"I am the Omega from Alpha Hudson's pack"
'Wow!! They are right, Liam was right after all. My mate was going to be another version of me. She is quite bold' Eric thought and then snapped out of it and further said,
"Since you are a powerful werewolf, do you feel drawn to me? Cause I do. When our eyes met last night my wolf said you are my mate did any of that happen to you too?"
"Actually yes, I felt it last night as well"
"Oh great no need for formalities then since you are my mate"
Ariana blushed to hear this said,
"Okay no need for formalities, then. Tell me about yourself handsome"
"Okay, listen up. I am the beta of Alpha Liam's pack and his childhood friend."
"So why are you out here at the border?"
"It's a long story but not a good one"
"Okay I won't ask about that, I will wait until you tell me. So when are you going home? Or do you want to spend more time with me?" Ariana asked seductively Eric could only chuckle at her words
"I'll return when the time is right Ariana. And you need something nice to wear even if you are my mate you can't go around butt naked with a blanket come into my tent and have a change of clothes" Eric said and walked towards his tent without waiting for Ariana's answer Ariana had no choice but to follow him although Eric didn't have any outfits for girls he decided to give her one of his
"Wear this" Eric said giving her the clothes
"Thank you," Ariana said
"I'll wait outside for you okay?"
"You can stay if you want Eric, I'm used to stripping off in front of people now why would I feel shy in front of my mate who kindly offered me something to wear," Ariana said jokingly
"Don't worry I'll wait outside for you" he said touching her hair Ariana could only smile at him walking out of his tent.
Eric could see one of Liam's assistants whom he assigned to watch over the mansion and whom he had specifically instructed not to let anyone in without a valid reason bowing slightly to Eric he asked anxiously and angrily
"What are you doing here John?" Eric asked displeased
"Actually beta the Alpha sent for you the Alpha's sister has given birth and the Luna is awake" John reported
"Thank you, you may head back now," Eric said and John bowed respectfully and left Eric began to smile at himself and ran back in to hug Ariana.
"Someone is happy, what's up?"
"Actually remember it's a long story and it isn't at all good? Now it's all good baby"
"Wow!! Now my mate is warming up to me. This is great news, can I get a kiss then?"
"Nope not yet, will give it to you in a special way, let's get ready to go home... I guess you won't be needing these clothes when we get to town you'll have to change in my room there is an outfit there"
"Wow, I can't wait to see what it looks like, but then I want to ask something about the Alpha's wife, can I?"
"Yeah sure, what is it? What do you wish to know?"
"Is Luna a certain Clara Cooper?"
"Yeah, exactly why is she?"
"Um remember I told you I was sent a mission before I was taken by Axel?"
"Yeah I recall, what about that?"
"The daughter of the Hudson's that I was sent to watch over turned out to be Alpha Liam's mate and Luna"
"What? She has another family. I thought the Coopers were hers?"
"It's a long story one I will tell you another day. Or better still tell Clara Hudson about her real identity"
"Okay I will let you tell me or us when you are ready, we better head back to town tonight. There is a course for celebration and my Alpha needs me you know how it is duty calls. Who knows we might be celebrated as well because I found my mate"
"Ha-ha silly let's spend a little time together before we head to town"
"Hmm, someone seems to be a little naughty."
"You can't blame me for this, I am being drawn to you," She said seductively to Eric and walked up to him and sat on his lap and they both had a hot session of kisses. It was the first time Eric felt that way.
~~~~~~
Liam was with Clara all day, clinging to her and hugging her so tightly, that he doesn't want to be without her. He has missed hugging her so tightly like that.
So he carried her into the bathroom and helped her into a hot bath. And washed her up and dressed her himself. He doesn't want her to get more stressed. She has been through a lot these past few months. So he ordered for a wheelchair to be brought to him so that she can walk around since it will take a week for her to be up on her feet. Tonight is the time for celebration, the celebration that she is back with them and also the fact that his little sister gave birth to twins. He now has two nephews, and also his wife is alive and well. It is a course for celebration.
"Honey tonight is your night, everyone is waiting for your arrival. Welcome home Darling"
"Thank you, honey"
While Gabe was downstairs dressing up his wife as well. They are now parents, not just to one kid but to two. His joy knows no bounds.
Just then Liam's door opened and Eric walked in and immediately ran up to Clara and hugged her.
