Under the light of the full moon, the mating ceremony of the Blood Moon pack's Alpha had reached its final moment. A joyful atmosphere blanketed the entire square, smiles of blessing spread across every face as they awaited the destined moment.
On the ceremonial stage, Raven stood facing Evelyn. In his hand was a laurel wreath woven from mint leaves and white roses, the sacred symbol of the mating ritual. His fingers clenched around it tightly, as if trying to suppress the intense emotions roaring inside him.
Evelyn lifted her chin proudly, eyes shining with anticipation. Just one final step remained, Raven would place the wreath on her and speak the oath, and the ceremony would be complete. The entire pack would then officially acknowledge the eternal bond between their Alpha and Luna.
