I was Kidnapped for Revenge by a Ruthless Alpha-Chapter 178: The Marking pt 1

***Authors note: Sorry for the long awaited update. New Years was super busy. We took my son on a train to see Christmas lights. After I had to take my home decorations down. School started again for my son. Life’s just been busy. But here’s to a new year and to volume 2.

~Odette~

"My King, we beg you! Mark our Luna!" The crowd cheered, they were ready to celebrate this moment with me. I had been accepted and that changed everything.

Ambrose looked at me, his eyes expressed lust and admiration. His hunger for me for all consuming and looked insatiable. I could see Onyx rising to the surface, Ambrose’s eyes flashed a brilliant, vibrant gold.

He reached out and pulled me to him. My body colliding with his rock hard chest. The warmth of his body was pressing into me. I could feel every rippling ab under his shirt, and it made me wet between my legs. And I know he can smell it. My arousal. He didn’t need to read my feelings or thoughts. My scent said everything it needed too.

Ambrose moved brushed my hair to the side brought his face up to my neck and the warmth of his breath made me shiver. His lips felt tender pressing against the crook of my neck.

My heart was racing; it hammered against my ribs and thundered in my ears. I could feel all the eyes in this room on me, staring with anticipation. My nervous were screaming and my anxiety was in full swing. But somewhere underneath it all, I was ready. I wanted this.

I wanted him. All of him

To be a part of his world, have his babies, spend the rest of my life with him.

At this moment I wanted nothing more than to connect with him.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and let my body relax in his arms.

The sharp tip of his teeth grazed my skin before finding a spot and piercing with ease.

I gasped and at first it was painful; the bite burned, it felt like fire was burning through my veins pouring into every inch of my body. I could feel connections being built, it was charged and electrifying. My every cell felt like it was firing off rapidly.

The burning from the bite subsided, and a soothing warmth followed.

The crowd held their breath; I could feel the quiet excitement that screamed from them. I could feel myself naturally pulling energy from him, feeding from him. Using it to heal my mark.

Ambrose pulled back, his smiled widened, a look of pride rested on his face.

He held me closer I felt like our heart were beating as one. Everything was in sync.

Exhaustion overtook me and I collapsed into his arms, and he held me so tight, like I was the only thing in the entire world that mattered.

"You did well, my luna queen."

His words filled me with happiness and bliss; the connection we had before was stronger. But this was even stronger. It was like a direct connection to him and him to me.

The room erupted in cheers and applauded. Howls echoed in the ballroom.

My family stood in the back corner watching and smiling.

And my daddy. He looked pleased. He held a flattened expression, but I could see it in the corner, hiding behind a practiced mask, a smile. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

He was pleased.

"We will have a formal wedding soon, and it will be a grand celebration!" Ambrose announced to the room and the volume got even louder.

Ambrose walked me over to his throne, and with a wave, a man entered from the side door wheeling in a new throne.

It looked just like his, but instead of gold it was silver. The top was shaped like antlers, and swirls of silver intertwined, weaving beautifully to the top of the throne connecting to the antlers and the center of them was a circular carved moonstone. I could tell it was meant to symbolize the moon goddess.

"Wow, I’m speechless." I muttered to him. My hands covering my mouth with a pleased surprise. My insides fluttered, feeling all giddy inside.

"I had hoped so." He gently touched my cheek with the back of his fingers. Tracing down to my jaw, lifting my chin, and pressing his lips gently to mine, their touch lingering for a moment.

He pulled back and took my hand leading to my seat beside him.

"Long live Luna Queen Odette!" Ambrose rose our hands, tightly locked showing unwavering unity.

"Long live the Luna Queen!" The crowed called out together.

I loved this man. With my whole soul, I loved all of him, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The party went on for hours, and I watched my family mingle with shifters. All except Uncle Jeremy, who stood cautious and alert in the corner with Tia Rosa. He was doing his best to mask the disgust on his face. Which I appreciated.

We would work on him. He married a half blooded vampire, despite his old prejudice. He could be molded. I was confident, I could fix him.

My gaze shifted around, finding Delilah actually standing with a three she shifters. Blending right in. Their interaction was natural, easy, not forced.

Arya didn’t come, I’m assuming she stayed with Kalvin. I beat him pretty bad, I heard he broke a few bones. I don’t regret hurting him. But I’m glad I didn’t set him on fire.

Uncle Oliver was flirting hard with a shifter by the bar, sipping champagne. His smile was bright and full of life.

When the party came to an end Ambrose rose from his seat together, we thanked and said goodbye to the guests. It felt so natural beside him, I was never really trained to rule, just fight and survive. Yet next to him, it was like I was born for this role. For him.

We never revealed the fact vampires were among them tonight, but the way they all connected, it was proof that a partnership between our two species could be made.
