-Crimson P.O.V.-
I turn in my mates embrace and smile up at him causing him to look down at me. “You just couldn’t help yourself, could you?”
Ambrose snorts. “I was about to rip his head off. I told Seth..”
I cut him off by raising my finger up and placing it on his lips. “I told Seth not to walk with me. I can handle myself, you know?” I say to him as I lower my hand and place it on his chest.
“I know you can, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to protect you as you are my mate. You already know how Alphas are with their mates so you should get ready for more of this.” Ambrose says with a smirk but I could hear the seriousness in his voice. I decided not to push him.
“Okay, Okay. I will let you do what you need to so you can feel better about me when I am not in your presence.” This causes him to smile brightly.
He leans down and kisses the side of my cheek before whispering in my ear. “Thank you.”
He pulls back just when the worker comes back with my drink. I turn and smile at her as I take it out of her hand before Ambrose escorts me back to our table. We sit down and of course, he wraps an arm around my shoulders which causes me to smile. Ambrose and I just sit there while everyone else just talks amongst each other. I must say this is the first time in my life that I have ever felt true peace. Soon everyone dies down with their talking as Luke picks up a microphone and bangs on it causing everyone to look over at him.
“Hello everyone! As many of you know this event is to celebrate me being brought back to life, but I felt as if this event is not complete without the person who saved my life..” Soon my smile dies down when Luke decides to surprise me with a surprise I didn’t ask for. I swear… He turns to look over where I am and soon a spotlight is on me. “Crimson, come up here please!”
I bring back my smile as I slowly stand up but then I quickly lean down to kiss my mate on the cheek before making my way over to Luke. Once I am in front of him, I whisper. “Really?” He just smirks.
“Now when we used to have this event, Crimson was always busy with a previous thing as she is a very busy woman but thankfully this year! She was able to come.” Shouts and claps soon echoed throughout the land as both packs were cheering. It went on for about a minute before Luke raised his hand causing everyone to calm down. “Not many know this, but Crimson risked her life to save mine. I owe her my life as I would not be here today if it wasn’t for her sacrifice then this pack would have lost an alpha, my mate would have gone through the pain of losing me, and finally, I would not have my beautiful children.” He then turns to me. “Thank you for saving my life that day, Crimson. I will never not say thank you to you as you almost gave up your life for me. Thank you.” He then pulled me into a hug as the pack went wild again. I soon felt another pair of hands coming around Luke and I, who happens to be his wife and then my godchildren came to join the hug.
After about 2 minutes, we all break apart as I keep my hands on Luke's arms. “Thank you for this, but it was not needed. I did what was right.”
“Oh cut the bullsh*t.” Lisa soon cuts in and I turn to look at her. “You didn’t have to do anything. You could have left my son to die as you already got paid but you didn’t. You deserve this and more.”
I just smile before walking over to her and pulling her into a hug. But soon break the hug when I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn to see Luke’s mate standing there with a smile and I quickly hug her.
“I know you think that what you did doesn’t need to be celebrated, but you are wrong. You saved my mates life and don’t pretend that you were just doing “your job” as I know that you made Tom give Luke the last of your potions to bring him back to life. You could've died, but in that moment you choose to save Luke. I cannot thank you enough.” She whispers out but I could hear the tremble in her voice.
I pull back from the hug and wipe away her tears. “Cut it out. He is here with you and that is all that matters.” I whisper. Luke then walks up and hugs his wife to his side while smiling at me.
I turn around and find Roger waiting for me to hug him. I chuckle as I walk into his embrace with a smile. This then leads me into hugging some of the pack members as they thanked me for saving their Alpha. But once some unmated males started to come up, I felt my mate's arms go around my waist. I lean into his embrace causing the pack members to walk off as the music cuts back on. I let Ambrose lead me back to our table with his arm around my shoulders.
We sit down and I scowl at my brother, Jake. He looks at me with wide-eyes which means that he knew this was going to happen. “You knew.”
He sighs. “I am sorry, okay! You wouldn’t have come!”
He is right. I would not have come if I knew they were going to honor me like this. I have told them time and time again that what I did does not warrant any of this or the constant thanking me. BUT nooo, they never listen.
“Don’t worry, I am not mad, brother.” I say after I calm down from chuckling.
2 hours later…
I was ready to leave the party so Ambrose walked me out to the front of the packhouse where no one was. I was standing with my front against his as he had his arms wrapped around me.
“Are you sure?” He asks me for the 5th time.
I roll my eyes. “Don’t worry, I will come and visit you tomorrow. You just have to endure one night, Alpha.”
This causes his eyes to change to pitch black as I could feel his lu*t for me coming off of him in waves making me cream in my underwear.
“Call me that again and I will not hesitate to throw you over my shoulder and take you to my home.” He growls out causing me to cream even more.
“Don’t tempt me, Alpha.” I whisper.
“F**k.” He groans out before he slams his lips to mine and I moan out from the feeling. Sparks shoot all through my body from his lips moving against mine. He then uses his grip on my waist to lift me up a bit so he has better access to my mouth causing my feet to dangle. I don’t care as I open up my mouth for him to take and he doesn’t waste any time as he shoves his tongue into my mouth. I rolled my tongue with his and just when I was about to moan...my brothers ruined it.
“OH SH*T. I am so sorry, sis.” I hear Mack shout out in horror as Tom is just laughing. Brothers, I swear.
