My Fated Human Luna Chapter 191

44 Ceremony Part 1

Ruby POV

My father, brother, and Connor came to get Maverick early this morning. Our ceremony to become the official Alphas and Betas of the Scarlett Rose is today. It’s still surreal that Jade will become Queen of the Dragons and Archer will lead the coven by Danica’s side. I feel like even though they didn’t know who their mates would be, that’s why they never wanted to take the Alpha role in the pack. Something in them knew they were destined for something different. We are all exactly where we are meant to be. We will always be family and spend time together, but Jade and Archer’s places are by their mate’s side. Now three of the goddess children connect the dragons, wolves, and vampires. Gemma puffs her chest out and it makes me laugh. “The goddess always has a plan, it’s the human counterparts that usually screw it up” she says and I roll my eyes. “Well, it’s a good thing our parents taught us to respect the goddess’s path.” A knock on the door brings me out of the conversation with Gemma. The door opens and my mother, Jade, Gwen, Danica, Autumn, and Tabby all step inside. “We are here to get you ready for your big day”, Jade says. I smile at how lucky I am to have all these people in my life. “Soon we will be doing this for your coronation as Queen.” She smiles but it doesn’t reach her eyes. I make a note to ask her if everything is alright with her and Luca later. I hug everyone before we start getting ready for the day. An omega brings up fruit and sandwiches for us to snack on while we get ready.

Once I’m showered, I’m treated to pampering from the girls. My mother grabs my dress bag from the closet. Werewolves don’t usually get married, but Maverick wasn’t always a werewolf, so I want this to be special for him. The dress I picked out is an off-white mermaid style dress.

used for a wedding ceremony. I haven’t told him yet, but when they announce our titles, I plan to take his name. Autumn and I decided on this together as she will be doing the same for Connor. Her dress is light pink as she isn’t a fan of white wedding dresses. They help me step into my dress and zip up the back. Jade does my hair down with loose curls. I keep my makeup light and natural. When I finally stand in the mirror, I love how I look. The dress shows off my curves and Jade did my hair perfectly. Autumn steps out of the bathroom and they help her into her gown. It’s a princess gown that is light pink with jewels on the bodice. She has her hair in a French braid with wispy hair around her face. Her makeup is natural too and she looks so beautiful. Connor and Ranger are going to lose their sh*t. The girls leave us to get themselves dressed. “Are you nervous,” Autumn asks me. “I would be lying if I said no but only about the ceremony.” “Me too, but I’m excited to make our relationships official in the pack.” The door pushes open and I expect to see my mother but my father and Johnathon step inside.

I can see unshed tears in my father’s eyes as he stares at me. “You are so beautiful. I feel like I blinked and you went from a baby to this capable young woman. I’m so proud of you Ruby. I know you are going to be an even better Alpha than those that came before you.” I wipe my cheek “I could never be a better Alpha. I just pray to be as good as the Alphas that came before me.” He shakes his head but doesn’t say any more about it. I didn’t even notice that Autumn and Johnathon left the room. “I am so happy that you found your other half. Maverick is a good man and I know you two will have a wonderful life together. Now, I have to take you to some place special before the ceremony”, my father says. I look at him confused, but I give him my hand anyway. He leads me downstairs and into a room that is usually used for meetings. When he opens the door, I gasp. He kisses my forehead “congratulation sweet heart. I’ll see you later.” He walks away and I head into the room that is lit by candles. My handsome mate is standing in the center of the room.

Maverick POV

I thought I would be nervous, but I’m just excited. Excited to see Ruby and make her mine in every way. I sat down with Gabby and Lake yesterday because I wanted today to be more than our Alpha

ceremony. I know that werewolves don’t typically get married, but I still want Ruby to be my wife. Connor felt the same way, so today will be two ceremonies in one. Gabby and Lake were happy to give me their blessing. I felt it necessary to ask even though they had already accepted me. As I stand in this room waiting for Ruby to arrive, I think about everything that brought us to this point. How grateful I am that she came to the office before I made a huge mistake. This was always what was meant to be and I’m so grateful the goddess thought I was worthy of this gift. That is what Ruby is. A gift to me. The door opens and my breath catches in my throat. She is so beautiful. I put my hand out and she walks toward me. “Maverick what” she starts to say. I silence her with a kiss. When I pull back, I look into her beautiful green eyes. “Get our girls Maverick”, Gaylen says, and I chuckle. She smiles and I can’t wait to wake up to that smile every day. I lower to one knee and her eyes get big.

“Ruby Solace, you are my mate, the other half of my soul, and my Alpha. I will forever be indebted to the goddess for giving me the perfect mate. I want you to be mine in every way. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife.” I take the ring that has a princess cut Ruby with diamonds on each side and place it on her finger. “Yes, of course I will be your wife.” I stand and pull her into my arms. She grabs my face and pulls me down, pressing her lips to mine. It’s a kiss of love and tenderness. I pour all my love into this kiss. I can feel her love for me flowing through our bond and it’s almost too much. I pull back and rest my forehead against hers. “I love you, Ruby.” “I love you, Maverick, and I can’t wait to be your wife.” A knock on the door interrupts the moment. My mom sticks her head in. She screams when she sees us and rushes over to hug Ruby. “I’m so glad you’re going to be my daughter.” “Me too, Gwen.” “Now, I’m supposed to bring you to your dad and Maverick you need to get your butt out there.” We both chuckle and I kiss Ruby one more time before she follows my mom. I say a prayer of thanks to the goddess before I head out to the garden.

