Alpha's Regret the Luna is Secret Heiress (by Sylvia) novel Chapter 341

Chapter 263: Claiming Our Bond Tomorrow

(Connor’s POV)

“Olivia, what do you think?” I asked, my ice–blue eyes filled with warmth as I looked at my newly engaged mate.

The moonstone engagement ring sparkled on her finger, catching the light from the fireworks still bursting overhead. My wolf purred with satisfaction at seeing our mark of claim on her.

Olivia’s amber eyes curved into crescents as she replied, “I think that’s a great idea.”

She reflected silently that if it weren’t for so many unexpected incidents involving Frederick Warner and the pack conflicts, we would have completed our mating bond long ago. The thought of finally making her officially mine sent waves of possessive satisfaction through my Alpha instincts.

Hearing her agreement, the smile in my eyes deepened. “Then let’s go register our mating bond first thing tomorrow morning,” I declared eagerly.

The official werewolf registration would precede our marking ceremony, making our union legally recognized by all packs in the territory. My wolf was practically vibrating with anticipation.

Derek clicked his tongue and teased from nearby, “Look at you, so impatient. You haven’t even had the mating ceremony yet and you’re already coaxing Olivia to register the bond with you.”

His grin was mischievous as he continued, “Aren’t you afraid Alpha Richard will challenge you to a dominance fight?”

Far from being annoyed, my smile only widened. “A lone wolf like you wouldn’t understand,” I retorted, using the werewolf term for unmated males.

Derek shook his head with a series of tsks, “Well, now he’s just showing off his mate bond.” Gabriel Andrews chimed in with a laugh, “In such a hurry to register? You should at least have the marking ceremony first. All of us are waiting for your mating celebration feast.”

calmly replied, “Registering the bond is quick. It won’t delay your celebration drinks.”

The pack members around us erupted in good–natured laughter and howls of approval. Their joy at my successful proposal warmed my heart almost as much as Olivia’s acceptance had.

After some more lighthearted banter among the pack members, our group returned to the villa’s main hall for the birthday feast to officially begin. I had prioritized my proposal above all else, arranging it before the dinner because I wanted to secure Olivia’s acceptance before celebrating with the pack.

After the grand feast, I was pulled aside by my close friends. The dining hall had been filled with laughter and congratulations, but now I found myself in a quieter corner with the women who meant the most to me.

Lily grabbed my hand, admiring the moonstone engagement ring. “This ring is so beautiful! Connor’s taste is excellent. This was custom–made just for you, the only one of its kind in the world.”

I asked, surprised by her knowledge, “How did you know?”

Lily revealed with a knowing smile, “Gabriel told me.”

Emma Thompson leaned in, her eyes wide with amazement. “Wow, it’s gorgeous! Such a big moonstone, it’s practically glowing with supernatural energy!”

The ring did seem to pulse with its own inner light, responding to my werewolf nature in ways I was still discovering. The craftsmanship was beyond anything I’d ever seen.

I then realized, “So you all knew Connor was going to propose to me today. No wonder you insisted I wear this dress.”

Lily and Rebecca Frost nodded in unison, their expressions filled with barely contained excitement.

Rebecca explained, “This dress was also custom–ordered by Connor over a month ago. It was designed by the world’s top fashion house that specializes in werewolf formal wear.”

She gestured to the intricate beadwork that caught the light with every movement. “Her team spent the last month working solely on this dress, which was chosen from over a hundred design drafts.”

Emma Thompson, looking utterly smitten, gushed, “Wow, Olivia, Alpha Connor is too good to you!”

Lily added with dreamy eyes, “As expected of the world’s top designer. The dress is truly unique, luxurious yet sweet and elegant. I’ll have her design my mating dress when I bond with Gabriel.”

Derek cheered and refilled my glass immediately. Gabriel also poured two more, raising his in a toast.
