Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 144

******Erika's POV******

After the decisions had been made, the mating ceremony was finally set to happen in two days' time.

The girls and I decided to visit the clothing store from before to shop for an outfit for the ceremony.

We walked into the store and as usual, the manager was all over us.

He took us around the store, showing us a different array of dresses and shoes.

We ended up picking out so many dresses and shoes at the end.

We left the store and again, visited the eatery because of Paula.

After having the entire dishes in the shop, we left for the packhouse again.

Paula kept whining about her stomach being too big for her to carry. She said her dresses weren't fitting anymore and she couldn't go out all the time because of it.

"Let's visit the Thunderclaw pack." Paula also suggested and I complied.

The driver drove us directly to the Thunderclaw pack which was an hour drive away from the Ironclaw Pack.

We arrived there in no time and we all got down from the car. The premises was one of a kind, similar to that of the Moon forest pack.

We walked into the living room to see Jace looking so exhausted as he sat on the couch.

"Jace!" I was first to call out to him and he opened his eyes to look at us, flashing us a grin.

"Ahh, you decided to visit my pack today." He chuckled.

I rolled my eyes and sat beside him, making myself comfortable.

"Yes, I visited today, just because I want to invite you to my mating Ceremony in two days." At those words, Jace opened his eyes again to look at me.

"You're finally getting mated." He laughed and I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, Father abolished the contract." I said with a smile.

"Good for you."

I stared at him and frowned.

"You look exhausted." I pointed out and he sighed.

"I am super exhausted and I want to give up this Alpha role already."

At those words, I bursted out laughing. I laughed so hard that my stomach began to hurt.

He hadn't even begun and he was already tired?

"You're so impossible." I laughed, wiping the lone tear that fell from my eye.

"You just took up the duty and you're already tired?" I chuckled and he rolled his eyes.

"I'm exhausted, for real."

I sighed, leaning into the seat to rest for a while.

"So…. It's Alexander?" He asked after a while.

The girls had gone upstairs to Kat's bedroom while staying by to converse with my fellow Alpha.

"Of course, who else?" I smiled.

"For a moment there, I thought you were going to end up with Noir instead." He said, turning to look at me.
