The celebration
BANE'S POV
He came close. So fucking close. He could have done it.
It was like staring into a one way window. I was unable to stop it. I was only able to watch it all.
Watching her lay there, oblivious to his true intentions. Her body accepting it, unaware of the pain that she would be put through.
He could have changed her right then and there. He would have bitten her, sending in the venom to attack her, changing her body completely. Once its in her, there would be no turning back.
I need better control of this. I have allowed him too much freedom in this.
"COME IN!" I yelled to whomever was standing on the other side of my office door.
The door opened and Kiera and Aaron walked in.
"Are you okay dude?" Aaron looked at me worriedly. "Im fine." I tried to assure him.
He just stared at me, clearly not believing my response. I knew him for years so if anyone could read me like a open book, it was him. I just hope he didn't continue asking about it.
"Here. We have a letter from mom." Renee handed me a large thick envelope, clearly not just a letter to say 'hey'.
The thick envelope was a gold color, sealed with a waxed stamp of our families crest. I popped open the letter and read the Italian written print.
Request the honor of your presence at the ceremony welcoming our current Luna to the BlackWater Pack.
Please join us and our current Alpha Bane in welcoming his Luna Renee.
The ceremony will be on the twenty fifth, during the last full moon of the month, at seven in the evening.)
I stared at the invitation in complete disbelief. This was a damn joke right? I knew this was my mother's doing.
I thought we had resolved this issue when I had told her I did not want this for Renee. I believe it was to much for her. Her being around us was enough but over three hundred of our pack members and other allied packs was way to much.
"What is it?" Renee asked. I tossed her the invitation and picked up my phone and dialed my mother's number.
"Oh shit." Wide eyed, Renee looked over the letter.
"Hello Bane. I take it that you have received the invitation?" My mother answered the phone in her most motherly voice.
That shit didn't fool me.
"I thought we had discussed that I did NOT want this." I was struggling to hold back the fury.
"I know Bane. However we can not just break a common tradition. Besides, she needs to meet the entire pack that looks up to her as their Luna."
I clenched the phone, listening to the phone begin to crack under my tight grip.
"I just want to meet her and so does your father."
"Then why dont you and father come and meet her?" I said through gritted teeth.
"No. We will do it the traditional way and thats final." With those last words, she disconnected the line.
I growled out in frustration as the phone crumbled under my grip. I looked up, meeting the eyes of Keira and Aaron.
"So?" Renee questioned.
"I hope you have an elegant dress." I huffed as I tossed the crumbled up phone in to the garbage pale.
RENEE'S POV
I was so fucking heated at him for sending me off to training yesterday but its become so hard to stay mad at him for long.
I picked up his food and drink and walked up to his office to feed him lunch since he refused to come down. I kicked open the door and walked over to his desk.
He looked at me once I placed his food on his desk. Worried eyes and a tighten jaw greeted me.
"Are you okay?"
He extended his hand to me and I took it willingly. He pulled me over to him and placed me onto his lap. He dug his head into the curve of neck. His breath blew against my skin, forcing me to laugh from how it tickled.
"Whats wrong?"
"Nothing." I could read that damn lie. I turned to face him, placing both of my hands on each side of his face.
"WHATS.WRONG?"
He sighed in defeat, giving up on his attempts to fool me. He opened up his desk drawer and pulled something and handed it to me.
It was gold type of envelope that seemed to be previously sealed by some sort of waxed stamp. It was a beautiful material, soft and thick. Sort of old styled. I opened it and read the italic print.
"A ceremony? To honor me as Luna? W-what is this about?"
"Well, when an Alpha finds his Luna, its normally requested that a celebration is needed in honor of officially welcoming her. However, I did not want it."
"Why?"
"I believe it was just too overwhelming for you. Especially when you are not too accustom to all of this." He sighed. "However my mother has taken it upon her self to host the celebration for us."
It was a little weird talking about his mother, especially when I haven't had the chance of actually meeting her since they live pretty far.
I always had thoughts about if she would like me or not. Bane always tells me that she would love me but of course he would think that way, its his mother.
I looked to Bane. His eyes were darkening, frustration lingering all over his facial features.
"Relax." I attempted to relax him. "Its just a little celebration. How many people will be attending? Fifty? A hundred?"
He rubbed the back of his neck nervously and mumbled something under his breath, making it impossible for me to hear.
"Bane?"
"More like over four hundred. Maybe."
"Four hundred?!" I yelped. "Wow."
"Yeah." He tightened his grip on me, pulling me into him to attempt to calm my nerves. "But you will be fine princess. You will have me, and everyone else with you."
Yeah Bane, that helps. About eight of us will easily calm my nerves from the other eight hundred eyeballs staring my way in either awe or disgust.
"I hope." I cringed. I slid his plate toward us and took a bite of his cheesesteak.
