“Are you ready for tomorrow?” Kami asked Mat and I, “And your parents too, Mat?”
“Tomorrow is easy for us, we’re just joining a new pack. Aly’s the one who has to go through all the hoopla.”
“Thanks Mat, I can feel the love. Am I ready for all the hoopla, as Mattie put it, no. I dislike hoopla. However; I am 100% ready to join this pack.”
“And to become Luna,” Tristan added with a grin.
“Is anyone ever truly ready to take on that role? Sure we do it, but Luna’s usually aren’t trained their entire life for the role like Alpha’s are. We know who the next Alpha’s will be, Luna’s are a surprise. I’m happy to be in the role by your side, but I’m not sure I’m ready for it yet.” I answered honestly.
“I promise, you will be amaz
We collapsed together on the bed, worn out and very happily satisfied. I slid off him, curling into his side. His arms wrapped around me, holding me close to him, “That was amazing, you are amazing. I love you.” I heard him whisper to me. “So are you. I love you with everything I am.” I murmured back to him. We snuggled for a few minutes before he rolled out of the bed. I sat up a bit and watched him as he walked to the bathroom. I heard the shower start before he came back out and scooped me out of the bed. “I could walk ya know?” I giggled at him. “I know, but I want to take care of you.” He grinned at me and carried me into the bathroom. He stepped into the shower with me and set me gently on my feet. I stepped into the water, relishing in the feeling of the heat
~Tristan~ We woke to someone banging on our bedroom door. I heard Alyce groan and roll away from the sound, snuggling into my chest. “Make it go away…” she grumbled. I wrapped my arms around her, ignoring the door but whoever was out there wasn’t giving up, they banged again. Now I was grumbling, rolling out of the bed with a growl. Alyce burrowed into the blankets, trying to hide from the door and the morning. I cracked the door open, Kami standing there impatiently. I growled softly, “What?” “Don’t growl at me, Mister. Beauty is a long process and I need our Luna. It’s already ten, not my fault if you all stayed up all night.” She shoved in past me and ran, jumping on the bed, right onto Alyce, “Time to rise and shine, Sleeping Beauty!”
~Alyce/Faelyn~ The door to the room opened and Tristan slipped in with the tray of breakfast, Mat right behind him, lingering in the doorway. “No, Sir! Out!” Kami screeched at Tristan. “Kami, let them enjoy breakfast, we can set up everything across the hall while they eat, and then Tristan promises to leave and be a good Alpha-to-be until the ceremony.” Mat coaxed, giving me a narrow eyed look at Tristan when he spoke about his promise. “Absolutely, I promise.” He looked determined to stay for breakfast, regardless of Kami’s answer, but she seemed to think about it for a moment, eyeing him sideways. “Alright, then I don’t wanna see you on this floor until after the ceremony.” Kami conceded as she left with Mat to go prepare
~Alyce/Faelyn~ I could hear the chatter and laughter coming from the crowd downstairs as we exited the elevator. I scanned the crowd, knowing damn well that Tristan was outside. Kami had insisted that he was not allowed to see me before the ceremony. A mating ceremony for us wolves is a lot like a wedding for the Humans, and since our mating ceremony was being rolled into the Luna Ceremony as well as the joining ceremony for Mat, Jake and Faith - well, Kami is putting her foot down about certain things, and only Tristan has tried to argue with her about it, and only Mat has successfully swayed her, even if it was just breakfast. I grinned and giggled to myself thinking over the events of the last two days. Mat gave me a sideway look and I just smiled at him, shaking my head a little. “I’m going to go check on everyone else, and
I snagged Alyce and spun her into my arms, kissing her softly, “I love you, and am proud and honored to have you as my Luna.” I whispered against her lips with a grin. She smiled at me and kissed me again, “I love you too, I will do my best to live up to the expectations of being your Luna. I am lucky to have you as my mate and Alpha.” “Come on, let’s dance.” I tugged her towards the dance floor. “Ok, hold on a minute though.” She said, and I stopped and gave her a quizzical look as she untied the bow at her hip, the skirt of her dress coming away with it. My jaw just about dropped when I saw the full extent of the evening gown. A soft growl coming from my throat. She giggled at me and handed the skirt off to one of the Omegas, asking her to put it up in our room saf
~Matheau~ I was hanging out with Kami, keeping an eye on Alyce and Tristan as they worked the crowd. I wasn’t terribly worried about the group present tonight. Tristan would never put Alyce in danger. Newcomers were starting to file in. I knew the shift change was happening and that some of our guests were arriving late due to other duties, so I was keeping an eye on the movement of people as well. Xavier was bouncing around in my head, excited about something but I couldn’t get him calm enough to tell me what was going on, and then I smelt it… The exotic scent of cinnamon, bergamont, and cedar, *Mate! Mate! Mate!* Xavier chanted excitedly in my head. I followed the scent, letting out a growl as my eyes fell on the source. I didn’t recognize him, ma
~Alyce/Faelyn~ Tristan and I were finishing up with the last of the guests, making sure those that were staying had rooms and that the Omegas knew where to place everyone as the evening was wearing down. “We need to find the Alpha and Luna for Dark Forest before we leave, and make sure they’re aware of the situation.” I scanned the crowd as I spoke to Tristan. He pointed to the couple and we made our way over. “Alpha Killian, Luna Morgan. How lovely to see you again.” Tristan spoke as we approached. “Alpha Tristan, Luna Alyce! Congratulations!” Killian shook mine and Tristan’s hands, Morgan giving us a smile. “Thank you, though that is not what brought us to see you. It’s merely a bonus.” I said with a smile.
~Tristan~ I awoke early, earlier than I normally would, with Alyce wrapped around me like a snake. I couldn’t help but smile at the sight of her, my smile growing at the sight of my mark on her neck. She was now officially mine in every way and I couldn’t be happier. She stirred a little as I ran my fingertips over the mark and I pulled my hand away, not wanting to wake her, and reached up to touch her mark on my neck. It had been an amazing evening. Alyce hadn’t been lying at the party when she told me the wait would be worth it, she had slipped on an open lace baby doll teddy with a garter belt that had matched her Luna gown and the site of her in just that and her stockings and heels when I finally got her gown off was worth every excruciating minute of the party. It had been a long night, and one that neither of us would ever forget. Just thinking about the evening was making
