Arabellaâs POV~
I opened my eyes and laid very stillâ¦something was different. I could hear someone breathing and I started to panicâ¦a deep voice beside me said âI can hear your heart racing. Did you forget we came to bed together?â And I jumped about 3 feet,squealed and fell out of bed. And Sebastian roared.
You know how..in that first new bloom of relationships..and you want everything to be perfect? Yeahâ¦I think Iâm failing at that. He scooped me up and slid me back into bed and kissing my nose said âYou arenât failing at anything..and everything IS perfect..because itâs You. Iâm the relationship failer.â I said first off..failer is not a word..and giggled..secondly, you canât fail one..if youâve never had a relationship before.. This is both of ours first relationship. It will be our last. No room for failure.
He whispered âI really am so sorry..I wish you were my first everything â I looked deep into his eyes. He really is sorry. I love this man..and I understand why he was such a whore. I said I am not upset about the girls youâve been with. I was..but Iâm not now. That being said..Iâm not ready to have a physical relationship yet. It was only 3 nights ago I was listening to audio porn and knowing my mate was the star. Itâs a little much.. then I laughed and said but hugs and kisses are good. I love you,Sebastian. I have loved you for a very long time. He rolled over so he was half straddling me and put his lips to mine gently. He ran his tongue back and forth on my lower lip..then he nipped it with his teeth and I gaspedâ¦his tongue slipped past my lips and the heat inside my mouth had my toes curling. He deepened it and I moaned into it.. I had never felt anything like it and my pussy responded in kind..soaking my panties into my sleep shorts. Sebastian finished the kiss and said âGoddess baby. If I had known what it meant to have a mate, I would have searched for you. That kiss was the most intense thing I have ever experienced. Uggghhhhh! I can smell your arousal and itâs killing me.â
I am blushing but I canât help it. He leans back down and kisses me again before he headed to the door and said âwe are going to bring you and Callista into the pack this morning. I will feel so much better having all links online. Meet me in the office, yeah?â And I smiled and nodded. I jumped out of bed and squealed..doing a little dance. I have just been kissed!! Not just kissed..a long, deep, wet kiss that had me ready to beg that man to fuck me! Damn! Some experience can be a good thing. Laughing, I headed to the showerâ¦
We have all gathered in Sebastianâs office and Callista and I are catching up on everything thatâs happened. She looks so happy and I am just so happy for her. Sebastian asks for everyoneâs attention. He said..âthis is going to be a long day.. we have a few things to do right now and then several things to discuss and prepare for⦠First order of business, Callista please come forward â she looked at me with wide eyes and I stood with her to stand in front of Sebastian. We have to work on my girlâs confidence! Sebastian swore her into the pack..endorsing her as Beta Female and I squeaked!!! I said you are my right hand lady! My best friend and now my right hand! Seleneâs in her heavens and allâs right with my world!
Everyone chuckled and I hear Cory say âexcitable little thing, isnât she!!?â And Brayden told him he has no idea. I stuck my tongue out at them. Sebastian had Bray and Cory in front of him next. He asked Cory if he accepted being Gamma male alongside his mate. When Cory answered affirmatively, Brayden sliced his palm and handed the dagger to Cory to do the same. They clasped palms and we felt the power shift in the room, as it did when Callista became Beta. Sebastian turned to me and pulled me in close..âReady, my love?â I nodded eagerly.. to be part of a pack again had me so excited! He says âDo you. Arabella Sirces, accept Sterling Moon Pack as your pack? Do you promise to defend and protect our people with your life. Do you swear your dedication, oath and fealty to King Alpha Sebastian McCallum and Sterling Moon?â I said I do so solemnly swear..and when our bloodied palms met, I felt the connection of thousands of lives infuse my heart. I felt tears rolling down my cheeks and Sebastian asked me what was wrong. I could only shake my head. I said happy.. Iâm happy! Iâve been without pack 13 years. My half-brother refused to initiate me into the pack after my father died. Itâs been so long since Amaris has felt connected. We feel complete!
Sebastian sat behind his desk, pulling me into his lap. He said âWe have several orders of business to discussâ¦before we meet with council after lunch. I want my ducks in a row before I address that lot! First, primary and utmost importance.. Luna ceremony, wedding, and coronation. The full moon is in ten days..ceremony plans are almost completed, because there was supposed to be a coronation after the final competition. My love, take a look at these plans and change everything to your preferenceâ¦colors..flowers..menu. Anything you want.â I looked up and said..well, as proposals go,.. yours sucked. And everyone laughed. He stood up and set me on my feet and got down on one knee..pulling a box from his pocket, he said.. âYou are the one person in my life I never knew I needed. I will spend eternity making up the pain I have caused. I am so happy and so very proud to call you mine..will you do me the greatest honor and become my wife?â I squeaked and did a little dance, bouncing on my feet and jumped into his arms kissing him all over his face.. Bray laughed âI think thatâs a yes!â And Sebastian said âBaby?â All I could do is nod and laugh!
We sat back down, after I stopped vibrating..and he said â Callista. I would like you to start Beta training so you learn what your duties will entail. Brayden, you and Cory are to decide upon a dozen warriors to become elite guards.. they have to be loyal to a fault..and they are to undergo our most intense training in every form of combat. They are responsible..along with our Gammaâs..for the safety and wellbeing of our two highest ranking she-wolves. Kaiden, any news on who our enemies might be? We are flying blind right now and I donât like it.!!â Kaidan says âthe only unrest I have come across thus far is from Somers..heâs blustering about his daughter and her failure to become Queen⦠but there have been reports of groups of rogues gathering in several different areas and setting camps. I have already sent our best trackers to see whatâs going on with that. Also, brief reminder⦠your father, stepmother and sister will be arriving tomorrow for the end of the competitions.â I felt a wave of anger wash over the room and realize itâs coming from Sebastian. He said âMy father is the one who demanded this âTournament of Cowsâ and we had a vehement discussion about it. We havenât been in a good place since he married that bitch of a stepmother and forcing me to do this pissed me off more. He is coming here to gloatâ I kissed his jaw and whisperedâ¦itâs just another bridge to cross when we come to it.. Right now, I am hungry and Iâm too excited about Becoming Pack!!
