Lily's POV
I stood in front of the mirror,taking in my appearance. My body adorned a long white floral dress,my blonde hair curled and cascading down my back.
My blue eyes stared back at me, seeming to look an even more bright blue than they usually did.
Thorought the time it took for me to get ready for the ceremony, Clarissa never once spoke to me. She didn't make eye contact with me, but when I looked at her,I saw her glancing at me.
I saw the glint in her eyes.
She was clearly up to something, but I had been too busy being prepped for the ceremony to figure out what she was planning.
"Come on, Lily,we are going to be late,"Elisa urged me before dragging down the stairs and out of the pack house.
I noticed the decorations that had been hung up. The moon was shining up in the dark sky,the stars peering down at me like small lights lighting up the darkness around me.
I was led to where the pack was gathered. They were seated on wooden chairs,facing an archway. A small passage of lanterns lit up each side of the walkway down to an archway with a small platform underneath it.
As I looked towards the archway,I saw Xavier. He stared at me,his red eyes seeming brighter than they usually were.
The pack turned towards as Elisa joined the crowd and took a seat next to Thomas. I walked down the pathway, and everyone's eyes on me as my made my way towards the front of the pack.
When I got to Xavier,he took my hand in his own calloused one and helped me step up onto the platform.
He slightly smiled at me before turning towards the crowd. "Today,we celebrate the intiation of my mate and your Luna. "Xavier spoke loudly.
I watched as the crowd cheered, Xavier's eyes diverting to me for a second before returning to the pack.
My mate took my hand and reached towards a small dagger. It was silver with a wolf head at the top where it connected to the handle of it.
"Lily, do you except the role of the Luna,do you promise to protect the pack to the best of your ability,to look after the pack and to nurture it?"Xavier asked me.
I looked around at the pack,their smiling faces encouraging me to accept the role of the Luna and be the leader they needed me to be.
Being Luna was a big job, and I wasn't sure if I was up for the responsibilities that came with the role, but then I turned towards my mate.
His eyes bored into mine as I stared at his red irises. His red irises seemed to dim in their colour as I stared into them.
As I gazed at my mate,I knew he would be by my side. I knew that so far he had been an ass whole to me,but in this moment, I forgot what he had done and found myself opening my mouth to speak my next words.
"I except the role of the Luna and promise to protect the pack to the best of my ability,to care for the pack and to nurture it,"I spoke confidently.
Xavier stared at me while he carefully cut my hand before doing the same to his own.
He was handed a small goblet, and then he placed both of our hands over it,my blood trickling off my hand and landing in the goblet and mixing with my mate's blood.
"I present you with the Luna of the Red Blood pack,"Xavier announced.The crowd clapped loudly, clapping their hands and whistling loudly.
I had now permanently sealed my fate....
