Howling Hearts

"Shall we continue then?" The elder asked, looking between the two of us with a soft look. We both nodded in unison without breaking eye contact. The elder cleared his throat and the crowd went silent

. "Lucian Silvermane, do you take this woman as your mate, allowing her to mark you and become one with you, your second half for all eternity. To love her, to comfort her, to guide her and to honor her for as long as you both shall live?" "I do", Lucian said, smiling brightly.

"I do", I said, with my voice squeaking and a tear falling down my cheek from all the joy that was filling each inch of my body. Struggling to contain itself.

"You can say your vows now", The elder said, knowing that we had prepared ourselves.

Lucian nodded his head before he cleared his throat.

"Scarlet, I could promise to hold and to cherish you. I could promise to be in sickness and in health. I could say, till death do us part. But I won't..."

I gulped at his words and I could feel my hands shaking in his. He squeezed it twice again, letting me know that he loved me, while his words were completely opposite. He smirked at my reaction.

"Those vows are for optimistic couples, the ones full of hope. And I do not stand here full of hope. I am not optimistic or full of hope."

It felt like my heart had fallen right between my feet. Crashing down and shattering. His smile widened and I couldn't understand why. Was this all just some funny joke to him?

"I am sure of my decision today. And I know that there is no one else in this world that could take my breath away the way you do.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Make my heart beat faster the way you do, make me lose my mind the way you do.

You bring out the worst and the best in me. You are my existence, my heart. From this day forward, you hold my heart within the palm of your hands.

And for as long as you choose, I will hold and cherish you, through sickness and health and through heaven and hell. My heart will always belong to you."

Tears were streaming down my face in a marathon. And I just smiled. "Wow" I mouthed to him, unable to use my voice.

The elder then looked over to me and I nodded. I swallowed the lump that was stuck in my throat, attempting to swallow the tears along with it.

"Well... I have no idea how to top that" I said, giggling shyly and awkwardly. I could hear some people in the crowd giggle with me. "Lucian. I see these vows not as promises but as privileges. I get to laugh with you and cry with you, care for you and share with you,

I get to run with you and walk with you, I get to build and live with you.

I get to have you be the person I spend the rest of my existence with.

I get to be there for you and support you.

I get to honor and cherish you.

I GET TO.

You have held my heart within your palms since the moment we met. And I thank you so much for not pulling it to shreds.

If love was a casino game, I surely had hit the jackpot. And if it truly is a game, I wouldn't want to play with anyone else but you."

I could hear both my mom and his sniff from the front rows. "You may now mark the bride"

Without hesitation, Lucian pulled me close and started licking at my neck, finding the perfect place to sink his teeth in. When he did, he pulled his head back and I could see his canines growing out of the corner of my eye. I closed my eyes. And soon I felt his canines sink into my skin. At first it burned a bit but soon it turned into something orgasmic. I became turned on and just as I was starting to get wet he pulled out.

Just as his face came into eyesight again, I don't know what came over me, but I sunk my teeth into his neck at the speed of light.

The whole crowd broke out into a gasp but I could careless. I could feel our souls, wolves and existence uniting into one. When I pulled back I could see the mark and it entranced me.

It had beautiful swirls with half-moons hanging by the edge of it. The crowd was in awe just like me.

The elder cleared his throat and then took a silver dagger with moon stones imbedded in the handle and sleeve. It had an intricate historical design.

"Do you Scarlet Silvermane Swear to guide the Alpha if he goes down the wrong path?"

"I do"

"Do you swear to not use any of your powers for evil but only for the good of the pack" "I do"

"And do you swear to fulfill your duties as Luna to this pack?"

"I do"

"If anyone is against having Scarlet Bloodmoon as your Luna please rise?" (11

The elders voice echoed over the crowd. It was so quiet I could hear someone's feet shuffling in the back row. A few minutes went by and no one stood.

The elder removed the dagger's sleeve, making it shimmer in the light.

He then held his hand out to Lucian. Lucian gave him his palm swiftly and he then dragged the dagger across his palm. He then held his hand out to me and I slowly gave him my palm as well.

I felt the dagger slide into my flesh, but it wasn't painful. He then took our hands to join us.

"I now introduce you to Luna Scarlet Of Silvermoon". I could feel the bond being established and soon a bunch of voices filled my head all welcoming me to the pack.
