Chereads / The Blood Luna / Chapter 32 - Wolf Gathering

Chapter 32 - Wolf Gathering

My faithful band of 13 stuffed their faces and laughed and jokes with one another. I sat there observing, I hope it always stays this way. "Food was great mom!" Dahlia said. "Yes, thank you!" the squad echoed. "I'm glad everyone enjoyed it. So, which one of you gets to join the detail? Dahlia was very vague earlier" my mother asked. "All of them" Dahlia replies taking a drink of orange juice. "All... All of them!" my mother said shocked. "Why do you need so many?" my father asked. "With the ceremony coming up it will be better" Jackson answered for me. "Okay, but what about after that?" my dad said unconvinced. "The women will be my personal escorts for more private situations, and the guys will be my muscle" Dahlia said. "I feel that more guards will detour future attacks, and if future attacks happen, we will be better prepared" Dahlia said. "That's a great idea honey" my mother said. "Now that you know the arrangements, we will have to talk business about the ceremony" Dahlia stated. "Okay, we are listening" my dad said. "I want to enjoy my Birthday and every Wolf on Ravenwood Island should attend. I want to meet everyone a day before the shift. I want the party to be to be everything about nature" Dahlia said. "Oh honey, I love the ideas, after I clean up I'll show you some of my decorations I got. Great minds think a like!" my mother exclaimed. "Lady Emma, allow us" Paige my number 1 she wolf said. As if they were...well robots they all get up and start clearing plates, washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen. I sit impressed and my dad is stunned. Jackson, sits beside me because I nodded no to him when he went to get up. He's on a 2 day leave, I don't want him doing anything except for relaxing and clearing his mind. "Jackson, since you're my escort for my Birthday, know I will be in all black" Dahlia said. Jackson looked like a tomato and waited a few moments to reply. "Yes, Luna, I will do my best to clean up for the occasion" Jackson replied. "Good it's settled" Dahila said. "Ready to go show me the decorations mom?" Dahlia says. "Absolutely!" my mom says. "Thank you for helping with the clean up" Dahlia praised her guards. They respectfully bow. Dahlia and her mother make their way towards the main living room, that's conjoined to the main kitchen. There were bags everywhere. "Look at these" my mom beams. I look in amazement. Artificial leaf garland attached to lanterns are in the bag along with; HOBO style ,flower covered head bands. There's more beautiful lanterns in there and just endless strands of moss garland strands. There also, flower garden strands. "Dahlia, we also have hand witled birch wood chairs and tables" My mom said. "That so beautiful" Dahila said smiling. "There's also this" my mom said while handing another box. "What is it" Dahlia asked. "It's to wear after your transformation" my mom said. I open the box and I'm speechless. What lies in the box is something more beautiful than I could have imagined. It's a black gold crown, and it has alternating rubies and black diamonds, with white diamonds to fill in for decoration. "It looks fit for a Queen" Dahlia said. "My dear, you are a Queen in my eyes. If things never changed you would be crowned Queen of werewolves during the ceremony, but you are still a royal Luna and I expect you to dress that way, even of for a day" My mom said winking. "Let me handle the decorations. you won't have to worry" My mom said. "Okay, you know best!" Dahlia said. We sat there quietly for a few moments and then my mother broke the silence. "Do you like Jackson?" My mother bluntly asked. I thought on it before answering. "I like him as a friend and I enjoy his company" Dahlia replied. "My wolf spirit told me that I have a fated mate" Dahlia asked. "Yes, since you never shifted you can not pick on your mates scent yet, your wolf will also know" my mom said. "As great as that sounds, I'm pretty young to worry about that don't you think?" Dahlia stated. My mom chuckled. "I raised such a good girl, but when it happens there's very little you can do to avoid it. then comes the mating ceremony" my mom said. "Ewww gross mom! I'm still a virgin" Dahlia yelled at her. My mother sat there laughing. "When the time comes. we can talk about it more, however since you will be a royal Luna, many male wolves will show you attention, you must not allow them" My mother said. "You don't have to worry, I'll protect your precious daughters virtue" Dahlia said sticking her tongue at her mom. "I'm worried mom" I said. "I know baby, we will be there with you every step of the way" My mom said hugging me. "Now, now, let's go back and join everyone and let them know the decoration plans!" my mom said a little too excited. I chuckle and comply with her request.
