Today flew by effortlessly, I thought it would drag along, especially since I was rejecting Chris tonight. It's time to get ready for the ceremonies, I finally pulled out the dress Priscilla brought for me, it is utterly breathtaking. The gown is long with a high slit up the left leg, it's strapless and it's a black silky material, with gold accents above the breast line, it also has long opera style gloves with gold accents at the very top. As I lay my gown out, there's a knock at my door.
" Come in" I call out. Alyse walks in with Priscilla behind her.
" We're here to get ready for tonight's nightmare" Alyse laughed. " A nightmare for Silvermyst unfortunately, but tonight means freedom for me." I smiled. " Yes it does, you'll be free and safe under Red Moon's protection." Priscilla added. We talked did each other's hair and make up, then we got dressed. Alyse wore a royal blue gown it has spaghetti straps at the shoulders, the back was completely out and it had a slit on the right side of the leg. Priscilla wore a red gown, she looked exactly like Jessica Rabbit. I sat down to put on my gold pumps " Here Ryder also wanted you to wear this tonight." Priscilla informed me holding a large velvet jewelry box. She opened it and pulled out an exquisite diamond necklace, she put it around my neck, then handed me the box " There's earrings and a bracelet that matches in there." she said excited. " Oh my Goddess, the set is beautiful, and maybe too much, I don't think I can accept all this. The gown, shoes, jewelry, Ryder's too kind." I replied stunned. "Get use to it, Ryder spoils the one's he loves." she teased. The three of us, took one last look at our reflections before we were on our way to the banquet hall. Our heels clicking against the floor was loud and we were fashionably late, so all heads turned towards us. We saw Chase raise his hand
" Over here ladies." he called out. We walked over and took our seats. I heard someone clear their throat, I looked over my shoulder " Tess, Jax, Alyson, and you are supposed to sit over here." Chris voiced agitated. I waved him off " I'm not a ranked member of the pack,so I'd like to sit with my friends. If Jax or Alyse would want to sit with you it's up to them." I answered back. Jaxon and Alyse just ignored him, and continued to converse with Priscilla and Chase. I heard him growl in response but I still paid no attention to him. Bentley Mueller stood with a champagne flute in hand " I would like to thank all of our guests present today, to witness my beautiful daughter becoming Luna of the Silvermyst Pack and the mating to the prestigious Alpha Christopher Patricks. I know in my heart they will be the best Alpha and Luna and Silvermyst will soon show up in the pack rankings." he boasted. " Did he use beautiful and prestigious to describe those two?" Chase chuckled. I just nodded trying to stifle my laugh. Bentley glared at our table then he proceeded to tell us all it was time for dinner then the ceremonies would take place. There would be a short run after the mating ceremony, then a small reception to celebrate. The staff started serving dinner, Bentley must have put a fortune towards the celebrations there were different plates made for every taste palate. Dinner itself flew by quickly, it was time to witness the ceremonies. First it was just Jenna taking her vows to protect and nurture the pack as Luna. Soon after Chris joined her and they made their vows to each other, they're now officially Alpha and Luna. I look around I see many pack members looking at me with pity, I give everyone the biggest most genuine smile I could. They need to see he may have broken me at first, but like a Phoenix I was reborn from the ashes of our relationship. It was time for the pack run, guests are permitted to join in celebration. " Ryder doesn't want you to shift Tess, he doesn't want anyone to see your wolf." Chase whispered. I looked at him confused " I wasn't planning on shifting, I'm the last person to celebrate that union." " Good I'll stay back with you." he responded. "Well I'm not shifting and running with those snakes." Priscilla spat out. " Stay behind with us then." I smiled at her and she nodded. " I'm going to run with my mom and dad since I'm out of here tonight." Jaxon told us and walked towards the forest. " I'd like to spend a little more time with you Tess." Alyse said. " I'll stay to protect Lun-I mean Tessa." Wyatt retorted.
The five of us walked around the gardens until they were done. It was time for the reception, music was blaring, there was a beautiful cake with wolves on it, and an open bar. I hated to admit everything tonight was elegant, the planners did a great job. We were on the dance floor dancing to "Don't cha" by the pussycat dolls, I couldn't help but notice Priscilla trying her hardest to get Wyatt's attention, but he was sitting down looking stoic as ever. I run over and grab Wyatt and pull him on the dance floor in front of Priscilla, I laughed as she shot me a death glare and he looked lost. Next there was a slow song a much older song when I'm with you by sheriff, Wyatt did ask Priscilla to dance, I was dancing with Jax, and Alyse with Chase. Towards the end of the song Chase comes up to me " It's time." We walk towards Chris " I suppose you're here to congratulate your new Luna." Jenna smirked at me. "No the Luna would like to speak." Wyatt hissed. " I am the Luna!" Jenna screeched. " Yes, you're the Luna of Silvermyst, the Delta was referring to the Luna of Red Moon." Chase explained. I stood tall and spoke loudly " I Tessa Ardelean reject Christopher Patricks as my mate and alpha, I also reject Silvermyst Pack as my pack and home." Chris holding his chest wheezed " I don't accept your rejection." " Then don't, but I'm leaving you and this pack!!" I exclaimed. Next up was Jaxon " I Jaxon Patricks reject Christopher Patricks as my Alpha and Silvermyst as my pack and home." " What the hell cousin" Chris yelped in pain. " Good bye cousin." Jax nodded. We as a group walked out the hall and straight for the cars waiting for us. We pulled out of Silvermyst territory and I didn't look back.
