CHAPTER 17 : THE MATING BALL (PART 4)
Alex stood behind Jace as he held his hand trying to avoid eye contact with the other beta wolfs Jace
was talking with.
The men that stood were all taller and buffer than Alex’s build who was a bit chubby with being only 5’9
while his mate Jace who was 6’6 was as equally tall as the other wolves.
Jace noticed Alex being scared as he hid him behind while he continued talking about guarding the
area. Alex nervously looked around as Jace tightened his grip to calm him down.
“Yes, just make sure to guard the other gates and if you smell any witch that isn’t familiar just don’t let
them in since the humans who are mated with the prince could get in danger” Jace spoke sternly as the
wolfs saluted while they walked away leaving Jace and Alex.
“Babyboy, why so scared of them? They are our guards and they won’t hurt you” Jace spoke softly as
he bent down to his mate’s level while he set his hair.
“I know Jace but they are so tall that they scare me” Alex spoke as he bit his bottom lip while he stared
at all the tall wolves and vampires since he felt small.
“Do I scare you? I am equally as tall as all the warriors and guards.” Jace questioned as he didn’t like
the fact his mate being scared of the wolves that were like a family to him.
“No silly, you don’t scare me because you are my mate” Alex giggled out as he hugged Jace’s arm who
chuckled at his mate’s cuteness.
“Well, my baby boy those guys are like my family since I know them when I was little. Their parents
were my parent’s warriors and now they are mine so stop being scared.” Jace explained as Alex
pouted while he let go of his mate’s arm.
“But-” Alex spoke as Jace shook his head while he cut him off by pulling him towards himself. Jace
wrapped his arm around Alex’s body as he buried his face in the crook of Alex’s neck as he took his
scent in.
“No buts baby, you are their luna and they rather die than hurt you” Jace whispered in Alex’s ear as his
face turned red in embarrassment.
“O-Okay” Alex stuttered out embarrassed as Jace smiled kissing his mate’s cheek while he spoke
“That’s my cute little mate” making Alex shy.
Jace let Alex go as he noticed his sister. “I will go talk to my little sister wanna join?” Jace questioned
as Alex opened his mouth to speak when his stomach growled making Jace chuckle.
“Go grab something to eat first” Jace laughed out making Alex giggle while he nodded his head and
jogged away towards the food table where he took a bowl of cheese macaroni as he sat on the floor in
a corner hiding from all the crowd.
Alex hummed a melody as he took a bite while he moaned as he loved how it tasted beside it was one
of his favorite food. Alex ate happily as he saw three girls walk towards the food table as they looked
quite familiar to him.
“Those humans would pay” One of the girls spoke as Alex heard them clearly since he was hidden and
they didn’t know anyone was there.
“Yeah, I heard the boys will be proposing to the girls like humans do since it’s one of the things
vampires do if their mates are vampires” The other girl spoke as Alex bit his bottom lip.
“I am sure the girls don’t know anything that would be happening today so why not yell they need rings
too and embarrass them while the whole kingdom watches them” The third girl spoke as Alex lost his
apatite while he crawled away making sure not to be seen by the girls.
Alex noticed he was far away as he quickly jogged towards the girls since he knew this might happen.
He remembered quite well how Jace’s fans did to him and embarrassed him while he cried for days but
Jace handled the situation.
Alex didn’t want anyone going through the same embarrassment he went through so without telling
anyone except Victoria and Elena as he made a plan because he knew that they would understand the
situation better than others.
Alex quickly jogged towards the royal sofa where he noticed Juliet, Ronin, Alyssa, and Loukas sitting
as he stopped to catch his breath since he was an omega, he didn’t have much strength as all the
alpha, beta, or other rankings in the wolf kingdom.
Alex bent down as he was now breathing heavily. “Hey, you okay Alexander?” Loukas questioned as
he used his full name out of concern.
Loukas stood up taking a sealed water bottle and giving it to Alex who hummed while he quickly
opened the bottle was, he drank it.
“Jace is busy with his sister so can I borrow Alyssa and Juliet for few minutes please” Alex smiled
trying to hide the fact of what he heard since he didn’t want the surprise, Loukas, Draco and Ronin
were planning to be ruined. Loukas saw Ronin who shrugged as they saw Alex pleading so they
nodded their heads.
“Yeah, sure besides we need to talk to our parents anyway so just take care of them for us” Loukas
spoke as Alex nodded his head while Alyssa saw Loukas walking away with Ronin.
“We need to find Luna as soon as possible” Alex spoke as he started to walk quickly all worried while
Alyssa and Juliet followed him behind all confused.
“Alex, what’s wrong?” Alyssa questioned as Juliet almost tripped making Alex giggle so he held her
hand smiling which made Alyssa smile to see how caring he was towards them.
“I saw some girls talking about trashing this mating ball and I can’t tell you because it will ruin the
surprise that the boys prepared for you” Alex explained a bit which made Alyssa all worried when she
saw Luna talking with Draco while she was pulling his tie.
