Bex stared back at me, taken aback by what I had just said.
“What is there to think about?” she asked as she stared at me.
I sighed as I walked over to my bed and sat down.
“It’s the traditions that got to me,” I said as I looked back at her. Bex frowned, but I shook my head. “I’m all for the dress and ceremony part, but I want to do something else, nothing like any other packs would expect.”
Bex c****d her head to the side. “Why not tell mate that?” she asked.
I sighed.
“I wanted to,” I said. “But Dad opened his mouth, and I let my anger get the better of me.”
Bex stared back and sighed but didn’t say anything.
“Can you tell Blaze I’m sorry?” I asked, which made her look at me.
Bex sighed.
“I blocked him,” she whispered. “I wanted to know what you were thinking; I didn’t want to give him any hope unless I knew where your head was.”
I sighed.
I know I f****d up, but part of me knew I had to find out something.
I looked toward where my phone was and picked it up.
I needed some advice, but who?
“What about Alpha Frank?” Bex said. “You can tell him what you want and see if it is possible.”
That would work, I thought.
I placed my phone on the bed and walked to the door to listen. There was nothing, not even a sound.
“Seems everyone has left,” muttered Bex.
I stepped back and decided to get ready.
I needed to look the part of a Luna.
I quickly placed a dress over my head and straightened it out. I stepped into my flats and made sure I looked okay. I was going to be seeing Alpha Frank.
Once I was ready, I opened my door, tiptoed out, and headed down the stairs.
I glanced around and heard movement in the kitchen.
I knew it was my father and uncle, so I went to the front door and closed it behind me.
I walked away from the house and headed toward the pack house.
Bex was close.
I walked up till I got to the pack house and headed to the office where I knew Alpha Frank would be.
I walked straight to the office and knocked.
“Come in,” shouted Alpha Frank.
I opened the door and walked in.
Alpha Frank sat behind the desk and looked up at me. His eyes widened, but a smile came across his face. “Roxie,” he said as he placed his pen down and looked at me. “I thought you would be with Lex.”
I didn’t say anything, only walked further into the office. I took a seat in front of him. As I looked at him, his eyes were full of concern.
“Please don’t tell Lex or my father I’m here,” I said. “I disagreed with them. Well, more as they spoke, and I didn’t say anything.”
Alpha Frank looked at me and nodded.
Bex was close but not on show.
“Talk to him,” she whispered.
I sighed.
“Lex and I mated last night,” I said. “I also marked Lex, but he didn’t mark me. He told me that he would wait till I was ready.”
Alpha Frank looked at me, and he grinned.
“That’s amazing news,” he said, but I could feel his eyes bore into mine, which made him frown. “What happened?” he asked. “What did he say this time?”
I looked at him and shook my head.
“Actually, he didn’t say anything,” I said. “It was my father.”
Alpha Frank looked at me, confused.
“My father and uncle came to the house and noticed the mark on Lex’s neck, and my father started to talk about the Luna ceremony and that.”
Alpha Frank stared at me but didn’t say anything.
“I got uptight about it, as I wanted to know what traditions we would have to follow,” I said.
“Let me guess, it scared you,” he said.
His eyes stared at me, but his face softened when I stared back and nodded.
“I acted like a childish i***t and left the table,” I said as a lone tear escaped my eyes. “Lex was hurt by how I acted, and when I didn’t want him to come in to talk to me, he got angry and left.”
Alpha Frank nodded.
There was silence in the room, but I gathered my courage and spoke again.
“I do want a Luna ceremony,” I blurt out and look at him, which made him c**k his eyebrows up at me. “I just want to change it. I d on’t want to be traditional, and you know I’m not.”
Alpha Frank smiled. “I know,” he said. “What do you have in mind?”
I stared at him.
“I want the dress and the ceremony,” I said. “But instead of having dancing and music, I want to hold something else.”
Alpha Frank looked intrigued.
“Like what exactly?” he asked.
Here goes, I thought.
“I want to hold an ultimate fight challenge here,” I said.
Alpha Franks’s eyes widened.
“I know it’s traditional for all alphas and Lunas to turn up to celebrate the new alpha and luna taking over and being together as mates, but,” I said, as I kept my eyes on him. “I want to fight and have Lex by my side. I want every alpha to know that we are united and nothing can stop us. It will also show what I’m like as a fighter, but also I want to send a message to every alpha out there that we are not to be messed with. I don’t want anyone else to suffer as we did at the hands of Alpha Trevor and not by any other alpha.”
Alpha Frank stared at me but didn’t speak for a moment. Bex stared at him and smiled.
Alpha Frank smirked.
“I take it you didn’t want to run this past Lex first,” he said as a grin appeared.
I shook my head.
“I wanted to make sure it was possible to do it,” I said. “I will get a dress and do everything I need to for the ceremony, but the fight will happen straight after.”
Alpha Frank smiled.
“I think it’s a fantastic idea,” he said. “I believe it will show everyone what kind of Luna you are, but I am going to invite more than alphas and lunas to the ceremony; now we are doing this.”
I stared at him, feeling slightly confused.
Alpha Frank laughed.
“I’m going to ask all the Elders to attend,” he said, which made me widen my eyes. “Elder Issac made an assumption that made me want to rip his heart out, and it was aimed at you.”
I stared at him as he sighed.
“He told me that this whole mess was over a luna that was never luna material,” he said.
I couldn’t help the low growl escape my lips.
Bex was growling loudly in my head and standing on all paws. “Stupid elder,” she growled.
Alpha Frank smiled.
“I told him he would have to find out what kind of Luna you are and meet you,” he said. “And what better way than to showcase you in an ultimate fight.”
