Radiance Collins' POV

It's happening.

Finally after seven months, five days eleven minutes and forty seven seconds.

Since I moved in with Bentley.

Since I found out I was the real Star Goddess.

Since Ashlee ( aka Ellise ), Xander and Sarah's betrayal and death.

Since Mason and Stacey died.

Since we burned Mason and Stacey's body.

Since Alpha Caden became enemies with us.

Five months since Tristan committed suicide.

I never got to know Tristan, but from what I know, he was a great person. He saved my life. Twice. Sometimes I'd see Bentley looking at his photos with him, and smile. I knew he was taking it hard, but I couldn't do much. Usually I'd hug him, and ask him to let it all out.

And he does. He cried, weeped, sobbed. I was there for him, and I'd cry too.

Sarah's betrayal. Ellise's betrayal. Xander's betrayal.

But life goes on, with or without them. That's the thing about time: it doesn't give a shit or two about what's happening. It goes on, without waiting for you.

I know we would never fully get over them, but life needs to go on.

"And... Done!" Ellie took a step back and admired her product.

I looked into the mirror and almost didn't recognize myself. I had chocolate brown hair now, with so much make-up I could barely breathe.

"Thank you, Ellie."

"You're welcome. If only Ellise was still..." She blinked, realizing what a touchy subject she had gotten into.

"I miss her. Honestly, although they betrayed us. I miss them."

Her eyes glistened, and I could feel my nose getting blocked.

I can't cry. Not now. Not today.

"Anyway," I changed the topic. "What would the Luna ceremony be like?"

"Oh, it's lit." Her eyes had a sparkle of mischief in it. "Basically, as you already know, a Luna Ceremony is like a wedding. It almost is, but the thing that's different is that there won't be any vows professing your love.

So after the ceremony is done, you'd change into your party clothes. The new Luna and Alpha would walk around and socialize with the other Alphas and Lunas, and maybe even forge some allies.

The party usually starts at six, and that's when the Luna Ceremony is over. The party usually ends at midnight." Ellie bit her lip, slightly blushing.

"There's some details you're missing out, aren't there?" I asked suspiciously.

She blushed harder. "After the party, those with mates have to... mate. Especially when you have yet to mate with your mate after finding them."

So that was what it's about. Feeling my face heat up, I looked anywhere, but her.

It's not that I wasn't ready. I love Bentley, so much. I've grown to know so much about him, I fell harder each day. I'm ready to give my virginity to him. I'm ready to complete the bond, and forever be his.

My heat didn't come at all, surprisingly. For the whole seven months, it didn't come. At all.

The door opened, and in came Mom and Mom.

"You look stunning. My baby girl has finally grown up." Mom's eyes glistened, showing that she was on the verge of tears.

"Oh, Mom." I got up from the chair I was on, and hugged her while trying not to step onto my Luna dress.

Each Luna has a dress of their own. It's made specially for them.

"Please don't cry, you'll make me cry too." I held back the tears.

"Group hug!" Ellie joined the hug, and Mom laughed, joining in.

"Where's Micah?" I pulled away from the hug.

"Playing with Riley, as usual. I hope they aren't teleporting somewhere to set some random person's hair on fire again." We all laughed, remembering that memory vividly.

It was when Micah and Riley first met. It's as though they had a connection. They hit off pretty well.

After that meeting, Micah would go on and on about his time with Riley, how pretty her eyes are, how short she is, and how fun it was to teleport around, setting people's hair on fire.

Mom and I had a shock of our lives.

"I'm sure they're not. Hey, do you think that, maybe they'll be mates?"

"Looks like it." Oh, Micah. Already hitting on the girls?

"He'll be turning fifteen in a few more months. All we need to do is wait."

"Hey, when are you and Ethan going to have kids?"

"Speaking of that, when are you going to have kids? I want a grandchild." Mom winked at me.

"I don't know. I'm too young to be a mother. I'm not even twenty yet."

"Looks like I'll have to depend on you, my dear Ellie."

"Mom!"

***

"It's filled with so many people. Holy cheese balls." I whispered to no one in particular. It's a hall, where all Lunas had their ceremony. It's on neutral land, so people from other packs can come.

Including the enemies pack.

But to prevent slaughters from happening, all the werewolves in the Council Board came to an agreement : whoever kills another pack member on neutral land, will become a rouge. If an Alpha does it, their title will be stripped off, and they become an omega.

