Goddess Gifted Mate

Luna Ceremony

Before she could explore the mind-linking further, Thane's mother, Akira, came barging into the room. Freya, still naked from the night's activities with Thane, hugs the sheets close to herself, trying to cover herself. "Wake up you two, we have a lot to do today if the Luna ceremony is to go without a hitch," Akira exclaimed. She heads into the bathroom and grabs a bathrobe and hands it to her. Freya looks relieved as she slips on the bathrobe. She was then led to the closet and Akira picked out an outfit for her to wear that day. "We are going straight to the spa first thing, then we will pick up your Luna dress, and we will end the day with hair and makeup. For now, put this on so we can get going. We are already running late." Once Freya is dressed, Thane gives her a tender hug and kisses good morning before his mother hurriedly leads her out of the room. Smiling softly to himself, Thane watches his mother hurry Freya out the door, feeling grateful for his loving mother, who has taken Freya under her wing and is helping her prepare for the Luna ceremony. Akira leads Freya to the pack village to the spa, getting checked in for their spa day. The soothing ambiance of the spa envelops them, promising a relaxing oasis amidst the pre-ceremony bustle, as Akira ensures Freya receives the royal treatment to unwind and rejuvenate. They started with the mud bath first. The warm, earthy scent of the mud envelops Freya, promising to detoxify and soften her skin, as she gently messages the rich mixture into every inch of her body. The mud bath lasted an hour, and afterward they got out and showered and got into the soft bathrobes provided. Wrapped in comfort, Freya feels her muscles relax and her mind calm, as she savors the warmth and tranquility of her surroundings, her senses indulging in the simple pleasures of the moment. They were then led to a room where they would receive a message. Because they were mated with werewolves, they had women as their masseuses. When Freya noticed this she asked, "Why aren't there any male masseuses?" "Being mated to a werewolf means that you can't be touched by another male anymore. Because of the mate bond, Thane would feel it and cause him pain," Akira explained. Freya's eyes widened and asked, "Pain? How?" "It would feel like awful cramps, or like someone was stabbing a knife in his gut. It goes both ways too, dear. If he were to betray you, you would feel it. You two also share an emotional connection. If you're feeling upset, he will sense it. If you are scared, he will feel it too. He will also feel your pain if you get hurt as if it was his own." It unsettled Freya, knowing that she was connected to Thane in such a way, but also comforted her to know that the bond would detur them from betraying one another, and it would also protect them when in danger, even if they were apart. Once they are done getting their massage, they are led to another room where they get manicures and pedicures. Freya chose pale blue for the color of her nails, a perfect color combining the color of her blue eyes and the white Luna dress she was wearing for the Luna ceremony. The treatments lasted all morning and part of the afternoon. When they were done, they headed back to the pack house. Once there, there was a woman waiting for them in Thane's and Freya's room. Akira greeted her, "Good evening Sarah! Are you ready to transform the Luna?" Sarah smiled and bowed her head and said, "Yes!" Freya looked at Akira with a confused look on her face. "Sarah is going to do your hair and makeup dear. She's the best in the business!" Akira explained. Sarah works her magic, transforming Freya's long brown locks into luscious waves and subtle highlights that accentuate her natural beauty, complemented by a flawless, radiant complexion and striking eye shadow that brings out the sparkle in her blue eyes. By the time Sarah is done with Freya's makeover, it's 3pm and the ceremony starts at 4pm. The timing fits perfectly, leaving some buffer for Freya to adjust to her stunning new look and get settled into her Luna dress and tiara. Akira looks at Freya, pride in her eyes, seeing how beautiful she is. Freya took a deep calming breath as she prepared to exit the room and head to the stage outside the pack house. When Thane sets his eyes on her in her Luna dress and new makeover for the first time, it steals his breath away. He couldn't believe this beautiful woman was his mate. He was frozen in place, not wanting to take his eyes off of her. Freya walks up to Thane and caresses his cheek with her hand, assuring him that she's not a dream. "Thane, breath baby," she giggles. Thane finally blinks, and leans into her touch. "You look stunning my love. I am the luckiest man intoe entire universe to have you as a mate." Thane's words are so tender, they bring out Freya's blush, and he can see her sparkle with happiness, feeling cherished by her loving mate. Thane then takes her by the hand and leads her to the stage. As they walked towards the stage, the crowd's attention shifted to them, sensing the chemistry and love radiating from Thane and Freya, building anticipation for the Luna ceremony. Thane led her to the center of the stage where there was a podium which held the chalice and ceremonial knife. The crowd's sudden silence creates an air of reverence, as if everyone is holding their breath in anticipation of what's about to unfold, their eyes fixed on Thane and Freya standing together on stage. Thane began to address the pack, "Members of the Lunar Pack, we are gathered here tonight to officially accept Freya as my mate and your Luna!" His mother picks up the chalice and ceremonial knife, while Thane turns to Freya and asks, "Freya, Goddess of Love and Magic, my mate, do you solemnly swear to uphold the laws and traditions of the Lunar Pack? do you swear to love and protect every pack member as if they were your own children? And finally, do you swear to love and cherish me as your mate, stand beside me and lead the Lunar Pack by my side as equals?" Freya, standing tall and confident says, "I solemnly swear to do so." Akira walks up to Freya and takes ther hand in hers, slices the knife over her palm, turning it over and letting the blood drip into the chalice. She then takes Thane's hand and does the same. When their blood mixes, the pack link forms, symbolizing their unity as a family, and a surge of new connections and emotions starts flowing through Freya, deepening her bond with Thane and the entire pack. The mind-links from the pack came flooding through her mind. It overwhelmed her, and she grimaced, realizing that it would take some getting used to. Thane saw the pained expression on her face and said, "It won't always be like that love. Normally it will only be one at a time." He rubbed her temples, easing the pain of the first pack mind-link. When the pain eased a bit she linked back, "Thank you everyone! I am honored to be your Luna!" Thane's eyes went wide. She had just mind-linked the entire pack at once. That had never been done before.
