Chapter 25: Chapter 25

"So Alpha, are you ready for tomorrow's ceremony?"

Aaron nodded his way, "a bit nervous."

Matteo suddenly whistles, "oh, boy, are you sure you want your luna to be seen naked by everybody?"

I heard him and Aaron frown a little rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

I look at my grandma with interest on why the luna would be naked in front of everyone.

"Not everyone, just nana Gloria, two omegas, and another elderly woman," he nervously says

"Not forgetting you two as our witness."

That caught my attention, "why am I being included as a witness?" I ask my grandma straight away instead of Aaron.

"Oh, dear! our tradition here, in every mating ceremony of the Alpha and his Luna, the pack should be present along with witnesses from other Packs high ranking people.

In fact, due to Alpha's requests, therefore, we only let a few attend, and since you two are here, we don't need other witnesses," I exchange look with Matteo

"Grandma, are you saying I'm going to see him?" I pointed to Aaron, "and his luna intimately involved," she nodded her head.

Alera didn't sit still in hearing this, 'Oh, wow, you're going to see some Porno bitch' she wags her tail.

'In case you still wonder pornography is the word baby,' she added.

"Pornography," I mutter pulling away from my grandma's hold and seeing his eyes and Aaron staring back at me.

"Dear, did you just say," my grandma started.

"Pornography,” Matteo intercepted.

My grandmother looked at me, and I swear I want to kill Alera for saying out that word to me. I mean I never bother or came across the word not until this wolf of mine told me.

Now I am more embarrassed as the words seem to be bad given these three's reactions.

Alera then quickly explain to me the meaning of the word makes my eyes go wide, clamping my hands to my mouth.

'Damn it, Alera,' I curse her through our links, and she just snickers at my dismay.

I quickly changed the subject, "grandma do you realize I am eighteen," again she nodded her head.

"Oh dear, first off it's not pornography, it's called mating, and eventually, you will do it with your mate one day. It may not be in front of everyone but behind closed doors," she explained

'Oh no, kill me now, as my mate is standing right next to you,' I scream inside my head.

My grandma smile and gave me a wink.

This is so awkward, I thought to myself, avoiding eye contact with Matteo and Aaron.

I just can't believe I'm having this conversation in front of my mate and his cousin.

After lunch, I told my grandma straight away that I do not want to go, but she insisted I should be there.

So I hope for it not to happen on the next day unfortunately when morning comes and the day went so quickly and the night came.

Here I am right in front of the audience on the other side near the bed made for the Alpha and his luna.

It was beautifully decorated, and everything looks amazing with that candlelight lit around the bed.

I was dreadfully nervous like seriously, my grandma explained to me yesterday that this was normal in our world. Somehow I would get to that stage someday.

The Alpha enters with his Luna who was in lingerie. He leads her towards the bed both smiling at one another.

I look around, looking for Matteo, but he wasn't there, so I continued to look somewhere else instead of the two.

I heard a growl by Aaron with his hands possessively secure around his Mate. I try not to look at the two while shifting around my chair uncomfortably, hoping it would finish soon, but no, it wasn't.

Moaning and whispering echo throughout the room. Then a scream escapes from Luna’s lips before it turns into grunts and more moaning.

I turn up and what I saw is something I have never seen before my eyes.

The luna arches her back, her hands on his shoulder while the Alpha is burying his head between her breast going back and forth.

I quickly divert my gaze to the other side, and that's when I see him.

He was relaxed back to his chair with his eyes fixed on my face. This moment between us felt so different like I felt the pull between us.

It's like I wanted so badly to be there with him instead of this distance between us.

When the mating was finally over, I walk back home by myself.

"Now I couldn't get the last image out of my poor innocent head,"

I keep on slapping my cheeks lightly with both hands on my way home.

Since my grandma is one of the elders in the pack so she stays behind for the final blessings of the Alpha and the luna.

"Hey, let me walk you home," I turn to find a guy whom I knew nothing of running up to me.

"Thanks for the offer, but I am fine," I quicken my steps, and the ass seems to be faster than me.

"Hey," he held back my arms but was being manhandled by Matteo. "You don't fucking get to touch her," the guy nodded his head, and he ran away.

"So do you won't go straight back home all by yourself or take an adventure with me around the pack."

"It’s not your pack," he scratches his head "yeah it's my cousin's and besides here is like a second home. So what do you say?"

I stood there, thinking if this is right or not, but I ended up saying yes.

Matteo took me around the pack like it was our own. He seems to know more about this pack. It was fun hanging out with him. He was completely different from when we were back in our territory.

He ended up taking me to a cliff that oversees a beautiful waterfall and the forest. We talk for a while, not about pack stuff or us being mates but about my high school stuff and his college experiences.

When it began to get chill, he stood up from beside me. "Come on, it's time to get you home now," I heard him, but I just want to take in the beautiful view one last time.

"You're still thinking," he says again.

"Huh?"

"You still couldn't get past the Por-" he didn't quite finish as I took him by surprise and kick his jewel.

He groans in pain, "what was that for?"

I bit my lip saying, "for a lot of things Matteo, especially you,” I pointed at him, “ruining my moment with the view. Oh one more thing, it's mating not that P-word."

I say and ran while laughing with him chasing me back home.

Oh, what a night! I smile to myself.
