Wear It


The clicking of plastic hangers bumping against each other is about to drive me insane as I look through the racks of clothes. At the moment I'm trying to find a dress to wear to the ceremony.

The ceremony in which by the end of it I'll be the Luna of the Silver Lake Pack.

Just thinking about it makes me feel sick to my stomach with nerves. I shake my head trying to calm my nerves as Tucker bounces up beside me. "You need any help?" He asks with a grin and I smile.

"Sure." I say with a chuckle and he makes a fake girly squeal. He runs to the other end of the rack and begins gazing through the clothes. After a few minutes of clicking hangers and chatting we meet in the middle. We both go silent as we gaze at the sapphire dress.

I'm about to slide the next dress in front of it but Tucker snatches it off the rack. I watch him as he feels the sparkly skirt of the dress with his fingers. A small smile forms on his lips and he suddenly holds the dress up against my front and examines it.

"I believe we found a winner." Tucker says and I shake my head.

"No I cant wear this, it's not right." I say pushing the dress gently away.

"Max, as her brother I know she would want you to wear it, specially on a day like this." He says with a sad smile, pushing the dress towards me again. I smile back at him, tears pricking my eyes. He notices and pulls me into a hug.

"I still can't believe she's really gone." I whisper and Tucker squeezes me.

"Me neither." He whispers back and I feel a single tear fall onto my head.

I pull up the black tight highs over my legs and straighten any fold in them. Since the dress is a little short and also considering how Dustin reacted to it, I figured this would make it more appropriate. I kinda feel like a bride fixing to see her future husband. I chuckle to myself as I slide into my black heels.

"What are you laughing about?" His deep voice enters the room and I smile. I just shake my head looking into his dark blue eyes, that remind me of a calm ocean in the middle of the night. Dustin's eyes slowly scan over my dress and he smiles. Walking up to me, he slides his hands around my waist and pulls me close.

I lay my hands flat on his chest and look up at him. As expected he begins leaning in, wasting no time to capture my lips.

Suddenly, the door bursts open and Dustin pulled back with a growl of annoyance. I stand on my tippy toes so I can look over Dustin's shoulder at who came in. Sam, Dustin's Beta, stands in the doorway with a sheepish smile.

"Sorry, I thought you two were already down stairs. I came in to grab that tie I asked if I could borrow." The wolf explains rubbing the back of his neck. I send him a small smile and glance up at my mate. Dustin is staring blankly in front of him, I furrow my eyebrows. I look back at Sam and he has the same expression. Mind linking.

I sigh in annoyance, what possibly could they be talking about that I couldn't hear. Dustin acknowledges my sigh as his eye snap down at me. "We best get going." He says with a small smile and nerves hit me like I just got stabbed in the stomach.

Sam steps aside as we walk past him, and I clutch onto Dustin's hand. I can hear my heartbeat in my ears as we walk through the door of our house. My eyes widen at the crowd that has formed in our backyard. I gaze at the clusters of werewolves with unfamiliar faces. But what I do recognize is their pack scent of metallic water.

"Calm down my mate. Everyone can smell how nervous you are and it might cause an uncomfortable feeling through out the pack." Dustin's calm and gentle voice enters my head and it instantly calms me. I take in a deep breath taking in all the scents around me and release my nerves.

"Silver Lake." Dustin's voice is commanding as it causes the whole pack to become silent. "I'd like to introduce you all to my mate and your soon to be Luna, Maxine Daniels."

All eyes turned to me as I felt a light blush on my cheeks. "Maxine, my mate, for you to become Luna and apart of this pack, we must share our blood." I look over at Dustin as he drags on of his claws across his palm. I close my eyes as my claws lengthens and I drag my nail across my palm quickly. I grit my teeth at the sting and open my eyes to meet Dustin's.

Dustin gently takes my hand in his and our blood combines. "Do you promise to care and love this pack as much as you did your previous pack?"

"Yes, I promise." I say loudly and sternly for the whole pack to hear. My mate smiles at me and grips my hand a little tighter. "I, Alpha Dustin Young, accept you, Maxine Daniels, as my mate and Luna of the Silver Lake Pack." At those words I feel a rush of power and the scent of my old pack vanish.
