“Sophia Dylan, are you willing to take so-so as your mate?” Robert asks, clearing his throat while all people here give me a standing ovation. They cheer and clap their palms together, I’m finally getting mated today. Oh my goodness!
“Sophia! Sophia! Sophia!” Martha calls my name twice and as I look and wave at her, she screams on top of her voice with happiness. I wink at her, and Robert continues to speak. Ben readjusts his tie and stands opposite me, winking every now and then. His lips beam with great smiles as all people here keep hailing us with their hands.
“Sophia Dylan, are you willing to take Ben as your mate?” Robert says, and my heart leaps in both fear and joy. I walk up to the rite can, and I pick up the dagger. I slice my right palm a bit and blood oozes out but in low quantities as usual, so I have to cut my hands deeply to get the required amount. I do that, and return to my original position.
“Ben, are you ready to take Sophia as your mate?” Robert asks him, and with a great speed, he walks over to the rite can and cuts his right palm any how. Blood gushes out and as our blood connects in the can, I feel a sharp sting in the nape of my neck, almost making me choke.
Ben and I both say at a time, “Yes, yes, yes!” The crowd jam their hands together, this is what I have been expecting. To be celebrated well.
Goosebumps creep up my body system as Robert gives Ben the go-ahead to mark me. My eyes catch hold of Maxwell sobbing, but I can do nothing to this, I apologize!
Ben’s fangs stick out of his tongues and two horns shoot out of his head. As the fangs draw nigh me, I fall flat to the ground and he soon joins me and gives me the mark. I groan and scream the hell out of my eyes as the fangs almost choke me to death. I almost slide out of him but he holds me down and gives me another mark. Three different and powerful marks. I’m expecting smoke to rise up after he quits marking me but no I don’t see it, it really hurt me.
“Ben is now mated to Sophia. Sophia has been destined to be mated to a vampire and the vampire appears to Ben. Not Jude. Not Maxwell. Not any other vampire.” Karl announces, picking up the microphone instead. If Maxwell only got bitten and became a vampire, I might have considered him.
Ben helps me up and hugs me tightly. I hear steps approaching and I see that they are my friends, Dylan, Isabella and Greg.
Greg walks up to Karl and greets him.
“Sir, I would like to get mated to Rose as well.” He tells him but Karl shakes his head.
“This day is meant for Sophia only. Again, Rose has been banned not to ever have a mate again since she had that evil intention against who moon goddess chose above others.”
Greg wails in his spirit man, and walks out on Karl. He meets us, and changes his expression.
Ben guides me to a separate room, and there he lays me on a bed. He sleeps beside me, and asks both Dylan and Isabella to leave me alone for now.
“She is okay. She only needs rest.” He tells my friends too and I rub his palms together.
“Ben, do you promise you won’t reject me?” I ask him, muttering and half eyes closed.
“Sure. I won’t, ever.” He replies, and smiles. “My dear mate, Sophia. You’ll shift under the full moon tonight.”
“Really, you’ll help me?” I ask him.
“Sure, why not? I love you more than I love my life.” He kisses my forehead, and adjusts his position.
*******************
It’s dark, and the moon has start to appear but now, it’s a different kind. The moon gives a bright and dim light as Ben takes my hands into his and we both go into the garden. He places his hands on my chest, and tells me, “Be calm. Your mate is right here.”
I nod, and Beau starts to take control.
With a sharp exhaling and inhaling, Beau thrusts out of me and seizes my breath. I yell with my hands on my head as hair sprouts on my skin and my head gets thrown backwards. In few minutes, I shift back into my human form.
Dylan has already helped me shift into my wolf as an underage. So, it didn’t take time to shift now.
“I understand, mate.” Ben says. “Don’t ask, I can now hear your mind. You can hear mine as well, okay?” I hug him tightly, and start to sob.
“Your wolf is now activated. You know I asked you the night you got into my room when you wanted to register in this school, I asked you that would you like to get a vampire mate? I said, “I am 20 and I’m getting mated to a wolf next year” – that just happened.” He says.
“You said, “I’m 17 and I’ll get mated to a wolf next year but that’s not happening now. You have been destined to get mated to a vampire, and that is me.” He cuddles me into a much more tighter hug. I start to sob, as Rose and Greg approaches.
“Ben, congratulations.” Greg says.
“Thank you, Greg.” Ben replies, having detached from the hug. “Thank you, Rose.”
“I’m here to tell you I’m heading to Illinois to think about my life and everything. This stupid girl has been wasting my time, shw has been banned from getting a mate now!” Greg splutters, and Rose starts to sob.
“You don’t have to worry about her…” Greg tells me. “… she’s joining the moon goddess soon.”
“Whatttt…” i stammer, and in the twinkling of an eye, moon goddess picks her up and she vanishes in air.
Rose, gone. An hot tear rolls down my cheek, Greg wipes it off with his right palm and he gives me a big hug. Dylan, mum, and others approach.
I hug them one by one until I am done with hugging them all, Ben does that too, and we start to play music and dance.
“My daughter, congratulations.” Mum adds, and I hug her again.
“Bye… heading to Illinois.” We all wave our hands at Greg as he leaves. Dylan sobs but sees himself as a man.
“Bye….” Karl, and Dylan wave their hands at us. “… going to bring our pack alive again. Take care!”
“Bye…” Jess and Robert say, waving at us. “Going to China to have our holiday.”
“Same here but not China, still here in America, Georgia!” Anna, and Martha say with their mates.
I and Ben both see them off to the park, and they alight. Mum stays here with me, though will start to live a bit far away from here. But within my reach.
Ben hugs me again, and tells me into my ears, “You are the great Luna of the Moon Struck pack. Congratulations.”
Mum salutes me, and we head to Ben’s pack, as I’ve become his Luna and he’s now the Alpha.
Mated To A Vampire.
The End.
