Luna Aleksa's Escape
Luna Aleksa’s Escape Chapter 29

*Aleksa POV*

As Liam, Layla and I walked down the staircase on our way to the kitchen, I could smell the fresh pine scent getting stronger. I could hear voices coming from the kitchen, and I knew Kingston was in there. I was still on cloud nine after that k**s, that mind blowing k**s that sent electricity zapping all over my body. It was soft and delicate but then at the same time it was intense and unrelentingly passionate.

Liam and Layla burst through the kitchen door in excitement rushing for Kingston and Asher, wrapping their arms around their legs and asking to be spun in the air. I chuckle to myself wondering if they realize what they had started. They didn’t seem to mind though. I walked over to the counter and greeted Rose. She was placing the pancakes on the platter with bacon and fresh berries.

“Good morning Rose, can I help you with breakfast?” I ask sincerely. I’m not big on being waited on. I don’t see why we can’t all feed ourselves, being that we are all grown adults. I guess being that I was raised and lived most of my life as a human, I will probably never completely understand pack politics.

“Good morning Aleksa, thank you for your offer but, breakfast is ready now, please take a seat in the dining room.” Rose tells me with a sweet smile on her face.

“It looks amazing as always Rose,” I tell her as I grab a platter to carry into the kitchen, “come on Liam and Layla, follow mommy” I tell them as I usher them into the other room with a large platter in my hands.

Kingston follows my lead and grabs two platters to take into the dining room, he speeds up a little to catch up with me. “Good morning gorgeous,” He says to me with a charming grin on his face, as usual he smells divine and I feel a light blush creep over my cheeks as I place the platter in the middle of the table, trying to contain the huge smile that is escaping.

I would say good morning to him, but we have already done that, this morning on the balcony. So I say, “yes, it is a good morning isn’t it?” to Kingston with a cheeky smile on my face. I go to place the twins in seats, ready for breakfast, but Kingston beats me to it, and tells me to take a seat, and eat.

I bite down on my l*p and decide against arguing with him, and I watch as he tends to the twins. I take a moment to watch the scenario unfold. How did I get this lucky I thought to myself. Kingston seems too good to be true. He’s so caring and kind, and the way he treats my pups as if they were his own is so hot. Although I once thought the same of Lachlan and look how that turned out. I had told myself I would try to let my emotional baggage go and give him a chance, but it was still early days, and I couldn’t let myself get too invested.

I was getting ready for the initiation ceremony, and I was just putting the finishing touches on my make up. A package had been left for me on my bed when I arrived back in my room after lunch, when I came up to put the twins down for their afternoon nap. There was a beautiful dress and some stunning heels to wear to the ceremony, as well as some makeup and hair products. Which was a godsend because I had nothing decent to wear.

I looked in the mirror, the dress was long and tight fitting with a long split that went right up my thigh. It was a cami maxi style dress, and the heels wrapped up to my calf muscles, they were a gorgeous silver color. My make up was simple, a little mascara, some tinted moisturiser topped off with cherry red lips. “Not too shabby Aleksa,” Amber (my wolf) said wolf whistling and laughing in my head. “We need to dress like this more often!” Amber tells me.

“Yes, well it’s not everyday we join a new pack, Amber,” I said to her. “I hope they like us,” I said to Amber, suddenly feeling a little nervous about meeting the whole pack. “Relax girl, they will accept us, this pack is different, I can feel it. We are finally home Aleksa.” Amber tells me.

“Well we thought Evergreen was home too, Amber, and look how that turned out.” I remind Amber. “Girl Rocky Mountain is already different in so many ways. You will see, just give it time. I promise you, Kingston is nothing like Lachlan. And Sabre, is nothing like Cyrus.

“Sabre?” I ask. “Kingston’s wolf. He’s so hot! We’ve been talking!” Amber declares. “But how, we can’t mindlink, we aren’t even part of the pack yet?” I tell Amber. “All will be revealed in time Amber, come on, time to go, time to break our connection to that douchebag Lachlan and to Evergreen.”

I started approaching the door when I heard a knock. “Are you ready yet girl?” Kaia yelled. I opened the door, I was gobsmacked, Kaia looked absolutely stunning, she was wearing a white gown too, hers was simple yet elegant, with spaghetti straps, and tight fitting with a thigh high split also, but paired with white stilettos.

“Damn, girl, you scrub up nicely!” Kaia declared with mock surprise on her face.

“You can talk, you look like a goddess!” I tell her, looking her up and down. Making the hundred percent gesture with my hand.

“I was just about to check on Liam and Layla,” I say to Kaia. I didn’t have the twins with me right now, as Rose had said she would watch them for me while I got ready. I was happy to get ready with them, but she had insisted.

