Chapter 112: Finally, Our Marking Ceremony (1)

After breastfeeding my pups, I patted their backs to burp them. Then I let Irene and Julianna bring them back to their room. Later, two Rhos came with my mild green dress. Mimi helped me to wear the dress. Then, another Rho came with two boxes. The first was a white roses garland. The second was a set of white diamond necklace with white rose shape as its pendant, the matching diamond earrings, and bracelet.

I gasped to see the jewelry. It was elegant and beautiful. A Rho smiled and said, “It’s from our Alpha, mistress. He hoped you would wear it today. Our Alpha has another set of heritage jewelry from his great grandmother to his grandmother and his mother, but he wanted you to wear a new jewelry set for today.”

Taking my breath, I nodded. The jewelry was lovely. It fit for a Luna. After wearing the jewelry and looked at my reflection in the mirror, I gasped again.

“Is it something wrong, mistress?” A Rho asked.

I shook my head. My tears damped my cheeks. “The jewelry … They fit with my dress.”

“It’s because our Alpha asked us what kind of dress you would wear today. When we showed us the dress, he also asked us to design a jewelry set to match the dress.”

A Rho came with a pair of mild green flat shoes for me. Then they did my hair and makeup. After finishing with everything, a silver glittery mild green veil placed on my head, under the white roses garland.

Melanie and Mimi wiped their eyes, so did some Rhos. “You are a perfect bride for our Alpha, Anna,” Melanie said. “I’m so happy you finally have the happiness you deserve.”

I hugged Melanie and almost shed my tears too. But a Rho shouted, “Don’t cry, mistress. It will take more time to fix the makeup.”

I laughed when I heard that and wiped the corner of my eyes to prevent my tears from staining the makeup. I took a deep breath to calm my emotions. It was still a long day to come. Wait until Cameron saw me! I grinned, as I was sure he would be happy too.

But then another Rho knocked on the door. “Mistress, you look so lovely. Our Alpha will be very pleased!” she said.

“Thank you.”

“Mistress, our Alpha asked me to remind you to prepare the milk for your twins.”

I raised my eyebrows. Would the marking ceremony take a long time? But I nodded. “I will. Please tell our Alpha that everything will be ready soon.”

The Rho bowed her head and left Cameron’s room. Soon, all Rhos left the room too. I asked Mimi to bring the breast pump and the bottles. After trying several times, finally I could pump the milk into a bottle after twenty minutes. After one and a half hours, finally six bottles were full of my milk. The twins wouldn’t be hungry when we were at the ceremony.

Melanie brought me roasted bread with beef, cheese, ham, tomato, lettuce, and sauce to eat. When I wanted to refuse, she placed the plate in my hands. “Eat it, Anna. Who knows if you need to pump your milk again soon after saying your pledge?”

I sighed, but Melanie was right. Considering I had two pups, I must prepare all the time. So I ate the bread, and unexpectedly, I could finish it all.

Then Nate knocked on the door. “Are you ready? Cameron is nervous to wait for you.”

Melanie, Mimi, and I giggled, but then I nodded. “Yes, Nate, I’m ready.”

Then we walked to the field where all of our pack members had been waiting for me. Cameron, his father, Jack, and our Elders were there too. It was like a dream come true. The field was decorated in white. Many white roses on the tables and chairs. Cameron wore a white tuxedo. He looked so handsome! My heart beat so fast, as he would officially be mine soon.

When I was beside Cameron, my eyes were moist. He couldn’t stop staring at me, and his hand reached out to hold mine. “You are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen in my life.”

I blushed and took a deep breath, as I didn’t want to ruin the hard work of our Rhos. “You are so handsome too, my love.”

He squeezed my hand, and soon, Elder Tom’s voice filled the field. “Our beloved pack members, it’s such a lovely day we gather to see the happy moment of our Alpha’s life. He will have his mate today. Alpha Cameron Black and Miss Anna Warren, please say your pledge to each other.”

Cameron nodded at Elder Tom. “Thank you, Elder Tom. We are grateful for your support and also honored to have our pack’s support on our big day. Anna and I have been through a lot. It’s too much to tell one by one, but it is enough to say that we can be together because it’s fate.”

Some she-wolves wiped their already wet eyes to hear what Cameron said. I bit my lower lip too because I wanted to cry. It was true what he said. We had been through two lives to be together. That’s why the marking ceremony today was so precious to us.

“Anna Warren, I’m not always appreciate the chance the Highest One gave me. I failed you in the past. For that, I ask for your forgiveness. Yet you have never stopped loving me. Your courage and faithfulness help me stay strong. With our pack members as witnesses, I want to be the man you will lean on and depend on for the rest of your life. I promise to protect, honor, and love you from now until forevermore.”

Nate opened a black velvet box, took a diamond ring, and then handed it over to Cameron. “The ring, Bro,” he said.

Cameron took the ring from Nate. “Thanks!” Then he put it on my ring finger. “With this ring, I tie you as my mate. May our commitment be like this ring, keep united and never ending.” He bent to bite my neck, licked it a little to heal a little wound there, and whispered, “I love you, my darling.”
