FINALE: Mine

Clary's POV

"Nervous?" Marcus asked as we stepped out of the area where we were staying. The night has already started to get deeper. This night is the time that I will be throned as the leader of the pack of Northeast mountain. It is the night where everything is going to change for me.

I do admit that I am nervous and that I am not still ready to be the wolf who is in charge to lead a pack. To think that several lives will depend on my decisions, scares me. It scares me to think about how big the decision that I have to take after being throned.

It will be going to be difficult for me, especially that I was not not trained to be a leader. 5 months ago, I am just an embarrassing Vertina. I was just a weak and helpless wolf before and it still felt like yesterday. I could still remember how other wolves of that pack make fun of me. Now, I will have a pack to lead. It was, of course, more than I could imagine. It was something that I did not anticipated and I still couldn't have a grasp of it until now.

'You can do it, Clary. I will always be here for you.' Said Cordia which lighten the atmosphere for me knowing that my wolf will always support me in every step we take.

'Thank you, Cordia.' I stated as I took a deep breath.

'We experienced the worst, Clary. I'm sure we will get to pass through all the trials that awaits us.' She added.

'We will, Cordia.' I said motivating both of us.

Now that I think of all my past experiences, it was really possible for someone to wake up in a same body with a different life, this new life on mine might be the second life that I used to wish for. This might be the gift made by heaven for me. I guess, wishes do come true. It was just a matter of time and patience. These are all we need to get the desired dreams we all wanting to achieve.

Just time, hardwork and patience.

I faced Marcus, "How do I look?" I asked him as I turned around for him to fully see me. He will be my escort for tonight. I am wearing an emerald green long gown. My hair was curled in a half length. I applied some make up, too. Hoping that I would be somehow look fine in front of other wolves.

I actually had a hard time sleeping yesterday because of everything that had happened and with the position I am right now.

I had a hard time thinking of all the consequences of this events, but one thing dominated my mind was my mother, she got to lead this pack and so I can do it too, I shall not disappoint her. I'm sure she must have been relying for me as well, as she left me with a whole pack.

Marcus raised a thumbs up while smiling. He, on the other hand, was wearing a black suit. There are some wounds in his body that were covered by his suit. He received some wounds while he was distracting Andrea's mother. They had to fight to keep her away from her and I am feel guilty for those wounds. I caused him those, I put him in the situation which can put him in danger, but he never had a say on it. He's just being a good cousin who supports me on my actions, whether in good or bad.

When I heard my name was called by the speaker, Marcus and I went out of the area to go in front on the whole pack. This event was held in the headquarter for the leaders of our pack. It was found in the peak of the mountain and is builded with several floors to serve the choosen wolf. Each floor is dedicated for those wolves who are in position. The building was made to see everything in the Northeast mountains, the stars and moon is also seen closely from this area.

The crowd clapped when they saw me entering the stage. I was so engulfed with the warm welcome that people have given me. They accepted me without other thoughts, they accepted me for who I am... they accepted me fully.

I smiled when I faced the pack. Some of the faces were familiar, those wolves who I have probably met when we went in the town. However, most of the wolves present are not familiar with me which makes me nervous. I feel bad for leading a pack that I am not still familiar. I felt sorry for them for being such a lousy leader... for being an inexperienced leader.

"My fellow wolves, tonight let us embark another event as we conquer the adversities and make ourselves even more stronger..." I said, in front of them. I was instructed to have a short message and I was kind of nervous knowing that I have never faced a large crowd like this before. Everything here was my first time, I just hope that I will get used to it.

"Some of you have probably heard my story, some of you might not... but let us all start anew and be the best version of ourselves. Let us all become stronger and face the next adversities in our lives together, let us all conquer challenges together!" I stated, emphasizing the word together in my speech.

My speech ended well, I think. The crowd applauded me after the delivery of my speech. I was not really prepared to have a speech, I just said all the feelings and my thoughts that I have. I just spoke my heart out and hoping that they would accept it.

"You are adjusting," Uncle Loki said as he handled me a glass of champagne. He sounded like he was complimenting me and it somehow made my nervousness subside.

I only smiled at him and accepted the champagne. We are now in the open field outside the headquarters of leaders in top of the mountain. This night serves as a celebration for the whole pack and the event was meant to last until the midnight. It was also a way of socializing with each other.

"Your taste for men is good." Uncle, then, said while we was busy sipping the champagne.

My brows crossed at the remark of my Uncle, he sounded complimenting me but I do not know what does he meant with his words... taste for men. Curiosity filled me and when I looked up to my Uncle, I found him looking behind my back and not directly at me.

When I turn around, I found a man in a black tuxedo approaching near me. It was Alpha Xylo... my heart started beating erratically, I could believe to see him hear.

'Mate!' Cordia exclaimed in happiness and I couldn't help but smile. He really become more handsome than before especially with his suit accompanied by his sort of long hair, but it wasn't too long, just enought that could suit him perfectly. He have probably never had a haircut for several months. His long hair was tied, complementing his ruthless facial features. He looks so fucking gorgeous with that and there goes my heartbeat exploding like a fireworks, pounding abnormally.

He nodded at my Uncle before turning his gaze at me. Next thing I knew, my Uncle has already left and I am alone with Xylo in the middle of the crowd.

When he got closer, he wrapped his arms around my waist and said, "Mine." His voice was possessive and it turns me on, but I was kinda confused by his actions.

"H-Huh?" I asked out of myself as I felt the sparks from his holds.

"You are every man's desire, Clary. They are checking you out." He said in a dangerous tone.

I smiled at his gesture. Xylo and his hidden meanings.
