Chapter 95

Brielle's POV

It's been a week of planning and making sure that everything is in place. Everyone has been hands-on deck helping with the preparations of my installment ceremony. It's been a rollercoaster of emotion and sex. A lot of sex. I think I have been using sex and my stress reliever. It's not a bad way. Actually, it's a productive way. Not only is my stress relieved, but it's a work-out.

Ever since Blake let me know about my acceptance ceremony, I have been running like a headless chicken trying to make sure that everything is okay and nothing goes wrong. I know that most of the pack members have accepted me, but this time it's different. I'll be in front of them all as they look at me and scrutinize me under their gaze. It's intimidating. I feel I'll be like a prayer among predators. I even had a terrible nightmare. In that nightmare, everyone turned into werewolves and surrounded me slowly until they pounced on me.

I don't even want to remember that or else I will just puke. I need to get myself together or else this will just become a disaster. Oh, I forgot to mention something else. It's a double ceremony. Morgan is going to be accepted into the pack as well as the Beta female, so this is huge. I suggested that they make it a double ceremony because I want to share this happy day with her. I have grown so close to her. She feels like my sister. Everything has to be perfect.

It was like a wedding. The guys were getting ready together and Morgan, Romi and I were going to get ready together. Morgan and I opted to help each get ready by doing each other's hair and make-up. We were both done and just doing finishing touches before we left. Romi was ready as well, looking like a little princess.

I got my hair tied into a French braid and put flowers on my braid. Then I wore a simple white strap dress and black heels. Morgan let her down and wore a short-sleeved white dress with strappy sandals.

We took one more look in the mirror to check. We smiled with satisfaction.

" So, this is it," she said while standing behind me as we both stared at the mirror.

It's a beautiful time in our lives. What more could we want from life?

" Thank you for coming into our lives. I needed a friend like you who became the sister I never had. I'm so happy to have you by my side. I wouldn't be able to stand here without you," I told her sincerely.

" What about me? What can I say? I have no words to express how I feel. You welcomed me into this family with open arms despite knowing my history. I have never had a family. I grew up in a cold environment with no love. I once believed that I would experience a life like this and that my fate was unfortunate. I was so wrong. Those hardships I experienced led me to life. Every one of you showed me love and what if meant to be a family. I will never take it for granted. I'm so grateful. That you see me as a friend and sister because I do too. And before it's time to leave, I wanted to ask you something. "

I turned to her and we held hands. What she said brought tears to my eyes. It would have been so great had all of us been here. Too bad Mia and I didn't get to build a relationship before everything happened. It would have been nice had we been given a chance.

" You can ask me anything. Go ahead."

" Well, this is actually belated but Kyle and I have been talking about making you and Alpha Romina's godparents if you would like to be," she said shyly.

A big smile appeared on my face accompanied by tears. I shook my head, yes.

" Of course. Yes. I would love to be Romi's godmother. I'm sure Blake will be as honored and excited to be her godfather."

I was so emotional, I pulled her in for a hug. I gently wiped the tears that were about to spill. I just wanted to cry my heart out, but that would just ruin my makeup, so I tried my best to hold back. Godparents? That is so huge.

" Thank you,"I said, hugging her tightly.

The moment was interrupted by a knock on the door.

" Girl? Are you ready? It's time for you both to go downstairs."

It was Blake's mother, on the other hand. She was a darling. Have I ever said that she is the sweetest woman I have ever met? Out of us all, she was the most enthusiastic one at tonight's ceremony. She oversaw most of the preparations and handled the guest list. God knows that would be too much for me. So having her around is very helpful.

" Alright mother. Give us a minute and we will be there."

I went over to the window to take a peek. The backyard was crawling with guests and pack members who were present at the moment. Okay, it's done now.

" Okay. Let's go out there Morgan. It's time."

Finally, this time in my life had come. I am getting to live the life I wanted. But thinking about the past is the last thing I want. I should only be thinking about the present and the future. I know it's not as simple as that. I'll have to revisit the past and finally bury it, but now is not the time. Tonight, I just want to be happy.

Morgan picked up a drowsy Romi and we left the room. I closed the door and we headed downstairs. I have been waiting such a long time for this. My wait is over.
