Not Rejected Just Unwanted

Chapter 20



RAINE'S POV

It was the day of the ceremony and to say I was nervous would be an understatement. I was scared beyond comprehension. Not only because I was stepping up as Luna but also because before I could claim that role, Jonathon and I had to mark each other so that we can strengthen our bond as Lucas said. And let me tell you, my neck was still quite sore. I'm currently standing in front of the mirror in my room looking at the dress I was wearing for the ceremony. "You look beautiful, Raine." I heard someone say.

I turn my head around to find Elijah standing in the doorway. A small smile started to show as I turned to face him until his eyes landed on my neck.

"So you did it?" he asked.

I looked at his eyes and saw sadness and hurt swirling in them. "Yes..." I answered.

"Are you happy? Being with each other I mean?"

"Yes, very happy," I said with a small smile, as I reached for the necklace that Jonathon had given me for Christmas.

"Here, let me help you with that."

I nodded before turning back to the mirror as he placed the necklace around my neck and clasped it. I let out a sigh, trying to relax and calm my nerves. I guess Elijah could see the fear in my eyes cause he turned me around and looked at me. "Hey, just breathe. You will make a great Luna, I know it. You and Jonathon will be able to keep this pack strong."

I closed my eyes and nodded. "Thank you, Elijah."

Then I heard someone knock on the door "Raine?" Luna said ducking her head in "It's time. You ready?"

I took a deep breath "Yes, Luna, ready as I'll ever be," I said walking up to her ready for her to walk me into my new life.

When we got to the backyard my heart felt like it was about to fly out of my chest. I saw Jonathon standing there in his tux and all my anxiety melted away. No matter how terrifying the future is, Jonathon will be by my side and I'll be by his,and when the pack needs us, we'll be there.