"I miss you, little sis, I am so sorry" Clara hugged him tightly she has been trying not to tear up but seeing Eric she cried heartily on his shoulders saying
"I thought I would never get to see you again Eric I have missed you so much"
"I missed you more Clara please dry your tears, I don't want to see you tear up, okay sis? Now dry your tears, the party is yours. Welcome home"
Just then someone walked in, a beautiful goddess. And bows down before Clara and Alpha Liam. This got them all surprised.
"Eric, who is she?" Liam was a little bit shocked at her entry and the way she bowed after seeing Clara. Hers was a new face.
"She is Ariana, and my mate" Eric said introducing Ariana to the duo
"Congratulations Eric see I told you she'd be pretty," Clara said hugging Eric
"Thanks, little sis" Eric said
"Congratulations Eric my man I'm so happy for you but how did you find her?" Liam asked
"Well fate brought her to me" Eric answered plainly since he was not a man of many words "I better go check up on Gabe and Jasi I'll be back," Eric said and held Ariana's hands they both walked out of Liam's room
"Did Eric just hold her hands?" Liam asked looking perplexed at the new and possessive Eric
"Can you just let him be, someone was more possessive when he found his mate" Clara said
"But mine was different okay," Liam said defending himself
"How so you didn't even allow me to hug Gabe back then," Clara said folding her hands in front of her chest
"Okay fine I admit I'm more possessive but only when it comes to you," Liam said looking longingly at Clara "How I've missed you," he said kissing her forehead
"I too" Clara said
~~~~~~
Back in Gabe's room, Eric knocked on the door and Gabe's voice can be heard asking whoever was at the door to come in Eric entered the room
"Eric" Gabe exclaimed
"Hi Gabe, Jasi" he ran to hug her
"Congratulations my dear I've missed my happy Jasi" Eric said
"I've missed you too Eric I thought you left us," Jasmine said still in his embrace
"I'm never going to leave my Best friend and his little sister I'll always be here for you Jasi" just then Ariana walked in
"Hello" she greeted
"Hi" Gabe managed to answer
"Who is she?" Jasmine asked pulling out of the hug
"Oh guys this is Ariana my mate"
"Hmm congratulations Eric now I'm jealous" Gabe commented which made Jasmine's face wrinkle
"What are you implying?" Jasmine asked angrily
"Nothing at all my love I'm just kidding," Gabe said
"Good," Jasmine said "congratulations Eric and you too Ariana I mean it, took Eric long enough"
"Thanks dear ah you all need to get ready for the party I do too but first I want to see my nephews," Eric said and then went to the place they were both laid
"They are adorable it's a good thing they didn't take after their father's scary face," Eric said mockingly
"Thanks, Eric," Gabe said understanding his words
"I have to go now," Eric said and he and Ariana left their room this time Eric headed for his room
"Hmm you have quite a nice taste" Ariana complemented
"Thanks," Eric said and then brought out a dress for Ariana
"Wow it's beautiful but I'm kind of jealous. Who was this for?" Ariana asked
"There's no need to be jealous it was just a dress I wanted to throw out since the person it would have originally belonged to didn't need it I decided to keep it maybe it was meant to be yours from the start," he said nonchalantly
"Anyways keep admiring your dress I'll go take a shower before the party," Eric said walking towards the bathroom but his hands were held by Ariana
"What?" He asked raising an eyebrow
"I want to join you" Ariana stated plainly Eric gulped down at her words
"Okay if you want to take a shower first you can go ahead but don't stay long," Eric said trying to ignore Ariana's words
"It's either I go in there with you or none of us goes in," Ariana said naughtily already taking off her clothes Eric noticing that Ariana wasn't going to let him be, finally said
"Okay fine"
"Yes" Ariana jumped and hugged him but he wasn't really expecting her to hug him and so they both fell Ariana seeing him surprised and about to get up on his feet said
"Let's stay like this for a while the party's not starting till later" Ariana said mischievously
Holding her face and kissing her forehead he whispered into her ears
"I know what you are trying to do but it won't work I'm not going to let you seduce me not now at least let's wait till after the party" Eric then got up pulling her up as well
"Let's go take a shower or you don't feel like it anymore?" Eric asked but Ariana said nothing but then moved towards him and began taking his clothes off
"What are you doing?"
"You are not taking a shower with your clothes on are you?" Ariana asked and then taking a step closer she whispered
"It's a promise after the party" and then she began taking off his clothes again
"Let's head to the bathroom first before you take off the rest," Eric said and left her hurriedly Ariana smiled seeing him like that, and then followed him.
