Belong to the Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 1

Lilac looked so beautiful this morning, as she stood next to Luna Jasmine and Alpha James at the entrance gates of the Golden Claw pack.

Behind them, there were a lot of people, waiting for their own family members, who had joined the war against the lycans, to return.

“I can see them,” Luna Jasmine gasped as she held Lilac’s hand so tightly. Her eyes were filled with tears of happiness, so were Lilac's. Her face was a mixture of nerves and anticipation.

She couldn’t wait to see her mate.

That was right. She was Aidan’s destined mate. The main character of today's event and the next in line for the Alpha of this pack.

“Yes, I can see them too, mother,” Lilac replied, she squeezed Luna Jasmine’s hand tightly. They held onto each other for support, as the relief and happiness flooded their beings.

Lilac was an orphan, thus when Luna Jasmine told her to call her ‘mother’, that was the best moment in her life. It came just second to the moment she met Aidan for the first time and both of them realized they were each other’s mates.

“There! It’s Aidan!” Lilac pointed her finger at the crowd that moved closer to them steadily. The bright sunlight behind them acted as their background, creating long shadows in front of them. Aidan was leading around a thousand warriors behind him.

If Lilac could, she would have rushed toward Aiden and hugged him tightly. Being apart for a year was a long time for newly found mates, because Aiden went to the battlefield just two weeks after they met with each other.

After that, only by letters were they able to continue their communication. It was hard, but they made it in the end, or so Lilac thought.

However, she couldn’t do something out of impulse, since there were so many people around and she was the future luna of the pack, so she needed to watch her behavior carefully.

When the long entourage came closer and Aiden dismounted his horse, he went straight to his father to report that he had completed his duty.

“I am so proud of you,” Alpha James said, as he hugged his son and the crowd cheered for them loudly, not long after which they welcomed their family members.

“Mother,” Aiden called for his mother and Luna Jasmine went to hug her son tightly. She teared up and kept saying how much she missed him and how glad she was to see him again.

Meanwhile, Lilac was very nervous to wait for her turn, she felt so overwhelmed with the realization that she didn’t need to wait for him anymore, or his letters, because now, he was already here. Her mate. They would spend the rest of their lives together, or so she thought.

And when it was Lilac’s turn, she went to him with open arms, ready to hug her mate, but Aiden took a step back to avoid her and averted his gaze.
