OLIVIA
We started walking, following the Alpha as he walked towards his office. I tried, I really tried to stop my eyes to be checking him out, but oh my goodness, he is handsome. And I strangely feel so drawn to him. I watch his back as he walks in front of us, and I can see how all his muscles are moving as he walks.
As soon as we walk inside an office that must be his, he walks through another door, and when he comes back, he is now wearing a tight-fitted white T-shirt. He might be dressed now, but you can still see how strong and amazing he is.
“I apologize for my appearance. You got here faster than I expected, so I didn’t get to change. Welcome to the Blood Moon. I am Alpha Logan.” Alpha says.
“You don’t have to apologize, Alpha. This is your pack and your home, and we are all wolves and have seen our share of half or fully-naked wolves.” Dad says with his head bent, so he won't notice the quick flash of anger or displeasure that came and left his eyes so fast I am not even sure I saw it.
“Michael and Nina explained to some extent why you wished to make this sudden move from your pack to here.” He said, looking at dad.
“Yes, Alpha, I gave my permission too. If you don’t mind, I do not want to discuss this now.” Dad says fast but still respectfully, and Alpha Logan crocks an eyebrow.
“And why is that? I get that this is not an easy subject, but I feel there is more behind it.” He says, looking at dad.
“I… We… have not talked a lot about it.” Dad says, avoiding my eyes.
“Do you mean to tell me that you have moved your family without telling the real reason, more so to your daughter?” Alpha asks in a hard tone, and dad gulps.
“No, She knows now, but it’s still raw, and we have not talked about it yet. I wanted to have her here safely before fully talking about it.” Dad says, still looking at the floor.
“Mr. Moore, Klaus. Your daughter needs to know. You might have left there, and while I would, without hesitation, protect her, she needs to know why.” Alpha says before he looks at me. Dad nods his head, and then he looks at me and leads me to sit down next to him on the couch. Matt sits down in a chair while Alpha Logan and Beta Luca remain standing.
“Olivia, muffin. Your Brother and I have the last six months or so, noticed how Alpha Colton has begun to show an intense form of interest in you. We kept an eye on this and saw how he always seemed to know where you were.” Dad says, looking at me, and I nod my head.
“About two months ago, Alpha called me to his office. He offered me the position of the head warrior, but he wanted something in return.” He says, panic showing on his face.
“What?” I ask to whisper, feeling as if I know I won’t like the answer.
“He wanted you. To make you his chosen mate. Without giving you a choice.” Matt says for dad.
“What! You can’t be serious.” I say, looking at them. No one says anything, and that tells me they are dead serious.
“But… why and why would he think I would accept.” I feel as if I know the answer, and when dad says the words, I feel like I can’t breathe.
“He would not have given you a chance to reject.” Dad almost whispered.
“No,” I say, standing up.
“No,” I say again, feeling a panic I have not felt since the day I saw mom and Luna fight against rouges and die. Dad stands, but I move away backward, not realizing I have moved closer to Alpha Logan.
“No. Realizing how wrong my life could have turned out.” I whisper, barely hearable, and my legs give up and send me tumbling towards the floor. But I never got to the floor because Alpha Logan had grabbed me before I did. The second I felt his touch, my mind and body relaxed.
I, Alpha Logan King of the Blood Moon Pack, invite you, Klaus Moore, and your children, Matt Moore and Olivia Moore. To stay and become packmembers of the Blood Moon Pack to live here in peace, Do you Accept me as your alpha, and my pack as your pack.“ Alpha Logan says, looking at us.
“I, Klaus Moore, accept the invitation from Alpha Logan to become a packmember of the Blood Moon Pack. I promise to live by your and your pack's rules. To fight for and protect our new home.” Dad said proudly, and he and Alpha Logan cut their palms and linked their hands for a few seconds. When it was over, dad looked intensely at Alpha Logan as if trying to figure something out. But Alpha Logan is already looking at Matt.
“I, Matt Moore, accept the invitation from Alpha Logan to become a packmember of the Blood Moon Pack. I promise to live by your and your pack's rules. To protect and guide anyone who needs it. And proudly call the Blood Moon Pack my home.” Matt says before he and Alpha Logan link hands. Matt shook a little, and for a second, I thought he would fall to his knees. Alpha Logan then turned to me, and I felt drawn as I looked into his eyes again.
“I, Olivia Moore, accept the invitation from Alpha Logan to become a packmember of the Blood Moon Pack. I promise to live by your and your pack's rules. I promise to protect and aid any packmember who needs it. And proudly stand as a packmember of the Blood Moon Pack.” I Manage to get the words out while my eyes are locked on Alpha Logan, making me feel like I am being sucked into them.
“This will only hurt for a second.” He says softly as he gently takes my hand and runs the blade across my palm. But I am too busy focusing on the barely noticeable tickling. I get where his hand holds mine. I gasp as he links our hands and a surge of a power stronger than anything I have ever experienced.
But it is not what made me gasp. The feeling of my entire body breaking out in tingles. I felt my legs give up, but I did not fall to the floor for some reason. When I come back to my senses, I realize it is because Alpha Logan holds me up with his free arm around my waist.
We both realized that my dad, brother, and Beta Luca, were looking at us. Alpha Logan clears his throat and looks at me one last time.
“I apologize. I know the power coming from me is stronger than many other Alphas. But I Want you all to know that you do not have to fear me. I will never hurt anyone without reason.” He says as he looks at us with sincerity in his eyes.
“We are happy to be here, Alpha, and to serve under someone as powerful as you,” Dad says and bows his head.
“Thank you. Beta shows the Moore family their new home and makes sure they are given any important information.” Alpha says, and Beta hurry to show us out, leading the way to our new home.
