After we get back to his house I go in and take a shower. After a few minutes Dominic joins me.
At first he just holds me then he asks the question I am dreading.
"Do you think you were kidnapped from your father's pack? It sounds to me like this whole thing is a setup. I feel sorry for your parents, they were pawns in the Luna's scheme as well. I just wish we knew what that was."
"I have been lied to all my life. My parents were used because they couldn't have kids. If he is my father what do we do? Will I have to go to his pack? I just feel so lost and confused."
"You are my mate so you won't have to leave me. You are marked and tonight you will be made Luna of this pack. NO ONE and I mean NO ONE will be able to take you from me or they will start a war. If your done I think we should get out before we get sick, The water is like ice. Then I will go make some calls."
After I nod my head he reaches over and turns off the water. Then he grabbed a towel and wraps me in it. Once we go back in the bedroom he hands me one of his shirts and some underclothes. After I put them on I start laughing. He gives me a strange look as he starts smiling.
"What's so funny? I got the underclothes from my sister I asked her to go pick up a few things for me. You have clothes in that duffle bag over there."
"Baby if I have clothes why do you give me your shirts? What I find funny is they go down past my knees. To you they might be t-shirts but on me they are dresses."
"Yes I know, and you look hot as hell in my clothes. I just like seeing you in my clothes. But if you want to change you can."
"No baby I am happy with this. Should we get food I'm starving."
And right on cue my stomach starts growling. We both laugh and he takes me to the pack house. As we walk into the dinning room many people stop talking and look at us. I squeezed his hand and he looked down at me smiled and we got food. He leads me over to where they are serving the food, we go down the line and fill our plates. Once we are done he takes us to our seats he puts down his plate and then he addresses the pack.
" Dear friends I have some wonderful news for you, I would like you all to meet Ella James. She is my mate and your Luna. Tonight we will be holding the Luna ceremony. It will start at six, we will be having a barbeque. I know this is short notice but we have things to do. Please feel free to bring a side dish. All are welcome to come, can't wait to see you there."
I stand up and smile over at Dominic then I address the room.
"Hello everyone as you heard my name is Ella, I just wanted to say I am honored to be mated to Dominic. I am new to the whole Luna thing but I ask that you bare with me, and I will happily listen to and accept any help or suggestions you might have for me. I want to be the best Luna I can for all of you. Thank you."
Once I sit down everyone starts clapping. I look up at Dominic and he is smiling down at me. A minute later Elsa walks up to us. She sits down and gives me a side hug. She smiles at me and whispers," That was a stroke of pure genius, did you think of it on your own?"
"I just wanted to be honest with everyone. I meant every word I said."
"You are going to make a great Luna. I will help with the ceremony tonight. I can even give you a dress. After lunch we can go to my room while Dom does his work."
"That would be great, I can use all the help you can give me. And whenever your ready I am done."
Elsa and I put our dishes away then I kiss Dominic and we go to her room. As we talk about what is needed tonight she explains what is required of me at the ceremony. Once she does my hair and makeup she pulls out the dress.
"I bought this for you when Dominic asked me to pick up the other clothes, I hope you like it."
As she finishes talking she pulls out a beautiful light blue spaghetti strap dress that has a zipper down the back and a two inch slit on both sides. She helps me into it and turns me to the mirror. As I look at myself I start smiling and crying.
"I love it, the dress it beautiful. How did you know? I love the way you did my hair. Can you teach me how to French braid please? I have always loved the look. I'm glad you did the makeup as light as you did. I don't normally use makeup myself. Can you please take some pictures I want to send them to my parents. So what do we do for the next few hours, it's only four."
"Don't you worry girl we can watch a movie for the next few hours. Dominic has the dinner covered and we have you set up. For now let's get you out of the dress, then we can just chill for a while."
After I get out of the dress I put Dominic's shirt back on and we sit down on the couch. Elsa grabs us both some soda and popcorn then we settle in to watch You've Got Mail.
About fifteen minutes into the I get a blinding headache then the room goes white. When I open my eyes I am on the floor in my house. I look around me in shock then I think about Elsa and her room then I am back there on the floor. Elsa leans down panicked and tries to touch me.
"Wait please, call your mom and only your mom. Please don't call Dominic yet until I talk to her."
Minutes later Ellen walks in the room, Elsa points to where I am on the floor. She gets down on her knees next to me. I explain what happened then Elsa tells her what she saw and we wait for what Ellen has to say.
"Okay for now this does not leave this room. I need to take your blood pressure and let me take some blood. I have a few tests I need to run. How do you feel right now?"
"To be honest I am a little dizzy, I'm afraid to get up."
"Okay that's normal, from what I understand the first phase makes your blood sugar drop. Elsa grab her soda. Now drink this, you should be okay in a minute. Remember to keep this between us. Let me go run these tests. I will see you both at the ceremony."
Once she leaves I move back to the couch. And Else gives me a worried look. I reassure her I'm fine. Then we look at the clock and see that it's 5:30. p.m. Elsa helps me get back in the dress then we wait. Elsa gets a link from Dominic saying we are ready, so we head downstairs. Once we get to the door we wait again. Once she gets another link we head outside.
When Elsa opens the door I am amazed by the transformation. There is a small stage right outside the doors and Dominic is waiting there. Next to him is the pack elder. Elsa walks me over to the stage and passes me to Dominic. Then she goes and stands next to Ellen. The whole time she is taking pictures with my phone.
First the elder cuts my palm and then Dominic's to bind us together. Then he gives a short speech as he wraps a silver ribbon around our joined hands and then he asks the big questions.
"Ella do you promise to protect and honor your pack from this day forward?"
"Yes I swear to protect my pack from now until the end of time."
"Do you promise to be a fair and wise Luna from. this day forward?"
" Yes I swear to be fair to all of my pack from now until the end of time."
"Do you promise to give the pack a heir in our future?"
"I promise to do my best to give the pack an heir."
"Members of the pack I give you our new Luna."
As he said the final line I heard them all cheer in my head. I was now connected to the whole pack. Then both Dominic and I signed the official documents for the Luna ceremony and Ellen and Elsa witnessed it for us. Then we started the barbeque.