~~~~~
Eric and Ariana finally got dressed and they went to Liam's room he was already dressed as well as Clara
"You look beautiful Ariana" Clara complemented
"Thank you" looking more at Clara she could see her mother in her she took after Luna Hannah but the eyes of that of Alpha Hudson, smiling at Clara said
"You too I'm glad you are getting better" While Liam and Eric were busy talking
"So umm I want to make a very important announcement at the party"
"And what is that?" Eric asked confused
"I'm going to make Gabe my omega"
"Oh that would be nice it's high time he became one of us," Eric said
"Hey buddy"
"What dude?"
"I am so sorry I neglected you during those times, I knew you were not happy. But my heart was broken and my spirit gone. It was like I lost everything of importance to me. My little one, someone I hold so dear didn't get the chance to see it come to life it hurts man, I am just trying to be strong but I don't know how long I can keep this charade and my woman was right there lying down not knowing when she was going to wake up you know how much I adore her right?"
"I understand that and am sorry too, I had to go to the border to stay sane couldn't watch you, Gabe, and Jasi being that way so I had to go"
"At least something good came out of it, you found your mate, a very beautiful and strong one. I feel she has a strong aura. What pack is she from?"
"She has something to say to everyone. I am sure she will include that, it's best if everyone heard about it from her cause she said she will let us know everything after the party. Come on let's head down, the town needs their alpha and Luna to open the ceremony. It is in your favor after all"
"Yeah let's head to the town square," Liam said and then went towards where Clara was and carried her in a bridal style. Then Eric carried her wheelchair so that she won't stress herself and Ariana followed the trio from behind.
~~~~~
Liam walked up to the podium after placing his wife in the wheelchair on the stage. Then he began his speech.
"Everyone good evening"
"Yay Alpha... Luna...Alpha... Luna" were the chants that could be heard after the crowd saw them.
So Liam continued his speech
"Today we celebrate a lot of things. For almost a year, we've lost a lot of things. Life was meaningless for me and all of you, our happy town became almost like some graveyard. No sounds of chatting around the fire, no training. Everything paused because of the pain inflicted on us by some riffraff’s. We mourned for months. Our families who were sent to guard our pregnant Luna on that unfortunate day both died on the spot by some rogues. As if that was not enough our Luna was kidnapped and then the pregnancy was lost, after being tortured mercilessly for months. And then she was placed into a coma, but tonight we have all decided to make everyone's night be filled with happiness. So today we smile and dine, because our dear and beloved Luna has been found and is very much alive and awake. She is here with us today everyone I present to you, Clara Shawn your Luna."
Everywhere bustled, everyone became happy as Luna moved forward in her wheelchair to address everyone.
"Hi, everybody, my lovely subject, and pack, how much I have missed you all. I thought I would never see this day but thank the moon goddess for bringing me back here. Tonight we celebrate and have fun because I am back. I love you all, have a great night" Clara said and everyone and everywhere was bustling with excitement. And then a chant came up saying
"Long live our beautiful Luna." And everyone else presents chanted
"Long live Luna Clara"
And so Liam went back again to the podium to give yet another speech.
"Everyone we still have three more reasons to celebrate tonight, my beloved sister was born today, not just to one child, but to two adorable kids they have been named and I will leave that to their parents to announce. Everyone Jasmine and Gabe"
So Gabe and Jasmine moved forward and Jasmine held the one who came out first while Gabe held onto the last one. So she raised one upwards announcing saying
"The one who came out first, his name is Franklin a short form of Frank"
Everyone including the midwives and Marisa all jubilated.
Then Gabe moved forward and also said.
"The second one, the patient one, the one who came out last, his name is Francis"
Everyone jumped up in excitement. It was really a night to remember for a Long time. So Liam came back yet again to address the crowd.
"My pack, the third and fourth reason why we are here is because there are two more exciting news stories. Are you all ready to listen?"
"Yes Alpha, yes" was a loud roar of affirmation giving him the go-ahead to tell them what they are so he said,
"Today starting from this very minute the father of Frank and Francis is now my and your Omega"
"Wooohooo" Whistles were blown and others were still waiting for the fourth reason as to why they needed to celebrate tonight.
This took both Gabe and Jasmine by surprise so Gabe tapped on Eric since he wasn't fazed by any of this he must have known so he asked him,
"Did you know about this?"
"But of course Omega, he told me he would be naming you his omega tonight. Come on you deserve it and besides, it's high time you became one of us officially" Eric replied Gabe who was about to explode with excitement. That he hugged Eric so tightly, he surely missed him
