Chapter 0143
Cara doesn’t realize it, but my Alpha ceremony will also include her Luna ceremony. I feel confident after her evening with Liam that she will choose me. She is mine and I am hers. It will be official on her birthday.
The night before her birthday, I tell her I’m sleeping in the packhouse and she should stay in her father’s house . She seems confused, but I want her to see me for the first time as her mate at her party. I use the excuse tha
I have to help my mother get ready for her party, which isn’t a lie. I want everything to be perfect, special for my mate on her birthday.
On the morning of her birthday, I send her a text wishing her a happy birthday. I don’t want to speak to her in case she recognizes us as her mate from our voice. I let her know her first birthday present is waiting for her at her door.
Mate: You got me another dress?
Me: This one is for a very special day. Do you like it?
Mate: I love it. It’s beautiful.
Me: I can’t wait to see you tonight.
Mate: Me too. I still say you could have stayed the night. Then we’d know now if we’re mates.

Me: It’s only a few hours away, love. Enjoy your morning with your father.
Mate: Ok, see you soon
Me: I love you Cara.
Mate: I love you too Rik.

I help my mother prepare for the party. Cara agreed to have it at the packhouse. She has met so many of the pack members over the last month, that we decided to invite everyone.

There are flowers everywhere. Every bouquet has flowers that mean love in them. We’ve also set a bouquet of Lily of the Valley on either side of the entrance to the main hall. My mother and I discussed it and we felt this is the best way to include Lily Nelson on this special day.
The guests begin to arrive about an hour before Cara. The packhouse fills up quickly and the atmosphere is filled with excitement. Liam arrives. We shake hands and go our separate ways. One of us will have to go off and lick our wounds. tonight, and it won’t be me.

My father clinks his glass to get everyone’s attention. It’s time. Cara and Clint have arrived. I can feel my heart rate increasing. My palms are sweating. This is it. The moment that I’ve been waiting months for, the moment when I expect to start my life with the love of my life, my mate.
I hear her walking in the hall and the smell of her vanilla and honey is almost overwhelming. Her scent is so much stronger now. There’s no way she doesn’t feel it. Kai pushes forward, ready to acknowledge his mate.
