The Alpha's Unclaimed Mate novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438: You Know Exactly What

She had no words.

The grin on his face confirmed he knew exactly WHAT and that he had orchestrated every goddamn detail of this evening.

Finnick Shadowclaw was a gorgeous, scheming menace, and she was wearing his colors while he sat there looking pleased with himself.

She had no one to blame but herself. She walked straight into the trap and even thanked it on the way in.

The music stopped and conversations began to fade.

"His Majesty, Finnick Shadowclaw, Alpha King of North Skardos and the Kingdom of Shadowclaw," a herald announced loudly.

Hundreds of wolves turned their attention to the staircase with the unified focus of a pack whose Alpha had arrived.

"Her Royal Highness, Serena Drakenfell, Crown Princess of Drakenfell."

The herald used her married name, which was formal recognition that the pack was acknowledging who she was and where she came from.

Every person in the hall bowed.

The bowing was simultaneous, comprehensive, four hundred bodies lowering in unison with the practiced coordination of wolves who understood ceremony and executed it without hesitation.

Aurelia: They’re bowing to us.

Serena: They are bowing to our mate.

Aurelia: I want to do this every day. Can we do this every day?

Serena: No.

Aurelia: Twice a week.

Fin let go of her and stepped forward to address the pack.

The crowd straightened and stood. Every face was looking up at him.

Serena remained by the back. Aeron was beside her. Onyx was surveying the hall from Aeron’s arms with his chin raised and an expression that said, I am the best-dressed in the room.

On her other side were Shadowclaw’s Beta and Gamma. Only now did it fully register. She was standing in their inner circle and nobody had blinked.

She hadn’t done anything to earn it. Well, outside of one time she saved their lives when Dark Fae attacked the war summit. But that was just the warriors and she did not remember most of it so it felt like cheating.

Aurelia: You are spiraling.

Serena: I am not.

Aurelia: Mate keeps us close. That is how packs work.

Serena: I am aware, thank you.

Aurelia: Then why are you surprised?

Serena: Because this is the first time it has happened with an audience of this size.

Aurelia: Are you zoning out during mate’s speech?

Serena: I’m reading the room.
