Chapter twenty-four

After our kiss, Blake had gone back into supportive, loving mate mode. He would cheer me on, giving me courage to continue. Cody and I worked more on containing my emotions, and he even thought me a few breathing exercises to help me calm down. When the sun finally set, I was completely exhausted.

"Are you ready to go home?" Blake asks as I breath heavily. I nod, unable to talk yet from the physical and emotion drain today has had on me. After a minute or so, I am able to talk, and I turn to thank Cody.

"No problem. Come back next week around the same time and I can continue to help you with your powers." I thank him again as Trent, Blake, and I start walking towards our territory. "Oh and Madi, I suggest telling your pack members about your mark. I told mine, and they were all very supportive."

"Ok Cody. Ill take it into consideration. Thanks again." I say, and the three of us walk back the way we came.

Back home, Blake and I immediately go to Blake's parents house, and we lock ourselves in his room. His mom and dad have yet to come home, so Blake was starting to worry.

"Blake I'm sure their fine." I assure him, resting a hand on his. He instantly relaxes, and I smile. "But about earlier, I think we should tell the pack. Tonight."

He looks at me, trying to see if I'm bluffing. "Your sure? I don't want you to think that you have to." I grin.

"What were the ceremony words? To trust and be trusted? I need to be able to trust and confide in my pack." I say confidently, and Blake's eyes shine with adoration and pride.

"Your gonna be a great Luna." He says, then links the pack, telling them to meet at the stone. Blake stands up from the bed, picking me up bridal style. We walk out the door and through the house, ending up in the woods.

He carries me to the same place I had my pack introduction at, and by the time we arrived, everyone was already seated on the makeshift stone benches. Blake sets me down, and I squeeze his hand before letting go and walking up to the front of the crowd. Moon goddess please be with me. I silently prayer to myself.

Clearing my throat, I begin. "As you all know, I am Madi James, soon to be Luna of this wonderful pack. As you also probably know by now, something happened today at the pack house that was very... interesting." By the looks of every face in the pack, I could tell they knew exactly what happened.

I continued, "I have recently found out that I am a special breed of werewolf. As you all have seen, I have a special mark the body of my wolf, and it symbolizes my power. I can control the weather, and before I learned to control it, my power spiraled out of control this afternoon. I won't point fingers, but as most of you know, when someone addresses your mate as if they aren't yours, you get a little possessive, dontcha think? I say the last part with slight anger, looking directly in Whitney's direction. Everyone in her vicinity steps back, and glares deeply at her.

"I understand if you don't want me to be your Luna anymore, and I accept it." I say sadly, hanging my head low. To my utter surprise, a little girl steps away from her parents and walks towards me. She looks no older than six, but her words are far mature then a girl her age should speak.

"Luna Madi? I think you'll make a wonderful Luna, and it doesn't matter if you have powers or if you had three heads, we will still love you no matter what. Special breed or not, your still one of us." And as if things couldn't get more astonishing, one by one, the entire pack claps, until not a single person is sitting. Except Whitney of course. Everyone cheers, and I laugh out loud. People come and surround me, and I pick up the little girl, hugging her tightly.

"Thank you all! I won't let you down!" I shout to my pack, and meeting Blake's love filled eyes, I finally realize where I belong.