“Come on then, let’s go together!” Kaia says, grabbing my arms.

As we reached the lounge, downstairs, I saw Rose standing in front of the twins, looking quite happy with herself. She moved aside and there they were my two reasons for living, my little pups, all dressed up. Liam was wearing a mini tuxedo and Layla was dressed in a gorgeous flowing white gown with silver sandals, they were both looking so pleased with themselves.

I can’t believe how well dressed we all were. This pack was definitely spoiling us. We were all feeling very blessed. I looked up at the clock, realizing that we would need to leave right now to get there in time. We definitely couldn’t be late, being that it was our pack initiation ceremony.

“I wonder where Mason is?” I say looking at Kaia.

“Oh, Mason will be meeting us there, he had a meeting with Kingston and Quinn and the previous Alpha and Luna, before the ceremony. So we will meet him on the stage.

“Oh, okay, that’s fine, let’s get going then.” I say gesturing for the twins to follow me as we walk through the packhouse, and pack into one of the cars waiting for us outside the entrance. The training grounds aren’t far away, but we wouldn’t be walking in these heels and dresses.

In no time we arrived and nervously made our way to the entrance. The training grounds looked so different. Decorations were strewn and hanging everywhere, floral arrangements and white fabric hanging overhead, as if no expense was spared. There was a large marquee to the left with tables positioned in rows, with rustic floral centerpieces in the middle with wine glasses and tables placed on top, each table is covered in a crisp white table cloth, the chairs covered with white seat covers. It looks similar to what you would expect to replace at a wedding in a human town.

To the right is a stage which has a large archway stretching from one side to another with rustic themed floral arrangements hanging from it.

And below the stage is an empty patch of field where I imagine we will be standing for the ceremony.

I’m taken aback by the sheer effort that has gone into this event, it looks so time consuming and expensive. This pack must be quite wealthy to do this for an initiation ceremony. I had never experienced such extravagance before. Evergreen was a financially comfortable pack but these ceremonies generally took place in a field and afterwards everyone would get drunk and eat on the field, it was a pretty casual and low key affair.

I could see people were starting to arrive all at once, and were starting to congregate in front of the stage. Within about ten minutes the training grounds were packed. Before long Kinsgtson and Asher had taken their places on the stage, as had Quinn, accompanied by Mason, as well as the previous Alpha and Luna of this pack.

Kingston started talking to his pack members, telling them about the new members that were to pledge today. He called everyone onto the stage individually. Mason was first, Kingston took that moment to announce that he was also Quinn’s (the alpha female of the pack) fated mate. The entire pack applauded and called out celebrating this moment. Mason and Quinn kissed in front of everyone which made them all roar louder.

Next was Kaia, who took her place on the stage, made her pact with Kingston and was initiated into the pack. Another two members were initiated after that.

Then, Kingston paused and mentioned my name and asked me to accompany him on the stage. Kingston asked me if I was ready to break my connection with Evergreen and pledge allegiance to Rocky Mountain, and to accept him as my alpha. “Do you, Aleksa Petrov swear your loyalty and allegiance to the Rocky Mountain pack, thereby renouncing your loyalty and allegiance to your former pack, the Evergreen Pack?” Kingston asked me.

“I Aleksa Petrov, declare my loyalty and allegiance to Rocky Mountain Pack, and formally renounce my loyalty and allegiance with the Evergreen Pack.”

As I accepted his terms and pledged my loyalty to the Rocky Mountain Pack, Kingston holds a dagger in one hand and sliced his hand and then mine, and we mixed our b***d together, interlocking our fingers together.

It was at this moment that a strong power ran through my entire body. I felt my connection with Evergreen had completely disippated and felt a zap of energy from Kingston. I feel something I have never felt before: a sense of peace and belonging. I look up into Kingston’s eyes and his soul called out to me.

I felt Amber surface, and I could see Kingston’s wolf Sabre, start to surface in his eyes. I felt sparks igniting and small tingles throughout my body, like an exchange of energy was taking place. It was at this moment that a realization hit me.

“Mate!” Amber screamed fiercley in my head.

I stared at Kingston with my eyes widened and my mouth open in shock at what I had just said out loud. In front of Kingston, in front of everyone. I feel my heart hammering in my chest,and my breaths became shallow.

Kingston’s lips curl up into a knowing smile, and he growled “Mate!” and pulled my body towards him aggressively and assaulted my lips with his. Completely lost in the moment and in this overwhelmingly intense feeling I allowed my body to loosen into his grip and allowed him to dominate my mouth with his tongue. The way he was completely devouring me made me weak at the knees, but I didn’t fall because Kingston had me in his grip. So I just go with it.
