The Witch And The Wolf

You Are Mine

His eyes lit up as soon as he saw her, filled with both joy and amusement at his mates attire. He felt certain that the moon goddess herself smiled down on the occasion.

News of Georgia being a Sinclair witch had spread fast. So much so that patrols had been doubled, and access into pack territory had been monitored strictly. They even had to stop access to the lake that ran through their territory incase creatures of the water decided to get nasty.

Georgia noticed the look in Adrians eyes, and it did throw her off a little. She had been awkward growing up, never really fitting in anywhere. The humans made her feel like a freak, constantly teasing and ridiculing her for things that were out of her control. The witches never acknowledged her as anything more than "that useless Winthrope kid". Other supernatural creatures kept to themselves.

And now here she was, an ascended witch soon to be chomped on by a werewolf, bound to be by his side forever. Initially she wasn't entirely sold on the idea however after her ascension she felt the mate bond and it was working pretty fast.

Georgia walked towards her mate, focussing on him and the calm feeling he emitted as she passed the various pack members, trying not to trip over air. Right as she got to him, he held out his hand. She took it, allowing him to guide her next to him. She braved a look at the crowd, seeing her parents standing with Giovanna.

She almost cried of happiness, she had missed her parents more than she thought possible. She turned back to her mate, gripping his hand a little tighter with a soft smile that made his breath hitch.

An older gentleman appeared in front of them, someone Adrian introduced to Georgia as the "body in the werewolf seat of the supernatural committee". Normally there wouldn't be a need for anyone from the committee to officiate a marking ceremony, but because it was an interspecies couple they had to be present.

"Ladies, gentleman and those that wish to be free of title, we are gathered this day under the watchful eye of the Moon Goddess Selene, to witness and confirm the commencement of mating between Alpha Adrian Matteo Lupine and his fated Luna, Georgia Rose Winthrope." He announced, arms out in a dramatic flair. "Turn to one another."

They did as instructed, staring into each other's eyes. Georgia barely resisted the strong urge to pull a face at her mate, wanting to ease the seriousness of the situation with a bit of humour. She also had to resist the urge to kiss him.

Adrian smiled at her, he was glad she was his mate. He liked that he had to work for her, that she didn't just give in all the time. She would be an excellent Luna.

Her heart fluttered. He looked handsome in his white suit, his curls still ruffled and his smile making her insides melt. The feelings that had grown for this man before her were overwhelming, and she had no idea what to do with them.

The councilman cleared his throat. "Have you memorised the vow?" He asked. Adrian nodded. "Proceed."

Georgia raised a panicked brow. A vow? Was I meant to learn one?

Adrian held both of her hands, relishing in the thrum of sparks as he stared into his mates eyes, a low growl emanating from him as he and his beast came together, one eye brown and the other icy blue. She stared back in both fascination and admiration.

"I, Alpha Adrian Matteo Lupine, under the watchful eye of the Moon Goddess and before these witnesses, do vow to make Georgia Rose Winthrope my mate and Luna in all ways. I vow to never force submission, never to harm nor make afraid, never to disrespect the mate granted to me. I vow always to cherish my mate, to counsel with her, to make known that she is my equal." The promise in his voice and in his gaze made her tremble, he meant every word of it.
