“Thank you, I’m glad he did too.”

“You’re going to make a wonderful luna,” he reassured me.

“I hope I don’t disappoint everyone. I’m just a little omega.”

“A luna can come from anywhere. Just because you were an omega, doesn’t mean you aren’t strong.” He patted my hand and I looked up at where we had stopped.

They had decorated the outdoor amphitheater with thousands of little lights. A warm glow fell over the whole area, and I was in awe.

The whole pack stood to attention as we entered. Zane was at the bottom of the hill on the stage, waiting for me.

Daniel walked me up to the stage and kissed my hand.

“Luna.” I gave him a warm smile before making my way up onto the stage.

I looked up at Zane. He was in an all-black suit, perfectly tailored to him. He looked amazing, and if I wasn’t so nervous, I would jump on him right here and now.

As I stepped onto the stage, Zane took my hand, his warmth radiating through me.

Zane turned to face the pack.

“Members of the Green Ridge Pack! We are here tonight to welcome Ella Matthews, mate to the alpha, and new luna to the pack.”

Zane turned to me, the luna dagger in his hand.

“Do you promise to obey and uphold pack law?”

“I do.”

“Do you promise to act as a partner to the alpha in all things pack-related and work to support and sustain the Green Ridge Pack?”

“I do.”

“Do you promise to be fair in judgment and use your position as luna to help your pack?”

“I do.”

Zane then took the dagger and made a slice in my palm before doing the same to himself. He clasped our hands together, and I immediately felt the whole pack surge within me.

I felt the mind-link form and was overwhelmed by the change.

Zane stood behind me and spoke again.

“With this mark, I make you my mate and official luna of the Green Ridge Pack.”

He pushed my hair to the side and whispered in my ear.

“This is going to hurt for a second.” His lips brushed down my neck and to the spot on my shoulder he had been waiting to mark.

He bit down, his teeth breaking my skin. I tensed at the pain, but it was quickly replaced with warmth and pleasure.

Zane licked the stray blood away from my already-healing mark and then stepped out from behind me.

“Welcome, Luna Ella!”

The entire pack echoed back, “Welcome, Luna Ella!” before erupting into applause.

I beamed. This moment was perfect.
