Rejection Before Karma

Chapter 10

It's been three weeks since the gang found out about Colton and I. To say that everything was going perfect was an understatement. Colton was by my side every moment he could be without fail. I was loving it. Too much if I'm honest. I've started taking over some of the duties much to Colton's dismay but after one stern look he relented but on the condition that I see to no extreme duties. He was happy that I agreed and it made my heart melt every time he gave me his heart-stopping smile.

Tonight is the night where I will be presented to the pack as the official Luna. My nerves were all over and my appetite was fluctuating. My hands were sweating so much that I resolved to carrying a handkerchief around with me all the time. Every sound was making me jump and my other senses was on high alert as well. It was my wolf trying to make sure that nothing goes wrong. She wouldn't want another situation like the rejection to happen. She was getting her alpha mate one way or another. See why they call female dogs bitches? My wolf is a prime example of one.

See, me being presented can be described as a pre-engagement between Colton and I. It is inevitable that we will get married but this goes deeper than that. This presentation is the official joining of two alpha mates as one before the Mother Nature Goddess, Gaia. Basically I will accept all duties of being a luna, accept Colton's pack as mine, yada yada yada, all other oaths, then comes the fun part; Colton has to mark me. This is joining the animal side for us. Unification for wolves and Weddings for our human side.

Ketzia....

My name was called and I turned around expecting to find someone standing behind me. No one was. I immediately honed in on my senses- both wolf and extra. My position was one that allowed me to run if I needed to or if I wanted to fight.

Ketzia...

My name was called again. I started regretting taking a walk in the forest, even if it was to get rid my nerves. Guess the forest helped one way or another. My eyes scanned the trees and a shadow caught my eye. My head whipped in the direction and I saw a piece of a white skirt float out from behind a tree not too far from me.

"Come out!" I ordered and a slender hand moved into view. Slowly a woman walked out from behind the tree. My breath caught. She was absolutely beautiful. Raven black hair fell down in long waves to her thighs. Different flowers littered it and practically glowed in the evening light. The pinks and oranges giving her a warm glow that seemed to spread through my body. Multi-coloured eyes stared at me with a warmth and kindness I haven't seen in anybody's eyes in my entire life. Irises that was a startling blue in the middle fading into a green that changed colour when the light touched it. The green was flecked with what I could swear was a direct match for gold. But that's not only where the gold ended. There was a thin ring around the green. The entire iris was ringed in black which melted into the gold flecks like ink in liquid gold. Her skin was creamy porcelain which made her features stand out even more. Her pink lips was set in a kind smile.

Standing in front of me in a white dress with little assortments of flowers the lady stood waiting for me to speak.

I shook myself, "Who are you?" I cursed that my voice shook a little towards the end so I cleared my throat and made myself glare at her.

The lady chuckled a musical laugh that had my defenses melt instantly. I should've started panicking and I tried to make myself panic and reach out in the pack link but a feeling of warmth wrapped around me like a blanket and I gave into the feeling. Whether I actually wanted to or not was still unclear to me but I couldn't bring myself to care. Who was this lady?

The mystery woman opened her mouth and let out a small whistle. Nature's creatures immediately started sounding out, creating a song that had me closing my eyes and soaking it all in. I was immobile. It was like I was there but not there at the same time. The feelings that flowed through me was indescribable and unbelievable. I felt like I was floating and I didn't once think what was happening. I was completely happy just where I was. With my eyes still closed I felt the woman step closer to me. With a breath almost too low to hear she started singing:
