Ellie POV

"Cere- what now?" I asked, following Ramond around.

Along our path, we were greeted with respectful bows from the locals. Members of the pack were busily preparing decorations and food.

My eyes widened.

"I need to announce my Luna officially, and you gotta accept the role by my blood."

"Woah there, mister, if you slice a knife through my hand. I'm shoving it so far up your ass!"

Some people stopped and stared at me. I smiled innocently as they shook their heads smiling. Ramond smirked at that. "It won't be that bad, I promise."

"Well, well, what's all this?" Elliot said as his arm went around me.

"Ask Ramond," I said through gritted teeth.

"It's her ceremony."

"AHAHAHA Good luck!!"

I punched him, making him hunch over.

"Stupid wolf strength," he groaned.

"It'll be over before you know it."Luna, your dress," a woman said.

"DRESS?!"

Elliot burst out laughing again. I growled at him. He shut up. "Good luck trying to get me in that dress!" I turned around some of my hair flicked into their face.

Good!

Ceremony

Ramond POV

"Uhh... well, Auntie Kye has her pinned down.. but still not on.." Elliot said.

I rolled my eyes to that. "I'll check on her" as I got closer to her room. I heard screaming, smashing and cussing.

I opened the door, and Ellie was only wearing her underwear and strapless bra. Kye looked like she's been through the wars.

"Dress on, now!" I ordered.

"HAVE YOU SEEN IT?"

"Yes, it's gonna look gorgeous on you."

She frozed, finally staring at me. "Damn, you look - AHHHH." She was tackled down.

"We'll see you in an hour," I chuckled, closing the door behind.

Ellie POV

"This should be illegal," I huffed, crossing my arms. I had to dye my hair back! And I'm in a dress!!

Auntie Kye was styling my hair. She sighed softly. "You look absolutely beautiful, Ellie," she said as she completed the final touches.

I stood up, trying not to fall. "You're gonna look so gorgeous on your wedding day."

"Slow down, Auntie Kye. I don't want kids until I'm 30, maybe older,"

She snorted at that. "Good luck, Alphas tend to get their mate pregnant 6 months after meeting them."

"Well, we've been sa..." My face paled. No, we have not...

For the past week, I've been sick mostly in the mornings when Ramond was in his office.

"Luna Ellie, Alpha awaits," the guard bowed.

"Let's go!" My Auntie squealed, looping her arm with mine.

I can hear Ramond speech from the distance. "And it is in great honour to officially announce our Luna, Ellie Black Thorne." All eyes fell on me.

Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at me, cheering enthusiastically.

Ramond had an endearing smile on his face. I responded with a nervous smile as I slowly made my way down. Even my father was on stage, clapping and encouraging me.

Ramond took my hand, helping me up. "You look absolutely stunning."

At that moment, all my worries and concerns about pregnancy vanished.

"Blood Moon Pack, I kindly request that she be treated with the utmost respect and that we do everything in our power to protect our Luna. As the matriarch of our pack, her commands should be followed without question."

He faced me. "Do you accept this role?" I looked amongst everyone and nodded. "Yes," everyone cheered, screaming.

'Can I get my dress off now?' I mind linked to him.

'Haha, nice try mate, not yet, maybe later when I take it off for your.' He mind linked sending me a quick wink.

I felt my cheeks heat up to that comment.

He took the knife and sliced his hand. "I'm warning you if this h-," I hissed in pain. Our blood combined. I can feel the urge to keep my wolf down as she now officially holds authority.

Ramond picked up a drink. "Let the partying begin!" My dad came over pulling me into a hug. "She would be so proud of you." I smiled at that, pulling away.

Ramond took my hand as he placed his large hands on my small waist as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"So is a knife going up my ass?.."

"You are off the hook for looking too damn sexy in this suit," he grinned at that and leaned in. We kissed for a while when someone cleared their throat.

It was Clint. "May I speak to the Alpha alone?"

"Whatever," I mumbled.

Elliot was on the stage. Oh no. I ran up there. "What are you doing?! This is not a wedding!"

"Relax!" He changed the song.

My eyes widened in surprise and delight. "Our song!" I exclaimed with excitement.

He took my hand and began to spin me around, causing me to laugh with joy.

Oblivious to the crowd watching us, we immersed ourselves in the music and the moment.

"I am proud of you, sister," Riley said, joining us on the dance floor. "I am proud of you too, brother," I replied, feeling a sense of unity and happiness. "I think this should be a family dance," Riley suggested, and we all agreed.

As the song "Footloose" played, I couldn't help but remember my mother and father telling us about their wedding. I recalled how they had shown us their unique and lively dance moves, and we decided to follow in their footsteps.

Ramond POV

"Clint, what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry I've been on edge, but I just feel like something bad is going to happen."

"To who?"

"To Ellie, that's why I've been acting serious and making sure no harm at her way. It's my wolf. I don't know why. But have you recognised her scent smells different?" He frowned.

"No?"

"Oh..."

"Clint, it's fine. It may not look like it, but I am keeping an eye on her."

"Like right now? " he smirked, pointing to the stage.

I turned around. "Oh my..." I facepalmed myself.

"I know what you mean," he chuckled, patting my back.

I shook my head, smiling at my childish Luna.
