Luna's Second Chance Mate

Chapter 4

SAMANTHA

The weekend is here and the Pack house of the Sea Shore Pack is a beehive of activities. Today is the day of Collins' event but funny enough, he's nowhere to be seen.

Collins hasn't yet returned from the city but aunt Ashley told me that he said he will be arriving later in the day because the ceremony will take place in the evening.

She overheard him on the phone with the Luna his mother expressing his disappointment to her for organising another Mate searching event for him. He told his mother that he has several girlfriends and other beautiful damsels who are just waiting for him to choose among them and make one of them his Luna. He further claimed that he doesn't have to organise any mate seraching ceremony after being disappointed before.

However, his mother begged him just to attend this final event and incase he doesn't meet his mate, he will be allowed to select one from his many girlfriends and damsels as he calls them. This alone leaves me wondering how many girlfriends he has.

My aunt woke up very early in the morning and she left even before we took breakfast. Together with other female Pack leaders, she is busy helping the Luna in preparations while her husband the Beta is helping the Alpha together with other male Pack leaders.

Gary, Brianna, Calvin and I have just woken up and after taking our breakfast, we've joined the other youngsters in the Pack House to prepare the venue. Derrick, my aunt's elders son and the future Beta will also be arriving later today because he accompanied his mate Grace to her parents Pack for an official commitment. Derrick who is also twenty was lucky to meet his mate last year when he was nineteen and they got married immediately. Grace is the daughter of a Top Warrior from a Pack in the West.

The last time I saw Derrick was when I was ten while he was twelve and to be sincere, I really miss him. I don't know how he looks like right now but one thing is for sure, he misses me as well. I just hope Grace and I will get along really well.

The celebrations will take place in the Pack House hall therefore some of us are busy blowing balloons, others are making the decorations while others are arranging the chairs. In short, every one of us is busy doing something!

As we continue with the preparations, we are served lunch by the Pack House workers and after eating to our satisfaction, everyone of us is excused to go and prepare for the main event in their houses. Damsels and boys from all Packs of the werewolf kingdom start arriving one by one and I am eager to see if Tina and Vivian from the Red Moon Pack will be here. They have never missed any of Collins' events in the past though they swore never to attend this time round and I am curious to find out if they meant it!

My little cousin Brianna who is only twelve joins me in my room so as for us to prepare together while Calvin who's ten goes with Gary to get ready together. Though the three of them will be attending for fun, I'll be attending to see if I will meet my second chance mate there. Who knows, I might be lucky this time round and hopefully the person won't reject me!

I can't stop featuring myself in a white wedding dress as I walk down the isle the werewolf way with my auntie, brother and cousins all in attendance. I bet the whole pack house will attend as well even if my mate will be from a far away Pack. Shaking those thoughts out of my mind, I rubbish them off as mere daydreaming and continue with whatever I am doing. I don't want to be late for the much awaited event!

The other day when shopping with aunt Ashley, she bought me one specific dress and told me that it's the dress I'll be wearing for the event. It is a pink mermaid dress with a touch of cream and white laces around the neck. It's flowing all the way from above the knees to the ankles and I'll be forced to walk carefully not to tear or make it dirty.

After taking a shower, I help Brianna in dressing up and after making her hair, she leaves the room so that I can get ready as well.

I start by applying some make-up which my aunt bought me and though it's mild, I can attest to the fact that I look stunning. After doing my makeup, I comb my hair, holding half of it with a fancy hair band up there while I let the rest to flow to my shoulders in mighty curls.

After being satisfied with how I look, I pick my dress from the bed and slip it on though I get difficulties in zipping it up but I eventually do it all alone.

Wow! I look stunningly beautiful in the dress. It's an off shoulder one and since it's fitting, it outlines my curls perfectly and upon checking myself in the mirror, I am contented with what I see. I look breathtakingly gorgeous in it and if I happen to meet my mate today, I am sure I will impress him and he won't have any reason to reject me!

It's almost 5:00pm and I hear girls shouting and screaming in excitement out there. I peep through the bedroom window and I smile when I realise the reason behind their excitement. Collins is just arriving from his business trip. His entourage gets into the Pack House in style and since my bedroom window is facing the gate and the parking lot, I can see everything perfectly well.

After all the three cars get parked in the Pack House parking lot, I take a glimpse of a driver holding the door of a Bentley and a decently dressed man who is in all white steps down from the car.

I can remember him quite well and there's no doubt that the man is Collins Williams! He is holding a phone in each hand and two bodyguards stand each at his side. One of them is carrying his briefcase while the other one is dragging his suitcase.

Without sparing even a glance at the screaming damsels, he adjusts his white coat and takes a step towards the Pack house with his bodyguards walking beside him. How rude and arrogant of him!

He should have simply waved at them to acknowledge their presence instead of grabbing his coat in pride and walking away like they don't exist!
