5 Puppies For The Alpha
Chapter 56

Lukyan looked in front of the mirror, his image and you could say he looked handsome. Thanks to the good nutrition of the last few days he had gained the necessary weight to be at a proper weight,

The tunic that Lucian had given him fit him quite well. A long piece of red cloth that fitted around his neck covering his shoulders and arms. Various patterns of silver threads merged with the rich and detailed texture of the fabric making it seem to have a life of its own with every movement. Simply beautiful.

He turned to appreciate the slight trailing tail that ended in a full weave of different patterns. He smiled pleased with her appearance. He loved the outfit that didn’t fail to be masculine given the sash around her narrow waist, Lucian had shown off. He’d just be sure to take it off when he was with Dante, lest he make him break it.

Bastian had also taken care of his hair. After combing it, he parted it to the side and let it down. Now that he saw it in better condition he said it was a shame to tie it back. So the contrast with how dark it was, how white his fur was, and the crimson robe made him look like a wolf of royalty.

-You look beautiful,” Lucian spoke to his back, sneaking back into the room to the claim of a few companions.

Lukyan looked over his shoulder, his eyes sparkling.

-I know.

The alpha left after exchanging a few words with him, along with the other wolves. The day had passed relatively quickly and it was already getting dark outside.

-It’s time, let’s go.” Bastian took his hand and led him out of the room.

Lukyan just nodded his head.

-Don’t be nervous, I have enough with Dante already.

-He’s nervous too?” That took her by surprise, because she had seen him very early in the morning and he seemed normal.

-I’ve been with him for many years, others may not have noticed, but I have. I’m sure he ate his nails,” the wolf scoffed.

The omega looked at him warmly. Their relationship was very close and beautiful.

-But you know,” Bastian stared at Lukyan’s back for a moment and patted one of his buttocks making him startle and look at him in amazement, “Even though you’re pretty much recovered I think you need a few more pounds of fat, especially in that part. Nah, don’t worry, as soon as Dante starts kneading them, that’ll take care of it.

What impressed Lukyan most about the beta’s husband was how open he could be about certain subjects and s*x was one of those. He didn’t mince words about certain things. He still didn’t understand how he could be married to Falco. The two of them had very opposite characters, not to mention their heights. That perhaps was something that would remain unknown to them.

They walked down the hallway to reach the staircase down to the first floor. There was no wolf in the mansion. Bastian had told him they were gathered outside for the ceremony.

-Ah,” Bastian shouted, “Lukyan wait here a moment, I left something in the room,” and he turned and ran.

The omega was crouched at the railing waiting for him when he heard footsteps near him.

-Ryan, his former beta, appeared with an indecipherable expression on his face.

Lukyan straightened up.

-Thank you, Ryan,” he realised he hadn’t seen him in days.

-Are you really going to marry the alpha Dante,” the wolf looked tense, “Are you sure about that?

-I have another way out, that was the deal that stuck with the Council, besides, he’s been taking pretty good care of me, he won’t be a bad husband,” he smiled slightly, aware of his words.

Ryan pursed his lips.

-Queen, if you want it that way I don’t object, I just don’t want what happened before to happen, you still have time to run away if you want, I promise to protect you and…”.

Lukyan tilted his head sideways and took one of her hands in his.

-I don’t want to run, and I’m not going to run, Ryan. This is my home now and my children’s home. You know I’m not selfish enough to think of my own welfare. Dante promised to adopt my children, that way they will have a stable life and a roof over their heads, no matter what happens to me. I appreciate your concern, but let’s forget about what we’ve been talking about,” he said calmly.

The wolf looked up with a different glow that Lukyan was unaware of.

-As you wish, I will always be by your side, wherever you are.

-You don’t need to be by his side all the time,” Bastian appeared with a frown.

-Bastian,” the omega scolded him, “Ryan is just worried about me.

-If you’ll excuse me,” the wolf bowed and turned and started to walk away, while Bastian clicked his tongue.

-No matter what my Falco tells me, I don’t like that guy, I don’t like the way he smells, I don’t like the way he looks at you, I don’t like the way he walks…”.

-In short, you don’t like him.

-See, that’s what I wanted to say,” he wagged his finger with a grimace, “But let’s forget about it and go meet Dante, I’m sure he’ll be crazy to see you.

She took him by the hand and led him down the stairs to the outside. Outside, everything looked different than usual. Hundreds of chairs had been placed in front of a low dais adorned with red ribbons and fabrics. There were white flowers that had been recognised from the back garden on some sections of the carpet. Many candles were strategically placed to illuminate the room splendidly.

Lukyan could only see it all from a far corner as he had to wait for the start to make his appearance with the alpha. The rest of the pack began to settle into their seats as they heard a yelp that dictated the start of the ceremony and that alone made the wolf’s hair stand on end.

The whole thing reminded him vaguely of his wedding, though it had not been as ostentatious as that one. The adults wore black trousers or sayas and the upper part was red, while those who had not come of age wore white. So his sons Matías and Nicolás had red shirts and Sacha and Axel, white. His puppy, as he imagined, would not be present.

He sighed, trying to take the weight off his shoulders, closed his eyes and let it all flow. He wasn’t a first-timer at this. He already knew what married life was like, so he didn’t understand why he was so nervous.

-Calm down,” a whisper in his ear and a hand on the skin of his back made him turn his face to the side.

-Dante,” he exclaimed, feeling strangely calm. For the first time her scent calmed him.

The wolf smiled, running his hand along his spine.

-You look beautiful,” he leaned closer and kissed her temple, “I am pleased to have chosen you as my husband.

Lukyan stared at him. If he looked good as they were praising him, what could they say about their alpha. He was the epitome of the word handsome and sexy put together. The red silk shirt clung to his body showing off his toned muscles. The first two buttons exposed his collarbone and that chest that made you want to touch it. His hair was neatly combed and lustrous. He wore it loose and behind his ears except for the same unruly locks that never settled.

He lifted his hands to her cheeks and looked into her eyes for a few seconds before standing on tiptoe and bringing her lips to his. Dante circled her waist gently to steady him as she let him k**s him, though inwardly he wished the k**s was wilder, more intimate, but they would have time for that later.

Lukyan’s lips felt soft and he liked that. The fact that he was the one who had initiated the k**s was a sign that she was beginning to gain confidence in him and in the relationship they were to forge. When she broke away she saw him lower his head, pressing his lips together to look into his eyes again.

-I will do whatever it takes to be a good queen for your pack and share your concerns as alpha,” she said.

Dante smiled and kissed her forehead.

-I know, I take it for granted that you will never fail in your duties, but… as for us…” Lukyan licked his lips.

Lukyan licked his lips lightly. He didn’t know it was so hard for him to answer that. And the alpha didn’t force it. He kissed his lips again and hugged him.

-If you’re still not sure, you don’t have to answer me now,” his body relaxed in her arms and he took the opportunity to leave a faint mark on the side of her neck where her hair would hide it. She released him and held out her hand.

-Come on-

Lukyan smiled slightly and took those fingers that had changed his life.
