366 The Promise Of Happiness

Ronan extended a hand to help Lucien climb the elevated stage and Lucien took his hand gracefully.

The bouquet was handed to a priestess shortly after.

The music stopped playing and the room went quiet.

The High Seer ascended the stage from another entrance of the room.

A bright smile laced her lips as she directed her unseeing eyes at the pair of Alpha and Luna in front of her.

“It is a beautiful day blessed by the Moon Goddess,” she said to start the ceremony.

“It grants us a privilege to witness another union that shall strengthen the Infinite Eclipse Pack in specific and also the werewolf community in general.”

“Alpha Ronan Silverback from the Infinite Eclipse Pack, please step forward.”

Ronan gave Lucien’s hand another squeeze before he let go and stepped before the High Seer.

.....

“Do you presume to take Lucien Clearwater from the Silent Walkers Pack as your Luna?”

“I do,” Ronan answered.

“Alpha Annalynne Clearwater from the Silent Walkers Pack, please step forward,” the High Seer turned in Annalynne’s direction.

The latter stepped out of the first row and walked toward her brother.

She smiled at Lucien when she took him by his elbow and led him in front of the High Seer.

“Do you agree to hand over one of your pack members to Alpha Ronan Silverback in marriage?”

Annalynne’s smile turned into a cold glare when her gaze landed on Ronan.

She was so tempted to say no.

Because in her eyes, Ronan had not fully earned the right to marry Lucien. But her brother did not think that way. They loved each other, and Annalynne could testify to that. For the sake of Lucien’s happiness, Annalynne reluctantly answered with a “Yes”.

“Very well. Then, we shall proceed with the vows.”

With parting tears in her eyes, Annalynne handed Lucien over to his waiting mate.

“Love him well,” she said with choked sobs.

“I will,” Ronan promised. “Thank you, Alpha Annalynne.”

Ronan and Lucien gazed into each other’s eyes while they held hands in front of the High Seer, the representatives of all packs, the entire werewolf council members, all priests and priestesses under the Holy Temple, and also their families and friends.

“Alpha Ronan Silverback,” the High Seer spoke to Ronan first.

“Have you decided to take Lucien Clearwater as your Luna and thus grant him the power to rule over the Infinite Eclipse Pack by your side?”

“Yes,” Ronan answered.

“Will you honor the mating bond between the two of you and stay faithful to your mate until death separates the two of you?”

“Yes.”

“Will you love and cherish your mate dearly, and also love and protect any children that will be born from your union?”

A lot of Alphas and Betas furrowed their brows when they heard the High Seer’s words.

Some thought that she was senile.

Some believed that she was just using a standard speech for all wedding ceremonies.

Because how could two men bring forth children to the world?

They did not notice the grin that laced Ronan’s lips for a split second or the slight blush that appeared on Lucien’s cheeks at all. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

“Yes.”

The High Seer turned to Lucien subsequently and asked the questions that were reserved for him.

“Lucien Clearwater from Silent Walkers Pack, have you decided to leave your birth pack and accept Ronan Silverback as your Alpha and your mate?”

“Yes.”

“Are you willing to rule alongside Alpha Ronan as his Luna and devote yourself to your new pack, the Infinite Eclipse Pack?”

“Yes.”

“Will you honor the mating bond between the two of you and stay faithful to your mate until death separates the two of you?”

“Yes.”

“Will you love and cherish your mate dearly, and also love and protect any children that will be born from your union?”

“Yes.”

Ronan unconsciously held his breath during Lucien’s turn. Only after Lucien said the last “Yes” that the Alpha exhaled out of relief.

He looked at the High Seer full of expectation.

The youthful leader of the Holy Temple did not disappoint.

Her turquoise eyes fluttered lightly as she announced, “The ceremony has concluded. Congratulations, Alpha Ronan and Luna Lucien.”

Ronan tugged at their joined hands and pulled his mate into his arms.

Lucien closed his eyes while he breathed in Ronan’s calming scent, just before their lips were pressed together in a loving kiss.

All around them, the hall was drowned in a cacophony of cheering and clapping sounds.

The werewolf community welcomed the new Luna of the Infinite Eclipse Pack among themselves.

“Finally,” Ronan whispered as they held each other close and bumped their foreheads together.

Lucien cupped Ronan’s face in both hands and beamed at the man he just married.

“Please take good care of me, Alpha.”

Ronan planted a kiss on Lucien’s wrist before he captured his Luna’s lips in another kiss.

“I am forever in your good hands, my Luna...”

In Ronan’s twenty-six years on earth so far, he had experienced countless beautiful moments with his fated mate.

If anyone bothered to ask him which one the dearest to him was, he would have to say that all of them were equally precious at the corresponding time, place, and occasion.

And yet, at this very moment, Ronan was pretty sure that he had never been happier and felt luckier in his whole life.

A wedding was but the beginning of a long and arduous journey as a couple.

Granted, governing a pack was not an easy task.

One thing that they were sure of was that they could overcome anything together, whatever awaited them in the future.

According to the legend, the Moon Goddess promised eternal bliss to pairs of fated mates who found their ways to each other.

She never mentioned that it would be easy.

Looking back, the path that led to said eternal bliss was full of roadblocks, thorny vines, and sharp rocks. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

Ronan and Lucien survived to tell the story.

It was a bittersweet journey, but it was worth it every second of the way.
