Alpha Kale nods his head in approval. Frey's explanation cleared up his concerns, as light magic working in harmony with nature and the host reduces the risk of unpredictable outcomes, making her elemental gifts seem more trustworthy. They all agreed to be part of the alliance and scheduled a time and place to meet up in person. There they would go over battle strategies and Freya would give the warriors gifts. They agreed to meet next weekend since Freya's Luna ceremony was tomorrow, and they wanted to get that done first. The Alphas parted on a united note, and it set a positive tone for their future. Having Freya's Luna ceremony out of the way would allow them both to focus on the impending battle against Malaki. Once the meeting was over and the other Alpha's departed from the screen, they all let out a relieved sigh. They had done it! They had formed an alliance with all three of the packs, and including their Lunar pack, all four of them would join forces against Malaki. Now that the alliance is formes, they can focus on the Luna ceremony, knowing they have the support of the other packs to face the looming threat of Malaki. They all congratulated each other with a hug and Ryker, Ryder and Asher left the office, leaving Thane and Freya alone. With the door closed behind them, Thane turns to Freya, his eyes full of warmth and adoration, and whispers, "Are you ready for tomorrow?" She beamed up at him and said, "I can't wait! I'm finally becoming part of a family that I've always dreamed of. I can't wait to become the pack Luna!" Her words capture the depth of her longing for belonging and love, and Thane's eyes shine with tenderness as he gazes at her, his heart swelling with emotion. He couldn't wait either. Tomorrow Freya would become the Luna of the pack, and he couldn't be more proud to have Freya as a mate. He takes Freya by the hand and leads her out of the office, and they head to the kitchen to see what Willow is making for lunch. After the five-hour conference call, they were starving. As they enter the kitchen, the aroma of Willow's cooking fills the air, making their stomachs growl in anticipation, and Willow greets them with a warm smile, asking, "How did the meeting go?" "Great! Freya is a natural. She convinced them all to join and alliance with us all by herself!" Thane beamed. Willow's eyes widened and said, "That's amazing! But why do we need an alliance with all three packs Alpha?" They explained everything to her in detail, and after they were done, Willow whistled, "Wow. That's a lot to put on one person's shoulders. You sure are strong, Luna, to have survived all of that and still stand tall. I'm so proud you will become our Luna tomorrow night! We all have your back dear." Freya hugs Willow and thanks her. Willow smiles back and serves them a plate for lunch to eat privately in the kitchen together and proceeds to head to the dining hall to serve the rest of the pack. Thane wraps his arms around Freya's waist, pulling her close as they sit down to enjoy their lunch together, the warmth and comfort of the moment filling the quiet kitchen space. When they finished eating, Thane took Freya on a walk to show her around the pack grounds. The sunlight casts a warm glow over the landscape as they stroll hand in hand, taking in the sights and sounds of the pack grounds, Freya drinking in every detail of her new home. The pack was secretly nestled in the woods, the nearest human town about two hours away. The remote location provided the perfect setting for the pack to maintain their secrecy and live in harmony with nature, far removed from prying human eyes. The pack members can shift freely here, without humans accidentally seeing them. It was so peaceful here too. Freya could see herself building a life and a family here with Thane. The tranquility of the surroundings seems to be weaving a spell of contentment around Freya, as she envisions a future filled with love, family, and freedom to herself, surrounded by the beauty of nature. Freya spent the rest of the afternoon with Thane, going to all the shops and getting to know the pack members better. While on their walk, Thane's mother, Akira, greeted them and stole Freya away for an hour to help her pick out a Luna dress for her ceremony tomorrow. Akira had a vision of the perfect dress for Freya, and with her keen eye for style, helped her find a stunning gown that would make her shine on her special night. Afterward, she told Freya that tomorrow morning the special treatments would start before the ceremony. It would start off with the full spa treatment and end with hair and makeup. Akira's expertise ensured Freya felt pampered and beautiful, ready for the big night ahead. With the special treatments scheduled, Freya would surely radiate elegance and poise during the Luna Ceremony. Akira returned Freya to Thane and said, "Both of you get plenty of rest tonight. You both need to be well rested for tomorrow night's events," she pointed a finger in their direction with a smile. Akira's words were laced with motherly care, her smile hinting at the excitement she knew they'd experience tomorrow night, as she watched Thane and Freya exchange a loving glance, already looking forward to the special evening ahead. "We will Mom. I promise." He kisses his mother on the cheek before she leaves. As they watch his mother leave, Thane leans in to whisper into Freya's ear, "If I'm to keep my promise to my mother to get enough sleep tonight, I think we better head home right now." Freya smirks and in a seductive tone asks, "Why's that?" Thane's voice also gets low and seductive and says, "Because the plans I have for you tonight might keep us up too late. If we start them now, we should get just enough sleep for tomorrow." A gleam sparks in Thane's eyes as he speaks, sending a shiver down Freya's spine, and she raises an eyebrow, intrigued by the possibilities hinted at by his whispered promise. Without another word, they raced home. Once they enter their bedroom, they can no longer contain their desires. They worship each other's bodies in every way imaginable, making love four times. Their passion for each other only grows, and the intensity of their lovemaking leaves them completely spent, drifting off to sleep entwined in each other's arms. The next morning, Thane woke up looking into his beautiful mate's eyes lovingly staring at him. Thane then realized that he totally forgot to tell her that they could mind-link each other now that they were mated and marked. He opened a mind-link to her and said, "Good morning my love." Freya's eyes widened with surprise and shot up looking around the room, searching for someone else in the room. Thane chuckled loudly and said, "Don't be scared love. I just mind-linked you. There's nobody else here." Freya looked him in the eyes, looking for any signs of a lie, that this was some kind of a joke. He chuckled again and mind-linked her, "This isn't a joke love. We can now mind-link each other now that we have mated and marked each other. I forgot to tell you about it earlier with everything else going on." Freya's expression turned to excitement and curiosity and tried to mid-link back, "This is amazing! Can everyone mind-link like this?" Thane smiled and said, "Yes and you will too after tonight."
