Chapter Nineteen: Ceremony
Luca's POV
I stared down at my phone, my eyes burning through the numbers listed.
"Come on," I whispered impatiently. I put my phone back in my pocket, fixing my lavender bow tie for my love.
"They are almost done, beauty takes time Alpha." I scoffed at Blake, muttering,
"She doesn't need any more beauty, she is already the greatest beauty in the world." In the corner of my eye, I saw the corners of Blake's mouth twitch upwards. The sound of the door slamming shut caused me to clean up my act, standing straight.
The clinking of heels was echoed through the hollow walls of the Packhouse as I finally saw her walk down the stairs. Her eyes met mine as she stopped midway. Diana literally took my breath away.
My eyes grazed her body with love and adoration, seeing every detail of her perfect body. She walked closer to me, shyness radiating off of her. My fingers lingered down to her waist, feeling the silk dress she was wearing. Her hair was trimmed as far as I could tell, my face was now nuzzled into her collarbone, holding her tight.
"You are gorgeous," I whispered, giving her a quick peck on her mark. I felt her put her arms around me, our foreheads now touching. She touched my bow tie, smiling widely.
"And you are handsome." Her hand was now in mine as we started to walk to the backyard. I can't believe it, it was finally happening. She was finally going to be my Luna Queen.
"I'm so nervous, my heart is beating so fast Luca." Diana's voice was quiet and shaky.
"Don't worry my love, everything will be great. This will be one of the greatest nights of your life, I promise."
The screeching sound of the sliding doors was heard and soon after so were the voices of a thousand werewolves. Her hand tightened around mine as she hid behind me nervous.
It was happening.
Diana's POV
I peeked my head over Luca's shoulder as we walked up onto the stage. Once we made it up there, Luca stood by my side, leaving me to be seen by thousands of pairs of eyes. I gulped loudly and kept a hold on Luca. Everyone seemed to quiet down, turning their attention towards us.
"GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!" Luca yelled out deeply. I turned my head to my right, seeing Blake and Monica holding a golden cup and a knife. What in the heck is going to happen? The deafening sound of cheering snapped me out of my thoughts, my attention now turning back to the crowd in front of me.
"I, ALPHA KING LUCA MASON HAVE FOUND MY MATE!" More cheers were heard but were soon stopped as Luca put his hand up. His eyes met mine and he gave me a smile.
"Tell them your name darling." My eyes widened. I didn't expect me to speak at all during this whole thing. I let out a low breath,
"M-MY NAME IS DIANA REID!" I looked at Luca and he nodded towards Monica, who brought the cup and knife towards the both of us. Blake followed closely behind her.
She handed Luca the knife and I saw him shift into Jay, his beautiful eyes changing to the dull black ones I still seemed to love. He grabbed ahold of both of my hands slightly pulling me to him before speaking directly to me.
"Do you Diana, accept being the Luna Queen of not only the Woods Pack but all the packs around us?" I nodded my head slowly, looking to my right to see everyone staring at me intensely, including Daniel and the rest of the group. I straightened up, gripping onto his hands more.
"I do." Jay smiled a tiny bit before continuing.
"Do you accept risking everything and anything for the best of the packs?"
"I do."
"Do you accept I Luca Mason to be your mate and your Alpha King until the end of our days?" What kind of question was that? I went with it.
"Of course I do." He grabbed the knife letting go of both of my hands. I saw him slit the palm of his hand, the thick dark red consistency dripping slowly into the cup. Jay grabbed my hand biting both of his lips and closing his eyes.
"Please cut your palm." My eyes widened.
"What?"
"Diana please just do it." I shook my head giving him a look of disapproval.
"No no no no no, have you heard of a thing called AIDS?" chuckles and giggles erupted throughout the pack. Jay scoffed grabbing my palm and cutting it a tiny bit. I whimpered at the pinching pain biting my tongue hard.
I saw the bright blood drip slowly down my hand and fingertip, into the cup, mixing with Luca's. Blake handed me a wipe and some bandage for my hand.
I saw Jay shift back to Luca, his canines still defined. He took the cup and took a drink of our blood from the cup, leaving a stained imprint on his chin and lips. I would be lying if I didn't say I wasn't a little turned on by this, it was very sinful to think about. He licked his lips from the access blood and handed me the cup. I gave him a weird look crossing my arms and looking away.
"Drink it please." He said in a serious tone. I shook my head but was soon pulled into his chest. Luca whispered in my ear.
"Please drink it. This is so you and I have a stronger bond and your bond with the pack will be completed." I sighed, slowly moving the cup to my tinted lips, the thick, rich blood running smoothly down my throat. I gagged quietly, finished off the last bits of blood left in the cup. I returned it back to Monica and felt a sudden change of energy in me. The feeling was great like I was feeling thousands of others' emotions. I had just created a bond with the pack.
"EVERYONE, WELCOME YOUR LUNA QUEEN DIANA MASON!" I gave him a confused look as to why he said his last name instead of mine, Luca just gave me a wink and a cheeky smile. Cheers were everywhere and joy was clear in everyone. A negative vibe suddenly ruined to moment.
Luca gripped my arm tightly, pulling me behind him, one arm out to protect me. I saw him sniff the air deeply along with Blake who held Monica close.
