Bonded To The Lycan King

Melody's POV

As the sound of the drums drew closer, I couldn't help the throbbing of my heart, it was louder than the drum in fact. I could feel sweat running down my cheeks and my hands quivering at each step I took. Today will make a very significant day, not just in my life but also in the history of my Pack.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" my wolf roared in my head as we approached the podium.

"We can't go back on our words,we gave him our word, remember?" I replied to her via mindlink.

"Melody,that wasn't my question,are you sure of this?" She asked again, obviously she feels my pain and discomfort, she's part of me after all.

"No matter how we feel about this,we just can't go back on our word, I'm the Alpha." I said to her as my eyes locked with that of Weston.

Two years ago, it was my language,yeah because I believed that love is only an over emphasized word and is especially not meant for an Alpha like me, but it seems the whole universe wanted to prove me wrong and here I am ready to sacrifice even the name I bear to him; To Weston.

I felt all doubt flew as I stared into his deep ocean blue eyes. The only thing I can think of is a happy life with the one person that makes life meaningful to me,to the one person I can lay my life down for. I can't thank him enough for coming into my life, he deserves anything he wants from me.

With my lips curved upwards I took quick steps to the podium and stood by his side. He interlocked our fingers immediately while smiling broadly to me,I couldn't help looking into that ocean blue eyes of his that drew me towards him, Its forces superseding every other objection.

"You look so beautiful tonight, just like the moon goddess." He whispered as he adjusted closer to me.

"Stop with the flattery." I blushed with a slight smile.

"You know it's true my love." He continued and just when I was about to reply to him, seer of the Pack walked towards us.

"It's time!" She announced as she stamps her staff on the ground and the sound of the drum intensified.

"Greetings our Alpha!" The crowd chorused.

"Greetings my people, I'm honored to have you all present today."I voiced out with my alpha authority forcing them all to bow.

"Now let's proceed." She voiced out as she raised a knife upwards facing the moon reflection on the sky.

"Today, Melody Brown,the Alpha of the Ash River Pack, wants her position as the Alpha transferred to her mate, Weston North!" She voiced out with a loud voice as though the moon goddess would actually hear her.

"You're scared." Weston whispered into my ears.

Perhaps because he has claimed me, he can feel most of my emotions and when it's severe he can even share the pain with me. That's the beautiful thing about having your mate, not only that, but you both love yourselves.

"Yeah,you can't blame me for that." I replied as I exhaled deeply.

"Yeah, I understand your feelings, you can stop the ritual now if you're having any sort of doubt." He suggested while caressing my back palm slowly and I can feel his eyes fixed on me

"No, I don't want to stop it because I trust you, I trust the bond we share." I replied with a bright smile as I looked up at him.

"Thank you so much, I promise you right this minute on this sacred ground, you'll never regret your decision to do this." He was still speaking when the seer of the Pack walked towards him and gave him a cut with the knife in her hand.

"My Alpha, suck the blood." She requested, I turned my head towards her with a heaving heart, she kept a stoic expression, leaving the decision to obey her to be my choice alone.
