Chapter 91: Chapter 91
: Officially A Luna
I sat there on the step of the Packhouse bluffing and thought back on the days I try to seduce my mate in bed with me.
I am still not healing from my dad's death and thus I need some distraction and something to take my mind completely off from everything just for a while. Making love with him might just be the answer.
Matteo and I didn't go further on the day after my dad's funeral and since then I try but I was never in luck.
It was hard to do so even Alera was running out of her tricks.
I can't believe that wolf of mine made me watch horrible stuff to gain experience. Only in the end Matteo and his wolf were able to control themselves around us.
"Luna"
"Get lost" I retort with no interest in whatever Jay is going to say.
"Have you seen Alpha?" he asks again making me filled with annoyance
"already dead" I deadpan.
"I must have said that hurts" Matteo came from behind and sat next to me. I ignored him and look to the other side
"What is wrong with you?" he asks and I refuse to answer. "Adassah," he said my full name something that I'm used to now when he is getting frustrated or even when he is feeling emotional.
"Come on more! What's wrong?" he asks again and I shook my head no.
I didn't even want to talk about it now. As you know Jay is right in front of us and everybody knows Jay and his lousy mouth.
He's cool and fun but there are things he needs to shut up about, yet he still won't shut upon those matters.
I sigh standing up from the ground dusting my jeans "Adassah,"
"I said nothing Matteo, so it's nothing" I shrug my shoulders and left without turning back to him and mostly I avoided Jay as one wrong move and he'll guess it.
I hated that my hormones are frustrating me even more and it's always worse every time I am around him. I know that female wolf goes into heat but what I'm experiencing is not even close to it.
My grandma says yesterday when I visited her and Wes that I will only go into heat when the bond between Matteo and me is being sealed officially.
When I ask her for more she went on and further explain that when both mates acknowledge their bond they have to make a vow in front of the Pack. It is like the ones human-made yet it's quite different.
Mates after making that vow should mark each other to seal it.
The last step would be mating which most females prefer heating time as those were the times the males become hypersexual.
Yet sorry but mine is getting crazy and I can't even make it by that time. She did even mention that when I decided to mate Matteo we both need to mate in front of the Pack.
Something I am totally against off and not willing to give everyone a free ticket for a free show.
I don't even know if Matteo is up for it as I am pretty sure he won't let anyone else see me naked but me no way.
I felt hands on my arm pulling me back "you're mad" Matteo stated.
"Is this about your luna ceremony?" I push his hand away "no it's not" I reply with affirmative.
Yes, and that is another thing we are still pushing for, my luna ceremony. It was not his decision but mine solely because it’s what I want.
"Then what is it?" he asks and I ended up shouting at him nothing. Yep, that's exactly how the rest of our week went, me avoiding him.
When the day of my luna ceremony came Matteo asks me again and I told him that I was alright only if he agrees to acknowledge our bond tonight.
He didn't want to but I told him that if he doesn't then I don't see a reason for me to be his Luna. So it goes my way that I am going to be his Luna and he would mark me.
My grandma is also here and I swear there is something off about her. Like she has been asking me if this is what I want. I have to assure her that this is what I want to be with my mate.
Everything is settled and I couldn't wait anymore to be marked as his. I was nervous too but I knew him and I aren't talking because of me.
The clock strikes 10 pm and I took countless deep breaths. I went to his office and find him standing there by the window. I call his name twice but he didn't seem to hear me as his thoughts are somewhere else.
I went up and hug him from behind in which he jumps a little before his body relaxed.
"I'm sorry" I sniff in his scent and he turns back at me taking my face in his
"No, I should be the one to apologize" I smile kissing him. He looks at me with sadness then he smiles a bit. "Do you want this, you becoming my luna?" he asked nervously and I smile replying to him with a yes.
We kiss once again before we parted our ways and I went back to my room to find Gia and grandma there.
Wesley is crawling in his crib clapping his hands before he reaches out for me. I kiss him on the forehead about to take him in my arms when grandma shook her head no and ushers me in the shower.
Afterward, she and Gia help me out with my dress, which surprises me that she still has my mom's dress. It wasn't long but perfectly outline my curves and fall two inches above my knees.
Gia fixes my hair letting my hair down freely before putting a flower to my left hair. She then fixes my makeup and after they finish they both look at me with tears in their eyes.
"What a lucky mother fucking bastard to have you," Gia says not even bothering to limit her words around my grandma.
She is in tears and they both hug me tightly before pulling away and Gia went up and carry Wes in her arms.
I stood there in the packhouse living room nervously all by myself. That is all I'm feeling right now. I know I shouldn't make rational decisions like this but still whether I wanted later it's going to be still the same.
I am supposed to be their future luna and right now is better than never.
The death of my father I will forever mourn but living my life is something that I should do because I have to.
I saw the lights deem then a path of fire lit the way on both sides as I walk in the middle. It was like having a human wedding except here right now is our marking ceremony and me anointing as a luna.
Becoming a luna is accepting my mate wholeheartedly and I agree to lead next to him forever. I took small steps then I felt warm hands on both of my elbows.
Looking to my left side I saw my mom smiling. This could only be a dream right I ask Alera but she didn't respond. I look to my right and dad gave me an assuring smile.
A tear slips out of my eyes as I felt the warmth of their presence on my sides. They may not be here physically but now I know their spirit never left me.
I felt courage as their spirits guide me to my mate and his pack. Each step I take I felt myself closer and closer to him until I saw him standing there in his pure white long sleeve shirt and trouser.
Smiling I walk up to him taking his hands into mine. He pulls me towards him then kisses my cheek "you are stunning" I just smile not knowing what to say but only thanks.
I am grateful that my parents were with me tonight. Taking a look around I saw the Alpha and luna of the Moon bridge, then Daluna Pack and the Crimson. The Crescent luna and her mate were here too.
I didn't know many people are here to witness our mating. I smile when I saw our pack members smiling at me. There was no disdain or even glare in our way except their warm and welcoming smile.
It makes me feel confident and proud to be their soon-to-be luna in another 20 minutes.
Currently, I'm not a luna but just his Mate it would change after our vows declaration.
Matteo squeeze my hand and I tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek before we turn and knelt.
An elder stood before us, she is a representative of the council for our ceremony tonight. She doesn't smile or even has any emotion expressed on her face.
She mumbles something in an ancient language before raising her voice towards the gathering crowd.
She then let us exchange our vows and the list of laws and rules I should abide by.
Afterward, we did mark each other to seal our blood bound together as one with our pack.