I'm not too worried about Caden trying to kill me. There are also people guarding the pack, so I'm honestly not that worried at all.

But who knows. From what I heard, losing your mate causes you to do crazy things. Take Tristan for example.

"Let us welcome soon-to-be Luna of the Black Cole pack, Radiance!" The crowd clapped, and Ellie hurried me on stage.

'Good luck! You'll need it!' She mouthed it to me. I nodded.

Taking a few deep breaths, I went out, facing almost every other Alpha and Luna, who came from different countries such as Brazil, United Kingdom and Europe. Of course, all of our pack members are here.

I'm obviously trying not to trip in these killer three inch heels too.

"Next, we have Alpha Bentley from the Black Cole pack!" The crowd cheered again, and in walked Bentley in a tuxedo.

He looked so hot in his tuxedo. Sue me, because all I wanted to do was rip his tuxedo off.

I blushed, looking away from him and onto the floor. No dirty thoughts.

'I want to rip that dress off.'

'Not now B.' I looked at him then winked.

He growled, eyes turning black and I giggled.

"Get a room already!" Ellie and Ethan both shouted, causing the crowd to laugh and agree.

"Alright, but before they do get a room, lets start the ceremony." The emcee laughed silently, then turned his head to the right and nodded. I turned to the right too, and saw Micah carrying a golden bowl.

Micah was wearing a tuxedo as well, and sad to say, he is taller than me. He stood around a five feet eight, and there was no doubt he would continue growing taller.

Micah looked down at the emcee, and passed the bowl to him. He put the bowl in the table in front of him, where the knife was.

And suddenly, the emcee's hair got caught on fire.

"Ahh! Help! My hair is burning." I couldn't contain the laughter that was bubbling in me. Calming myself down, I looked at Riley who was smiling at me sheepishly. I gave her a look, still laughing, which told her to put out the fire. She nodded and laughed.

"THIS BOY IS ON FIREEE!!" A Luna shouted and stood up. I looked to see who it was.

Brunette, large blue eyes.

I have a feeling that we'd be an ally.

Her mate pulled her down, and I couldn't see her in my view.

I'll get a chance to meet her later.

"The fire's out. Calm down." Micah said coolly, as if what happened earlier didn't happen. The emcee glared at Micah, and touched the back of his hair.

"The fire won't damage your hair. Have a nice day sir." He bowed before walking off the stage, but not before bowing to the crowd.

"Lets forget that ever happened." He blushed. "Alpha, your hand please." Bentley gave him his hand, and he took a normal metal knife and sliced it.

He didn't even wince.

After a few drops of blood was in the golden bowl, he asked for my hand. Ignoring the growl Bentley gave him, he sliced part of my palm and a few drops dripped into the bowl.

I winced a little. The cut healed quickly, and I'm guessing it have to do with me being a Goddess.

"Alright, you're both connected by blood now. You can say your vows now." The emcee walked off, leaving Bentley and I on the stage.

"Repeat after me." He said, staring deep into my blue eyes. I shivered. "I, Radiance Collins, promise to put the pack's need before my own."

"I, Radiance Collins, promise to put the pack's need before my own."

"I promise to take care of the pack, remain loyal, and will not abuse my power to get what I want."

"I promise to take care of the pack, remain loyal, and will not abuse my power to get what I want."

"I promise to remain true in our darkest times, and will never turn my back on the pack."

"I promise to remain true in our darkest times, and will never turn my back on the pack." I repeated with ease.

He smiled, and walked towards me. "Presenting to you all, Alpha and Luna Cole!" The emcee said at the back of the stage.

We have to seal it with a kiss.

Not waiting for him to kiss me, I initiated it. My arms found its way to his neck, and so did my lips find its way to his.

A short, but sweet kiss.

The crowd cheered, and it was our cue to pull away.

We continued staring at each other, getting lost in each other's eyes.

"May I have all your attention please!" Ethan said, walking up to the stage. "I have a very important thing to do now."

'Lets go.' Bentley pulled me with him.

"What's going on?" I asked, puzzled.

"We can't miss this, man." Bentley continue leading us through the back stage. We got into the main hall, and no one really noticed our presence.

It was all on Ethan.

"Today will be the most important day of my life. And a decision I have to make for my future. This day a few years ago was the day I found my mate." My eyes frantically tried finding Ellie.

"Ellie's there." He pointed out. I looked in the direction he pointed, and saw her. Barely, but I could still see her.

Shock.

