So dangerous
"I know that she is your mate but why did her in the competition." Carlo. stated factitiously. The silence confirmed what she said.
Instead of apologizing or anything, she glared even more at me. She had just realized the competition between us and I could see that she wouldn't be backing down any time soon.
"Don't expect me to go easy on her, Alpha." She said, looking at me from head to toe until she turned around and left the room.
There was silence in the room after the she left.
"Well, that went well." I whispered.
"Could've turned worse if we didn't come sooner. Carlo is usually like that." Albert said, sounding like he was trying to comfort him. I nodded, sure she wasn't. I knew it too.
Bane turned to me and observed me. Using his hand, he lifted my chin and looked at my neck to see for any marks of hurt or bruises.
"She didn't hurt you, did she?" lan held back his anger, I could feel it. I shook my head lightly. "I'm sorry about Sierra."
"It's okay." I said lowly. I understood how she felt, I almost wanted to say.
lan looked at the clock and sighed. "Andrea and Lauren are on their way and will help you to prepare for tonight. They will tell you everything you need and how things will turn out."
Alec shot me a playful smirk and winked. "I could feel how nervous you are, don't be. You got this." he almost wanted to say.
Bane looked at the clock and sighed. " I have a meeting right now",
Alec shot me a playful smirk and winked. "I could feel how nervous you are, don't be. You got this." he comforted and for a short while, it worked. But then the guy had the nerve to open his mouth again. "But just sayin, the whole pack will be there." he said, surely to annoy me.
My nervousness-meter just racked up the scale again and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him.
lan, watching the exchanged let out a small chuckle. "You'll be fine." he said like spell.
And that my dears, made me feel like I was going to be fine.
The atmosphere was heavy, the pack was getting weary with the announcement that the Alpha was going to make. What emergency could there possibly be for him to call all of the pack so abruptly.
lan and I were behind the stage as Alec and Elliot, the Gamma whom I haven't officially met walked to the podium and the last guys fixing stage scrammed away. My heart hammered against my chest, my stomach churning at the unpleasant idea of speaking in a crowd who would almost probably reject me.
As Alec stood in place, the pack shushes and he started to speak. "Gratissimum, Panselinos. We know that it was on short notice and we want to thank you all for coming." he started. With each word he said, I could feel my heart literally jumping out of my chest.
I looked beside me where lan stood, his eyes glued on Alec, but when he felt my eyes on him, he turned to me. He knew I was nervous, I could see he was too despite the fact that he tried to hide it. Lately, I was able to read his emotions better.
I tried to smile and slowly brought my hand to hold his. He seemed to be surprised that I took the first initiative with skinship. As our hands laced together, he brought it up kissing the back of my hand.
Sparks erupted in the best way possibly, the tingling sensation starting at the back of my hands and making its way everywhere, calming me down, relieving the stress away and giving me a glimmer of hope.
I knew it. The comfort he made me feel was dangerous.
"Let us now call upon our Alpha." Alec announced and looked towards us. I didn't want to let go, but we had to. Before letting go, lan looked at me and smiled encouragingly.
Alec and Elliot stepped back and stood behind lan as he now took place on stage.
I saw Elliot's questioning gaze remain longer on me as he looked to Alec who shrugged at him lightly.
"Alpha." the whole pack chorused in recognition and reverence of their leader. Nodding his head, lan started to speak.
"Thank you all for making it tonight. As you all know, for our pack to remain strong, the positions in leadership must be complete. We have Elliot Benjamin, our Gamma." lan motioned to the third-in-command. "Our Beta, Alec Dean." he did the same towards Alec. "There is the Alpha, me. We need these three people to keep our pack strong and keep things in order. However, there is one position that's just as important. The place of a Luna." lan explained. The crowd started to murmur, whispering their own theories of what the next news was going to be.
I started to pace back and forth once again. He was going to call me soon.
"The Luna is almost always the Alpha's mate, if the Alpha failed to find his mate, a Delta was to assume the position. Of course, you know our Delta, Sierra Northon." lan said. My heart squeezed for a second, but I killed that feeling immediately. I couldn't let my low self-esteem kill me now. "However, tonight, you're about to meet my mate, your Luna natura at the moment." the crowd erupted in small chatters.
My stomach churned, turning this way and that. I felt sick.
lan cleared his throat and the noises died down immediately, attention all back to the Alpha.
lan looked towards me and nodded, a sign that I was to walk on stage now. I nodded in response, breathing in and out.
'To dare is to do, Chári.' my wolf said inside my head.
To dare is to do.
I have longed for change, and it was at the grasp of my hands. I couldn't possibly just let it go now. I refuse to.
My feet moved heavily towards the stage. I kept my eyes on lan, he smiled at me encouragingly as if telling me that I was doing fine. He reached his hand out and I reached for it as I took a step up the podium and stood beside him.
Beside him, I felt safe, but when I moved my eyes in front where the whole pack gathered, I was reminded at the how many wolves this pack contained.
They all stared at me, others looked in confusion, others in worry and others were weary. They observed every part of me, the way I moved, trying to decide if I fit to be their leader or not.
"I present to you, Hannah Davis. My mate and your Luna natura at the moment." lan said as he looked at me. I
