Chapter 134
Alora’s POV
My suite and the Beta’s Suite, were the only two that had large fully functioning kitchens and large dinning areas in them. The
other suites on this floor of this wing have moderate sized kitchens and dinning tables. This floor of the West wing was dedicated
to the Clan Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Enforcers and their mates and pups.
This meant they were designed differently then the rest of the long term living suites and the quest suites in the other parts of the
Mansion. Luckily we had four guest suites of our own one this floor as well, they were set up like the Enforcer’s and Gamma’s
suites. It will make it easier when all our family’s comes to visit. (b
My dad, mom and brothers were all put into one of these guest suites while they stayed with us. The Luna and the Alpha had
been coming over early to have breakfast with us before everyone split off to start their work, or other things, coming back
together at meal times. In between, I had made sure to make time to spend with my new family.
I wanted to get as much time with my mom, dad and Cathel, as I could before we all left for Blood Moon Castle, as they would be
staying there, till they could come here to visit me again. Even though I would be going there with them tomorrow, I would only
be there for so long, before having to come back.
We had discussed all the different holidays that we were going to be able to celebrate together, and the others that we couldn’t,
due to our leadership responsibilities. It had been fun planning our future, and the birth of our pups. We needed to make sure we
made it back from Blood Moon Castle, before Kass, Bella, and Beatrice go into their heats.
The sun was shining through the large windows into the dining room and kitchen, providing plenty of light. The food smelled so
good, there were even fresh bread rolls. Damien and I sit together and he puts a couple of plates together for me, there was a bit
of everything on the plates.
Feeling half starved, I dig in and eat. When I was done with the first round of food I went in for seconds.
Damien’ POV
I watch my mate devour her food and go back for seconds, I couldn’t help the chuckle I let out watching her eat. She looks up at
me with a questioning look, I just smile and kiss her face. “You look adorable mate.” I tell her, her cheeks heat up as a result of
my words. She smiled and went back to eating. ?

“I love that dress, it looks so good on you, I’m glad we talked you into getting it.” Stephanie said. Slowly but surely, during a
couple of shopping trips, Alora was building a very different and much larger wardrobe then what she was used to having. 2
I could tell she had been having so much fun with her family and the other females she now called friends. She was glowing
more and more everyday, her light coming out and banishing the darkness that had been her life till recently.
“Oh! Oh! Oh!” Kass suddenly said in excitement, practically jumping in her seat. “We’ll have to take you to our favorite stores
while were staying at Blood Moon Castle!” her face was lit up with her excitement, that got her a dazzled look from her mate
Kian. That wolf was very much in love with his mate.
“Oh! And the Salon too!” Bella said next, she also looked excited. The way Galen gazed at Bella, showed he was just as gone on
her, as his brother was on Kass. Holidays were definitely going be lively love filled events from now on.
More plans were made for Alora’s siblings to show her this or that or take her to this or that once we got to Blood Moon Castle.
Alora and I would definitely be busy during out visit, and I was looking forward to watching Alora as she was having all these
experiences. They were everyday classic things that most females and teenagers got to experience as they grew to adult hood.
Only for Alora, this was her first time getting to have them.
I was determined that she would have more, she deserved it. My dad, brother and I helped with the clean up after breakfast, as
soon as we were done, my mother looked at the clock and said. “It’s time everyone, the guests should be arriving shortly and we
need to get into our places.” she said.
I go to Alora and wrap an arm around her, tucking her into my side as we walked out the door together.
Darien’s POV
The sun was shining through the leaves of the willow tree, creating a type of magic with the light. The wind was blowing just
enough to rustle the plant life around us, bringing with it the sweet scent of all the flowers in the garden. This place had a magical
air about it, the moment we stepped under the willows vines I felt a sense of peace, of healing. Chairs were put in rows in front of
a make shift stage.
Serenity and I were taking pictures of everything, I didn’t want to miss any of this, my best friend, now my sister in law, was being
adopted. ” It’s so beautiful here, I feel a sense of peace and healing.” my mate said, proving what I was feeling wasn’t just my
imagination.

