Forbidden Love

The Luna Ceremony

Alpha Bryer

Lyla had a date with him. She dated that new wolf, Nico. The odd wolf who had no smell. And, she said that he was her Mate. How could he win her now. He can't give up. He needed her too much.

He walked over to her house and knocked on the door. He could tell she was crying heavily when she answered the door. He didn't say anything at first, he just wrapped his strong arms around her, pulled her to him and held her. She sobbed softly against his chest as he stroked her hair. He let her cry for awhile before he asked, "What happened, Love?"

"Nico lied to me. He was not who I thought he was," she cried. He broke her heart. Secretly, his heart lept. She wasn't dating that sly scumbag anymore. He let's Nico join his pack and the dog steals his girl.

"Nico wasn't good enough for you. I was meant for you," he said as he put his fingers under her chin and tilt her head up so that she was staring into his eyes. Then, with all sincerity he said, "I love you," and kissed her with wild, firey passion. His kiss was hungry for her, longed for her, needed her. She was the one.

"You are so good to me," said Lyla. "Thank you for being there for me."

"I'll always be there for you. Be my Luna. You are perfect for the position and I love you dearly. Will you do it?" he asked her.

"I don't know. That is a lot to ask. Being Luna is huge," she stated.

"I know, I know, but the only one that can do this is you. You were made for this. You are charming, graceful, compassionate, kind, merciful, gentle and pure. Your soft, sweet, yet strong nature balances mine. I can be too ruthless, hard, and fierce. I need you to bring balance to our pack's leadership by ruling beside me. And, I love you. I want you beside me because I am in love with you, too."

"I love you, too. I do. I will do it. I will be your Luna," she said. The second she finished what she was saying, he picked her up and spun her around in utter joy. He kissed her passionately, wildly. He inhaled her and drew in her scent of vanilla and spring flowers. God, how he loved her.

"Wewill have the ceremony tomorrow night. Here," he said as he handed her a credit card. "Take this and go shopping with your friends and choose your Luna dress tomorrow. I will handle setting up the ceremony for tomorrow at seven."

"So soon?" she questioned.

"Yes, yes, the sooner the better," he declared. He hugged her and kissed her forehead ashe held her.

Alpha Bryer left to begin preparations for the very next day. He spoke to Jim, the Head of General Workers, the men who do various types of labor needed around the pack. Jim bowed when he saw him. Then Alpha Bryer said, "Jim, I am having a Luna Ceremony tomorrow at seven. Have long tables out there as well as several round tables and chairs surrounding the dance floor and in front of the stage."

Jim replied, "It will be done, Alpha."

Alpha Bryer then mind-linked Head Chef Luke, "Please prepare gourmet foods for a Luna Ceremony. Have the servers place them on the long tables, with chilled champagne and refreshments.It will be tomorrowat seven."

"Yes, Alpha Bryer. The most delectable dishes I've ever made will be served," replied Chef Luke.

Alpha Bryer then contacted their event planner through mind-link, "I am having a Luna Ceremony tomorrow at seven, I need the ball room decorated. I already contacted Chef Luke about the food and Jim about the tables. I entrust you to take care of the rest."

"Oh, I am so excited! Congratulations Alpha Bryer. I will make sure everything is perfect!" she exclaimed.

Alpha Bryer than went to the tailor to have a tux made for him. He was beside himself with excitement.

The following day, approaching seven, Alpha Bryer went to Lyla's house and he knocked.

"Come in," she said. When he opened the door, what he saw took his breath away.

She wore a shimmering silver gown that draped to her ankle and a long slit all the way up to her upper thigh. It was low cut with spaghetti straps and a low back. She was a radiant, sultry beauty in that risqué dress. She was an immensely beautiful girl that transformed into a truly ravishing woman. He found it difficult to control himself. He held his breath and clenched his fists in agony trying to restrain his impulses. Then, he took a deep breath and said, "You look incredibly beautiful beyond words. I am truly blown away by how amazing you look."

"Thank you. You look mighty classy in that tux. I love it," she replied.

He held out his hand and said, "Shall we?" She took his arm and they walked to the ball room. On the way to the entrance, she saw him, her Mate. Her Destined One. Nico. He was half-hidden behind a bush. Hidden enough where most wouldn't see him, but his Companion would surely sense him.

They went inside and the place looked amazing. The decorum was so ornate and complex. The gourmet food made her mouth water. The whole place fulfilled fantasies of richness and magic to the senses. She just looked everywhere taking it all in.

"Oh, Alpha Bryer, this is just so much," she said utterly impressed.

"You like it?" he asked, smiling.

"Oh, what an understatement. I love it! Words just can't express how decadent and fantastically fancy everything is."

He pulled her close and proceeded to walk her to the stage to conduct the ceremony. She paused and said, "One moment, Darling. I just need a breath of air. I'll be right back." She walked outside and heard his voice....her Companion.
