Ember Harper's POV:

"Ember, hurry yourself up." Christian pushed further as he entered the room, catching me in the middle of picking out an outfit for today's event.

It was a mating season, the season where wolves were especially supposed to mark and mate each other. This is also the time where I was supposed to be in heat, the time where I am basically begging for my mate's dominance. But unfortunately, these people had a human Luna and things did not work out exactly like that.

"I can't hurry up, I have to choose something appropriate for this!" I fired at the male who has now sat on my bed and watched me with wicked amusement.

Suddenly, Brutus appeared by walking in through the already opened door. Taking a look at him almost took my breath away, the handsomeness that this man radiated with was deadly. A white button up shirt clad his toned body, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows.
Dress pants were rested low of his hips, my breath hitching once I saw that he was approaching me.

"Don't listen to him, mi bella. You will look beautiful in anything." He mumbled once he presses his head on my shoulder and kissed my cheek sweetly.

I smiled, already planning a safe attire in my head.

"No she won't. She looks massive in those shirts of yours." Christian butted in from the bed, a bag of classical crisps laying in his hand.
Brutus turned his head towards him, a glare fixed in his eyes.

"Get away from here." He mumbled, pulling me closer to himself.

Once Christian walked out the door, Brutus walked up in front of me and looked down at himself and his attire.
"Do you like it?" He questioned

I ran my first gets across the fabric that rested on his shoulders, lowering down to his chest.
"I love it, Brutus. You look amazing." I admitted, making him smile widely.
I loved when he smiled. He looked really happy, like a toddler without any care or problem in the world.

"Should I change?" I asked, looking at the two laid out dresses. He nodded, nearing me and whispering.

"Only if you change in front of me."

Holding hands tightly, Brutus and I have now entered a space of a meadow, many people lined up. Feeling my stomach churning, I exhaled heavily and looked up to Brutus who was looking ahead with a straight face.
Hearing whistles and hoots of joy, I snapped my head up to see all those people looking our way with smiles stretched over their faces.

I smiled also, now being brave enough to look at no one's eyes until Brutus and I reached the middle of the meadow. He let go of my hand, instead he snaked an arm around my waist and pulled me further towards him.

Everyone stared at me excitedly, almost as if I was a newborn baby in the pack. Well technically, I was.

"I, as an Alpha of the Luna Nera Pack, present you your Luna. Ember Harper, someone who will try her best to keep this pack loving and healthy." Brutus announced, looked over at me. I nodded my head, a smile still on my lips.

For the lack of a better word, I was excited. Pumping with adrenaline, I knew that I was about to let myself fall into a long lasting deal. I was this people's Luna, someone that is meant to take care of the pack and make the people as warm and homey as possible.
I needed to stay by my Alpha's side, love him and care for him. The best feeling I've ever felt took over me, my smile not fading away as I finally gathered bravery to speak.

"I swear and promise that I will be the best Luna I can be to this pack, even though I do not know much about wolves. I will protect and love, care and make sure that everything is how its supposed to be. Thankfully, I have my Alpha with me." I said, taking Brutus's hand in mine and let him entwine our fingers.

"And I am ready." I said, looking at Brutus for a split second. He knew what I meant, he knew that my sentence had a double meaning which was important. He squeezed my hand tighter, proceeded to talk in Italian to the entire pack.

While everyone listened closely, I looked at him and tried to pick out the words that I could possibly know. Yet, I had no idea to what was he talking about. Glancing around, I noticed Christian. He looked very handsome and quite different in a suit that complimented his body well.
He smiled widely at me, giving me two thumbs up that made me smile more before looking back to Brutus again.

"And with that, I bless you all." He finished off and took a step back, letting pack members approach me. I would need to greet many people which I was more than excited and scared to do.
An old lady approached me first, a tall male helping her small figure.

"I bless you, my child. To forever be in love and health." She said, smiling at me weakly. I returned a smile, nodding my head at her and giving her a bless also.
Many people passed, each one of them giving me a special greet which I always returned with an undying smile on my face.

This was my life now, I will be living with these people for the rest of my days. Through pain and happiness, I promised to protect these people. And I intended of keeping my promise, as always.