What was going on?
"SHOW YOURSELF!" I flinched at Luca's deep and strong yell, gripping onto the back of his suit. My head began hurting as I seemed to hear many voices fill my head, questions floating around, and waiting to be answered. I knew Luca sensed it.
"Diana, close your eyes and just breathe in and out slowly, your mind link is open, you can block everyone for now." I did as I was told feeling a little better. The vivid smell of rouges filled my nose, making me pinch it to block any more of the horrid scent to enter.
"Monica, grab my group and take them all into the room Hayden is in," I ordered quietly. She bowed a tiny bit and ran towards Jade who was followed by Aiden, Alex, and Daniel. Blake walked into the Packhouse a little after, wanting to keep his mate safe from any harm.
I stood my ground standing side by side with Luca, hugging his torso.
"I WILL NOT ASK AGAIN!" Luca ordered angrily. Everything seemed to go downhill from there, rogues were everywhere. Pack members being slaughtered as Pack warriors tried their hardest to save everyone.
"Congratulations you two." Luca and I turned around seeing a very intimidating and horrendous man. He was handsome, but someone you would not want to mess with. I coward a little behind Luca with fear.
"Theo," Luca said with gritted teeth.
Who in the heck was Theo? I decided not to ask yet, as this might have been the worst possible time ever.
"Luca," Theo clicked his tongue, arms crossed as he walked closer to us. Luca growled warning him to stay back.
"It's so good to see you, brother." My eyes looked like they were going to pop out of my head at any moment as my mouth slowly opened in awe. He seemed to finally take notice that I was still there and he gave me an evil smirk.
"Well if it isn't our new Luna Queen!" I saw him starting to shift into his wolf.
"Diana, RUN!" It was the last thing I heard as I was pushed off of the stage, my back thudding onto the hard floor. I groaned in pain slowly getting up, my vision was blurry as I saw a small figure run up to me.
"Luna!" Rose yelled grabbing my hand into her tiny one, trying to pull me off of the ground. After a few tries, I finally succeeded and slung Rose onto my back. I took off my heels throwing them to the side and ran into the Packhouse, ripping my beautiful dress during the process.
Without any thought, I ran to Hayden's bedroom banging on the door hoping someone would open.
"Guys open up! It's Diana!" The door swung open and Blake pulled me in, locking the door behind me. I dropped Rose on the bed next to where Hayden laid still. My mind wandered to Luca as I jogged to the window which showed me the whole backyard.
I covered my mouth seeing all the lifeless bodies of my pack members everywhere. I turned my head to see Jade calming Rose down and Blake speaking with Aiden and Daniel. Alex spoke with Monica wanting to get answers.
"Blake! Go outside and find any survivors!"
"Luna I can't."
"I didn't ask. I'll go with you if you see anyone who is breathing or living bring them into the Packhouse right away. Monica, you will stay put here and check everyone who walks in here, If they are suspicious, mind link me or Blake." She nodded making her way downstairs.
I glanced at Blake, nodding once.
"I'll meet you down there. There is no way in hell i'm going to be running around in a dress."
*****
I saw Luca and Theo fighting non-stop ripping each other to shreds.
"LUCA!" I screamed as I saw his wolf howl in pain, Theo just ripped a chunk of his torso. As I began to go and help Luca, Blake grasped onto me, preventing me to go and aid my mate.
"Blake, LET ME GO! I NEED TO SEE IF HE IS OKAY!" Tears were now finally released from my body, causing me to shake uncontrollably.
"Luna I can't, we need to find more survivors!" I shook my head, trying to tug my way out of his strong grasp.
"You go find them, I-I can't just watch him get hurt anymore! I need to go help him!"
"I'm sorry Luna." I turned my head to him, my eyes redder than they have ever been.
"Let. M-me. GO!" I yelled. He shook his head once again.
"Blake, I won't ask again. Let me go, that is an order." I knew there was no way for him to say no. He couldn't break my orders and he knew that. Slowly I felt his grip loosen around me and before I left he said,
"I can't lose you, Luna. Please come back alive and bring Alpha with you."
"I promise." And with that, I ran to Luca or well, Jay finally being able to feel his touch after a couple of hours. His rough yet soft fur filled my hands as I cried out for him. He was breathing heavily as Jay was losing a lot of blood.
"No, please. You're going to be just fine, I'm here now, we are going to fix you up and everything will be fine." He flinched at my sobbing voice, making me burst out more.
"D-Diana, you need to l-leave, I can't have you get hurt." Jay mind-linked me, his strong voice very defined.
"Knowing you are injured is the most hurt I can possibly get," I whispered. I put pressure onto his wound causing him to grunt. A growl was heard in front of me, causing me to jolt my head up. Theo's Wolf circled around the two of us, watching me as his next prey.
I found some power rush into my veins as I glared at him.
"Leave now." I sneered. He roared at me, yet I didn't seem to feel anything. I saw many rouges line up behind him and many circling me also, so there was no way in and no way out. I turned my head to the side, licking my lips and feeling my anger rising more than ever.
"You may have won this battle, but I AM going to finish this war. You messed with the wrong pack and with the wrong Luna," I began moving closer to him, not feeling any fear once.
"You f*cked up." It was the last thing I said before watching them all sprint into the forest.
