The rituals started. All the chants were done by Elena, who didn’t have a choice but to wade off evil. Now it was time to pronounce herself Luna.

“Take. Say this.” The elder, knowing fully well that she didn’t know anything about werewolves, gave her a paper that contained what she’d say. Ellie also stood up and faced him. Her heart was beating so fast, but she kept trying to stay cool. This was not the time to feel scared or give up; she had to be intimidating and strong for her to get what she wanted. “I, Ellie Loren, pronounced myself a mate to Alex Warren and the Luna to the Blue Moon Pack.”

Alex also replied with a smile. “I, Alex Warren, Alpha, accept you as my mate and Luna.”

The elder turned to the people and said, “Everyone. Bow to your great Luna.” At that point, they all accepted it was over; the half-human was finally their Luna. They all bowed their heads and looked up again before the elder, performing the ritual, said again, “Everyone. Bow to your great Alpha and Luna. They all bowed again.”

“Are you still feeling nervous?” Alex asked, to which Ellie just smiled. She was not feeling as nervous as she was before. She looked back at the people. Some were shining their best smiles, while others looked so moody and angry.

“They’re waiting for us to share a dance.”

A dance?

“Don’t be nervous,” Alex said with a smile before stretching his hands towards her. “Shall we?” She wanted to say no, but she couldn’t, especially in front of the wolves watching her every move.

Having no choice, she placed her hand in his, their fingers brushing together. A shiver of fear ran through her as he guided her to the dance floor. “I’m not that good at dancing.” She said, but Alex just smiled. He placed her left hand on his shoulder, and his right hand went around her waist and pulled her closer.

“Don’t look anywhere else. Just look at me. Your focus should be on me.” He said, to which she also nodded with a smile. “This night is about you, bunny.”

Fire and ice…

This love is like fire and ice.

This love is like rain and blue skies. The music was slow and dreamy, and the room felt full of magic as they danced.

Don’t let me lose.

I’m still falling for you. Their movements were slow and graceful, like the gentle waves of the ocean. Their eyes never left each other, and every step felt like a promise of forever. Even Ellie was lost in his eyes. She couldn’t believe she had fallen in love with the man she thought she would leave and forget everything that brought them together. The werewolf she once found selfish and wicked.

At the other end of the stage. When all eyes were on the couple sharing a dance, His eyes were on the girl talking and smiling with a man. “Does she even know she’s talking to a werewolf?” He said to himself, still looking at them. But when he saw that they were already moving to the dance floor with some other people, he couldn’t think straight anymore.

Just when he was about to walk up to her, Maya pulled him. “Callum. Let’s dance.”

He looked at her before looking back at the woman who had also started dancing. “Dance? I’m busy right now.”

“Callum, please.” Maya begged before she quickly pulled him to the dance floor. Callum, having no choice, also followed her and took their position on the dance floor. They danced, but his focus was somewhere else; he wasn’t even maintaining eye contact with his partner. Likewise Maya, she looked so uncomfortable, but she still kept forcing out a smile. They also knew their dance was a shambles, but they still kept on.

No one can lift me or catch me the way that you do.

I’m still falling for you. The people clapped at the end of the song. Ellie also smiled before whispering to Alex. “I didn’t know you were a good dancer.”

“Werewolves love ball parties. So I had to learn ever since I was young.”

“It looks like I also have to start learning.” Ellie said, but before Alex could reply, he got interrupted.

“Alpha Alex!” A woman said this before bowing her head. She was wearing heavy makeup and different kinds of jewelry. Luna! She also bowed to Ellie.

“Good evening.” Alex said, not knowing what to call the woman. He couldn’t even remember the witch’s name.

“This is my daughter. Do you remember her?” The woman said it with a smile, but her smile faded away slowly when she heard it. “I don’t think I’ve seen her before.”

“Oh, really! It happens.” The woman continued with an awkward smile. Ellie was just looking at the mother and daughter. It was obvious they were up to no good.

“Can I ask for a dance, Alpha? That’s if Luna doesn’t mind.” The daughter said with a smile, shifting her gaze. Ellie was dumbfounded; she didn’t know what to say. She looked back at Alex and saw him also looking at her with a smile, as if waiting for her answer. “Does he also want to dance with her?”

She looked back at the girl with a sweet smile. “I’m sorry. We have something important to do, but you can ask other guys for a dance.” She said it in such a way that the two women didn’t even know if she was being sarcastic.

“Oh OK. It looks like things have changed. There was a time when girls like us used to have the chance.” The girl answered back with a smile, which Ellie also returned.

“It looks like we’ll leave you to enjoy the party. My wife looks tired, and I won’t like to stress her more.” Alex said. He held Ellie’s hand and walked out of the room without looking back at the women or the elders in the room.

Christina was already getting tired, and she thought of bidding Ellie goodbye before going, but she saw that Ellie and Alex were busy having conversations with some people.

“Hey beautiful! Are you going home now? I can drop you off.” She looked back to see that it was the guy she shared a dance with. As much as she wanted to decline him, she couldn’t because she had no one who could take her home. “If it’s okay with you. I’ll just drop you off at the bus stop.” She said, to which the man nodded.

He directed her outside, where her car was, and opened the door for her, but she hadn’t gotten in when someone suddenly pulled her back.

“You can go. I’ll take her home.”

“No. What are you doing? I don’t want to go home with you.” Christina said, but Callum did not even act like he heard her. Instead, he looked at the guy beside her. “Don’t make me repeat my words.”

The man, having no choice but to listen to the great beta, also bowed lightly before entering his car and driving off. Christina was just staring in shock. “What the hell just happened?” She thought before turning to him.

“What’s all this? What do you think you’re doing?!” She screamed at him, attracting the attention of the people around them. But the man in front of her was just acting unbothered. “I’ll take you home.”

She took a deep breath and said calmly, “No. I’m not going home with you.”

“I don’t think this is the time for you to act stubborn. You’re on the outskirts of the city with creatures that are different from you. You never know what might happen.” Callum said with a straight face. “Is he threatening me?” She thought, but she also felt scared.

“Where is your car?”
