Sold to the Cold Lycan King (Gemini and Asher) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Pierre’s POV

It’s been exactly one month since my dad died, which automatically makes it the day I Mark Dora Elvis as my mate and then become the Alpha of Moonrock Pack.

I let out a heavy sigh as I watched my reflection in the mirror.

In the past month, my life has not been the best. And it’s so sad that I might have to get used to it, cause once I become Alpha, that would be my normal life.

As I entered the grand hall, the murmur of conversations ceased, and all eyes turned to me. I scanned the room, acknowledging the familiar faces of pack members, dignitaries, and neighbouring pack leaders.

“Even the smallest smile would do,” my mom whispered as she adjusted my suit.

I forced a smile and she nodded in approval, “Congratulations in advance son.”

The ceremony began, and Elder Thompson’s voice boomed through the hall.

Today, we gather to witness the mating of Pierre Wilson and Dora Elvis. A union that will strengthen our pack’s alliances and secure our future.”

I glanced at Dora, her eyes shining with excitement.

But my thoughts drifted to Gemini.

The memory of her tears, her pain, still lingered.

What had she been up to?

Had she moved on?

I couldn’t help but think back to the day she went missing and then returned home bathed in another man’s scent.

The elder’s words snapped me back to reality.

“Pierre Wilson, do you accept Dora Elvis as your mate, promising to protect and cherish her?”

I took a deep breath.

“I do.”

Dora’s smile faltered for a moment, but she recovered quickly.

“Dora Elvis, do you accept Pierre Wilson as your mate, promising to stand by his side as Alpha?”

“I do,” she replied, her voice steady.

The elder pronounced us mated, and the hall erupted in applause.

As I turned to Dora, our lips met in a perfunctory kiss.

Moving on to the next thing on the list, it was time to be crowned Alpha,

I was just a few seconds from being the Alpha of Moonrock Pack.

But at what cost?

Gemini’s POV

I stood at the back of the hall, observing the ceremony with a mix of emotions.

Gavin’s whispered comment caught my attention.

“I don’t know if I’m the only one who sees this, but Pierre doesn’t look happy at all.” His thoughts surprisingly resonated with mine.

I nodded silently, sharing his sentiment

Pierre’s expression seemed forced, his smile lacking its usual warmth

As the elder pronounced Pierre and Dora mated, I felt a pang in my chest.

Why did it still hurt?

I thought I’d moved on

“Gemini! Gemini!”

My eyes went from Gavin to my mom several times, how was I supposed to tell them that I puked on the Lycan King and that he was probably here to punish me?
