Sealed with a kiss

Atasha's Point of View

We arrived at the beautiful church. This was also the church that I saw at Trisha and Zach’s wedding. It was a different looking one compared to the old church that I saw last time we were at the Silver Moon Pack. At the church where the curse began with the witch got scared that I believe I can no longer endure the pain and suffering that I’ve encountered way back when I was in the Silver Moon Pack. Joaquin then opened the door of our vehicle. "Watch your step," Joaquin instructed, and as I stepped outside of the vehicle, it was so empty and I didn't see any people compared to the previous wedding.

"Veronica, I know that it’s weird to ask, but last time that I arrived at the church to catch Trisha and Zach’s wedding, there were a lot of people waiting outside of the church. Now it seems so empty and quiet."

She laughed as a response that I found a bit amusing.

"Why are you laughing? It’s not that I want people to witness my wedding. I just found it weird. I don’t know what their reactions are outside of knowing that Trisha and Zach are the next alpha and Luna. I mean, that’s what they know. "

Veronica then quickly responds with her teasing voice, "Are you jealous because there’s a lot of people that are waiting for them outside?"

"Of course not! I’m not jealous or anything! "

"You’re lying, Atasha. I could see it in your face." she chortled.

"Alright, I admit it. Because I was there when I was in the swarm of a crowd just to stop their wedding. Then if that wedding is not the ceremony of unification, does it mean that it wasn’t a real wedding? "

"Well, that’s right. It wasn’t a true wedding. We noticed that Zach was not his usual self. He seemed to be under Trisha's spell. But we can’t simply go into violence against her and we need to play along with her game. So she thinks that she can outsmart the Alpha. She fell into his trap. He then created a fake wedding for the two. He also asked the people to attend because he knew that someone might have stopped their wedding, and it turns out that it’s you two. "

"I see, so that’s Alpha Gregory’s plan." I didn’t expect that he was already on top of it.

"Actually, I worked with him to make it all work. I acted like I didn’t care at all so you two also thought that I was under the spell of Trisha. "

My eyes widened and I held onto his arms. "Oh my, yes. I really thought you did! "

She chuckled and shook her head, "I bet Elijah also fell into my acting."

"Yes, maybe Elijah too. But I’m glad that your father truly believes in me now and in your mother, Samantha. This is the happiest day of my life, Veronica. So I wanted to savor each moment. "

"You deserve it, Atasha." Alpha Gregory still believes that you need something to prove after this because you’re facing a greater battle after this. I bet she’s now preparing her next move against you and the whole Crimson Moon Pack. It will not be the end. "After this unification, I want you to focus on the next challenges you’ll be facing as the Luna, and I’m here to support you, Atasha."

I bit my lower lip and I understand the next challenges are that she was talking about. Dealing with my former sister Astrid, now part of a big clan But now that Beta Drogo is dead, I wonder what the next step or journey they’ll be taking. especially that Alpha Gregory killed him.

The door opened in the church, and there’s a long red carpet that leads to the altar. In each seat, I could see Elijah’s cousins and other members of the Montreal Clan. All eyes were on me, and they were also smiling from ear to ear. Their heads are turned and they are following each of my steps.

I don’t have any family members inside, but for some reason, I don’t know if it’s only my hallucinations, but I saw my father and mother seated in the corner of this church, smiling and waving their hands at me. I blinked my eye and, of course, it was a different person. I smiled bitterly, and I’m hoping that my parents are still alive and will witness me walking down the aisle to marry the person of my dreams. My mate Elijah Montreal was waiting for me, and I arrived at the altar, and then the priest started the unification ceremony.

"Mettle, I’m blessed and thankful to the Moon Goddess that I found my mate. You’re my answered prayer. My life was an absolute mess, but when I met you, Everything changed in the snap of a finger. It was not hard for me to love you. It just feels right. I didn’t push it to make it work. It’s like a key that just fits right into its lock. And you unlock the door of possibilities. You open everything and light up the dark corners of my mind. That’s why this day I treasure the most. I love you, Atasha, always and forever. "

He grabbed my hand and kissed it. I was speechless at that moment, so I couldn’t hold out into my emotions and cry. My heartbeat was pounding so loudly and I felt the shakiness in my body.

"El, I didn't know that I had met someone like you in my entire life. I always felt that I was a cursed werewolf, but not until I found you. even if I'm your slave at first. You always give me a chance to stand on my own two feet and believe in myself. You gave me a chance to find and heal myself. If you find me in the East Land, and if we're not able to meet the witch, then I wasn't able to be here with you. "

"Atasha, listen, even if you're a cursed werewolf. I'll do whatever it takes to be by your side. That's how much I love you. Please, remember that."

The priest then began the ceremony and we both shared a kiss that made my heart beat faster and the memories flashed of my struggles and the restoration of power inside my mind and soul.

After that kiss the priest declared it, I'm now officially the Luna of the Crimson Moon Pack.
