The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 555
I was surprised to see all of them there.
I could understand their reaction. This was unusual behaviour for me.
I rarely called gatherings and had just returned from the north after staying longer than usual.
They were bound to be eager and maybe worried a bit.
People greeted me as I moved through the crowd holding Amelia.
We moved through them until we climbed on the stage, and Casper motioned them to be silent.
"Mountain," I started, and the people greeted me.
"I want to thank you all for your support through the darkest moments of my life. You all have been kind and awesome," I said, and they cheered, happy for my gratitude towards them.
"This pack has been incomplete for two years now. Queen Tamia cared for your needs and ensured everything went smoothly when she was our Luna. You all know what happened, and suddenly this pack was without a luna.
We all know an alpha isn't complete without his Luna; a pack isn't a family without the Luna holding us together." I said and looked at all of them, then took a deep breath to speak my truth.
"I never thought we would ever be complete again. I thought we would run without my other half because I was broken, and nothing could fix me.
I never thought love would favour me a gain, and I never thought I would be able to move on from the past," I said and sighed when I held Amelia's hands.
"Fate had broken me once, but it fixed me again. It sent a second chance to me in the form of a beautiful moonlight goddess.
Initially stubborn, I did not accept it, but I have now.
Knowing and being with her opened my eyes and helped me heal from the inside out.
I have accepted my second chance mate as my mate and luna, and I am introducing her to you as your Luna, Mountain.
Respect and cherish her.
Accept and love her.
Do not betray her as you did Tamia.
Always look out for her like you do me because she is my better half, my life, and the woman I have chosen to spend the rest of my life with," I said, speaking from the depths of my heart, and the people began to murmur.
They did not see this coming, which was understandable, but this was now the reality of Mountain, and they will have to accept it.
Slowly I saw acceptance in their eyes, and they began to cheer Amelia on. I guess my initial words must have shocked them because they did not know Amelia and I were fated.
I could see the genuine joy in their eyes.
I thought introducing Amelia to them as their luna would be hard because of the scornful looks, gossip and resentment, but what I witnessed was different.
Amelia held on to my hand tightly, and I squeezed her and linked her that it was fine.
I could feel her nervousness and the fact that she was feeling overwhelmed.
I knew she would get used to it.
I lifted her hair to show her mark as tradition required.
They cheered then I took off my shirt to show mine so they would know the deal had been sealed.
They cheered, too, and began to praise Amelia and me. I pulled her close to me and kissed her before everyone.
Then once again sank my teeth into her mark to show complete ownership and devotion; I felt her body shake, so I carried her bridal style down the stage and through the crowd back to our house.
On my way back with Amelia in my hands, I heard Casper's voice in my head, which sounded urgent.
"Leo, Kyle is on his way here," he said, and I grumbled. He was the last person I wanted to see or hear from. I knew he was coming to ruin the moment for me. He always did that.
"What is it, Leo?" Amelia asked with her still in my arms, and I smiled because I knew we were connected now, and she could feel my emotions.
"Kyle is on his way here," I answered her, and just like my mood, her face dropped. I was about to speak when Casper linked me again.
"It is serious, Alpha; his pack has been taken over," He said, and I stopped in my tracks.
Amelia gently let herself down from my arms. I honestly did not see that coming.
