Kora stared at Darren, she could not deny that she was surprised by what he had said. He was an Alpha’s son and an Alpha heir, how was he an Omega? She asked herself but no words were spoken from her mouth.
"Say something, my love," Darren said. Her silence was making his beast warry and restless which was affecting him too. "Anything."
"How were you an Omega?" She asked, not averting her gaze from him. "Your father was an alpha, and you, his heir," she asked.
"My life was... Let’s just say that no one wanted me. Not even my father." He said and for a fleeting moment, he seemed dazed. "Especially my father."
"I heard you didn’t stay in the pack after they died," Kora said and he looked at her. He knew his story had gone far wide, spreading among the creature that falls under the supernatural but he was curious to know what she heard about him and at the same time he was scared of what her reaction would be if they were to confirm to be true. "Did the pack kick you out?" She asked.
"I left." He said. He didn’t know how he was going to tell the rest of it. For a moment fear got to him. His hands that were still around her frame tightened at the thought that she would think and see him as a monster the same way everyone else did.
"Why?" Kora asked. She could feel how tense he was talking about it, but she wanted to know. She wouldn’t know if she never asks and he does not speak. "What was it you said you will tell me when once we get here?" She changed the question. She could tell that they were related.
"Promise me you won’t leave me," Darren felt vulnerable at the moment. He knew he had to tell her but he did not know if it was the right time yet. Or what she would do when he tells her that he left because he was the one who had killed his parents, especially his mother. He was already haunted by the image of his mother’s disappointed expression being she died he didn’t want to add Kora’s face to the list. "Promise me that you won’t think differently of me and be afraid of me. Promise me that you won’t fear me." He said pleasingly to her.
"I won’t, I promise," Kira said and she stroke his back gently. "We can talk about this late if you need some more time." She suggested.
Darren didn’t speak but he remained in her embrace, holding tight with his head on her shoulder.
The evening hours came quickly with everyone gathered I’m the pack house awaiting the Alpha to make his presence. They were busy discussing among themselves with those who had seen Kora and Emily talking and telling the others about what they were still unsure of and did know who they were.
Inside the Alpha mansion, Kora descended the stairs and found Ezra stepping out of the guest’s room. He was neatly dressed and ready for that night.
"Are you ready?" Ezra said Kora, seeing as she was he could tell she was but he still asked her anyway.
"What do you think?" Kora asked with an eye roll.
Ezra smirked. "Will you miss me?" He asked out of the blue. Koranarrowed her eyes at him and he smiled even brighter. "You are going to miss, won’t you?"
"You are delusional." Replies Kora and walked past him. She spotted Emily coming in through the door and went to meet her. While Ezra followed her. "Why are you following me?" Kora asked getting annoyed at him.
"I just want to spend some quality time with you before I leave in the morning, is that too much to ask?" Ezra asked, feigning hurt.
"Yes, it is a lot to ask," Kora said and turned her back to him while looking at Emily who was smiling at them.
"If it helps, I will miss you, gamma Ezra," Emily said and making Kora roll her eyes again.
"See? Someone will miss me unlike you." Ezra said with humph and folded his has across his chest.
"Levi says everyone is ready and we should get ready too," Emily said to Kora. She looked at her from head to toe and she dressed very simply in a dark blue knee-length dress with a belt around her stomach, her hair was packed into a ponytail. She had on a pair of silver earrings and black wedges on her feet. She had light makeup on and a simple lip gloss adorned her lips. "I thought I would see you in a pair of jeans and a blouse and not in a dress," Emily commented. Ezra laughed and Kora glared at them both.
"Who wears pans to their ceremony?" Lucinda said. She over to where they stood and stopped. "I made her wear the dress. I just wish someone had told me earlier how hard it would be to get her to wear a dress." Lucinda said brushing off the invisible sweat on her forehead.
"I know right? It is so hard. Whenever we want her in a dress we prepare for it beforehand as if we are preparing for war." Emily exaggerated her words leaving Kora speechless.
It was their fault for wanting something Tha she did not like. Kora said in her mind.
"I am Emily," Emily said stretching her hand to Lucinda. She knew who Lucinda was but she doubted the woman know her.
Lucinda shook her hand. "I have heard of you from Logan, you are Levi’s mate," Lucinda said and smiled at the girl. "It is nice to meet you. And even more to have more girls around here."
"You make it sounfnitbus bad to have boys around." A woman’s voice came into their hearing. They turned and found a blonde woman walking out of the kitchen with a tray of appetizers in her hands. "They wouldn’t be happy hearing what you have said."
" Does it matter whether they are happy about it or not, Sophia?" Lucinda asked. The blonde woman was Sophia, the mate of Leo who had come to help in the mansion. "I am Sophia, Leo’s mate." She introduced herself. "I am glad to meet our Luna and Gamma lady."
Kora gave her a nod while Emiky went ahead to hug her. "It is a pleasure to meet you too," Emily said with a bright smile on her lips.
"Since I have been forgotten, I will take my leave," Ezra said starting to walk out of the living room. The women gave him an awkward smile and nodded their heads at him as he walked away. "See you all at the Packhouse."
"We should go too, we don’t want to be late," Lucinda said. They started to walk in the direction of the pack house.
"Where is Lucu?" Sophia asked as they walked.
"She will be waiting for us in the pack house, there was still something that needed to be taken care of and she had gone to handle them," Lucinda replied to Sophia.
"I see," Sophia said. They stopped walking won’t they saw a car coming their way inside where the driver’s seat was, was seated they saw Mateo." What brings you back, Beta?" Social asked.
"I am here to pick up the Luna," Mateo said, stepping out of the car, he bowed his head to Kora. "This way, Luna." He said opening the door for her.
Kora got into the car, and Emily followed her in. Sophia says behind witty girls while Lucinda says besides the driver. The drive off to the pack house.
It was dark and the moon was shining down from the sky, the moon was full and shining brightly as if the goddess herself was looking down at them.
The packed house was brightly lit and decorations could be seen around its corners. The packed house was an old man that had a few of its parts renovated that made look like a perfect blend of modern style and a medieval style manor.
Kora and Emily who were seeing the pack house for the first looked at it in awe. The lack house in the Blood Moon pack was huge and of a modern style housing several rooms. Perfectly suiting the taste of their alpha. Seeing the pack house of the Shadow moon pack, gave a different feeling to them. They still did not fully know what Darren and his group of trusted companions were like even though they were their mates.
The car came to a stop in front of the pack house and Levi who was standing by Ybedoor waiting for them with Lucy came to the door where Kora was seated and opened the door for her. Kora stepped out and Emily followed closely behind her. After everyone was out of the car, they made their way inside the pack house with Kora in the middle.
