The Wolf King's Luna novel Chapter 45

DAMON

"Sorry to interrupt but the Alphas are here."

Finally.

"Where are they now?" I ask my mother.

"Ryder signaled that they had just driven through the east gates. They should arrive at the mansion in five minutes."

That is plenty enough time to get ourselves ready.

Turning to Cathy, I ask. "Are you ready for this?"

She stares at me in silence, her eyes somber, which is a far cry from how she was looking at me before.

"Cathy?" I call, moving closer to take hold of her hands. "Are you okay? Are you ready for this?"

"You want me there?" she asks quietly.

"Yes. As my mate and Luna. I could never hide you from the world. I wouldn't want to," I tell her.

"Okay then, let's do this," she says, a gleam of determination stealing into her eyes.

She pulls away to close the file before handing it to Mother.

"You got this Cat," Mother tells her to which she just responds with a smile.

I take her hand in mine and together, we head to the front of the mansion, arriving just in time to see the three-car convoy pulling up.

As if rehearsed, the driver's door of each of the jeeps open at the same time, and out steps three men who then walk to the rear door.

All in synchronization. 

"Did they plan that?" Cathy asks quietly from beside me.

"That seems unlikely, doesn't it? I mean they are all respected and serious Alphas, they wouldn't be that silly," I answer.

"Hmm, they are also -deep down-, boys. Your kind can be very silly when they want to be."

"That is true," I say before walking forward to greet the Alphas.

"Alpha Craig, Alpha Monroe, and Alpha Tobias, I and my Luna, welcome you to the Blackwater pack."

"Please," Alpha Craig says as he shakes my hand. "We are all equals here, there is no need for titles."

"Very well then. Call me Damon."

"Damon. Thank you for welcoming us into your home, " Craig says.

"Please, I should be thanking you for believing me and coming all the way here to help me."

"The pleasure is all ours."

"Come," I say as I lead them up the stairs. "Let me introduce you to my mate. Catherine Thames."

"It is an honor to receive such esteemed guests into our pack," Cathy says.

"It is an honor to be received by such prominent individuals," Monroe says with a respectful nod.

"I heard you had found your mate," Tobias says. "Congratulations. It is a wonderful thing when we find our destined one."

"Thank you," I tell them.

"But I wasn't aware that the ceremony had been held," he continues.

"It hasn't. I had just recently found Cathy, and unfortunately, things have gotten a bit hectic since then."

"Please, come in," Cathy says before anyone can respond to that. 

We lead them to the living room where only my mother and The Falcon are present.
