Chapter 62 – Celeste

Celeste P.O.V.

“Kelly, can we be done? I need to peel” I said.

“Fine, go pee, but we’re not done!” she said, and one of the girls working on my hair let me up. Kelly

had decided she wanted my hair straightened for this and two of the hairstylists had been tackling a

side of my hair each. We were about an hour in and they still needed to do about a third of my hair.

Naturally curly, my hair reached my butt, but the hair they had managed to straighten went past my

knees. Kelly had opted for doing her own makeup in order to get her stylist to help with Maya’s hair. My

makeup was being done by a third, who

would then do Kelly’s hair. Kelly had said she didn’t matter as she wasn’t in the ceremony, but I had a

gut feeling she’d find her mate.

tonight and I insisted she get it done too.

Thirty minutes later, I was finally deemed ready for the ceremony and the girls were working on Kelly. I

went into the walk-in closet and slipped on the dress. When I came out, I finally grabbed the letter from

the dresser and sat down on the bed to read.

Celeste, my little piece of sky,

The day you were born, I had a vision. This isn’t normally my power, but I believe Selene allowed me to

tap into yours. I saw your Luna Ceremony. I saw the beautiful, strong Luna you will become. I am so

proud of you, my daughter. As / watch you grow, I see glimmers of the woman you are.

I also saw that your father and I were not at the ceremony. Only one thing could have kept us away. I

am sorry that you will lose us. /

hope you know we would have done anything to have been there. Stay safe, trust your mate. He looks

like a good man. I know the future

ahead is going to have some rough moments, but you can overcome anything. Find your allies. I know

you can put an end to what has

plagued our bloodline for so many generations. I hope this day is everything you hope for. Know that

your father and lare and always will

be proud to be your parents. You can always find us in the wind and in your heart. Give them hell little

one.

Love,

Mom.

“Celeste? What’s wrong?” Maya asked. I blinked several times, making sure I didn’t cry and my eyes

stopped glowing. Maya and Kelly

were looking at me concerned.

“Nothing is wrong. Just reading a letter my mother left me with the dress,” I said. I felt Markus pull on

the mind link. Iam fine love.

Just emotional today,’ I told him.

“Do you need a moment? We only have a few minutes. I can ask mom to wait,” Kelly asked, and I

shook my head. I put the letter on

my nightstand and put my nude wedges on.

“I don’t need to wait to become Markus’ Luna,” I said, Maya smiled and hugged me.

‘I’m going crazy waiting to see you Tuli, Markus’ voice filled my head. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Just a little while longer,’ I said.

“Luna, Maya, It’s time. Mom’s ready for us.” Kelly said.

Maya wrung her hands nervously. I put my arm around her shoulders. “Danny’s jaw will drop when he

sees you,” I said.

She looked beautiful. They had gathered her hair upwards with a delicate band around the crown of her

head, her bangs flowing

down the side of her face. I had opted to let her borrow the amber jewelry I had picked up from the

deposit box. It just looked right with

her dress. Her makeup was a smoky yellow and orange ombre with nude lips.

Kelly’s hair was elegantly swept to the side. She had applied metallic green with black eyeshadow that

almost looked like a masterful shimmery oil spill. Her bright red lips.and dress made her look like she

was headed to a red carpet event.

I had a gold and black ombre eyeshadow and maroon lips. It complimented my tanned skin and dress.

When the light hit me just

right, I looked like I was on fire.

We headed down to the first floor where Mrs Quinn was waiting for us. She smiled and teared up when

she saw us.

of words and then she got right down to business. “We have about two hours before the sun sets and

the moon begins to peak. We have a

wall temporarily set up on the right side so you can take your place behind the stage area. We don’t

want anyone seeing you before the Ceremony. Maya and Danny will be called up first. Luna, you will

be allowed to watch from the side of the stage, Markus will be on the

other side of it so he can’t peek.”

“Is it really necessary to be separated that long? Why can’t we just watch together?” I asked. I hated

being away from Markus for so

long. It gave me an upset stomach.

“It’s tradition,” she insisted. I sighed and nodded. “Once the Gamma oath is completed by councilman

Matthias, Maya, you and Danny have seats in the front row. We will call you up Celeste, and you can

take your oath as Luna. Shortly after that, we will get ready for

the Full Moon Run and there will be dinner after. I’m so proud of you girls and Kelly dear, you look

amazing,” she said, hugging her

daughter.

“Thanks mom!” she said brightly and headed out to the seating area.

We followed Mrs Quinn to the stage area. I could barely see the stage from where I was but Mrs Quinn

wasn’t budging.

Councilman Matthias stood up and called Maya and Danny up. Maya and Danny performed their oaths

to each other and the entire pack cheered. I was cheering with the rest of them, trying not to tear up

because I knew Kelly would have some words for me if I messed

up my make-up.

Finally, Councilman Matthias called us up. I went up the steps and saw him. He was the most

handsome man in the world to me, and

!

he was all mine. He was wearing a black Armani suit. It looked like it was made for him and come to

think of it, it probably was. He had a

maroon undershirt and matching handkerchief and tie. He looked like a god and he smiled so big when

he saw me. I was mesmerized.

His eyes turned black, before one of them went back to grey. Atlas and Markus, our mates, were both

present.

I let Kara push forward with me. Meeting our mate in the middle of the platform.

“Hello mates,” Atlas and Markus said.

“Hello mates,” I said and closed the distance, still having to stand on my tippy toes to kiss him even

with the heels.

“Ahem, the kiss comes after the oath…” Councilman Matthias said and the crowd laughed as we broke

apart.
