Chapter 92
A couple of feet down the hallway, from where Brianna and her mother were in, Rayan was pacing up and down in another room.
“Will you stop moving about? You will give me a headache!” Rayan’s mother, Abigail, said displeased.
“Why aren’t you going to your own room?” Richard, his father, also inquired.
“And sit with the mother and daughter while they are getting ready? Why should I stay with those two? When only seeing their faces and it makes me want to puke.” Rayan stated sarcastically, with nothing but venom spouting from his mouth.
He was forced to accept that woman and make her a Luna, even though she had pretended to be an innocent girl and his rightful mate. Nowadays, having accomplished her goal, she revealed more of her true face.
Her words, her personality, her shyness, even her clothing had turned to 180 degrees. She only knew how to spend money and ask for this and that.
In the end, just so he did not have to see her often, he had given her a credit card and tried to stay far away from her. But more and more, she was getting even more insufferable.
Having accomplished her materialistic desires, she now wanted him as well. She kept purring near! him like a cat, enticing him.
Did she really think that after seeing the real her, she still stood a chance?
He was only waiting for her to give birth. By right, the alpha’s children would always remain in the pack, especially a boy. The second Brianna gave birth, she would be gone from his life, one way or another.
“Rayan, she is your Luna, whether you like it or not. You were the one who chose her. Now own up. to it. She is the future mother of your children!” His father sternly scolded him. Richard was already upset because of his son. He had failed to recognize his own Luna, even though he should have found her at the summer ball before Celia left the pack. Now there was no more point regretting.
Also Celia had said that Rayan should marry her sister. This coupled with the fact that everyone knew she was the would be Luna, had made him force his son complete the Luna ceremony.
Child, not children, only one child. As if I would ever have another child with her!” Rayan said.
¿
isgusted at the mere thought of spending another night with Brianna.
“Just you watch father. Once the ball is over, I will go to the Academy and talk to Celia. I will convince her to come back with me. She must have suffered these past few months being away from me. Once I reason with her, she will come back with me. Only then I will have my rightful Luna.” Rayan continued saying, with hope clear in his eyes.
The night of the ball
“Rayan you have to hold her hand!” Richard ordered his son.
“Why should I?” Rayan asked visibly upset.
Because every couple that enters the ballroom does so. It is one of the many royal protocols I have
asked
you to take notice of and read. Don’t tell me you did not read the protocol manual? What if you disrespect his highness in some way?” Richard whispered to his son, but his voice, although not loud, was authoritative.
“I read it, I read it. Don’t worry father I know how to act in the king’s presence.” Rayan assured his father dismissive of the matter.
“The fact that you called his highness “the king“, in a place where everyone could listen, makes me
doubt you!” Richard immediately scolded.
After repeated scolding and reminding from his father, Rayan finally reluctantly held Brianna’s hand, who was by now grinding her teeth, and it was only the beginning of the evening.
Finally at 8pm, as the guests arrived, murmur could be heard from the hallway. It signified the arrival of the king. So everyone that was still in the hallways, quickly entered the giant ballroom.
“I can hardly wait to see his highness!” Brianna exclaimed enthusiastic.
Rayan said nothing in response to her affirmation, only irritated rolled his eyes and looked disgusted towards her.
“All who are seated rise on your feet.” The doorman’s voice boomed in the large ballroom.
But even without him raising his voice, the high ranking wolves in the room would have heard him
nonetheless.
There was no need for him to say it again, in the next moment, all were standing and looking at the door. As always the king was last to appear, so everyone that should have come was already in the ballroom.

two doormen opened, each one, a side of the double door, revealing the king and his partner. As well as the closest associates of the king. His beta Micah, gamma Joshua, Gabriel, along with their partners, followed behind the first ranked werewolf.
“His highness, Salas Christian Wolf and Miss Celia Blair, the alpha of this year’s generation watcher pack, are in attendance!”
Almost everyone in the room deeply bowed their heads, but there was still a general small murmur. His highness had never brought a partner to the ball.
The only two people who had not reacted and bowed were Rayan and Brianna, as both of them froze at the mention of Celia’s name.
