The Late shifter

Chapter 9 The Ceremony

Lilly

It was almost time for the ceremony when a knock came to the door. “Are you ready?” came the voice of Luchian my father. “Yes I am d..dad.” I said, knowing this was the first time I addressed him as dad I wanted him to know I accepted him as my dad. The door swung open after the world left my lips and I was engulfed in a tight warm hug. “Thank you” was all he could say. Behind him Jack came in “I just want you to know that I am glad to have an older sister I didn't really want to be the next King sorry dad” Jack said “It's okay son”, Luchian said. “I am glad that I have a great dad and, wonderful brother” I said smiling. Gram-gram broke in. “Don't mess up her clothes and makeup, we don't have time to fix it” she scorned.

We began the walk out to the stage that we had that was built by the lake in the clearing. As I walked to it I saw the most beautiful yellow and red flowers lined everywhere and in the center of the stage was a pedestal with a crown and tiara on them I wondered what they were for this kinda looked like a human wedding I saw in a few movies I watched. There were rows of seats and there was a carpet rolled out that looked like the night sky and there were yellow and red roses on both sides of the isle. It was breathtaking. The pack was all standing at their seats as Luchian led me up the isle to the stage. As I turned around I saw Thomas coming up the isle and I smiled. He looks so sexy in a suite that looks like my dress.

Alpha King

“Tonight under the full moon with the stars shining bright you will bear witness to not only the marking of a Luna but the crowing for a princess” Luchian boomed loudly and the pack gasped. “a what” “no he didn't say” “how she has no wolf” “Jack is the prince” “Did Jack find his mate” I could hear all the whispers going around so I put a stop to them. “Lilly” I stretched my hand for her to take it. “Is my Daughter she is the oldest of my children and so she is the next in line” I smiled at her. I grabbed the tiara. “Lilly please kneel”, she sank onto the pillow “I Alpha King Luchian crown you Lilly my daughter as the crowned Princess to be my successor to the throne you are the eldest so you are the strongest and once I am no longer able to rule you will rule in my stead do you accept and promise to be a good and just princess” I said “I do” she said and I lowered the tiara onto her head. No one said anything they were shocked silent “you may stand Crowned Princess Lilly” I held her hand and helped her to her feet. Surprisingly everyone bowed except one in the back I couldn't see her face but I would find out who dare disrespect my daughter like that. I motioned for Thomas to come stand beside her.

“Thank you all my father has told me because I am a princess and Thomas is an Alpha. I must clam him as my Alpha and Mate marking him first so we will now be doing that.” I said with confidence I didn't feel till this tiara was placed on my head I remembered the paper that Thomas had wrote for me to say he told me my dad had said this was what was to be said so I took a deep breath and faced my mate. “I Lilly Crowned princess daughter of Alpha king Luchian take you Alpha Thomas as my mate and Alpha to rule beside me as my equal with the blessing of the moon goddess we will become one do you accept?” I said looking into his eyes. “I do” he said smiling at me I cupped his cheek and leaned in taking in his sent and I kissed the tender spot on his neck where I am to mark him then I bit down hard tasting him letting his blood fill my mouth and his scent poor into me. I let go and licked it healing it closed leaving behind my mating mark that looked like a big bruise right now I wonder what the image will be once it is healed in a few days. My father stepped forward. “now it is time for Alpha Thomas to mark his Luna” he said.

Alpha Thomas

I felt her kiss and sparks felled the spot. It tingled she bit down and it made me weak in the knees oh how it felt good I felt the connection of her wolf I knew once I mark her she will feel mine too. She let go and licked the bite but I knew that it would look like a bruise for a few days I cant wait to she her image upon my neck. Luchian said its my turn now. Here we go the final step to having my mate. “I Thomas Alpha of the moon stone pack take you Crowned Princess Lilly Daughter of Alpha King Luchian as my mate and Luna to rule beside me as my equal with the moon goddesses blessing do you accept?” I said holding her gaze “I do” she said in her soft sweet voice I then did the same as her I kissed the spot I was going to mark on her neck and then I bit into the flesh sending the surge the connection of us making us one our scent mixed completely everyone will know we are mates no mistaking it we will smell almost alike. I let go and licked the spot healing it leaving behind a bruise I wondered what my mark will look like once healed.

Alpha King

“Wonderful” I said while walking up to them “One last thing are you ready” I said looking at Thomas “I am Alpha King Luchian” he said I replied “Alpha Thomas please kneel” Thomas drops onto his knees onto the same pillow Lilly had just kneelt on. “I Alpha King Luchian crown you Alpha Thomas of the crescent moon pack my daughter Crowned Princess Lilly’s mate as Crowned Prince Thomas once I am no longer able to rule you and Crowned Princess Lilly will rule in my stead together as equals do you accept and promise to be a good and just prince?” I said “I do” he said I then took the crown and placed it on his head as soon as the crown was in place there was a blinding light and everything went still. I looked out to see the moon goddess standing looking out to me “I bless this mated pair and Luchian because you have done the right thing I have something special coming to your family you soon will know what it is but know this it will be good and it will bring my childen closer” the angelic voice said and as quickly as she was here she was gone.

After the ceremony we had a big feast at the pack house “Dad do I have to always wear this tiara it is kind of flashy for me?” I asked Luchian. He laughs “You only have to wear it during formal occasions If you noticed I didn't have my crown on when I came only when I did the ceremony.” he said “oh then were will I keep it do we have a safe or anything my love?” I asked Thomas. “We do but the crown and tiara have to be kept in extra secure because they are not only valuable but they are powerful.” he said I was shocked maybe that's why I had a confidence boost after dad put it on my head. “bring the secure box.”Luchian said. They brought out this big black box that had a finger print scanner and a retinal scanner even a pin code. “wow that's really secure” I said shocked. “we will take it up to your room and set it so only you and Thomas are able to open it” Luchian said. So we went up and got the box set up to me and Thomas and we put the tiara and crown inside then we locked it into our safe in our room that only me and Thomas could open. “I feel better now that they are in there.”

I hadn’t noticed everyone else was gone until Thomas grabbed my waist from behind and began to unzip my dress. “I need to take a shower” I said and I bolted toward the bathroom that was in our room goddess our room I haven't ever been with a man I am nervous I don't know what to do. I let the dress fall to the floor I let my hair fall to my back and I stepped into the warm water and let it run down me. I grabbed my face wash and scrubbed the makeup from my face. As soon as the face wash rinsed from my face I felt arms rap around me from behind “I need a shower too” Thomas whispered in my ear” oh my goddess he is in here with me naked I haven't ever... what do I do I thought. “don't worry love I will be gentle” he said “I haven't ever done this before” I said as I began to feel hot. “that's okay I haven't ether.. look at me my love” he said I turned around slowly and I saw him his 8 pack and the V that went straight down to his hard member. I don't think it will fit I thought to myself feeling my body get hotter. Thomas rubbed his hand down my back and I felt the heat in my body I felt like I was being burned from the inside out then all of a sudden I felt dizzy and the room began to spin and I saw blackness……
