Saving the Beta's Daughter (Completed)

Chapter 25

Piper

The Luna ceremony officially makes me the Luna of the Crimson Night Pack. It ties me closer to the people of this pack. It's more than just a title or a rank. It's a privilege, a duty, and a promise. Some would dream of being Luna. It is a privilege to actually become a Luna. It's a privilege to be someone that people would look up to. That also makes it a duty. People would look to me for guidance, and it would be my duty to assist them in a way that would only do them good.

And finally, it is a promise. A promise between, myself and my pack. It would also be making promises between me and other packs that are our allies. It would be an unwritten promise to protect my pack with my life, seeing it is only fair since they would do the same.

In just a few hours, I will complete the Luna ceremony. I procrastinated the past couple of days, and I never told my mate how I feel. There were a few moments that I almost said it; however, I chickened out. I panicked and blurted 'I love food'. Caleb then got up from the couch and got me a tray with a stack of Poptarts.

I'm not gonna lie, I ate all of those Poptarts. They were the s'mores ones- my favorite. Let's just say that Caleb got more than the usual amount of kisses that day. Much to my discontent, my mate hasn't mentioned anything to me about our relationship.

Obviously we're together. I'm just not entirely sure where we are in the relationship. He hasn't shown any interest in marking me. He's still treating me like glass because of the battle. He thinks that I should talk about it and let my 'feelings' out. I would tell him how I felt about it, but I don't feel anything about it. Those men were monsters. They had it coming to them.

I don't feel remorse about their death; and I don't think anyone else should feel remorse. Those who fought against Terence and my father have saved the Blood Star Pack and my pack from further destruction. They have saved the lives of innocent people. And no one should feel guilty about saving others. Sometimes, you have to kill the bad to save the good.

"Are you ready, sweetie?" Grams said softly. I took once last look at myself in the body mirror. Mandy had suggested that I wear a white dress, so I bought a white dress. It ended at mid-thigh, and was flow-y from my waist down. It had spaghetti straps and a sweetheart neckline. The dress came with a golden metal belt. It was simple, yet appropriate for the occasion.

I nodded and smoothed out the dress again. Smiling, I turned to face Grams, Mandy, Kat, Emily, and Amanda. "Okay. I'm ready" I stated. We all filed out of the room and towards the backyard. The whole pack was crowded in the yard with a make-shift stage at the front. Caleb was standing on the stage along with Wyatt, and Jackson. Seeing everything set up made my nerves spike. What if I failed to be their Luna? "I need a few moments. Go on" I urged.

Reluctantly, everyone but Amanda left. "Are you having second thoughts?" she questioned. I shook my head while taking a few deep breaths. "Caleb had second thoughts" she informed me quietly. "He ditched before his ceremony. He thought he wouldn't be a good Alpha. He wanted to let Richard take over"

But Caleb is a great Alpha. "What changed his mind?" I asked.

A smile spread across her face. "This pack. We couldn't find him for two hours. The pack turned to chaos. We were all running around trying to find him. No one could properly set up a search party. When Caleb came back, he got everything under control in five minutes. He realized that he was the only that could be Alpha" she said softly.

"You're the only one that can be Luna" Amanda stated. "No one else. You're the only one that can care for this pack as a good Luna. You're the only one that can lead alongside my brother" she informed me before walking outside.
