Gabriel's POV
The wedding ceremony.
My new Beta, James, walked in to inform me of the prepared event,it was time for the groom to come out. Today was my wedding day. I was going to mark Irene as my Luna. She was a Delta's daughter making her the other right candidate for the position unlike my so-called mate who was an Omega. My wolf had been acting strange lately. He wanted to back out from our decision and wanted to get closer to Tasha.
But fortunately for me I heard Tasha fled the pack and I will make sure I punish her if she dares to come back.
“Everything is ready Sir.” James announced.
“Let's go.” I adjusted my tie properly before walking outside.
The pack members stood up in reference to me and bowed.I walked to the podium where the priestess was and waited for Irene. The door opened and Irene walked gracefully to where we were.
“Our Luna is beautiful.” James commented from behind me.
Unlike Luke, my former Beta who was always having issues with my decision,James will come in handy.
“Alpha.” Irene said timidly.
I took her hands and led her to where the priestess was,the priestess gave me a knife to start the mating tradition,I took the knife from her and turned to face Irene.
“Your hand.” She stretched her right palm towards me.
“It's going to hurt.” I was informed.
“It's nothing I can't handle.” She winked at me.
I nodded and slit her palm she winced in pain,I slit mine also then joined our palm together after making sure our blood had mixed. I moved towards the crook of her neck, released my fang and sucked Into her neck. She moaned softly and I withdrew from her.
“Long live the Alpha and the Luna!!” The crowd cheered.
“I don't think we've made the right decision.” My wolf said sadly but I ignored him.
“Congratulations Alpha.” One of the Alpha who came for my wedding greeted me.
We were now in the hall where the wedding party was being held,all the Alpha graced my occasion except one,the Alpha of the Storm Pack. And I'm glad he didn't come, he's a proud man and he thinks he owns this world.
“How's things in your pack?” I asked them.
“Very well Alpha,all thanks to your benevolence.” They cheered.
I chuckled at their comments,James came from behind me and whispered into my ear “There's someone in your office I couldn't see his face because he was putting on a mask,but he said his name is Noone.”
My eyes widened. “Please excuse me.” I walked away from the crowd,I ordered James to stay back and marched to my office.
“What the heck do think you are doing!” I shut the door of my office from behind me and turned to see Anyone sitting on my chair.
“I came for your wedding didn't I?” He gave a monstrous chuckle.
I marched to where he was and pulled him up by his collar before growling at him but he chuckled at my reaction.
“What!” He yelled. “You don't have a problem with the other Alpha visiting but you have a problem with me because I'm a rogue!!” I released my grip on him.
“It's just-”
“Forget it!” He cut me short. “I'm just here to tell you that the phase of our plans has begun.”
“The beginning of the end!!” He laughed evilly.

Irene's POV
The wedding ceremony
The news of Natasha's pregnancy almost got me mad,I had to plead with my mother not to tell the Alpha about it. I'm very sure the baby belongs to Gabriel. They must have gotten intimate that explains the look Gabriel has been giving. But thankfully Tasha is no longer in the picture and my plans to become Luna were successful.
“You look beautiful my dear.” My mother said after I was done with the makeup.
“Thank you mom.” I stood up and hugged her.
I just wish Tasha doesn't show up and ruin my plans or tell Gabriel about her pregnancy.
“It's time Luna.” One of the maidens came in to tell me.
“Mom.” I hugged her one more time before stepping out.
I got to the hall where the mating ceremony was being held,I was told Gabriel was in there already. The guards announced my presence and opened the door for me,I walked inside carefully,I looked around anxiously hoping and praying Natasha wasn't anywhere. I got to where Gabriel was and gave him a faint smile.
“Alpha.” I greeted.
He stretched his hands towards me. I then took it and he led me to where the priestess was standing. We were now backing the crowd,the priestess recited some words and then gave Gabriel the knife.
“Your hand.” Gabriel pointed to my right hand.
I stretched my palm to him and he took it in his huge hand.
“It's going to hurt.” He said softly.
“It's nothing that I can't handle.” I winked at him.
I knew it was going to hurt, since I was going to be bonded to the Alpha. Gabriel took my palm and slit it, winced in pain he slit his palm also and joined her palms together,I smiled happily as I felt our blood flowing together. Gabriel then moved to the crook of my neck where he was going to mark me.
This was the most painful part,he released his fangs and then bit my neck a moan escaped from my mouth and my face flushed in embarrassment. Within a couple of minutes I felt the electricity spark through my body,I could feel what Gabriel was feeling at the moment.
But it wasn't a feeling of happiness.
“Long live the Alpha and the Luna!!” The cheering of the crowd distracted me from my thoughts.
Gabriel took my hands and we turned to face the pack members who were beaming with joy.
Today,Irene, achieved my dream. I waved to the crowd happily.
“Irene there's one more thing you must do tonight.” My mom told me when we were at my wedding party.
“What's that mom?” I arched my eyebrows.
She moved closer to face me and whispered “Explicit sex.”
“What!” My mouth fell open.
“What do you mean by that mom?” I shook my head at her and took a glass of wine from the waiter.
“Do you think Alpha Gabriel marking you has sealed the deal?” She asked and I blinked trying to process her words.
Isn't that all there is?
She sighed and continued. “You have to have s*x with him tonight, make sure it's rough and make sure your blood mixes together on bed.” She explained.
“Will that make our bond complete?”
“Yes it will, give in to my advice and you will soon have the Alpha at your beck and call.” She supplied.
I nodded at her advice and thought of how I will warm Gabriel's bed tonight.I glanced to see him leaving the hall in a rush. I excused myself and ran after him.
I was about to open the door to his office but paused when I heard the sound of an argument.
“Forget it!I'm just here to tell you that the phase of our plans has beguni.” I heard a man's voice.
And he had the nerve to yell at an Alpha.I brought my ear closer to the door.
“The beginning of the end!!” The nab man released a monstrous laugh and I couldn't help but panic.
Who was he?
And what did he mean by the beginning of the end?