Autumn POV

When my dad and Lake show up, I’m a little confused. I expected us to meet them downstairs. “Come with me for a minute” my dad says, reaching his hand out to me. He leads me downstairs and near the

back entrance of the pack house. He stops and turns toward me. He lays his hand on my cheek. “Autumn, when I met your mother, I was so grateful to have such an amazing mate. I was happy and when we had trouble having a pup, I was never angry with the goddess. I knew that she had a plan for our lives. When we found out that we were going to have a pup, I don’t even have words to describe the feelings I had. You have been a blessing to me and your mother and I couldn’t imagine my life without either of you. I’m so proud of the woman you have become. Despite me giving Connor a hard time, I know he is perfect for you. I have no doubt that he will treat you with the love and respect you deserve.” I am full on crying and I don’t even care about my makeup. “Thank you, daddy. I love you.” “I love you too, my little Autumn. Now someone is waiting for you through that door. I will see you later.” He kisses my forehead and I’m confused, but I open the door.

The sight beyond the door is my handsome mate standing outside the garden. I walk to where he is standing and I can see all of his love for me in his eyes. He takes my hands in his. “Autumn, today we become Betas to our pack, but I would like us to become something more. You are my mate and I never knew what love was until I found you. He lowers to one knee and butterflies dance in my belly. “Autumn Blade, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?” He opens a box that contains a beautiful ring. It has a pink princess cut stone with two diamonds on the sides. He pulls it out of the box and places it on my finger. I never expected this and I’m in shock. “Autumn, can I have an answer” he asks. I laugh “I’m sorry, I was in shock. Of course, I will be your wife.” He stands and lifts me like I weigh nothing. “You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen” he says as he sets me on my feet. “You are pretty hot yourself.” Someone clearing their throat gets our attention. I turn to see my mom smiling at us. “Mom, look I’m engaged.” I show her my ring. “Your mate came and asked us for permission. He is a good man and the ring is beautiful.” I smile and rush over to kiss Connor again. “I’m here to take you to meet your dad and Connor needs to get to the stage.” “I love you Connor.” “I love you more Autumn.” My mother takes my hand and we head to meet my father.

Ruby POV

I loop my arm through my father’s and Autumn does the same. The doors open and we step out into the garden. I see a lot of familiar faces and some I don’t know. Alphas and Lunas from surrounding packs are always invited to share in this type of occasion. I’m glad to see that Micah and Loreli were able to make it, but there is a twinge of sadness knowing that a decision will be made today that will affect our family. I focus on the man waiting at the end of the aisle. My dad places my hand in Maverick’s and kisses me on the cheek. When I turn back, Micah is standing before us. He winks at me before he addresses everyone. “I would like to welcome everyone to the Alpha and Beta ceremony of the Scarlett Rose. I don’t often get to attend such ceremonies, but today I have the honor to officiate not only the Alpha and Beta ceremony but two wedding ceremonies.” I hear gasps all around us. “Thank you” I mouth to him. He smiles and nods at me. “Step forward Ruby Solace and Maverick Colwell.” We do as he asks. “Please repeat after me Ruby.” “I, Ruby Solace, take you Maverick Colwell as my mate and husband. To love and cherish in this life and the next.” He turns to Maverick. “I, Maverick Colwell, take you, Ruby Solace, as my mate and wife. To love and cherish in this life and the next.” “Autumn and Connor, please step forward.” He turns to Autumn. “I, Autumn Blade, take you Connor Blakely, as my mate and husband. To love and cherish in this life and the next.” He turns to Connor. “I, Connor Blakely, take you Autumn Blade, as my mate and wife. To love and cherish in this life and the next.” “It is with great pleasure and authority that I pronounce you husband and wife. You both may kiss your brides” Micah says. The pack erupts with hoots and applause.

Maverick places his hand on both sides of my face and kisses me. I feel him pour everything in to our first kiss as husband and wife. When he pulls back, the smile on his face makes my heart squeeze in my chest. Goddess, I love this man. “Now if you will all join me on stage, we will have the ceremony to appoint the new Alphas and Betas. We start to walk toward the stage hand in hand. Before we reach the stairs that lead to the stage, I get a link from my mother. “Ruby there are two humans at the gate and one is demanding to see his son, Maverick.” I stop dead and Maverick turns to look at me. “Ruby, what’s wrong?” “Your father is at the gate.” His eyes flash black. “I’m going kill him.” I turn to the guests. “I apologize for the delay but we have a situation to deal with.” I take Maverick’s hand because I need

him to calm down. As much as I want to kill Bruce, we can’t without evidence of his misdeeds against me. Goddess, how the hell did he find the pack?
