Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“I just wanted to see you before you go up there and say how proud I am of you, and..you look just like your mother” he says with a soft smile as his eyes tear up.
“Oh dad” she whispers as she carefully hugs him. “I’m so happy you’re here.”
“Me too” he whispers. “Right go do your thing you two, I’ll see you after.”
Uttering my thanks we continue out as two pack members open the rear doors to the gardens and I hear Nova gasp in amazement. There are lanterns adorned around the gardens casting a glow on the surrounding flowers, with white, green and gold fabric draped overhead i see lights which I know Nova will think are beautiful as soon as night falls.
We step down together and walk through the pack members as they all murmur between themselves how amazing Nova looks. Smiling proudly as everyone’s eyes are trained on my Luna I hold her until we reach the steps up to the temporary stage before I kiss her cheek and walk confidently up to the front to address the crowd.
Once the others have taken their place alongside Nova I hold my hand up to gain everyone’s attention and the gardens fall silent.
“Good evening everyone and welcome to our guests that have joined us. Today marks a proud day for the Midnight Sky Pack, our true Lunas ceremony” I say loudly as everybody claps at my words. Walking to the side I watch as Laurence escorts her up the stairs before I take her hand and guide her to the front.
Turning to her with a wide smile as everyone watches eagerly I begin to speak, “Nova Vinrock, by the blessing of the Moon Goddess you were fated to become this packs Luna. Do you, Nova Vinrock, promise to take on the responsibilities of Luna and make them your own?”
“I do” her voice rings out loud and clear as she maintains my gaze.
“Do you, Nova Vinrock, promise to never betray this pack or its members throughout your time as Luna?”
“I do, until I die” she adds on making my smile grow.
“Do you, Nova Vinrock, promise to watch over this pack and its members and protect whenever necessary?”
“I do” she calls clearly her voice never faltering.
As I move to slip the glove on and take the silver knife I see Nova shake her head slightly and I motion for her to instead knowing she won’t be pained. She picks it up gracefully ignoring the loud gasps of those from the crowd at her bare hand touching silver and holds her other hand high before she makes an incision on her palm and lets the blood drop into the chalice I’m holding below. Offering her my hand she repeats the motion allowing mine to drop in also before we clasp our hands together.
“Then repeat after me” I start looking at her eyes once again, “I, Nova Vinrock Luna of the Midnight Sky Pack, vow to protect the pack members with my life, to defend those in need and strengthen everyone. I promise to love and care for the pack members as if they’re my own family and I vow to always stand beside them.”
Hearing her repeat the words I hold the chalice up as she swiftly drinks without wincing or showing any sign of the blood being an unpleasant taste.
“I never want to do that again” she links me though whilst maintaining a straight face making me laugh loudly.
“You wont” I promise back.
Turning to the pack I bring Nova into my side and stand proud, “our Luna..Luna Nova of the Midnight Sky Pack” I shout proudly as everybody begins to cheer loudly and the pack link begins to flood with congratulations.
“I have a couple more announcements i would like to make before we can begin the celebration. I thought it appropriate to also announce the official appointment of Novas own Beta and Gamma. So please can we welcome Beta Naomi and Gamma Alice to the stage” I shout turning to see their shocked faces.
“What?” Naomi asks in confusion as they reach the stage.
“You may be the mated Beta Female but this way, the both of you are Novas Beta and Gamma. It’s appropriate given what she is..no?” I ask them quietly quirking my brow.
“Oh my goddess” Alice whispers as I help them both up to the front. Nova grasps the knife and continues the ceremony to name her Beta and Gamma as the crowd watches on intrigued. Once done drinking from the chalice both Alice and Naomi gasp as their eyes shine with that of their wolves.
“What’s happening?” Theo asks rushing forward concerned for his pregnant mate as the ladies stay quiet for a moment.
“They are gaining some of Kia’s strength” Nova murmurs not worried at all as everyone looks confused.
“Seriously?” Laurence asks in shock.
“Their aura will be stronger and their sense sharpened” Nova explains quietly as I see Kia is present in her eyes.
“Wow..” Naomi murmurs as they turn their attention to Nova after a moment.
“Beta..Gamma” Nova says bowing her head as they respond whilst the crowd cheers loudly.
Stepping forward I speak once again, “I’m sure many of you understand why we deemed it fit for Nova to have her own appointed officers. For those guests who are slightly confused, I’ll explain throughout the evening. Now..enjoy the celebrations!” Taking Novas hand I kiss her softly before pulling back to see her eyes full of life.
“Our Luna” I whisper before pulling her in for another passionate kiss which she responds to just as passionately.
Nova POV:
“That was a surprise” Naomi says as we leave the stage.
“It was meant to be” I smirk, “but you both deserve it and it just makes sense doesn’t it.”
Hearing them both agree I grin before feeling Jax approach. “I’m so proud of you, so strong” he says with admiration as he wraps his arms around my waist.
“I’m glad we got to enjoy this” I say smiling as I turn to face him. “Shall we go mingle?” I suggest looking at the crowd waiting to congratulate us personally.
“Let’s” he agrees eagerly.
“Nova!” I hear my brothers booming voice as he comes running to me before lifting me in the air. “I’m so happy for you” he says emotionally into my ear as he lowers me to the ground. “You are an amazing Luna and you will do a wonderful job for this pack.”
“Thanks Luca” I whisper holding back tears from his words.
“Stunning” Sophie exclaims as she gently hugs me, “you were born for this role..and this dress is made for you.”
“Literally” I say with a laugh, twirling I wink at her, “Alice is talented isn’t she.”
“Very” she agrees.
Seeing her confidence I smile proudly, “you both look extremely happy” I comment to them as Luca holds her close to him.
