The Wolf King's Luna novel Chapter 87

CATHERINE

Today was the day. Although it was a fake mating ceremony, I couldn’t help but feel nervous because one day it was going to be the real one.

Melissa and Faye were in the room with me while I was getting ready for it. “You look nervous. Is everything okay?” Faye asked me, and I smiled forcefully.

Melissa laughed and continued applying the makeup to me. “You look like you are about to take a dump. Stop forcing yourself to smile.” Melissa said, and they both ended up laughing while I tried to keep a straight face.

"So, how are you feeling right now?” Faye asked me, but I couldn’t even give her an answer. 

I knew that I was nervous yet happy, and at the same time, I felt like something bad was going to happen. 

I didn’t want to ruin their moods, so I didn’t tell them, of course.

“If only it were real. You guys could just do the real mating ceremony. Anyone who wants to fight should come. That’s how I love it.” Melissa said, and I laughed.

“You think it’s going to be that easy, huh?”

“It’s not, but then it’s better to do everything now. I can’t imagine doing it later. It’s going to be bloody.” She said to me, and a silver dagger just flashed in front of my eyes, and I gasped.

Faye noticed it and came to my side immediately with a worried look on her face. “Are you okay? You just looked like you were about to pass out.” She asked me, and that drew Melissa’s attention to me.

I didn’t even know how to explain it. I just felt like I had seen what was going to happen in the future. All I saw was a silver dagger and then heads on the floor.

“I don’t even know. I can’t explain it. I just don’t feel good.” I told them.

“Why didn’t you say so? Damon could have just postponed the ceremony.” Melissa complained, and my eyes widened.

“Postpone it? Powerful Alphas from different countries are here. That will be disrespectful, and it may increase Damon’s enemies.” I told her with a frown on my lips.

“He doesn’t care. You are his top priority right now. Do you think that he cares about what other people think or say about him?” She said.

“But I do. I don’t want to be a mate who causes distractions in her mate's life. Since I came, you all have just been moving from one problem to another. I hate it so much.” I told them, and Faye groaned.

“We can’t be sad right now. Today is a happy day. Just take it as a rehearsal for how your real mating ceremony is going to be.” She said it to me, and then they both hugged me.

“I feel better now. Thanks for the pep talk.” I told them, then laughed.

“You look really good. All you need right now is your dress.” Melissa gushed, and I tried so hard not to blush.

“Thank you,” I said to her in a shy manner.

I was trying to find my way around when I noticed some piercing eyes on me that made my hair rise from my skin.

I turned, and I saw Vance and Tammy looking straight at me. “They can’t do anything now. I am in my pack.” I said to myself,

“What if the pack abandons you?” My inner voice asked me, and I felt a hand wrapped around my waist.

“What are you thinking about so loudly?” Damon asked me as he came to me, and I frowned.

“Are you still mad at me?” He pouted, and I couldn’t just resist. I wanted to keep being mad at him, but he just looked so fucking good.

“Oh my gosh!” A high-pitched voice sounded, and I knew the owner before turning around. Mia appeared from the crowd and then came to me. I noticed how she didn’t go to Damon’s side like she would normally do.

“You look so good.” She said to me that she was about to adjust Damon’s tie when a growl left my lips.

“Don’t touch him!” I snapped at her.

“Jeez. Possessive much!”

Just before we were called for the priest to join us as one, I saw Vance stand up. “This mating ceremony can’t be held because Catherine Thames is my mate!” He shouted, and everyone started murmuring at the same time.
