My love

Chapter 55

SOPHIA'S POV

I dismissed the idea of intercourse, because I was too tired for the day. Not because I didn't want it. I lay on the bed, with Aiden next to me, but I was not able to go to sleep. Tomorrow was the Alpha ceremony, and both our lives would change, for the worse or the better.

After two hours of silence, I said, "Aiden?"

There was no response, so I figured that he must've been sleeping. I sighed, and tossed and turned till I was finally able to sleep.

I woke up to Aiden shaking me. "Princess, wake up. You need to get ready for the ceremony. Princess!"

I sat up and blinked twice, "I'm awake, I'm awake."

He took me to a room and left, and a really pretty girl was attending to me. She made me wear silk garments and jewellery, and put my hair up in an extremely intricate braid. She put on light makeup, and traced eyeliner on my eyes, which made them seem bigger and brighter. 

After she finally finished with me, I could barely recognise myself. This was like the transformation shown in movies! I was really impressed with how I looked, and not to sound narcissistic and all, but I could fall in love with myself if I stared at my reflection for too long. 

I walked out of the room in comfortable leather sandals, and I was taken to where the ceremony would happen. I really wanted to see how Aiden looked in his ceremonial clothes. Jane and Callum would be ceremonized as Betas just after us. 

Aiden was already waiting for me in his ceremonial wear, and his ceremonial wear, seemed to only consist of a cloth that hung from his neck, and some pants. His torso was almost completely bare, and I couldn't stop myself from blushing. 

He helped me out of the car, and I smiled at him. I couldn't wait to kiss him. The entire pack, it seemed, had gathered to witness the new alpha and luna. We were made to say our vows of service to the pack, the pack swore loyalty to us, and apparently everyone had to spill blood on a cloth. 

'Why?' I asked Aiden through mind-link. 

He replied back in my head, 'So this becomes an allegiance sworn by blood, and everyone becomes bound to it.'

He wordlessly took a knife, slashed his hand and his blood was the first to stain the cloth. I gulped, wanting to do the same thing, but I was too cowardly to do it like Aiden had. I squeezed my eyes shut, cut myself, and waited for the pain to hit me. It didn't. 

I opened my eyes, and saw that the wound had healed already, and realised, I am a werewolf now. I have super fast recovery abilities.