“Brother Draco” Alex yelled interrupting as Draco turned around looking at Alex, Alyssa, and Juliet who
smiled at him.
“Whatcha doing here?” Draco questioned as he pulled Alex and wrapped his arm around his shoulder
which he didn’t mind at all since he was close with him the most.
“Brother Draco your brothers are with uncle and auntie discussing the thing we talked about” Alex
spoke as Draco hummed understandingly.
“Alie, I am leaving Luna in your care” Draco spoke as he kissed the crown of Luna’s head while he
waved at them all and walked away.
“Everything okay?” Luna questioned as Juliet shook her head while they all walked back to the sofa.
“Alex saw some girls talking about trashing this mating ball and Alex can’t tell us because it will ruin the
surprise that the boys prepared for us” Juliet spoke all sadly making Luna sigh...
Alex could tell the girls were disturbed especially Luna as he had heard what had happened to her in
the human world so that is why Draco had assigned Alex to be close with Luna to make her feel
wanted and treasured.
“I knew something like this would happen” Luna groaned as she sat on the sofa with Alex next to her.
Juliet sat with Alyssa who was equally worried as her sisters and Alex.
“Okay, I kind of predicted this would happen like I was like 50 percent sure since something like this
happened in Jace’s sister mating time and even mine so I already prepared everything cause I knew
anything could happen” Alex spoke as he stood up and walked to the table where he picked three small
bags that he prepared with Victoria and Elena.
He walked back as he sat on the sofa and gave one bag to each. “Did I give you guys the right ones?”
Alex questioned as Juliet saw her name on the bag so she nodded her head.
“Great now open this when I give you the signal too so for now keep this with you and I am sure no one
will notice since it’s so small,” Alex spoke as Luna kept hers in her clutch shrugging.
“Oh yeah I can do that too” Alyssa giggled out as she kept her bag inside the clutch while Juliet did the
same as well.
The boys walked back as Alyssa noticed Loukas so she stood up and went to sit with Loukas happily
while Ronin sat with Juliet. Alex stood up as he sat with Jace who smiled at Draco.
Draco sat with Luna while he pulled her towards himself smirking as Luna glanced at Alex all worried
who smiled at her as he slowly nodded his head.
Alyssa glanced at her sisters and Alex as she just hoped everything goes okay. Loukas noticed Alyssa
deep in thought which made him smile as he kissed her cheek when the royal horn blew indicating that
the boys were about to give their surprise to the girls which got them and Alex nervous.
The boys waited as they saw their parents standing up while Jace stood up with Alex and walked
towards their parents.
Alex pointed at his brain which confused Luna, Alyssa, and Juliet when suddenly they heard Alex’s
voice in their head. ‘I will keep in touch with you three so don’t worry...I won’t let anything happen’ Alex
spoke telepathically as the girls smiled all relieved.
“May I have your attention please” The royal announcer spoke as everyone stopped chatting while they
looked at the king and queen who stood there smiling.
“Can I please have my sons here with me?” king Michael spoke as everyone clapped Jace whistled
excitedly seeing his childhood friends getting mating finally.
Loukas, Draco, and Ronin walked up to their father as they stood right next to them smiling.
“Now can I please have my daughters-in-law here with me?” Victoria spoke as the girls glanced at Alex
who slowly nodded his head as the girls walked up and stood next to Victoria who smiled at them.
“My sons prepared a surprise for my future daughters so I would like them to show it one by one
starting with my eldest son your prince Loukas” Michael spoke as he clapped with others while he took
a step back as Loukas took a step and smiled at the crowd.
“Can I please have my mate Alyssa here with me?” Loukas spoke as Alex gestured Alyssa to go as
she walked up to Loukas and stood next to him.
Loukas smiled at Alyssa as her cheeks turned red while she smiled back at him. He turned his body
towards her as he got down on one knee confusing Alyssa.
Loukas pulled out a small box while he opened it making Alyssa’s eyes widened in shock. He held
Alyssa’s left hand as he flashed a smile at her as she averted her eyes all shy.
Alyssa looked back at the pink and silver ring as she smiled at Loukas who spoke “Let’s spend the rest
of our lives together and face every single obstacle together. My heart always felt empty until you came
and showered it with love. So, my mate would you like to be mine forever?” Loukas questioned as tears
prickled in Alyssa’s eyes while she nodded her head saying “Yes” as she smiled as everyone else
cheered for them.
Loukas took out the ring as he kept the box down while he slipped the ring on Alyssa’s ring finger as
the ring glowed in all the colors of fire while Loukas stood up. He pecked her lips as he joined their
foreheads smiling.
Loukas intertwined his left-hand finger with Alyssa’s righthand ones as they walked back letting Michael
step forwards as he smiled at the crowd once again.
“Now I want my second so-”
“Dad, can I go first? please” Ronin cut his father off who laughed at his son nodding his head.
