The Human Girl Who Tamed Alpha King Chapter 64
ARIA
I am getting dressed after a good sleep following yesterday's unexpected visit from Laura Blackwater. Thank the Moon Goddess for that woman finally leaving! My blood still boils thinking about how she insulted Aurora. Nobody messes with my daughter. Nobody. At least Jace backed me up and sent her packing - as he should have. The nerve of that woman, showing up uninvited and then acting like she belonged here!
Today I will see the best warriors that want to join the Sacred Moonlight Gathering. Jace was up hours ago after receiving a message from the Beta of a smaller pack near us that was attacked by a big group of rogues. The Alpha family had all been killed. So Jace was busy having omegas prepare and getting ready to have about 200 wolves staying in our pack temporarily. Their beta was old and ready for retirement, and their future Alpha had been killed. So now their pack looked to be dying.
Jace had said that it most likely would mean for the wolves to try to go to packs where they had other family members. Or they might seek new homes in different packs. But no matter what their plans will be, for now, they need a safe place to be. Aurora was at her daycare with the other pups her age. And that gave me plenty of time to be with the warriors.
When I got to the field, 50 warriors were training and warming up. Because they now all know I am pregnant, I sit down for a little and look at what they are doing. Jace has some amazing fighters, that is for sure, and getting the best of the best is both easy but also difficult. Because they are all phenomenal, but on the good part, I have no doubt they will make us proud in the tournaments.
"Hello, everyone, would you be nice and stand in five lines, ten in each line," I ask them, and they immediately do as I ask. When they are all in position, they bow their heads and yell, "LUNA!"
I am surprised, but hide it. I begin telling them how I will find the three contestants I am supposed to find for the running and the battles. I let line after line run 3 rounds on the field, and the fastest in each group is going to compete against the four others. And they will run 10 rounds on the field to find the fastest but also the one with the most agility and stamina. After nearly 2 hours, I have our runner. A young wolf named Conner Hall.
Finding the two fighters took longer as it was done step by step, battle after battle, until I had the two wolves with the most wins. This took another four hours, but it was so worth it, and I had fun doing it. And I am sure the two warriors, Ethan Mitchell and Cal Mitchell will do us proud. On my way back to the packhouse, I see Jace coming towards me, followed by a huge group of wolves. Some in shifted form. But most of them are in human form.
I walk towards them and quickly notice how many of the she-wolves have their eyes on Jace. He stops the group and walks over to me when I reach them. He quickly kisses me before turning back to look at the visitors.
"Everyone, this is my mate Aria and the Luna of Moon Shadow Pack. Usually, we would have bid you welcome together, but Aria had some other important business to take care of today," Jace tells everyone, and I see how the unmated women look at me or look down.
"Hello everyone, and welcome to the Moon Shadow Pack. Housing has been put in order to make you all comfortable. And you can either choose to eat in the houses or come to the dining hall in the packhouse, where breakfast will be available from 6 to 8:30 and dinner is from 5 to 8:30. And throughout the day there are snacks and various sandwiches and other nice food that you can go in and enjoy," I say, smiling warmly to everyone.
"I know everyone must be tired, so I will have some warriors show you to the houses and help you settle in. And I will make a small announcement tomorrow," Jace says, and an old wolf from the group thanks us before following our warriors.

Aria and I watch as the guests follow the ten warriors I had asked to help them settle in before we go inside the packhouse. We go and sit on the big lounge chair in the TV room that we have on the first floor.
"I found the three warriors for running and battles like you asked me to. A warrior named Conner Hall will be in the running game. And for battles, a more experienced warrior, Ethan Mitchell. And a younger one, Cal Mitchell. I actually think they were in a family with each other," Aria tells me, and I smile.
"It is a good choice. Conner was in the race last year. And yes, Ethan and Cal are uncle and nephew. But both are great fighters. You did well at choosing. Thank you," I tell her.
"It was fun. But I am hungry and tired now," she says as she tries to hide a yawn. I chuckle at her and stand up.
"Let's go feed our unborn son and then you can go upstairs and take a nap," I say and help her up to stand.
We walk into the dining hall, and the head chef, Tyler, comes in. He smiles big when he sees us and comes over to our table.
"Alpha, Luna. Is there anything you would like?" he asks.
"Hey, Tyler, you don't happen to have some of those amazing pizzas you make?" Aria asks him.
"I am afraid not, Luna, but I can have one ready in thirty minutes. What would you like to have on it, Luna?" he answered, offering to make one for her.
"If it is not too much to ask. Then I would love one with pepperoni, peppers, mushrooms, and garlic," she asks as her stomach growls, making us laugh.
"I will go make that for you right away, Luna. And in the future, you can mindlink me, and I will make you anything you want," he says, smiling as he goes to the kitchen.
"That is so nice of him to go make it. Everyone, for the most part, has been so sweet," she says and smiles.
"Despite the pain of losing a Luna when Vanessa left, they are happy to have a Luna again," I say and kiss her softly.
While we wait for Aria's pizza, Aurora comes running in and comes over to us. She tells us about her day and shows us a drawing she wants to put into the nursery for her little brother. After twenty-five minutes, Tyler comes out with a big pizza that is cut into slices that we can bring upstairs. So we go upstairs and eat a late lunch together as a family before Aria talks Aurora into taking a nap. And I go down to my office to finish up some work, and I cannot help but think about how lucky I am.
