A White Moon

Ceremony And Pack Run

We walk out of the packhouse towards the west, there are torches lit up all around us. Makela turns towards us “You look amazing my sweet girls.”

She then turns and walk in front of us towards the front where we can see a small stage, Logan, Robert and another elderly man. Dora grabs my hand and we start walking. A rose petal path leads through the gathering of people, 550 people on our left and right sides are all looking at us.

When we get to the front I let go of Dora’s hand and stand beside Makela in the front row. Dora steps up on the stage where Logan takes a step towards her, his eyes glitter with pride and love. He takes her hand and turn her to face the crowd.

Robert steps forward and speak up “Good evening Red Moon Pack. Tonight, we crown Adorabella Rose our Luna. Elder Joseph, please.”

“Hello Adorabella, my name is Elder Joseph. Please place your right hand over your heart and repeat after me.” Dora does what she is told.

“Do you Adorabella Rose swear to always abide our laws and uphold them? Do you accept the gift of leadership you’ve been given by the Moon Goddess Mother herself until your final breath?”

“I, Adorabella Rose, solemnly swear to do so.”

“Do you swear allegiance to the Red Moon Pack and to its people until your final breath?”

“I, Adorabella Rose, solemnly swear to do.”

“Will you, to the best of your ability, show guidance, love, mercy and support to those who come to you and seek it? Until your final breath.”

“I, Adorabella Rose, solemnly swear to do.”

“Do you swear to always be honest with the Red Moon Packs Alpha? To always stand by his side and help guide him if he, at some point, should stray from his path. To love, cherish and reign with him, until your final breath?”

“Oh I abso-f*****g-lutely swear to do that, all day, every day, until my final breath.” She smile a sly smile. I watch Logan smirk at her with amusement evident in his eyes.

“Alpha, Luna, please hold out your right hands.” Elder Joseph hold a golden dagger in his hand and slit a cut in both their hands. “Put your hands together and unit all as one.”

They held their hands together over a chalice that´s placed on a pedestal to the center side of the stage. A gust of wind blows through the crowd when a few drops of their joint blood lands in the chalice.

“I stand here before you all. And present to you your Luna. My Love and my Luna, Adorabella Rose Williams!” Logan announce.

Logan explained to us beforehand that it is custom in their pack that the new Luna take on the Alphas’ last name. Almost like a wedding. Their mate bond and as soulmates they would never even dream of leaving each other.

Logan and Dora take a step back and face the crowd. Dora looks out over the crowd and then back at Logan. He nods his once. Dora reach her hand out for me, I stand up, take a deep breath and walk up to her side.

Logan speak up. “Tonight, we also welcome the Lunas sister Rochelle, Elle, Maya Black to the Red Moon Pack.” I look out over the crowd and it feels like there's a bunch of butterflies in my stomach. “Elle, do you swear allegiance to the Red Moon Pack, to its Alpha and Luna, and do you promise to abide our laws?”

I turn to face Logan and take another deep breath.

“I vow to do so.” I get a rewarding smile from them both.

Dora is given the dagger and slit a cut in my hand. Then she cut a new one in Logans’, since his first one have already healed. I meet with Logans hand. Not over the chalice though.

A gust of wind swooshes through the crowd once again and I’m struck with a feeling of completeness.

“Now we can talk through our thoughts.” I hear Logan’s voice and when I meet his eyes, his wolf peaks through with the red alpha aura around the irises.

“Hello Miss Rochelle.” The deeper voice is probably the wolf coming through a bit more.

“I am so proud of you.” Dora says in my head.

“But I not a wolf yet!” I protest.

“It won’t matter, me and my Luna accept you into this pack. Therefore it is possible.” Logan answer.

“Plus, it makes it a hell of a lot easier to protect you” a new, but familiar, voice say in my head. I look out over the crowd and see John’s smirk at my confused face. “It’s my little brothers job now. I got my own job to run, even if I love spending time with you kid!”

I look at the guy beside John, he is a little shorter than John. His features isn’t quite as dark, though his eyes are the same dark brown. As I’m taking in his features and put them in my memory I hear his voice “My name is Jacob but you can call me Jake and-“

“NO WAY! I GET MY OWN WOLFIE TWILIGHT PROTECTOR!” I can’t really help it. And apparently all four of them heard me because three of them started snickering while the other one groan.

I grin wide at Jake’s reaction. Logan still held my right hand in his and Dora takes his left hand. He then raise both as high as we reach and the cheers and whistling from the crowd is insanely loud.

“Now our Luna will go up and change, and when she comes down we will go for the pack run!” Logan shouts. The cheering and whistling continue.

He then leads us through the crowd and when we get inside Makela stop us dead in our tracks.

“I want pictures and I want them now! Before we ruin all the hard work on the girls! First all three of you. Then just Alpha and Luna.”

Eight minutes later she is content that she at least got a few choices to choose from. She give us permission to leave and Dora and I run upstairs so I can help her take out the pins in her hair. She then change into a silky pink robe. We bring her other dress with us downstairs, it's a plain short black dress sits tight around her. She goes out where the pack will change and run off together through the mountains. I’m not a wolf so I can’t join in on the run.

So I sat myself on the porch and look at my sisters jet-black wolf.

Next Logan shift into his wolf, he is huge in comparison to my sister and with dark chocolate brown fur. He goes to my sister’s side and nuzzle her neck, before turning to the crowd. That is the sign for everyone else to shift. The ranked member, who´s much more powerful wolves, shift more easily.

Dora’s wolf howl and dart of into the forest with everyone following.
