Nora

She stood in her room and all her things were gone from it, only the dress she was going to wear and the clothes she had on, everything else had been boxed up and moved from her room without anyone knowing. Jace had been with her for two solid hours and that had given her mother and father, her former Alpha Unit, the time to stroll up and down the omega stairs unseen by anyone at that hour of the night.

None of them held a pack tether to anyone here, and so they couldn’t be felt moving about by Jace or his unit, and her room being at the completely opposite end of the packhouse down many corridors out of sigh they couldn’t be seen either.

She’d left Jace last night at the elevator and told him to go and sleep. He had a big day ahead of

him. He’d wanted to walk her to her room and she’d smiled at him and shaken her head stated

simply, “I’m a big girl, can walk on my own.”

He’d frowned at her use of the word girl but then had just nodded and though she’d walked away, he’d stood and watched her until she was out of sight. She’d kind of rolled her eyes as she’d

stepped out of sight and had gone directly to her room and showered and changed into sleepwear.

Now today was the day, her final day here inside this pack. Today was the day he would learn that

he couldn’t have his cake and eat it too. Her mother and Nelly, all three of the Luna’s women, were

in here with her. They were just having a relaxing day. Jace had sent up a champagne breakfast,

and they’d all eaten lunch in this room. She had no intention of going downstairs at all today.

She sat and let her mother do her hair when the time came to get ready, and she had her make–up

done to enhance her natural looks, as she’d stated she would wear it, but Aria, Luna Nelly’s

Gamma’s Mate, was a make–up artist, and so she looked flawlessly natural, with darkly framed

eyes that made the golden brown of her eyes pop. And the contours of her face were perfect.

Nora stood in the room once dressed in that beautiful black dress, the last thing he would ever see

her in, and looked at herself. Her mother was right there, and she hugged her, “You look amazing.”

she told her and snapped a few photos of her. Then she sent one to Nita, who sent right back, ‘My

sister is a smoking hottie.dump that asshole and be the devil tonight, and go out in style in that pretty dress, and go find your happy big sister. Nora chuckled at all the emoji’s and

shook her head.

She sat down in her dress with her shoes on as everyone made their way down to the ballroom. Jace had mind–linked to her ‘I’ll let you know when everyone is here and to come down.”

‘Alright. She answered, ‘I’m dressed and ready!

I bet you look amazing in your Luna dress,’

‘I do,’ she answered, ‘Be a good host. She told him and cut the link herself.

Her mother and father were sitting looking at her. “What’d he say?” her father asked.

“That he would let me know when everyone arrives so I can make my entrance.” She looked at her mother, who was also wearing a black dress and would be walking next to her through the crowd,”

She took a moment to mind–link to Gloria ‘Are you ready, Luna, for all to know who you truly are to

this pack?‘ she asked.

‘I am, Gloria stated, ‘and to toss out the trash that doesn’t belong.‘

‘I imagine it will only be 15 or so minutes from now, until you may have your Alpha back. Thank you for giving me the curtesy of leaving this way. Please make your way to the ballroom entrance.‘ She cut the mind–link and looked at her mother and father.

“Let’s go and spoil that man’s plans. I don’t wish to make a big entrance like he wants me to.” She stood up and stated, “I’m ready to leave this place for good. No more will I be a part of this pack or

his life.”

She made her way down the omega stairs and stepped outside to see Gloria in that dress, wearing the jewelry Jace had bought and nodded to her. Both her parents looked at the woman. She’d

warned them not to react to her in any way.

To her delight, both her parents also bowed their heads to Gloria as if to say they knew who she was, and they were just here to collect Nora as she’d told Gloria they were doing. Then her father put his hand on the small of her back and moved her on.

They strolled around the side of the packhouse and walked towards the ballroom along with many other pack members now, and she was getting a lot of looks from them. They likely all expected her to enter the room when Jace announced her. She smiled at them and stated, ‘I’m going to surprise even Jace, please pass it along via the mind–link to not spoil this for me or him. I want to see the surprise on his face.‘ She mind–linked to them.

Several of them chuckled and nodded, and she watched many sets of eyes glaze over, and she

stood outside for a full three minutes to make sure that not only Gloria had time to make her way into the packhouse but to the entry of the ballroom through those grand double doors, but also for the pack members seeing her to have the time to pass along her message; she didn’t want him to

know what was going on before she stepped up to him.

