Sold by my Alpha, bought by my Mate Chapter 97: The Ceremony

Mildred

"What do you think, miss? Is it too tight... how do you feel it?"

"It's very nice, it feels right..." I said, looking at myself in the mirror, unable to believe it was me.

The dress was really beautiful, the most beautiful thing I had ever put on in my life, and it looked as if it had been made especially for me.

"Mr. Jeremiah ordered it especially for you with your measurements and based on you. It has been so long since we had a ceremony here at the castle. I must say everyone is very excited," she told me happily. She was one of the king's attendants and had been here for years.

Finally, our mating ceremony was coming, I couldn't believe it, and with each passing moment I felt my longing and desire for my mate appear as if it had been hidden for a long time.

But now that the decision was made, these feelings had blossomed with everything I had.

I felt butterflies in my stomach just thinking that I would finally be with him, that he would mark me, and that it would be him and me for the rest of our lives, together as Alpha and Luna of his pack.

The dress was silver, the color of his pack, with beautiful details of bright flowers, under the skirt were silver and glitter, at my waist a small belt with a silver moon on it. It looked like a dream.

They had fixed my hair with a small headdress also in silver colors, it was still too short to make a big hairstyle, but it looked great, and they had given me really beautiful jewelry with details of moons and little wolves. They looked antique and really stood out on me.

"Alpha Asher ordered his family jewels just for you, they are yours..." the lady told me with a big smile.

"You look really lovely," Penelope appeared in a beautiful dark dress, and it made me so happy to have her here by my side. I didn't have many friends, the only one had been Ava, but I was so happy to have her here.

"You look fantastic..." I said as I looked at her curves, she had large breasts and wonderful hips.

"Thank you... but you are the star here. A very wonderful one at that. How do you feel?"

"I feel very nervous," I confess, and she chuckles.

"I was terrified at my ceremony, but the moment you see your mate, that'll all change. You'll see," she tells me with great conviction.

The castle seemed to be buzzing with excitement at this ceremony, and there were no signs of the small battle a few days ago. All that was over, and now all that was left was to focus on the future, or so the king had said.

When the door opened, I knew it was time and a very smiling Jeremiah was waiting for me.

"Miss... I have to say, you look fantastic. My friend is a very lucky man. I am honored to be chosen to accompanied beautiful ladies such as yourself, in this wonderful occasion," he says, taking my hand as Penelope says goodbye and goes to stand next to her Alpha, who is already at the ceremony.

"I feel my heart pounding"

"You'll see, in a few years you'll think about this moment, and you won't remember that you were nervous or even what you were wearing, but your mate," he tells me.

"I never thought this would happen, with everything and finding out I had two Alpha mates, I never thought of myself as Luna," I confess to him as we walk to the venue.

"But you are, Miss. You have been acting like a Luna for quite some time now. I must say, we all love the Big Alpha, but I've spent years listening to him beg for you, longing to have found you... and thank the moon, that day has come," he says as we enter the castle gardens.

It was an indoor garden because no one dared let us do this in a more open place for fear that Randall would interrupt the ceremony.

And I realized that Jeremiah and Luna Penelope were right, because from the first moment I saw Asher, all my fears disappeared. My mate had shaved his beard lightly and was wearing a beautiful tuxedo.

His hair was tied back in a braid, and even though he looked very formal, there was still something of that rebellious Alpha that had won me over some time ago.

He was still my Alpha, and when he looked at me, time seemed to stand still, and I felt a chill run through my body just from his gaze.

His eyes moved slowly over my entire body, lingering on my face, the neckline of my dress, and the way my skirt fell to my ankles. I was faintly aware that the other alphas were there, and that next to Asher was Duncan, who, although I knew he was sad, smiled for me.

In front of them was none other than the king, who seemed to be conducting the ceremony, with his retinue and protectors off to the side.

Jeremiah let go of my arm and gave my hand to Asher, who greeted me enthusiastically.

"As it should have always been, your mate, Luna Mildred...has finally come to you and chosen you," the vampire tell him, and my mate smiles.

"And here are your Alpha… made specially for you" Jeremiah adds to me.

"My Millie...goddess...you look so beautiful. I don't know how I'm going to make it through the night," Asher growled and I gasped. As the king began to speak, everyone became quiet and the ceremony officially began.

"Hear me, wolves and she-wolves, for the Moon Goddess has brought these two mates together to be joined forever. The goddess' designs are strange, but she is rarely wrong, and our friends have been through much, but they are finally together," he said, and Asher wouldn't let go of my hands.

I thought I heard some noises outside, but I concentrated on my mate.

"Behold the Alpha of River Ash, with her human mate who will become a part of us forever, at this very moment. Do not be fooled by appearances... the Alpha is powerful, but so is she. And together they will make the wolf world a more powerful place. Our kingdom will be stronger," he said.

The crowd applauded, and I saw people from the castle, some Alphas with their Moons, and more wolves.

"Does the Alpha and the future Luna have anything to say?" the king asked, and I was stunned.

I hadn't prepared for this and didn't know what to say, but Asher spoke first.
