Farrah went all out as | knew she would. The entire area looks perfect for my mare. There is ssort of gary

gold material draped around the area that is covered with the artificial turf, makingeveryone knows where

it’s safe to walk There are twinkling lights and flowers draped everywhere giving the area a magical feel.

The green dress that Kennedy is wearing fits her perfectly, falling to her feet is a soft, flowing skirt. No skin-tight,

short showy dresses for my mate. Nope, this dress is elegant and classy, just like she is

I growl a low, possessive growl as | watch her walk toward me. Her eyes never leave mine as her father guides

her to the stage. When they get close, | walk over and extend my hand, taking hers and helping her up the stage

“Thank you. Alpha.” | say to Alpha Warren

Thank you, Alpha,” he says, emphasizing that he’s thanking me. I'm not sure why he’s thanking me. | haven't

done anything

I only let the exchange distractfor a moment, before I refocus on the woman in front of me. She’s about to

bind herself to the in the last possible way that she can. | don’t know why | want her tied toin every way

possible. | guess there's still a part ofthat’s afraid of losing her. But tonight, she will accept her role as my

mate, as a Luzna, and as a leader of this pack

I walk her to the center of the stage and tum, holding both of her hands in mine as Henry steps up beside and

between us.

“Welcpack members, family, and guests” Henry begins.

| can’t take my eyes off of Kennedy. Her eyes, usually a grayer color, are the exact color of the-dress, as if her

eyes felt the need to blend perfectly. Her hair is in an elegant bun at the nape of her neck, but there are pieces

of her hair that are down. giving it a softer look. There's baby’s breath in an arc at the top of the bun. The only

reason | know it's baby’s breath is because it is, quite possibly, the stupidest nI've ever heard for a flower.

However, while it may have a dumb name, it adds a perfect touch to my mate.

| watch as Kennedy begins smiling at me. Her lips are twitching as if she’s trying to keep from laughing. | frown

until I hear Henry saying my nas if he’s been trying to get my attention.

“What?” | ask him.

“I need your hand so | can slice your palm. Do you think you can let go of our mate long enough forto get

your blood in the cup?” he asks, raising an eyebrow at me.

reluctantly pull my hand away from Kennedy's, before returning my gaze to hers.

“Do you, Alpha Quirin, accept Kennedy Hill as your mate and Luna? Do you agree to place her above all others,

letting her lead at your side?” Henry says.

“I do”

He slices my hand and tilts it, letting it drip in the cup, but I still don’t take my eyes off Kennedy.

“Do you, Alpha Kennedy, accept Alpha Warren as your mate and Alpha. Do you agree to place him above all

others and lead at his side as the Luna of this pack?”

“I do,” she says and this twhen her lips quiver, it's because of the emotion behind her words.

Henry hands her the goblet and | watch as she sips my blood, feeling the bond between us strengthening. | can

feel the heat of my possessiveness, my need to show everyone here that she’s mine, so | lean in, taking her

mouth in a dominant, possessive kiss.

“Uh, Quirin, there's more to the ceremony. Perhaps you can wait to finish this later. After the party. In private.

Henry says drolly.

Kennedy gasps, obviously having forgotten that we're in front of not only our pack, but her entire family as well.

“Yes, let's continue,” | say, pulling back just enough that | can still nuzzle her nose with mine, but our lips are no

longer touching.

“Ill need your hand again, Quirin.” Henry says softly enough that only those of us on the stage can hear. | give

him my hand, not moving away from Kennedy.

He slices it again, letting it drip in the cup, before asking Kennedy for hers. | know the moment he slices her

palm. She hisses softly and | smell her blood. As soon as Henry releases her hand, | pull it to my mouth and lick

the wound closed.

“Did you wantto accept our Luna, Alpha, or are you just going to stare at her all night?” Kier asks.

“We can do both,” | say, pulling away just enough for Kier to cforward and accept Kennedy as his Luna.

After that. I'm forced to step back, but | don’t release her hand as one by one, the pack comes forward to accept

her as their Luna.

| watch as she smiles at certain warriors, specifically those that had previously accepted her and then apologized

and asked to be allowed to stay. | also recognize that none of these warriors hesitates or scoffs at accepting her

as their Luna.

| glance at Bradley. Alpha Warren made sure that his mate was protected even though she wasn’t a warrior.

