trying to get into his pack.

Then it finally became clear as for the first time I heard my wolf, Amethyst's voice finally speak to me after three years......."Mate!" © Copyright 2018 All Rights ReservedComplete
