Chapter 3

"when do you want to hold your Alpha Ceremony?" Tyler asked. "What Alpha Ceremony?" I asked completely confused.

"not many know this since it's incredibly rare for an alpha to be killed while still running a pack, but when an alpha dies the Luna becomes the alpha" he said. "no I can't be Alpha" I said "I'm not even Jason's real mate, nor did I give birth to an heir, I can't be Alpha" I said concerned

"but you were married to him, no one can fute your right as alpha especially since Jason's mate died 4 years ago" Tyler said. I sighed, "just set it for after the funeral" I said and walked away "yes Luna" I heard him reply.

as the day went on I eventually got my car back and went home. I entered my home and all I heard was silence. I once again thought back to that night.

~"if this check bounces I'm coming for you" he whispered in my ear "and if my husband dies I come for your family" I replied~

"I swear to the goddess I will kill that bastard" I said aloud. when suddenly a wave of nausea came over me 'my god that's sudden' I thought to myself. I shook it off and walked up stairs into my room.

and that's how my day ended. over the next few days I prepared for Jason's funeral while at the same time having multiple vomiting issues. and finally the day of the funeral arrived.

I wore a short black dress and braided my long dirty blonde hair. there were hundreds of wolves, a majority of them Alphas. Jason's family and I stood in a line. everyone greeted us one by one, giving us their condolences.

"I'm so sorry for your loss Luna" alpha Marcus said shaking my hand "thank you" I replied and he moved onto mia Jason's sister.

a scent suddenly filled my nose, it was the greatest scent I had ever smelled, at the same time nausea crept over me again. "I-I have to go" I said covering my mouth and running as a pushed through people. "I'll go get her" I heard mia say from behind.

I barely made it to the bathroom and to a toilet before I started vomiting. I heard the bathroom door open and close behind me and that's when I heard mia voice. "oh my goddess, are you pregnant" she said in a shocked voice. and I turned to look at her shocked. "there's no way it's practically impossible" I said as I was kneeling in front of a toilet of my own vomit.

"but it's not impossible" she said. "I can't deal with this right now" I said wiping my mouth and standing up. "then when will you" she said "Not at my husbands funeral" I snapped and she was silent. "Im sorry" I said looking down "it's just" "I know" she interrupted "we'll deal with it later c'mon" she said walking out of the bathroom.

I walked out of the bathroom and the amazing smell hit my nose once again. but I ignored it. it wasn't the time or place to care. I knew what the scent meant and I had waited long enough I could wait a while more.

I walked back to my spot and continued to greet people. after a while the scent I smelled finally approached me.

he was tall with black hair and blue eyes light tan skin and wavy hair.

he walked up to me and I could tell immediately he knew it was me who was his mate. "I'm Jarred Alpha of the new moon pack I am so sorry for your loss" he said shaking my hand and it was like electricity flowed through my body.

"I'm Vanessa, Luna of the blood moon pack. thank you for your condolences alpha" I replied staring him in the eyes. "I should go pay my respects to alpha Jason" he said "may we meet again" he said kissing my hand and walking towards Jason.

"Luna" Tyler said walking up to me "what is it" I asked. "we have a slight issue" he said. I was confused but I followed him out of the funeral home. "I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOUR LUNA!" I heard someone yell at one of my wolves "what seems to be the problem" I said walking up to the woman yelling. "are you his Luna?" she snapped. "yes now do you mind explaining why your disturbing my husbands funeral" I said.

"this wolf is refusing to let me in" the woman said. "she's not on the list" the wolf the woman was yelling at said. "it's a viewing to say good bye why would there be a list!" the woman snapped.

"ma'am Jason Smith was a very well known alpha, I as his Luna made a guest list and anyone not on said list will be denied entry as we currently have over 300 wolves here. if you are not on the list I suggest you leave" I said in an angry tone then turned to walk away. "how dare you" she said "excuse me" I said stopping and turning to face her again.

"your not even Alpha Jason's real mate yet you think you can control wolves because you married him and became his Luna, well listen to me you little whore your completely mistaken, especially since you couldn't even try to get pregnant" she said with a smirk. "how dare..." Tyler said but I put my hand up stopping him.

"if you have a problem with me then challenge me but I assure you miss that alpha, Luna or not I will defeat you" I said turning and walking then stopping once more "oh and if you do challenge me make sure it's to the death anything else is beneath me" I said then walked back inside the funeral home.

suddenly I heard foot steps behind me and heavy breathing. "Luna Vanessa Myers I Sara Sinclair challenge you to a dual to the death" the woman yelled Infront of everyone at the viewing
