Alpha King’s Lost Luna

Chapter 124

Chapter 124 Mate CAS SANDRA When Becky and I arrived at the celebration the next day, I was amazed. The banquet hall was decorated to perfect, and it was already full of guests, many more. than the last time there’d been a celebration. There had been far fewer people here to welcome Kaleb to Wegalla. This was clearly a bigger affair than I’d imagined. The Crescent Pack certainly cared about its own. Becky peered around with widened eyes. Her curiosity was at its peak, and I couldn’t help but smile at her. My assistant looked incredibly gorgeous tonight. She was wearing a sapphire blue dress with billowy sleeves that fell off her freckled shoulders and contrasted beautifully with her fair skin. She wasn’t wearing her round glasses tonight, so her big, reddish-brown eyes seemed brighter than usual. Marley and I had curled her short red hair and applied makeup just before we’d arrived, and her lovely, angular face looked fairy-like and ethereal. Her full, pink-painted lips parted lightly as she took in the sight of the lanterns and candles that glittered in the hall. “Wow,” she breathed. “It looks incredible in here, Cas sy.” “It really does,” I agreed as I glanced around the room. A small orchestra played lightly in the corner, and the banquet table was impeccably dressed with a gold tablecloth and red rose centerpieces. This was the most royal celebration I’d seen in a while. “You look incredible, too,” Becky noted with a warm smile, and she playfully reached for my arm. We dissolved into a mess of giggles when she twirled me around, and my dress flared out around me with the motion. I’d borrowed a dress from Marley, who just so happened to bring it with her from Wild Crawler. “I brought it just in case,” my friend had joked when she’d shown it to me earlier. in the day. “You never know.” 1/5

Luckily, Marley and I were similar sizes, so it fit perfectly. My dress was long, like Becky’s, but the silky fabric was pale lilac instead of blue, and it was sleeveless. It clung to every curve of my body, which usually would have made me uncomfortable, but to be honest, I felt really beautiful. I’d curled my hair as well, and it hung in long waves down my back. I smiled at Becky. “Thank you.” I caught sight of the Moses family immediately. They were at the center of the crowd, but Silas was missing. Perhaps he hadn’t arrived yet. Asher was with them, talking. He was looking incredibly handsome in his black suit. After a moment, he glanced over at me and smiled. I smiled back. He didn’t come over to me, but that was alright. It was better this way. Asher and I had discussed it just the other day in the clinic after a health check. The Alpha King and I needed to pretend not to be so close in public. So, for now, these little smiles and glances were more than enough.

I turned to Becky. “Shall we get a drink?” She nodded, looking both excited and nervous. I took her arm and led her to the refreshment table. On the way there, we ran into Kaleb. “Cas sandra,” the king of Yurene greeted me warmly. “And Becky. You’re hoth looking lovely tonight. How is the clinic going?” “Thank you so much,” I replied with a kind smile of my own. “The clinic is going. great! It’s been very busy, but it’s been nice.” “I’m so happy to hear that, Cas sandra,” Kaleb said, and his navy blue eyes danced in the light of the candles. “I wish you nothing but the best-” Before he could finish his sentence, a few councilors approached. Like Kaleb, they all wore impeccably tailored suits, but their expressions were far more reserved than his. As they swarmed around him, I led Becky away, and once we were at the

2/5 refreshment table, Becky released a long exhale. “I’m not good at these types of things, apparently,” she said as she rubbed her bare shoulder. “I’m so awkward-” “I “Don’t even worry about it,” I assured her. “Trust me, you’re doing fine. It’ll get much easier with time. Besides, if you want to become a royal healer one day, you’l need to get used to talking with werewolves from the upper class.” “You’re right,” she admitted, and her cheeks flushed. “Thanks for the reassurance, Cas sy. I’m so lucky to have you as my friend.” “I feel the same,” I said, and then I gestured at the table. “Now, grab some champagne, and we can find a nice corner to hang out in while we get our bearings.” “That sounds perfect to me,” Becky replied with a grin. We grabbed a couple of flutes of sparkling champagne, and as we sipped at the delicious, crisp, drinks, we meandered to a small area of the banquet hall that allowed us to observe without being in the way. A few familiar faces from the clinic approached and said hello to us. I let Becky handle much of the conversation, and after a while, she started to get the hang of it. “This isn’t too bad,” she admitted to me quietly. “You’re doing great,” I assured her with a smile. “Thank you for bringing me,” Becky replied. “Really, Cas sy, I appreciate it.” I reached out and lightly touched her arm. “It’s no trouble at all. I’m happy to have you with me.” We continued mingling, and after a while, the crowd of people parted, and the chorus of voices in the banquet hall hushed as Silas Moses finally appeared. Becky craned her neck to get a better look as the Beta entered the banquet O 3/5 hall.

“Wow,” she whispered when she spotted him. “He’s… so handsome.” My assistant was correct. Silas was impossibly handsome. Tall, muscular, yet still lean, with the same deeply tanned skin, dark brown hair, and bright amber eyes as Adalyn. His face was just as angular as his sister’s, but there was a seriousness and almost gloominess in his expression that seemed out of place given the circumstances. His golden eyes darted around exhaustively as if he were searching for something. Oliver Moses stepped away from Asher and approached his son. “Silas,” he said with a smile, but when he stepped forward to greet him, Silas made a point to ignore him in front of the whole room. Everyone began to chatter from a distance. Why was the Beta ignoring his father? Before I could speculate on the matter too much, Silas’ golden gaze fell upon us. His full lips parted and his nostrils flared. Before I could react, he suddenly stormed over to us. My heart raced as he grew closer and I froze in place. What was going on? Becky began to shiver, and before she could move out of the way, Silas marched right over to her, grabbed her waist, and pulled her to him. As Becky shook from what had to be sheer panic, he pulled her chin closer to his face. “Mate,” he growled. ||| 4/5 My heart stopped as his words crashed over me, and a gasp escaped my lips I realized what was going on. No. No way. This was impossible. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Becky was Silas Moses’ mate? As the pair stared into each other’s eyes, the entire banquet hall suddenly fell into silence.
