I stood up. "If you won't accept the truth, you can leave."
At Alpha's whistle, two guardians entered, grabbed Patricia, and dragged her from the meeting room, amidst screams and protests.
"You did great," Alpha whispered after I sat down.
Because of the incident, Alpha Luis, wanting to avoid further damage to his reputation and prevent my humiliation, decided to parade us around the country.
We took a five-day trip in a float, showcasing my presence as his Luna. The float was surrounded by werewolf scouts and guardians to ensure our safety. The locals were cheering our presence. The radio constantly announced the parade and my status as the official Luna.
It was slightly embarrassing, but also great, that Alpha Luis wasn't ashamed to have me as his Luna. If it had been Henry, he would have certainly denied me. I wonder what he'll react with this. I hope he'll regret breaking up with me for Jenny and receive the karma he deserves.
We returned to Alpha's mansion safely. A small celebration was held in the banquet hall with the councils, elders, and powerful men from around the country. A small crowd applauded as Alpha and I walked the red carpet to our seats on stage.
The emcee kept the celebration lively with his witty punchlines. I laughed a couple of times, and during that, I noticed Alpha looking at me lovingly. After dinner, the audience lined up to give me gifts. Some gave vegetables, domestic animals, and plants; others gave packaged gifts.
When it was time to unwrap the gifts, all eyes were on me. I chose the red gift first because of a fascinating smell emitting from it. When I opened the gift, my eyes widen with shock and horror.
"It's a time bomb!"
CINDY'S POV
Alpha Luis immediately grabbed the bomb and ran outside. The timer showed seconds when Alpha threw it far into the air. The time bomb exploded, and the night was tainted with red, orange, and white. It made the sky shine like day.
"Are you okay?" Alpha asked, checking my body for wounds or scratches.
I cupped his face, looking at his worried eyes. "I'm fine. Thank you for protecting me."
"Of course, I will. I won't let anyone hurt you," he said, before kissing me on the lips.