“My youngest son is getting impatient so let’s call him next” Michael laughed while Jace and Alex
laughed making Draco frown as Ronin wiggled his eyebrow at Draco who groaned annoyed.
“My youngest son Ronin” Michael spoke as everyone cheered while he held Juliet’s hand and walked
up to where Loukas and Alyssa stood first.
Just like Loukas, Ronin also dropped on his one knee as he took Juliet’s left hand and looked right into
her eyes smiling while she smiled back at him making his heart flutter as his smile turned into a smirk
making Juliet giggle.
“When I close my eyes the only thing, I can picture is you and me together with our kids. I promise you
that I will try my best to work harder and cherish you forever so princess Juliet since I am already yours
will you like me to be yours forever as well?” Ronin spoke as he waited for Juliet’s answer.
Juliet nodded her head as she spoke “I was already yours since the day you said I am your mate” while
she sniffed trying her best not to cry. Ronin kept the box on the floor as he took out the ring.
Ronin slipped the ring on Juliet’s ring finger as the ring glowed blue as the water which was his power.
The crowd cheered as Ronin stood up wrapping his arm around Juliet’s waist while they walked back
and stood in their place again.
Ronin kissed Juliet’s cheek as she kissed his back. “I love you” Ronin whispered in Juliet’s ear making
her giggle as she whispered back “I love you too” making Ronin smile.
Luna was smiling as she saw everyone cheering when she glanced at Draco who rolled his eyes as
she felt somewhat hurt.
“Now it’s my second’s son turn who was supposed to go but your prince Ronin couldn’t wait so let’s call
your prince Draco” Michael laughed out as he went back and stood next to Victoria while Draco
stepped forward with Luna.
Luna had noticed the change in Draco’s behavior which worried her since she had a feeling that
someone scolded him or maybe said something that he doesn’t like.
Draco dropped down on his one knee as he sighed while he held Luna’s left hand while she looked at
him all sad and hurt.
“I have thought of a something...” Draco spoke as he paused all annoyed while Luna chewed her
bottom lip scared while she could tell all eyes were on them
“...few years from tonight...” Draco continued again while he took a big pause making everyone feel
uneasy as to what is he trying to say.
‘Is he going to leave me after few years? I can’t let that happen I love him’ Luna thought all sad not
knowing Draco read her thought yet again as he smirked at her.
“I have thought of a something...few years from tonight...let’s tell our kids the story of how I proposed to
you.” Draco laughed out as Luna smacked his arm while she huffed crossing her arms around her
chest.
Luna was quite worried that Draco might leave her but as usual, he was just teasing her. Draco shook
his head as he grabbed Luna’s left-hand gently while he kissed her hand’s knuckle. “My life is filled with Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
challenges and I really can face them if you are by my side. Just always remember that the day we first
met I told you that I belong to you and you belong to me which means no matter what my love this
heart will only beat for you so my love...just be mine” Draco spoke all softly as Luna nodded her head
while she pulled Draco up and hugged him tightly.
“YES...YES...YES...YES,” Luna spoke excitedly as she jumped a little while she kept on hugging Draco
who wrapped his arm around Luna’s waist. He pecked her lips as he took the ring from the box while
he threw the box at Jace who caught it.
Draco slipped the ring on Luna’s ring finger as everyone felt the cold air hit them all when it suddenly
calmed down while the ring that was glowing green and black stopped as well making Luna smile.
“Aww” Juliet and Alyssa spoke as Draco walked back with Luna while he kissed the crown of her head.
The crowd cheered as Alex and Jace walked and stood next to their friends while Luna smiled at Alex
who smiled back at her.
“HEY SHOULDN’T THE GIRLS ALSO GIVE THE MARRIAGE RINGS? ISNT IT VAMPIRE MATING
RULE?” A girl yelled as Alyssa, Luna, and Juliet’s eyes widened while they glanced at Alex who
nodded his head.
‘Calm down let’s see what they say’ Alex spoke telepathically in Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna’s head while
the girls slowly nodded their heads.
“Our future daughters are humans so vampire rule doesn’t apply to them” Michael spoke as he glanced
at Gavin who nodded his head and walked towards the guards to warn them about catching the people
who were doing this.
“Hah! I REMEMBER THIS RULE BEING COMPULOSY THAT ONE MATE HAS TO SAY SOMETHING
TO THE OTHER IN TURNS AND GIVE EACH OTHER RINGS” Another girl spoke as Luna who shook
his head to a no.
“If you know the rules oh so well bring yourself forward” Jace spoke as no one took a step forward.
“That’s what I thought” Jace rolled his eyes as Alex glanced at him and shook his head.
“WELL THESE HUMANS AREN’T MATED TO THE PRINCE” A boy now spoke as Alyssa, Luna, and
Juliet glanced at Alex who nodded his head as he pointed at the clutch while they understood what
Alex gave them.
