Chapter 36 Blood Moon Part 2 The Bell of The Ball
Jaxton
I couldn’t take my eyes off the backless wine-colored dress with thigh-high splits so close to her sweet honey that my mouth watered at the thought of shifting it slightly and burying my face between her knees under the table. So far everything had been fun and smooth, everyone wanted to meet the King of Alphas heir an anomaly both an Omega and an Alpha. The best part of my night was my family’s approval well everyone except my two younger sisters. And as awful as they are and how disgusting their past decisions and behavior were, without their nonsense, I wouldn’t have met my Khione. Khione ignored them and they really didn’t like it. I found it amusing honestly, they need to learn to be better and kinder after the last incident I no longer felt inclined to spoil them. I take Khione by the hand and guide her to the dance floor pressing my body against hers, swimming in her loving eyes.
Dravos
I hid in plain sight in one of the many disguises I met Khione in. The one I used the longest, it took quite the effort to integrate into the ShadowPack making myself a lowly accountant. I watched her dance one by one with her mates biding my time for a moment alone. It was almost midnight the blood moon was almost at its highest point I’m sure my sacrifices were almost completely bled out hung over the dark altar. I’m doing all of this for you, my Khione. I had the potions put in her drink, and her mate's drinks as well. If this works this is the last nefarious act, I’ll do I’ll be good for her. Watching her laughing, and the affection she showered her mates with made my patience grow thin. Finally, I saw an opening; she went out on a balcony I made my way to her.
Khionep
I was having a good time mostly because of my mates but I’ve never been the partying type I needed fresh air a moment to myself. I felt someone behind me his scent familiar while simultaneously strange and foreign, the irregularity made my alarms go off. My panther perked up; my wolf seemed confused. I turned around to come face-to-face with him.
“Dominic? H-How could you be one of my….”
I shook my head, was this right, or maybe one of the others was nearby but when I looked up into his eyes, as midnight struck.
“Mate we said together.”
I couldn’t believe a seventh mate. Seven!
“Wow, I can’t believe this.”
“Me either Khione but I can’t pretend it doesn’t make me happy.”
“I-I don’t know what to say.”
“No need to speak we all need time to process this.”
He stepped closer caressing my cheek and it felt electric just like with my other mates. I looked up at him and he was grinning, lust dancing in his eyes.
“I have a present for you.”
“For me?”
“Well, I can’t deny I’ve had a crush on you but with the age difference I kept my distance but now I can give it to you without an issue.”
He put a pendant around my neck, and I felt dizzy for a minute almost heavy before everything felt calm again. He was whispering something, but I couldn’t catch it. The others came rushing over sensing the moment I felt unwell.
“KHIONE!”
They all called out rushing through the doors.
“I’m ok guys I just seemed to be collecting mates meet number seven.”
They all paused and looked back and forth between me and Dominic. Nathan was the first to step forward shaking his hand.
“Welcome to the family.”
The others joined in slowly Tristan came over to me.
“I hate to be the one. But doesn’t this feel almost strange?”
“Maybe a little but I got all the same signs as with you and the others.”
He nods eyeing Dominic. He already knew him, but he was never friendly, he sucked in a deep breath before making his way over to the rest of them.
We all go back inside introducing him to the pack who came with us. The rest of the night was almost uneventful. I should’ve known better I jinxed us. Walking through the doors the nerve the absolute gall of Becca, and Tina.
Becca
Khione stomped towards us I couldn’t help but giggle.
“Hey, slut bag. You might want to be careful you know violence and fighting are forbidden on Elder territory.”
“I will have my pound of flesh you stupid bitch.”
“Back off.”
Tina jumped in but I was distracted by Tristan glaring at me. Another drop-dead gorgeous man came up behind Khione trying to calm her down. I remember him from some other party or mating ceremony. I couldn’t place his familiarity. Tina looped her arm in mine pulling me away from them. We came here on a mission to find someone to get both of us pregnant. Although the wide girth the crowd gave us might have made this more difficult no one seemed not to want anything to do with us. We went around the hall trying to flirt with any of the guys but nothing. We were about to give up when we saw a gorilla of a guard looking at us. Literally, he was a gorilla shifter, and we found our target. We only need one and we agreed it would be easiest to share.
Khione
I was raging but I couldn’t act on anything while here. The sight of Becca ruined my night I said my goodbyes with the old and new allies and families of my mates and stormed to the doors. I heard my mates running after me, and then I felt bad for my new mate, she ruined our first moments together. She was poison tainting everything she came near. She was a festering tumor that I needed to rip out of this world. I slowed down.
“Dominic I’m sorry that the rest of our night was ruined by that bitch.”
He smiled gently but secretively
“It is fine word reached my pack a while ago almost everyone knows what happened to you. And who said the night was over? I am ready to accept my mate and bond if you are.”
“I-I…”
I didn’t know what to say but he chuckled. I shook off the nagging voice that maybe I should wait. But then I thought of my other mates, and how I didn’t wait to have them. He cocked one eyebrow looking at me.
“It’s fine I am ready to accept you as mine.”
His smile grew even wider as he held my hand. We all made our way to the house we were placed in for the conferences and events that the Elders were hosting.
