Winning His Luna's Heart

Chapter 7

Eliana's POV

When Dan dragged me to the table I could still feel my mate's eyes on me boring holes in my back and a few seconds later I felt his presence around us and found him making his way to our table. Although, the only thing I feel is pain in my broken heart because my mate doesn't want me, but I didn't let reflect in my face I fought back tears because I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of knowing that he affected me. I smiled at my family. Dan threw his arm around my shoulders and introduced me to my mate as Gavin his best friend and the future Alpha of Red Moon

I looked at him and gave him a forced smile and kept my face blank void of any emotions and he looked at me as if he realized something and his expression softened towards me. But, I wasn't going to fall for his trap because if I wasn't sure before I am positive he doesn't want me. He never wanted his mate, with what Dan told me he was only looking for his mate to take over his pack. He broke my heart without knowing or talking with me and I don't want to be a fool like other women to fall for his charms

We introduced each and I extended my hand for a handshake only because we were surrounded by our families and I don't want to spoil their mood. Our packs have been allies forever and I'm an Alpha so I have to behave like one I shook his hand firmly and professionally as sparks erupted as soon as we made contact. It made electric current to flow up my arms and down my spine and made my toes curl. I quickly withdrew my hand from his grasp

He asked me for a dance and I denied politely and told him that I want to spend time with my family because I don't intend on coming back after I go tomorrow and it was the truth not after everything that happened today. It would only hurt me further. I danced with uncle David and then with Dan. When I saw everyone was busy enjoying the party I sneaked out and made my way home and mind linked Dan that I'm off to bed because I feel tired

I wanted to be as far away from him as possible and then suddenly I realized that he is going to be a guest in my pack for a few days and I would have to eventually see him again at least for a few days. I groaned as I felt frustrated I'm already hurt but I can't get myself to reject him. What did I ever do to deserve to be his mate? Why moon goddess? Why me?

Tears were streaming down my cheeks and all the emotions that I managed to hide from everyone overwhelmed me. I heard Elsa whimpering in pain. I have to stay strong for Elsa, for my family, for my pack and myself. I can't let him get to me. With this thought, I cried myself to sleep

Next morning I woke up with a slight headache because of all the crying. I made my way to the bathroom and I looked like crap. Red puffy eyes, tear-stained cheeks and runny nose. I cringed looking at myself

I followed my morning routine but, decided to skip my morning run as I was not in a mood for it and by the sense of it Elsa wasn't either. I brushed my teeth and had a long warm shower feeling my tense muscles relaxing and made my way to the closet and took out the dress aunt Becca brought for my birthday

I picked up a pair of my white lacy bra with matching panties and wore them quickly and took the white dress that went below my knees. It was a white narrow dress, my eyes darted to mirror as I slipped in the dress and the scars on my back brought memories of my parents death. I took a deep breath and blinked the tears gathered in the corner of my eyes. My parents would never want me to cry and they would have wanted me to stay happy. They would have been proud seeing me take over the responsibilities of the pack

I smiled and slipped the dress on and applied light makeup to hide my puffy eyes. It's my birthday today and I'm not going to let my emotions get the better of me. Elsa nodded in agreement and encouraged me and said she will always stay with me. Today we are meeting our pack after a long time as their Alpha and I won't let them down. They loved and trusted me and have always respected me so, I'm going to do everything to make them happy

I also realized that I will have to hold on to the treaty proposal I wanted to offer Uncle Blake till I figure things out for myself. I don't want to rush anything and I certainly can't break our alliance because of the issues with my mate because if the alliance was to break then it's going to cause problems for both the packs. I have to think things through and figure a way out

I finished getting ready and completed packing my stuff. I took my phone and shoulder bag and grabbed my suitcase and made my way downstairs. I loaded my luggage in my car and went inside the house to the kitchen

"Good morning everyone" I smiled and greeted everyone

"Good morning and Happy Birthday" three of them greeted and wished me together. I hugged them and gave them a kiss on their cheeks and we shared a family hug

We had our breakfast together and got ready to leave. Dan said he'll directly join us as he had to run a few errands given to him by Alpha Blake. Aunt and uncle drove in their car while I drove my baby we stopped outside the packhouse as Alpha, Luna and their son joined in their cars. Si was to join us with Dan

We started our journey towards the Blue moon pack and it took around 30 mins to reach the packhouse

As soon as I exited my car both my cousins and best friends came running towards me. They are also my beta and third. First was Brianna who gave me a bone crashing hug making me giggle. She is my Beta. Only if they knew how much I missed them. Then I was engulfed in a bear hug by Steven my second cousin and my Third in command. Just then a threatening growl was heard and I was separated from Steven and I knew very well who it was as strong arms wrapped around my waist and I was pulled against a hard chest and sparks erupted all over my body

"Mine" He growled loudly glaring at Steven and everyone started laughing around us

I looked at Gavin rolling my eyes at him annoyed at his possessiveness. He didn't want me and now he's being possessive and announced in front of everyone that we are mates. And he was jealous of whom? My cousin brother, really? Could this day become any better?

I heard Dan and Si laughing beside us and soon their laughter died as they seem to realize something and I heard Dan and Steven growl and soon the girls were in a similar situation

Brianna in Dan's arms and Sierra in Steven's arms. They were whispering something to the girls and they smiled at their mates shyly. I couldn't believe that my beta and third were mates with the red moon's beta and third. Everyone around us had an amused expression and happy smiles on their faces

I tried to wiggle out of Gavin's grip but he only tightened his hold me pulling me closer to him. His smell overwhelming my senses. I felt his breath on my neck, he was breathing heavily. He suddenly buried his face in the crook of my neck taking in my scent to clam himself that made shivers run down my spine as I struggled to free myself from his hold. I suddenly felt his lips on my shoulder and the impact made me shudder

"What are you doing? Let go off me" I whispered

"Stay still, please" he said, but I can't especially because I can't push him away when I'm surrounded by everyone. I don't want anyone to know that we have problems whatever it is stays between us

"No, Gavin let me go right now" I whispered calmly trying to wiggle out of his grip

"Baby please, I'm trying very hard to control myself. Stay still if you don't want me to kiss you hard right here and now" he whispered in my ears knowing well that he has an effect on me

"You wouldn't dare. Everyone is looking at us. Let me go" I said softly

He placed another kiss on my shoulder and looked up at everyone. He loosened his grip on me but kept his arm firmly wrapped around my waist. He smiled looking at me and I was forced not to retaliate as we had people surrounding us. Suddenly Steven spoke breaking the silence

"Ana we are waiting for you to introduce everyone" Steven said chuckling and I nodded my head rolling my eyes at him

"Brianna, Steven this Alpha Blake and Luna Isabella of Red Moon Pack. You guys already know my uncle and aunt. That is Daniel my cousin brother and future Beta of Red Moon, that's Sierra Alpha's daughter and future Third in command of Red moon and this is Gavin Alpha's son and the future Alpha of red moon pack and my mate" I introduced the red moon pack members

"Everyone these are my cousin sister and brother. They are the children of my father's brother and Beta John. Brianna my Beta and Steven my Third in command" I finished the introduction and Gavin visibly relaxed behind me

"Welcome to the Blue Moon Pack, everyone. It's an honour to have Red Moon Pack with us today" Bria welcomed everyone warmly and guided us to the packhouse

"I'm sorry" Gavin whispered in my ears and I looked at him

"I was jealous, just like yesterday. I'm really sorry" he whispered again but before I could say anything girls dragged me away and he reluctantly let me go. I sighed it's going to be a long day
