Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 179

Victor's

POV

"That

went well."

My attention went to Lauren. She just finished blow drying her hair and was about to come to bed.

"I'm glad it did." I said as I pulled the comforter on her side of the bed.

"Me, too."

It was a fulfilling day. Although there have been a few glitches before coming to the Full Moon Tribe, everything went according to plan.

Finally, Grandma Anna gave her blessing to Lauren and I's mating. Although, nothing will stop me from being with Lauren, getting the approval of the old woman made me feel better.

Moreover, Grandma Anna allowed me to sleep with Lauren in her bedroom at the old woman's cabin. According to her, their mating has been sealed already and she will not be a hindrance anymore.

Although the tribe's alpha offered a room in the packhouse for Richard and I, without any doubt, will choose to be with my mate anytime. I know that Richard has the same thing in mind. He was with Mila in the guestroom. "What's on your mind, my Alpha?"

I pulled Lauren closer to my chest. I encircled my arms around her middle.

"I am happy to be here, my Luna." I whispered in her ear. I also pressed a kiss on her hair.

"Me, too. I am also glad that Mila changed her mind. I thought she is going to reject Richard over and over again."

"And I thought my beta is going give up at first rejection."

"They deserved to be happy, Victor. Mila has been hurt in the past. I hope she has half a mind to be a better partner to Richard."

"They will get through this."

"I hope so, too."

My arms loosened when Lauren moved to face me. A smile was plastered on her face when she looked at me.

"Did you notice the dress I was wearing when you arrived a while ago?"

"I did. It was pretty. I like it when your hair is down."

"I want to wear it on our wedding day."

I hummed as I imagined her walking down the aisle wearing the white dress with the corset top.

"Do you want a garden wedding, my Luna?"

"Maybe."

A smile formed in my lips when I heard the woman that I love giggled. She likes to have a garden wedding after all.

"I'm alright with anything as long as I will be legally binded to you, Lauren."

"Really?"

"Yes."

I pressed a kiss on her soft lips. I was about to deepened the kiss when I was pushed back. A frown marked my face as I gazed on my mate.

"I'm not finish yet. This is a night meant for talking, Alpha Victor. Besides, my grandmother is just a few doors away."

I heaved a sigh. Lauren has a point but it does not mean I like it.

"Grandma was not able to send my mother away on her wedding day. I want to give her that."

"Of course." "Really?"

I nodded. "I will give you everything that you need, my love. If this wedding will make you happy, I will give you the grandest wedding you wish. This wedding will be all about you, Lauren. As long as I am the man waiting for you at the altar, plan it the way you like it." I said the words with conviction. I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

"Thank you. The wedding does not need to be grand. I just want it to be you with my grandmother on my side."

"I know. It will be done."

"Thank you."

"You are welcome."

I kissed her forehead as I seal my promise to her. In turn, Lauren surrounded her arms on my shoulders and laid her head on my chest.

Being with my mate was one of the things that I cherished when I met Lauren. The simple matter like spending together even without speaking a word is already valuable to me. Lauren thought me that. Time is a great way of showing that a person cared. Lauren taught me many things. Time was best gift that a person can give. Support was a great shield against pain. Love is--

I stared at the woman in my arms. My musing halted when I heard soft snore coming from her.

She must be very exhausted. She told me that she and Mila spent the whole night chatting away. It did not help that I came earlier today that her beauty rest was cut short.

On the other hand, the alpha of the Full Moon Tribe told me that there will be a banquet tomorrow. It will be in honor of my visit in his territory.

"Sleep, my Love. We'll talk again tomorrow. I love you." I spoke in the silence of the room.

I turned the lights off as I held the love of my life closer to my body.

The next day, while the whole tribe was busy with the preparation of the banquet later in the evening, I was with Alpha Mark.

Mark is the current Alpha of the Full Moon Tribe. He is Lauren's uncle. I have known him from the parties held for the leaders of the tribe. I also heard that he is a fair leader.

We were speaking about politics and his issues in the territory. According to him, his warriors need some training and reshaping. It was his simple way of asking a favor from me and my tribe to help him in creating better defenses. And he asked the right man.

Full Moon Tribe and Midnight Claws Tribe had no bad blood in the past. Since Full Moon Tribe is a small and a peaceful tribe, they barely had any rouge attacks in their history. However, Alpha Mark is a modern man. He wanted to lead his tribe into a better one that can defend its territory when the need arises.

Our meeting ended with me asking for a written proposal from him. I need Richard's help with the matter when the proposal reaches my hand.

It was after six when Lauren and I marched in the direction of the venue. We both wear a color coordinated outfit that my mate chose herself.

I was wearing a navy blue dress shirt and equally dark pants while my mate was in simple white sheer top tucked in a navy blue plaid skirt that reached below her knees.

The place was in full swing when we entered the hall. It was the teasing faces of my beta and Mila who greeted us. It seemed that the couple had an idea what happened before we came.

"So..."

"Shut up, Mila. I don't want to hear what you are going to say." Lauren snapped at her friend who has a wide green on her lips.

Instead of being offended, the other woman laughed. I had to suppress the smile on my face from showing up when I saw how red the cheeks of my mate were.

We were supposed to be here before six but I was not able to stop myself when I saw Lauren clad in a white robe when she exited the bathroom. We ended up showering together after a few minutes later.

"Before you judge me, woman. Make sure that the love bite in your neck is covered."

Mila's eyes widened. Her hand covered her neck before she faced her boyfriend.

"I told you not to leave a mark." Mila said in gritted teeth as she faced Richard.

I shook my head at the other couple. Their relationship seemed going well.

Our bickering stopped when the music died. A man appeared on the make-shift stage.

"Let us all welcome Alpha Victor of the Midnight Claws Tribe together with his mate, our very own, Lauren Franco." He announced.

The attention went to us. It was the same moment when Lauren's hold in my arm tightened.

"Relax, my Luna. This will be the first. You should get used to hearing your name being called whenever you attend a banquet like this. You are the mate of Alpha Victor, my love. You deserved to be recognized." I murmured in her ear. Lauren exhaled.

"To us."

"To us." I echoed.
