Cold Hearted Mate
Chapter 73

In the festival...

There were plenty of booths installed inside; from food to different types of booths for everyone to enjoy. There were Amusement rides, gaming area, sports area, musical area and a lot of things that are expected for everyone's entertainment and enjoyment. By the entrance of the location of the event, Elaine notices Blake's gloomy disposition. Ever since the day they spent in the orphanage, Blake has been gloomy and depressed. Elaine could no longer contain her concern for Blake. She started to approach Blake and tried to cheer him up.

"Hey there! Sad face! Any plans for today?" Elaine asked Blake in a teasing manner.

Only silence was the response of Blake to Elaine.

"Earth to Blake! Yoohoo!"

"Oh, I did not know you were trying to talk to me." Blake finally replied to Elaine.

Elaine heaved for a deep sigh before giving Blake an honest reality check.

"I know you are going through a hard time being rejected but you should learn how to accept things and move on with your life. Because whether you like it or not, Louve and Alpha Connor will not stop being in love and celebrate their own happiness just because you are hurt. Life must go on." A direct speech of Elaine.

Blake looked at her and said, "Easy for you to say! You have not felt the feeling of being rejected."

"You forgot the fact that there is someone meant for you as well. It is unfair that you only invest your emotions and your entire heart to someone who is already destined for someone else as well. Your future mate deserves the whole, entire and complete Blake... not this broken one!" Elaine further explained to the heart broken Blake.

Few minutes after...

"The two of you! The Alpha has arrived at the plaza, the opening remarks are about to start!" Ben informed the two who were talking under the shade of a tree. Each member of the Dark Moon Pack was eager and excited for the start of the festival.

For the longest time, there has been no celebration in the wolf pack. This was something that gave everyone such anticipation and exuding positivity.

"Let us get moving already! Things are about to start." Elaine told Blake.

"Yeah, I will follow in a minute. Just give me some time to sulk a little bit more."

Elaine wanted to leave Blake alone but there was something inside her that she could not leave this heartbroken guy on his own.

She lay down on the grass beside Blake.

"Just wake me up when you are ready to go." Last words of Elaine to Blake.

A smile formed in Blake's face despite the pain of being rejected.

ལ

Alpha Connor stood in front of all the members of the Dark Moon Pack with Louve and other elite officers standing in support of him.

"There will be an announcement by the end of the day. I think someone wants to announce something after this fun occasion which involves me as well."

Even though Alpha Connor is not yet finished with his speech, people are starting to whisper around and wonder who will have that authority and such an important role to announce something which involves their Alpha. "Why would someone else announce something important and not Alpha Connor?"

"Yeah."

"Who would that be, is that person so important to even have a moment over our Alpha Connor?"

"Maybe it is about a royal issue? Have you heard? There is apparently a turmoil in the royal court based on the latest news."

Loud whispers from the audience while Alpha Connor continued in his speech, though he was actually referring to Louve's request, which is before the first day ends, she wanted to be the one to announce to the rest of the members of the Dark Moon Pack that she is in fact the mate of Alpha Connor and their future Luna. She intends to reveal to everyone her true identity.

There were other warriors, staff members and elite officers who already knew about the truth due to the recent events that occurred about the sudden attack from the dark creatures but Alpha Connor made the others swear and sign non-disclosure agreements to keep everything on the down low. And respect the wishes of their future Luna.

Alpha Connor continued his speech.

"There are a lot of things that happened recently. I can enumerate them one by one but someone told me... what is the point of staying in the past and lingering on the horrors of our own mistakes? I must admit, I was caged in the nightmares and hatred from the past. Locking myself in that hatred did not make everything better. So imagine the days I have wasted in that anger and hatred." From this point on he thought about the words from Louve while looking at the crowd.

"Tomorrow was made not to be wasted, instead it is a hope for all of us to look forward to a better day. That is why, with all the negativity that we are currently experiencing right now. I think everyone deserves a day or two for the best getaway that anyone could experience in their life.

From this day forth, I declare today as Dark Moon Pack's Blessed Luna Holiday and an annual celebration that will be held every year. A day of festivity for hope of a better year and appreciation of the things that we have today.