There were still pack members filing into this ballroom as she stood there, and some smiled at her as they passed her. Two did not, glared right at her, and she rolled her eyes. They were Gloria’s friends. Ones that hung off the Luna in order for her to spend money on them, she could well

imagine.

She took a moment to herself outside the ballroom and called to Rosa that it was time to deal with their Mate, their way, and she felt her wolf come from the back of her mind to the front, felt the weight of her presence when she was all the way there to look about them through Nora’s eyes.

She saw both her parents right there and pushed forward to look at them, and both their wolves

surfaced and looked right at her, reached out and touched her face. “We’re here for you daughter.” They spoke to her lovingly.

“Thank you.” Rosa nodded and hugged them both for a long minute, before receding back and

leaving Nora on the surface once more. We will voice our rejection together! Rosa told her and sat

inside Nora’s mind to wait for the moment to come. Nora nodded and took a breath in, before

moving on once more.

Nora and her parents managed to walk into that ballroom unseen by Jace. They were walking among a dozen others, three of the women also wearing black. One of them apologized to her

right away about the color of her dress down the mind–link.

‘Don’t concern yourself with it, I honestly don’t mind, I also know none of you knew what color I would be wearing, she stated ‘It’s all good I’m not offended at all. I like black, and that dress looks

stunning on you,’ she told her and waved her off.

Jace was standing up on the raised platform with his unit. They looked to be in a mind–link

conversation, so he was not really paying attention to those filing into the ballroom or keeping

track of her tether. He was wearing his double–breasted navy–blue suit just like she thought he would be and his pack vest. The tie he was wearing was a soft gold, as was the handkerchief in his

suit pocket. She knew those two things matched that dress she’d picked out for him to see.

Nora looked at the flowers on the tables and noted they too would match that dress and all the

ties holding back the sheer curtains from the French doors were gold. None of those had been in

here the other day, when she’d been in here.

She’d only seen pack colors on display and had not known he was going to be tailoring those very things to that dress she’d picked out. But that would work well with her plan, making it even better,

she thought. Because now everything in this room was actually tailored to not only what Gloria

was going to be wearing when she stepped into this room, but Jace himself. It would portray Jace

and Glorie as the Alpha and Luna just like she wanted it to

She’d not even planned that, but it was perfect for the evening she’d set up. She made her way through the ballroom and walked up the four stairs onto the stage where he stood, leaving her

parents by the stairs with Alpha Clayton and his wout, and she saw John his Deita look right at her and then reach out and touch Jace, alerting him to her very presence.

Jace turned and looked right at her. He was more than surprised by her standing barely three feet from him. He thought she was still upstairs waiting for him to tell her when to come downstairs. She wasn’t so obedient. She’d have thought he’d learned by now that she rarely did anything he

wanted her to, when he wanted it.

“Nora?” he asked as his eyes moved from hers down to the dress she was wearing. “What is going on, why are you here?” and he frowned right at that dress she was wearing.

She heard the crown hush and go silent. They likely thought the ceremony was about to begin, though she heard the first whispers as some of them had caught his reaction to her suddenly

being there in the ballroom, standing before him, clearly unexpected by him.

“Why’s the Alpha frowning at Nora?” one whispered.

“Why’d he ask her that? Isn’t this ceremony for her?” another murmured.

“Did the wrong Luna turn up?” one she–wolf half laughed, and she knew it was one of Gloria’s

friends or likely to be.

She ignored the whispers in the room and looked up at Jace. “What do you mean?” she asked right

back for all to hear. “This is the Luna Ceremony, isn’t it? For your Luna?”

“Yes,” he nodded, and she saw his eyes move to the crowd. “We should talk privately for a moment.

“He murmured as he realized everyone in here was now quiet and starting to wonder just what the

heck was going on.

“Oh, I see.” she nodded at him slowly, “This is all for Gloria your Luna, and not me, your Mate, who is

supposed to be your Luna. I’m overstepping my bounds by being here. When you’re about to

announce your Luna to the pack,” she shook her head slowly as if saddened by having to state

those words, “I should have known, of course this is all for your Luna, Gloria.” She stated for all to

hear. “You’ve never give me anything.” She muttered.

He was just staring at her now, kind of looked more than shocked, and she could see he was trying

to figure out what to say. The entire ballroom was quiet, listening to every word with bated breath

she imagined.