"Ellie, can you please come up?" Ethan looked straight at Ellie, who was at the side of the hall. We were standing, so we could see perfectly what was happening.

Ellie got up, and walked on stage.

"Ellie, ever since I laid my eyes on you ever since I was ten, I swore I'd reject my mate and marry you. You looked so adorable, in two pigtails and a green dress matching the color of your eyes."

Is he proposing?

"I always tried to make you jealous. To make you notice me. And I'm glad it worked."

"Not when you went out and kissed Makayla in front of me, bastard." Ellie whispered, but everyone heard her.

The crowd boo-ed, but Ethan still continued.

"After turning fifteen, I was so glad you were my mate. We've spent four years, nine months and five days together and I'm sure I want to spend my future with you. I can picture us living in a two-story house, with three kids running around in the courtyard. You'd chide them for getting mud onto their clothes, but you still hugged them although they had mud on them and run them a bath. And when I come home from work, they'd run up to me and plant kisses onto my cheek. And you'd walk in with an apron, and kiss me 'good evening'. But being the clumsy you, you'd forget to turn the stove off and I'd immediately walk in to turn it off." The crowd 'awwed', including myself.

Hey, that's some cute shit okay?

"So Ellie, would you have the honor of changing your last name to mine, be the mother to my children, and do the honors of becoming my wife and only sucking my dick for life?" Ethan went down on his knees, and pulled out a red velvet box from his back pocket.

So that's why the ceremony was postponed. Because of this.

"Say 'yes'!" The brunette Luna screamed and shot up. "Say 'yes'!"

"Say 'yes'!" I cheered, smiling at the brunette Luna who turned around. She smiled back.

"Say 'yes'!" Bentley shouted.

And then the crowd started shouting "say 'yes'!"

"Of course I'd marry you, Ethan." She ran towards him, tripping on her blush pink gown.

This is why you should never run while wearing heels. Oh, and while you're wearing long gowns.

Ethan immediately caught her, and Ellie landed on him. Ellie pressed her lips onto his, and the crowd cheered.

***

"Lets party, Ethan's fiancée." I teased her.

She blushed.

"What kind of speech was that? 'Sucking my dick for life'?" I laughed, and Ellie blushed harder.

"Oh stop it. Maybe that'd be in Bentley's speech in asking you to marry him too."

"I heard my name." Bentley walked in, dressed in a V-neck shirt and some jeans.

"Looking hot, my Alpha." I flirted.

"Looking sexy, my Luna." He winked, causing me to grin and lean forward to plant a kiss on his cheek.

He pouted. "No kiss on the lips?"

"Lets save that for tonight." I winked at him.

His eyes turned black, "I like the sound of that. But I don't think I can wait till tonight for that kiss." He leaned down, parting my lips gently with his. It's as if he was so afraid, that he'd break me. As if I'm a fragile being.

I quickened the pace, taking over the kiss. He was kissing me slowly, teasingly. He growled as I bit on his lower lip, and I moaned as he pressed us impossibly closer.

"Hate to ruin this but, I'm Luna Grace." I pulled back, feeling slightly embarrassed that she had caught my make-out session with Bentley.

Brunette, big blue eyes.

"Hey, I recognize you!" My face was probably slightly flushed. I was still breathing a little harshly to be honest.

"Really?" Her eyes lit up. "I'm from the Wintry White Pack. Pleasure to meet you, Luna Radiance."

"Save the formalities. Call me Radiance." I flashed her a grin.

She nodded. "You look stunning."

"We should hang out soon. Where's the pack at?"

"It's only an hour and a half drive from here. It's located in California."

"Same! Here's my number. Hit me up." I sent her a wink and passed my phone number to her.

She laughed and winked back. "Sure." We laughed and her mate came forward, drawing her to his side.

"Hello Luna Radiance. I'm Alpha Jaxon."

"Hello." Bentley came in too, drawing me to his side.

His abs are so solid. I wouldn't mind licking it.

'Damn it, Berry. Really?'

I blushed, realizing I didn't block him from my thoughts.

"Yes, I remember. I'd definitely call you to talk more about it." Alpha Jaxon's voice jolted me back.

"See you guys around." Grace sent me a knowing wink and dragged Jaxon away from us.

"Look what you've done to Bentley junior." He groaned, and I gasped when I felt it.

His erection. On the. Back of. My thighs.

"I'll take care of it." I gave him a knowing wink. "In fact, I'll take care of it now."