There will be a lightning of lanterns before the midnight strikes and after the important announcement. So, think of your hopes and wishes for the next year and more years to come! We will light them all together and send them to the moon. Does everyone have their wishes ready? I hope that I could be inserted in those wishes of yours. After all, I am your one and only Alpha King... or maybe not." Alpha Connor smiling and uplifting the spirits of his fellow members of Dark Moon Pack. Everyone laughed and was positively responsive with their Alpha King.

Beta Dolf, watched the Alpha radiate so much positivity and realized the transformation of him. He started to look at Louve and Alpha Connor, and he pondered...

"Oh, our dear creator, please look after these two souls. They have become light towards each other's life. I fervently ask for you to keep them in each other's arms because they deserve all the happiness in this world."

The memories of the first time they met Louve and the days before Alpha Connor met Louve. It all flashed back on Dolf's mind. There were a lot of differences from the past and present. And there were a lot of changes that took place for the two lovers. After Alpha Connor's long speech, everyone clapped and cheered louder for their Alpha Connor more than ever.

Behind him was his newly formed Golden Crew with Elaine who was panting for being late.

A complete rejoicing moment where everyone celebrated for their Alpha King.

Right after Alpha Connor left the podium he stood, people were going in their own way too and starting to head their way to celebrate the day on their own.

Even though they are celebrating, Alpha Connor and his elite officers have learned the hard way not to lower their defenses. The warriors are given shifting duties so that they could both celebrate and do their duties as well.

Hours have passed...

A festival mood filled the entire town of Dark Moon Pack. Such laughter and joy was all over the town. Everyone was having a good time in their respective choice of activity.

Louve requested Alpha Connor to join her to ride the Ferris wheel. Alpha Connor had to contact outsiders just to install this ride as part of a celebration in their festivities. It is something that only in the community of humans has this kind of ride. Werewolf communities do not have time for circuses or even having attention towards amusement rides. Since the main focus of most of the wolf packs were survival and getting stronger than the other wolf packs.

"Let's go! I wanted to ride this one badly. This is my first time to ride one!" Excitedly expressed by Louve.

"Okay, let's go."

Alpha Connor only smiled at the sight of Louve acting childish for the first time they have been together.

Both of them were riding capsule-like shapes made up of steel, this ride goes round and round for a few minutes. Though, the scary part for others was the height of the Ferris wheel.

"You really enjoy this kind of stuff!" Alpha Connor said to Louve while his two hands were holding on separately to the opposite steel walls of their ride.

Louve chuckled and covered her laugh at the sight of her mate. The strong, tough and ruthless Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack...

"Looking not so tough and ruthless anymore?" Louve teasing Alpha Connor.

Once it reaches the peak of its height, despite the breath-taking view and scenery, a daunting sight as well from above to below is beholden to the eyes of each passenger of the capsule ride from the Ferris wheel.

It is truly an unforgettable experience for the first time passengers of these rides. And not so great for the others like Alpha Connor.

"Connor, try to relax! We are not gonna fall. Just look at the horizon and the scenery. Not below!" Louve tried to comfort Alpha Connor.

Then after a few moments, the motion of the Ferris wheel stopped.

There are times that a pause takes place as part of the suspense riding the Ferris wheel. At its halted momentum, Alpha Connor became even more nervous.

Louve decided to transfer beside her mate. Alpha Connor was surprised to see Louve transfer seats and sat beside him. She even held his hand and made him feel comfortable.

This moment made Alpha Connor feel some fluttering feeling deep within him. Holding Louve's hand and looking deep into her eyes.

He held her hand tightly and confessed to her his fluttering feelings at the moment.

"Louve... I am so thankful that you came into my life." Alpha Connor expressed his genuine feelings towards her.

"I also feel the same way." Louve replied and gently caressed Alpha Connor's face.

From that point on, Alpha Connor could no longer contain the true feelings and words that he wanted to say to his mate.

"I love you Louve... more than this wretched life of mine."

Instead of saying those three words back to Alpha Connor, to utter "I love you" back to the Alpha.

Louve reached for Alpha Connor and kissed him with all her feelings for him. Alpha Connor returned the kiss with so much passion. Under the sunset, they kissed filled with love for one another.

If only someone would see how much passion and love beneath their kiss... anyone would melt.

Behind such happiness and festive mood, the two lovers are unaware of the fast-approaching danger towards the Dark Moon Pack...
