Chapter 105 Chapter 105 Kennedy 82 % Every time someone asks me to dance , I take the opportunity to look over at Quirin . First , I was surprised by his possessiveness of me and Im afraid to do something that will make him think that I dont want him . I do want him . I always have . But second , Im afraid hell run . Its not that hes a fearful man , well at least not usually . But Ive been watching my mate for years and I know that when it comes to emotions , hes not very good at handling them .. Luna Kennedy , how do you feel about being mated to my adopted son , Alpha Harold asks as we dance . Im very happy about it , Alpha , I tell him truthfully . Hmmm , not many women would say that . My son isnt an easy man to get close to . Ive never found it that difficult . No , I guess you havent . Have you ever been to his pack , Luna ? love that he keeps calling me Luna . Until Quirin called me mate , I was an Alpha , but now , being a Luna means that Ive found the man I love . I cant wait until his mark is on my neck and mine is on his so I can show everyone that he is mine . No , I havent , Alpha . You have though , right ? Yes . Ill warn you , Kennedy , Quirins pack is different . His pack is made up of previous rogues , scrappy individuals who are used to fighting for what they have and what they want . Youre a strong woman , Kennedy . It will a take a strong woman to make her way in a pack like that . Ill do my very best , Alpha , I tell him . Im sure you will , he says just before his eyes shift to look over my head . A moment later I feel heat at my back and smell his sandalwood scent . Are you going to let me dance with my mate , father ? I was just warming her up for you , Quirin . Luna Kennedy , I do hope to see you soon . Thank you , Alpha , I say to him and then turn to my mate . He looks at me a moment , his eyebrow going up in the arrogant way that he has . Personally , Ive always found it extremely sexy . I didnt know you danced , Alpha Quirin , I say as he takes me in his arms . Ive never had anyone I was interested in dancing with before , Little Pup , he says . I ignore the pup part and revel in the thought that he wants to dance with me . He begins to expertly move me around the floor . Where did you learn to dance like this , Alpha ? I ask him . He looks at me . Quirin , Kennedy . If were going to be mated , we should be more familiar , dont you think ? I smile at him and even though he doesnt smile , I watch his eyes soften . Where did you learn to dance , Quirin ? My mother , mostly . My father said that Alphas needed to know how to dance so we could play the mate game , searching for our mate , finding her , wooing her , all of that . 1/3 Mon , Jan 13 Chapter 105 Since youve searched for and found me , is this a game to you ? ask him . Or are you wooing me ? I was never good at playing games , Little Pup . I am who I am . I dont have time for frivolous things like playing games , he says and theres something in his tone , something that makes me think hes trying to warn me off of him . It wont work . So , youre wooing me then ? I ask . He looks down at me and the intense look in his eyes takes my breath away . Im going to make you mine tonight , Kennedy . There will be no going back , no second chances . After tonight , you will be mine forever . You will belong to me . You should think about that before we leave here tonight . Because once my mark is on you , I will never allow you to leave me . Well , once my mark is on you , Ill never allow you to leave me either . So perhaps you should be the one thinking about things before we leave tonight , I say indignantly , my tone expressing my aggravation with his words . Im rewarded with one of his rare smiles . Ive done nothing BUT think about it since Raif called you our mate . Youre questioning if you want me as a mate ? I ask quietly . His face becomes more serious . Do you remember what I said to you that night in the garden on Henrys eighteenth birthday ? You said men like you are no good for little pups like me . But I disagree . Lean see the surprise on his face . Im not sure if its because I remembered or because I disagree with him . And do you remember what you said to me after that ? he asks . I said Im not afraid of you . I remember that night as if it were yesterday . Ive relived it a thousand times in my mind and in my dreams . And you never have been , have you , Little Pup ? No. Why is that ? Others are terrified of me . Most people wont even come close enough to speak to me . But not you . Never you You always made a point of coming over to talk to me , didnt you ? You dont scare me . You never did , I tell him honestly . Im not sure what he would have said , but at that moment , my father begins tapping a glass . He calls Connor and I to the front of the room , wishing us a happy birthday and announcing my brothers Alpha ceremony in one week . Alpha Quirin , I do hope that you and Kennedy will be here to see her twin take his place as Alpha of the pack , my father says . I know of the animosity between my father and my mate . Its been there all of my life , and I know why the animosity is there . The only difference is the perspective of the man telling the story . I see Quirin ready to decline , but I refuse to miss brother . such a momentous occasion for my Of course well be here , father , I say before Quirin can decline Excellent , he says , not giving Quirin a chance to overrule me . Now , your mother and I have gifts for the two of you . He turns and my mother joins him , handing him a box before coming to me and handing me a box . Oh mother , you didnt have to , I say . 10.4 Mon , Jan 13 Chapter 105 82 % Youre my daughter . And now, it feels even more important siner youre going to be leaving and starting your own life , she says , with tears in her eyes . I hug her , long enough that I hear the ohhs and ahhs from the others gathered around . Im sure its about my brothers watch . Ive seen it already and I know it cost a fortune . Its a rare very expensive watch that my father felt my brother should have . Thank you , father . Thank you , mother , he says , putting the watch on . Your turn , Kennedy , my father says . I smile , looking over at Quirin . I see something like regret on his face , but Im not sure why hed be regretful of whatever my parents got me . I open the box and its a gorgeous diamond necklace . Oh , its so beautiful ! I say . Let me put it on you , my mother says . I knew it would go perfectly with your dress , she says . When its clasped , I turn and hug her . Thank you ! Then I go to my father and hug him as well . Thank you ! Of course . Lets have some cake ! he says , tucking me against his side as he announces cake to the room . Listen , Kennedy . Before you leave , I wanted to tell you … my father begins . Kennedy , lets go have some cake and then we need to think about leaving , Quirin says , coming up behind me . I can feel the tension between the two men , and I can also tell that my father doesnt want to let me go . He doesnt trust Quirin to take care of me . I pull away from my father . There is no choice for me . Quirin has always been the man Ive wanted . He is my mate . Im an Alpha wolf and I love a challenge just like any Alpha . I know that things between me and Quirin wont always be easy , but I know that there is no one else for me . Yes , Quirin , lets go get some cake . I take his hand and lead him away from my parents . Its only about an hour later , when Quirin tells me that I need to go pack my things . Since were apparently coming back in a week , just bring what you need for now . Ill make plans to get a truck and we can bring everything else back next week when were here . Okay , I say, starting to get nervous . I wont take too long . I find my mother , and ask her to help me , before heading upstairs to pack up my life . Im ready to move and leave this pack and my family behind me , ready to start my new life with Quirin , wherever that may lead .

Determined to seek revenge, she decid...
