Lunar Goddess

Marking Ceremony

Rory

“Wow! You look amazing.” I said as I entered.

She looked at me shyly. In a meek voice she said, “Thank you! I’ve never worn anything like this before. It's so nice and revealing.”

“Only the best for my future wife and queen.” I reached out gently and took her hand and kissed it. A thousand sparks ran through my lips. My p***s pulsated. God, I want her here and now but we have a mating ceremony to attend. “Shall we go, my dear,” I was still holding her hand and led her towards the door.

She stopped and looked at me. “ I...I guess. Are you sure this is what you want? You could reject me. I'm not exactly a catch. I'm not that pretty and not at all pure. What would other people think?”

I couldn't believe what she just said. “I wouldn't have anyone else.” From the moment I saw her I knew she was the one for me. My wolf wanted her and my human wanted her. Everything about me wanted her.

She makes me want to run around like a school girl yelling about how I found my mate. I would scream it from the mountain tops. She made my heart flutter and my wolf went insane the instant I saw her. All those feelings and we just met. It angered me that she thought she wasn't good enough. I wanted to rip Cane limb from limb for this.

I realized I was still holding her hand while i was lost in thought. “Let's go, everyone is waiting. No need to worry about everyone else and what they think. After all, you are with the Alpha King. No one will question me.” I escorted her out of the room.

I led her down the empty hallway. I could tell she was impressed with my castle. It was more immaculate and luxurious than any other castle ever. She kept looking around at all the sculptures and paintings. We finally reached the bottom of the steps and stopped in front of the double doors leading to the ballroom.

I turned and looked at her. “Are you ready?”

“ I guess don't leave me though. I never got to attend balls or anything at Castle Rivulet.” She looked so scared.

I sighed. She was kept locked up in her old life and never allowed to do anything. Well, unless Cane said it was OK. Apparently, he wasn't OK with a lot.

I looked at her and cupped her cheeks. “I am right here, and I will never leave you.”

As i was speaking, the doors to the ballroom swung open.

She looked at me confused. “What? How did they know we were outside?”

“Mindlink. I announced we were here.” I said.

“Oh.” she said.

We entered, and all eyes were on us. Everyone was stunned by her beauty. We walked to the center of the ballroom all eyes on her. There were two thrones stationed on a platform. My father was standing in front of it dead center. Next to him, my beta was holding a pillow with two crowns. One for me and one for her. We stopped in front of my father. As we did, my father raised his hand. The whole room went silent.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” My father said in a loud and clear voice. “ We have gathered here today to announce the mating of our Alpha Rory. Rory, you have found your mate. You may speak her name and claim her as yours.”

I looked at Nyx. “Nyx Boginya, Princess of the Rivulet Wolf, I claim you as my one true mate. The goddess lead me to you and i will never let you go,” I placed a gold ring with a giant ruby on her finger.

My father looked at her. “Nyx Boginya of the Rivulet wolves, King Alpha Rory Rituath, King of all Alphas and wolves, has claimed you and you will become Luna of the Creol Pack and Queen of all.. Do you agree and feel the same?”

“Yes. I Nyx Boginya of the Rivulet wolves take King Alpha Rory Rituath, King of all Alphas, take you as my mate.” She had the biggest smile on her face. It was actually the first time I had seen a joyous smile on her face since I met her. It melted my heart and made it sore.

The Beta walked forward, and my father took both the crowns and held them over

our heads. “Rory, you have already been crowned king, so this is already yours.” He put my crown on my head. “ Nyx with this crown you take on the royal responsibilities of this kingdom. You will be our Luna. Do you promise to support our Alpha? Protect our lands and people. ”

In a clear voice she said, “Yes.” Her eyes never left mine

He placed the crown on her head.” Creol Pack, I give you your new luna”. The crowd cheered at his proclamation.

He raised his hands and everyone went silent. “One last thing and you are official. Marking each other.”

She looked scared when he said that. It makes sense since she had never been to a mating ceremony before. She probably thought that the marking part was done in private since it's such an intimate, bonding, Yes, it was painful, but the connection it creates is something magical.

I turned to her. “ Are you ready?” I asked.

She tilted her head, giving me access to the marking spot. “I'm ready.

I leaned in and bit the spot just above her collar bone.. She flinched but then instantly relaxed. She moaned. Markings hurt at first, but after a second it gives you the euphoria and s****l pleasure. I licked the little trail of blood that trickled down her neck.

I tilted my neck and told her, “ I'm ready.”

I didn't flinch. I did, however, have to fight the strongest urge I had ever felt before. I wanted to take her to the marble floor right then and there,

After she licked the trail of blood from my neck, the crowd erupted into a loud roar. I grabbed her hand and booked it through the castle. The wolves have and accept their new Luna.
