Chapter 33

**ELLA**

In my room there are clothes, shoes, and cosmetics everywhere. Mia and Esmeralda tried in vain to calm me down, but it was impossible.
"If you do not calm down, I will hit you." Mia warned me.
"No, she will not be able to heal until the ceremony. Come on my love take deep breaths. You knew it would happen."
Suddenly I started crying, my anxiety for tonight is incredible.
"Why are you crying?"
"Are you ok?"
Immediately both came next to me to hug me.
"What if he's not happy with the news?" I asked them.
"Of course, he will be happy. And I wonder with your patience, you knew it for a week you did not say anything." Mia commented.
"I thought it would be better to surprise him today." I took a deep breath and wiped my tears carefully so as not to damage my makeup, but my heart is still racing like crazy.
In the last 3 weeks everything went perfectly. We had finally calmed down and enjoyed our lives. Jonathan told me that it was time for me to officially become Luna. We have known each other for two and half years and had a son now.
The last few days I did not feel well, and I had my suspicions, until Esmeralda confirmed it. At first, I was excited but now I am worried if Jonathan will be happy too. We had never discussed whether we would have more children and to tell him at my ceremony in front of so many people did not help me.
"Time to dress." Mia said excitedly. With whom I went to search the perfect dress yesterday. And I remembered why I did not like shopping, many hours, more dresses to wear and the fact that I had to eat constantly did not help me.
"You look like a princess." They both said and made me smile. I was looking at myself in the mirror and thinking about my mom's ceremony dress she showed me when I was little. At that time, I was dreaming of my dress and now I feel blessed that I found one as I had dreamed of
"Blake told me everything is ready." I nodded and took a deep breath to gather my courage.
Jonathan did not let me get involved in the preparations, he wanted as he told me to be a surprise. No matter how much I pushed the girls or him, I never learned anything. He typically told me: all you must do is choose your dress. I rolled my eyes at my thoughts; he is so stubborn.
The ballroom was suffocatingly full of members of the pack. All dressed in suits and dresses. The decoration was magical, like from a fairy tale. Everywhere are flowers and fairy lights that gave a special atmosphere. At the back is the stage that was currently empty. I guess everyone will start dancing after the ceremony.
*We will finally become a member.*
*Yes, we will.* I replied to Aria who was looking forward to officially become the Luna.
Jonathan approached me and with Wyatt in his arms, both in identical suits. They were adorable and made my heart swell with pride.
"You are gorgeous."
"Thank you." My cheeks burn as he had looked me in the eyes.
"Ready? Everything will be fine. Don't be stressed." I saw him nod to someone behind and Blake immediately showed up.
"I will take the little one. Let's go play."
"Bake." We laughed at the way he says his name.
Jonathan put his hand on my waist and led me to the stage.
He put the microphone in front of him and asked for everyone's attention. Immediately silence prevailed and everyone turned and looked at us.
"Today, the day has come when my partner will take her rightful place among our pack."
He turned and looked me in the eyes and took my hand in his. With his claws he made a small wound both in mine and his hand and then joined them.
I immediately felt the whole connection with the pack, the mind link with everyone opened and I could feel each of them individually. It was scary but I felt the power piercing my whole body. I closed my eyes and enjoyed this small moment of connection. When it was over Jonathan had a wide smile on his face and his eyes sparkled with pride and love.
I cleared my throat and started speaking.
"I, Ella Wilson now as a member and Luna of Blake Stone, vow to protect and support you for the rest of my life. I will be by Alpha's side in all good and bad, and I will never betray you."
I did not say much, but it was these few and important things that mattered. At least I thank Goddess that I was able to say it without confusing my words. And then the unbelievable happened, something I had never seen before. All the men and women knelt in front of me with their heads bowed.
I turned to look at Jonathan and he was in the exact same position. He took my hand and kissed it, leaning on his forehead.
"MY LYNA"
I put my hand in my mouth and tried to hold back my tears, I heard the whole room shouting "Luna", and my lip was trembling. I saw in my mind Aria looking proudly through my eyes her new pack.
"My love."
"I… I…" But I could not speak to express all my feelings.
"It is a sign of respect." He told me and I nodded.
Jonathan took my hand and led me down the stage, where everyone in turn came to greet me and congratulate me. For the first time since the day, I came to this place I see them so happy and eager to meet me. I used to not be given importance and now all this love they show makes me the happiest person in the world.
Several hours later and I had talked to everyone, I turned to Jonathan.
"Can we talk?" I asked him and at firs he looked at me with his eyebrow raised but I could see the curiosity in his eyes.
"Somewhere alone." I added looking around how many had turned their attention to us.
"Of course." He replied and we walked to the garden.
There I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm my nerves.
"Are you ok?" I could feel his anxiety through our bond, and I turned my gaze at him.
"I want to tell you something." He nodded in agreement.
I took his hand and put it on my belly and smiled. At first, he frowned but few seconds later when awareness struck him, he opened his mouth and closed it again without saying a word.
"Jonathan…" I started to say but stopped as soon as I saw him kneeling in front of me, hands on my belly.
"Goddess, Ella." He kissed my belly, and I couldn't contain my tears anymore.
"You made me the happiest man, our family is growing." He said and I caressed his hair smiling.
"I thought I will never get the opportunity to see you pregnant. I was sure your scent was different, but I couldn't understand why." He got up and cupped my face.
"I love you."
"I love you too, nothing will separate us from now on." I nodded and he leaned forward to kiss me.
"Mum." Wyatt was running to us, and Jonathan took him in his arms. We stand there the three of us hugging and whispering love words to each other.
Our journey is not over yet. We have a lot to live on, as a pack but also as a family. But we will have each other and together we will protect our loved ones.
I lost my family and pack, and I will never forget them, they will be always in my heart. But I found the love of my life and I gave birth to this beautiful boy who will be the next Alpha of Black Stone and I will give birth at my second in a few months.
*This is happiness*. Aria commented.
*Yes.*