I look at her, taking in her beauty, her smile and her gaze was soft and loving, her kindness shining through her. I took a picture,
unable to resist capturing this moment. I would show all of these to our pups one day. She looks at me after I took her picture,
her smile widened with her amusement and her eyes sparkled.
“And just what was that for?” she asked me, her amusement was also in her voice.
“You are so amazingly beautiful I just had to capture it, I want our pups to have plenty of pictures of there lovely mother.” I say to
her. I could here the huskiness in my voice as I spoke. She smiles up at me, her amusement turning to a look of deep love.
She walks over to me and goes up on tiptoe then kisses my cheek. “I love how romantic you can be mate.” she tells me in a
whisper.
I turn my head and capture her lips in a brief but meaningful kiss. “I love you to the moon and back mate.” I tell her, my voice was
still husky with my emotions.
The ceremony started and we got back to taking pictures. I carried the equipment bags and every now and then I could feel
Serenity reaching in, sometimes to switch out a lens or to change out the memory card. Sometimes we switched cameras back
and forth.
My father was the one to officiate over the ceremony. “Stephanie Dayblood…do you wish to claim Alora as your daughter
through your blood and in your heart?” He asked Queen Stephanie in a serious tone that conveyed the importance of her
answer.
“That is my wish.” Queen Stephanie said, her stance was strong and confident, and her tone was firm.
“Alora Heartsong…will you accept Stephanie Dayblood as your mother in blood and in your heart.” My father asked Alora, his
tone still serious.
“I will.” Alora said, her voice was clear and her tone was firm.
“Palms.” My father said.
Alora and Stephanie extended one hand each to my father, their palms facing up. Dad took out a sacred knife only used for
these types of events and cuts a line across each hand, then he pressed their wounds together, Alora and Stephanie lacing their
fingers together, my father let go of their hands.
“Stephanie, Alora…say your oaths.” Dad instructed them.
“I Stephanie Dayblood claim Alora Heartsong as my daughter with my blood and in my heart.” Queen Stephanie said.
“I Alora Heartsong accept Stephanie Dayblood’s claim as my mother with my blood and in my heart.” said Alora.
There was a flair of power and a golden ring of magic surrounded their clasped hands, the band of magic was wide and had the
same type of intricate knots that Alora’s tattoos had, the ones marking her as a Lunar Princess. The ring spun for a moment,
then it shrank till it was touching the skin of their clasped hands, before sinking into their skin, disappearing as it did. It was done,
they were now mother and daughter. 2
There were cheers from the beings present for this. Alora’s siblings were all very happy their mother had adopted Alora, making
her not just a sister from their father, but now their mother too. It took a little bit to get everyone to settle down and get to the
second part of this event. The Kinship Ceremony. It was much less dramatic, but no less important.
“As Alora is mated to my son Damien, the next Alpha of Alpha’s and is a Clan Alpha herself, this Pack Claims Kinship with King
Sabastian Dayblood and Queen Stephanie Dayblood, King and Queen of the Vampires.” He said in his powerful voice.
“I Queen Stephanie Dayblood of the Vampires accept this Claim of Kinship by the Moon Mountain Pack.” Queen Stephanie said,
her voice also powerful and strong.
“This Kinship is recognized by the Werewolf Council.” said one of the Werewolf Council representatives.
“This Kinship is recognized by the Vampire Council.” said a Vampire Council representative.
“The Kinship is Recognized by the Super Natural Council.” a representative of the Supernatural Council said.
“The Adoption of Alora by Queen Stephanie Dayblood, formerly Stephanie Goldlight is recognized by the Witches Council, as is
this Kinship.” said a representative from the Witches Council. There was shock on most everyone’s face at the words of the
representative who had seemed to appear out of no where. O
“Did the Witches Council get invited?” Serenity asked me in a low voice, almost a whisper.
“No, no they were not.” I answered her, my voice also low but my tone was solemn.
