A Possessive Mate novel Chapter 30

"You're ready!" Amanda patted my cheeks with some blush and we both rushed to leave. It had taken about thirty minutes to do our make up because we kept singing and dancing along to a Beyoncé playlist instead of focusing. Plus, I had to redo my eyeliner a thousand times so that I could get it right. I had no idea how people could to a perfect line in seconds, when my hand shook every time the eyeliner went near my eyes. "Here we are!" Amanda stopped right in front of the large doors in front of the banquet room. "And you do know what's going on tonight, right?"

"Dinner..." I trailed off when I saw Amanda shaking her head.

"This is your Luna ceremony, you're officially joining the pack today," she started to open the doors.

"What?" Before I could say or do anything else, the doors were already opened and I was looking into a humongous room filled with pack members, all staring in our direction.

I suddenly felt the need to pee.

Sera's POV

I gulped and slowly walked in, hoping that I wouldn't topple on my heels. I looked at all the food, which included a huge chocolate fountain, a croquembouche, and a tall layered cake.

I wanted to spend the rest of the night in my room, with a few slices of cake and a canister of whipped cream. However, I was forced to awkwardly walk through a bunch of people who were staring at me with respect. An adorable little boy ran up to me, handed me a long-stemmed rose, and then ran back to his mom with red cheeks.

By this point, I had been walking forward, with no idea where I was supposed to go. An arm wrapped around my waist, and I sighed in relief when I saw that it was Nate's. He was dressed in a sharp black suit, white collar shirt, and a black tie with one of those clip things. (above) His hair looked super fancy, it looked like he used gel to make sure there were no fly-aways. But honestly, I preferred his tousled, out-of-bed hair because I could mess it up without feeling bad.

"Why didn't you tell me all of this crap would happen this morning?" I whispered into his ear.

"I didn't want to stress you out," he kissed my forehead and pulled me close.

"Mmhmm, I'll kill you later," I smiled and patted his head. "Why'd you use gel on your hair? I don't like it."

"I hate you," I smacked his face lightly and got up so I could dry off his head with a towel. I blow dried his hair until it was dry and helped him get his suit on. "There," I ruffled his hair and kissed his cheek. Nate grinned and hugged me.

"Let's go," he wrapped his arm around me and we left the bathroom together. I could see Amanda and Kurt giving us sly looks as I made eye contact with them.

"They think we did it," I whispered.

"Good," he looked proud for some reason. We wandered around for a while, and I was happy that Nate had snuck me some cream puffs.

"AND NOW LET'S WELCOME..." I heard a loud voice announce. "THE LUNA AND THE ALPHA OF THIS PACK!!" There was a bunch of applause and a spotlight was directed on Nate and I. And of course, he had to have been stuffing a large cream puff into my mouth when they did.

"Oh," my voice was muffled because of the cream puff.
