Grace

"Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations." -Zig Ziglar

I was thankful Luca had allowed no more training until after his ceremony. I had told him I was busy. It was true but it wasn't willingly.I felt more like a maid or housewife than a daughter. My mom and sister had went out to get dresses for themselves. I was hesitant about going to Luca's ceremony. I promised myself I would go. He treated me like someone. Luca never made me feel less than. My attendance there would be a thank you. He may not see me though. Tonight would be my great escape to the freedom of pain and memories. That I so desperately wanted for myself. Even though today was my sister and I's birthday . I knew we wouldn't be spending it necessarily together. She loved to make it my fault was the reason that we weren't close. Even Stevie Wonder could see that lie. "Don't think about her! you need to get ready." my wolf Sliver said. "Fine miss bossy" I said back. I thought about what I do once I leave here. I'll go find information about my real parents. I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I finished packing up some of my stuff in a bag. I knew I wasn't bringing too much with me. It would only slow me down. I started to get ready. I put on a floral romper and converses shoes. it was something to run in. I left my hair done and got ready to go. I walked outside of my house and looked at it. Regardless of the memories, I never gave up on myself. I was proud of me for that. I went to the field where the ceremony was. I stood on the far side of the field. It was perfect for me to get away. I heard Luca being called to the stage. I smelled a scent of woodsy mixed in with eucalyptus. "Mate!!!" My wolf shouted to me. only to look to see Luca looking at me calling my name . I didn't know what else to do so I ran. I heard him following behind me. I ran faster and covered my scent to throw him off. I hid in a cave that was on the pack land. I felt pain radiating through my body. I was shifting all by myself. after 30mins of shifting I finally looked at myself in a hole of water. "Why didn't you tell me we were this color, Sliver?" I asked. All she did was prance and smile. She was a sneaky thing. I had to admit we were gorgeous. No wonder my eyes turned silver. My coat of fur matched my eyes. "We are strong! We won't run. We must face mate" Sliver said. I knew she was right. So we followed his scent. When I finally found him. He looked relieved and amazed! "Mate thinks we are beautiful!" She said. All I could do was blush. He had asked why I ran. All I could do was showed him my back and whisper why. Instead of letting his own anger get in the way. He comforted me. I felt a tear slide down my face when he said happy birthday beautiful. No one acknowledged my birthday today. He did though. I turned towards him and hugged him tighter. He told me I was moving in with him and it wasn't up for debate. All I could do was smile and nod. I wasn't sure I wanted to be in a house with his family. Then again it was better than mine hopefully. We walked to the ceremony to see everyone sitting at the tables. We must've been gone a while. I looked to see my sister sad. Gio glaring at me. Luca growled and dragged me to the stage. I waited next to his mom as his dad officially announced him as alpha. He made a oath in blood with his father to be a good and fair alpha. I smiled at him as he winked at me. "Now I would like to thank everyone for their hard work. Also if anyone tries to hurt or make fun of Grace at all. She or he will be punish as I see fit. That's even goes for my maybe beta and her family." Luca growled out. I wasn't shock he had done that. Luca showed me time and time again what type of person he was. His mom looked so proud of him. I was proud too. We greeted other alphas/ lunas through out the night. Luca showed me off even though I was in just a shirt. I don't think he remember. "I'm ready to go to lay down. I'm tired." I said. He nodded and told his dad to finish for him. We walked into his house and went to his floor. I laid down on his bed and thought how quick life can change. I was worried about Gio though. I also don't think I'm ready to be the pack's luna yet. I expressed this to him. He told me Gio was getting a choice to do better or become a simple warrior. He also understood I wasn't ready to be the luna. I kissed his cheek and closed my eyes. I didn't have to dream of better or to be free tonight. I knew Luca would treat me right.
