Chapter 58: The Drama Continues

We had lunch afterward, though I didn’t enjoy it as I kept thinking of Anna. Then I wondered how Lisa could act as she was now. Was there truly a potent drug, so her mind was messed up badly? I let out a heavy sigh. I hoped I didn’t need to do bad things to her because she was my sister-in-law.

Lisa glanced at me and grinned. "Do you like the meals? You seem deep in your thoughts."

"All are delicious. Please give my gratitude to the ones who prepared the meals."

Lisa smiled and nodded. "What were you thinking?" She held my hand.

"About my new responsibility as an Alpha. It’s a huge duty."

"Don’t worry. I’ll be there to help you in any way I can." Lisa bent forward and kissed my cheek.

I didn’t know what to say, as it was quite awkward. It would be different if Anna was the one who kissed me.

Then Lisa whispered, "After this, we will have a dance. Our Elders may want to talk with you too, as some of them told me a few hours ago. But we can skip it."

I shook my head. "We must go through it all. It will be impolite if we skip it all."

"Fine. Let’s dance, then. I can’t wait to enjoy my time with my husband."

Lisa held my hand and led me to the center of the field. Then the music started, and we danced slowly. She smiled and rested her head on my chest.

"I’m glad the ceremony has finished. Now you are mine, and I’m all yours."

I said nothing because if Lisa was under the influence of drugs, nothing I said could change her mind. So we kept dancing. When the music ended, I heard clapping. Some she-wolves and werewolves clapped hands around us.

"Congratulations, Alpha Cameron and Luna Lisa. It’s beautiful!" a she-wolf said.

"You are a compatible match for each other," another she-wolf said.

Lisa smiled and nodded. "Thank you so much. I hope you will have marvelous mates like my husband too." She stared at me and hugged my waist.

I forced a smile because what else could I do? Lisa was my wife now. I couldn’t contradict her when she was under the influence of drugs. Some Elders approached us and wanted to talk about packs, politics, and the peace agreement, but my father-in-law laughed and shook his head.

"Oh, come on. It’s their marking ceremony day. Let them have a relaxing day. All the heavy discussions can wait."

Lisa giggled and raised her thumbs up. "Thanks, Father. You understand us well."

"Of course! I was young too once. Now, get some rest and enjoy your time alone. We won’t bother you until tomorrow."

I approached Alpha Fred and muttered, "We will return to our pack now, Father. I want to spend my night in my bed."

Alpha Fred raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Is that so?"

I nodded. "Yes. With our new responsibilities, the sooner we are in our pack, the better, as I don’t want to leave our pack for too long."

Alpha Fred let out a sigh. "I see. Though I still expect to have breakfast with you and Lisa tomorrow."

"We can visit you tomorrow morning."

But then Alpha Fred clucked his tongue. "No, no need to rush. You and Lisa can visit me in three days or next week to have breakfast or lunch with me."

I bowed my head. "Thank you, Father."

After calling Lisa, my father-in-law talked with her for a few minutes. He hugged her and kissed her cheeks. Later, he smiled at me. "Lisa agreed to visit me in a week. She wanted to spend time with you alone," Alpha Fred exclaimed.

All of them laughed merrily to hear that, while Lisa blushed. "Father, you are naughty. It’s only between us."

Then my father-in-law patted my shoulder. "Please take care of my daughter well. She’s the only daughter I have."

I nodded. "I will."

Then I drove home with all of our people. My father waited for me in the parking lot.

He hugged me and said, "Thank you, my son. You made me proud today. I’m glad everything went well."

"It’s my duty, and I will do it as required."

"I know," my father whispered, "though you don’t love Lisa, you showed me and our people how you prioritize our pack above your feelings. Thank you, Son."

I said nothing, as I didn’t want to lie to my father. At least the hardest part was over. When we were in our pack, it would be easier.

After we arrived at our pack, Lisa smiled as she stared at my father. "It’s the first day for me as the Luna here. Please help me if I don’t do my work well, Father."

My father grinned and patted Lisa’s hand. "Don’t worry. You will be a great Luna. It’s your day. Enjoy it. You can start doing your job in a few days."

Then I guided Lisa to my house. Mimi greeted Lisa and me. She had been waiting for us. Melanie stood there with her. "Greetings, Alpha Cameron and Luna Lisa. It’s a great happiness for us to have you back in our pack."

"Thank you, Mimi." Then I glanced at Lisa. "It’s Psi Mimi. She is the Omega’s leader here."

Lisa smiled at Mimi. "Nice to meet you, Mimi."

"An honor for me, Luna." Then Mimi bowed. "Alpha, I regret we haven’t arranged a maid for Luna Lisa. But Melanie Wood is a good maid. She can help our Luna well. It’s if Luna Lisa doesn’t mind, of course."

Lisa stared at Melanie as Melanie bent her head to greet Lisa and me. "Alpha Cameron and Luna Lisa, congratulations! I’m Melanie Wood. It will be an honor if I can serve Luna Lisa as a maid. If Alpha Cameron needs me as the housemaid too, I can do it."

I shook my head. "Let our Luna choose someone else as the housemaid. You can focus on serving her."

Melanie nodded and waited for Lisa’s answer.

After a few seconds, Lisa tapped her lips. "I already had a maid in my pack. Susanne Morrigan. What do you think if I ask her to serve me here as my maid? Melanie can be the housemaid."

"It’s a good arrangement,” I said. “Mimi, what do you think?"

Mimi bowed and smiled at both of us. "It’s great, Luna. Once again, congratulations! Melanie can start working today. I’m looking forward to meeting and getting to know your maid."
