Mia’s POV

As soon as the breakfast ended, Beta Daniel had announced that it was time to commence the Pack Bond Ceremony to connect Bloodmoon Pack to Silver Lining pack and Alpha Alessio. Everyone had gathered in the pack field.

Beta Daniel was almost the same height as Liam. With his dark skin, light stubble, military cut hair he looked like someone very serious but that constant amused smile on his face betrayed his appearance and showed his playful side quite openly instead. With the heat down on us in the ground, even though it was still a bit chilly, he wore a black west and black cargo pants with white sports shoes.

Most of the pack members stood on the sidelines, Beta Daniel stood on the stage. I was standing on the other side of the ground, leaning against a pillar, away from everyone. There were eyes on me, and whispers, but I kept my eyes on the ground and remained silent.

I could see the excitement and nervousness on their faces, anticipating the process of pack binding. The air in the place was thick with it. The scent of it made my stomach turn.

“I think this is happening for good. This is our new start with a sexy new alpha.” Olivia giggled excitedly, hanging onto the arm of Alicia, one of her close friends.

“Me too. This is the first time we will see something like this happen to our pack. Imagine the new hotties that will come in here now after we are united as one.” Alicia grinned.

“You know who I want. All others are just eye candies anyway.” Olivia smirked, her eyes twinkling brightly.

Alicia giggled at her words, “of course I do. He might be coming out soon.”

For a brief second my eyes slid to Liam who was standing behind everyone, alone, emotionless. He had come to stand next to me when I had come to the ground but I had moved away immediately. After what had happened yesterday, I absolutely did not want to face him at all. I already had had enough of crappy days within the past forty-eight hours, maybe half a lifetime of pain, tragedy and traumas had been inflicted on my mind in these past few hours. I did not have the strength to fight or argue or even spare a glance at anyone.

“Attention. Alpha is here.” Beta Daniel announced at the stage as Alpha Alessio crossed the main door and came to stand in front of everyone, on the high stage. From where I stood, I could see him clearly and if he turned his face to the left, he would see me at first glance.

I shivered, my palms tightening on my arms self consciously.

I hadn’t seen him since our last encounter. The way he had looked at me yesterday, his words rang inside my head constantly, making it practically impossible for me to get any sleep at all. He hated me, it was clear as day from his words and his eyes. He despised me and felt disgusted by me.

Even though he had rejected me so cruelly, I still could not help but stare at him. His face was set in a grim expression. Aloof, but arrogant. For someone taking over a very large pack without any bloodshed at all, he looked quite unhappy by the look on his face.

I wondered if he also felt something like me in his heart right now. This hollow, sad feeling making me think that I might never feel happiness again. Never feel what love is ever again.
