Chapter 121
Thane pulls me to him and kiss me on my forehead. A single tear lides down his cheek and gets caught in his dimple. He quickly wipes it away just as I hear Cyrus yell “Yes! That’s my girl. Pay up Damon.” and I laugh to myself. I think I just help Cyrus win a hundred bucks.” I tell him. “I hear that little wolf. I will make sure he gives you a cut. he pulls me in close to him and has his arm wrapped around my waist.
“Very well. Ayla, do you swear to stand by alpha Thane, to honor the Midnight Pack and make the pack and the shifters within it your top priority, aside from your mate of course? Do you swear to serve this pack if and when the time comes as determined by yourself and alpha Thane when you are ready? Thane made me read that part, but you get the gist. When you are ready do you swear to serve this pack as our luna?” He all but practically shouts out trying to include and condense the paragraph Thane wrote about me being physically and emotionally ready. I smile thinking about how he is always looking after me.
“Yes, I swear as a new member of the Midnight Pack to lead at Thane’s side. To keep the pack as my top priority, guarding and protecting our way of life.” I include the last part per wishes of my wolf. She seems to be thinking ahead for when we make our gifting known. Maybe planting seeds early that I am to help protect this pack and their way of life and that seeing my gifting will become a new norm. am not sure, but I am trusting her instincts. Something I need to do more to strengthen our connection with
each other.
“As we all can see, you have completed the mating bond and are now a bonded fated mate pair. I declare you Alpha Thane and Luna Ayla of the Midnight Pack and I now declare you Ayla as Ayla Knight. The new luna of the Midnight Pack. Elder James finishes the ceremony, and we turn to each other. Thane sweeps me up to his chest and bends down planting a deep, hungry kiss on my mouth. I immediately blush and cling to him more tightly. Feeling each other arousal through the bond will take some time to get used to as I feel it in the bond and then it immediately goes straight to my core.
We break apart and look at the pack of shifters clapping, yelling and throwing flowers towards me. I am nervous, but also ecstatic. went from not having a home, a family, to getting everything I could possibly want within such a short period of time. I almost feel guilty for giving up hope so long ago. I also feel guilty Thane’s family and my family aren’t here. His sister would be screaming and jumping up in down, ecstatic for us. Telling me she told me so. She was right, but the memories flooding back hurt. Thane squeezes me tight. The look in his eyes tells me that he understands the feelings of guilt. Probably because he is starting to feel them to. When we let our feelings in it hurts so damn bad, but I am determined not to ruin this night. We can overcome this. We can enjoy the life we are supposed to have. Starting now. I grab Thane’s suit coat and pull him down to me hard, kissing him as I can’t get enough of him.