Perhaps | should consider doing the sfor my mate. Although, unlike Luna Yara, Kennedy goes into the safe

room during attacks. Something to think about.

Once all of the pack members have cforward and accepted Kennedy as their Luna, pledging themselves to

me, her, Kier, and the pack, it’s tfor the celebration to begin. I'm not sure who, but someone turns on music

and | watch as pack members begin dancing with their pups and mates. Even Kier pulls an omega onto the

dance floor, dancing around with her.

I'm not sure what it is, but there's a different feel in the pack tonight. It's almost as if they're relaxed. It's not

something I'm used to feeling from my pack. | wonder if it's because they now have their Luna or if possibly, it’s

because only the ones who truly accept her are here.

Kennedy as she dances with her younger twine

“You know, when you askedto officiate Kennedy's Luna ceremony, | didn’t realize it was because | was going

to have to keep you focused,” Henry says, coming up to me. I'm standing off to the side of the makeshift dance

floor, watching

Wade and Yvonne. She's holding hands with each of them and spinning them in circles before pulling them in

and pushing them out in what looks like Kennedy's way of teaching them to dance. Alpha Warren is dancing with

Yana, Alpha Harold is dancing with Suzie and Samuel, her son, and Luna Farrah is dancing with Yorick. Connor is

dancing with his mate and he has the spossessive look in his eyes that | know I've had in mine all night.

“I'd apologize for becoming mesmerized by my mate, but I'm not at all sorry. She’s a beautiful woman and now

she’s tied herself toin every way possible.”

“You know the words of the Luna ceremony are more than just words, right?” he asks me, taking a sip of his

drink.

“What do you mean?” | ask him.

“I mean, you're used to putting your pack first, Quirin. Now, you have a mate, a Luna. You have to put her first.

‘Place her above all others’, that’s what you said you would do. That's a shift, my friend. | hope you're prepared

to make it,” he says, before setting down his drink and walking over to ask Wendy to dance.

| watch as Kennedy's family slowly branches out to my pack. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they are

moving into positions so that they are dancing with my pack members. Maybe the pack, or those that are here,

are starting to accept

“How are you doing, Quirin?” Farrah asks, coming over to stand with me. She’s breathing heavily after her dance

with Yorick.

I turn and look at her, dragging my eyes away from Kennedy. “Did that young Alpha wear you out, Farrah?”

She smiles at me. “I'm not as young as | used to be, Quirin.”

“To answer your question, I'm good now that my mate is officially my Luna”

“Good. | think her family is surprised at how much you love her, but I'm not,” she says, turning her attention on

me. “You have more to give than you think, Quirin. You are the only one who holds yourself back.”

“I do that with good reason, Farrah. She’s always deserved better than me. I'm selfish enough to take what the

Moon Goddess gave me, but that doesn’t mean that | can’t try to keep her away from my darkness,” | tell her.

“You know, | used to agree with you. But I will tell you this, the love of a mate is stronger than you realize. You

know | understand darkness more than most. You know my history, you know how dark | became. But Harold's

love pushed all that away. Don’t underestimate the power of the mate bond. And don’t underestimate our Moon

Goddess. She knows what she’s doing, even if we don’t.”

| smile at the woman who has becmy surrogate mother, the woman who arguably knowsbetter than

anyone. “Would you like to dance?”

“I thought you'd never ask. And, by the way, you look even more attractive when you smile. That is also the

power of the mate bond,” she says, taking my hand.

It's late by the teveryone starts to go to bed. While I'm desperate to be with Kennedy, | know this day is a

very special one and | know that it’s important for her to spend twith the pack and her family.

When I finally get her to our bedroom, | strip her, desperate to be inside her. I'm not sure if she’s as desperate

for me, or if she’s becoming accustomed to my desperation, but she acceptswith open arms. As always, |

lose myself inside her light, finding my nirvana in her warm, wet heat and her sweet moans. | pound into her

until | feel her body contracting around mine and then | let go, roaring as | always do with the strength of the

orgasm that rips throughwhen | cinside her.

When we're done and | collapse beside her, | pull her to me, kissing the top of her head.

“Good night, my Luna.”

“Good night, my Alpha,” she says, pressing a kiss against my chest.

| feel like my eyes have just closed when the howls of alarm go up around the pack, alerting us to an attack.
