026 – I’m A Shifter

ADAN.

I was in my office waiting for any sign that Laira and Lena were done introducing themselves to her, but it had been too long already.

So in the end, when I couldn’t wait anymore, I mindlinked Laira and asked her to bring Lucy to my office. It didn’t take long before a knock came, and I let her in.

Lucy stepped in and walked towards the center, her eyes roaming around my office, and I was wondering if she liked it or if she thought the room was boring. I suddenly wished I had more color than black and brown.

Lucy stopped in the middle of my office, right in front of my big desk, while I sat o n my chair, elbow propped on the armrest with my head resting on my knuckles.

“Stop staring, Alpha,” she said, biting her inner cheek, which made her look innocent, which I knew she was far from.

“Why? Last time I checked, I had the right to look at anyone I wanted to look at.

“You’re making me melt…” She said it in an almost inaudible voice, but I heard it. And she caught me off guard, making me almost choke on my own words.

Was she being honest, or was she just playing me? I ignored her because I had no idea how to answer that, so instead, I started another topic. “I want to induct you into my pack?”

‘Induct? What do you mean?” Her eyes were rounded, so I was sure she knew what I meant by it.

“Swear allegiance and loyalty to my pack. I’ll take you into my pack” But the fucking truth was, I wanted to be able to mindlink her, so I didn’t need to go around people just to find her.

“I don’t know how. I never had a pack.”

I stood up from my chair and opened my drawer, taking the ceremonial dagger before moving to the other side of the table. I anchored my ass on my desk, and crossed my arms across my chest before looking at her.

“Will you draw blood from me?” Her eyes were focused on the dagger in my hand.

“I need our blood to mix in your body.”

She gulped. And I could tell she was beginning to feel uneasy.

“Will you not be comfortable if I cut you? It’ll be just a little cut in your palm.” She looked pale, but it was nothing new. Some Omegas were not tolerant of pain, especially before they got their wolves.

“Or you can drink directly from me.”

Her eyes snapped up and met my gaze. “I think I could take that offer.”

I shrugged my shoulders and motioned with my hand for her to come closer. I was trying to act as if it was a natural thing, but in reality, the thought of her drinking my blood was arousing me.

“Repeat after me.” I took her hand and laid it out in front of me. My finger began to run circles on her palm. This was not part of the ceremony, but I just wanted to hold her.

“I.. state your full name,” I began.

“I, Lucija Valerie Foster…”

She has a beautiful name.

“Pledge my allegiance and loyalty to

Alpha Adan Stone Robinson as my Alpha…

“Pledge my allegiance and loyalty…” she paused, before she tilted her head up and her eyes locked with mine. “…to Alpha Adan Stone Robinson as my Alpha.”

I saw a smile curled on her lips, and I fucking thought the lights shined on her like she was the only thing I could see. I totally blacked out and just found myself swiping my tongue over my lips as my eyes darted to her plump lips.

“…and to Mystic Pack as my pack,” she continued even without my words. And that was enough.

I closed my eyes for a second to break the trance I was in before I started my spiel. I, Alpha Adan Stone Robinson of the Mystic Pack, accept you, Lucija Valerie Foster, as part of my pack from this day forward.” I straightened up from my position and bit my wrist before extending it to her.

Lucy swallowed as her eyes sparkled before she sank her teeth into my wrist and began sucking blood, slowly at first before it became aggressive as her hold of n my arm tightened.

It should have been just a few seconds, just a drop of blood to mix with hers, but she had been drinking for quite some time now. Not that it bothered me, but she seemed to enjoy it a little too much.

And then I realized I didn’t feel any bond connecting with mine or with the pack despite the fact that she was drinking too much blood already.

‘Lucy…’ I tried to mindlink her, although
