All Chapters of Only a Half Blood: Chapter 41 - Chapter 47

Alys took almost an hour to figure out what she wanted to wear. She didn’t want to give the wrong impression. She finally decided on a simple white blouse, black pants, flats, no jewellery except her necklace and ring from Aiden and her hair in a simple ponytail. She was so nervous she didn’t think she would be able to eat anything, she didn't feel ready to face the pack for breakfast. “You have no reason to hide, they will respect you no matter what your decision, love. It will be ok.” Aiden told her as he finished putting on his usual button up and dress pants. “I am not even officially the luna yet. I don’t want want to start out wrong.” Alys worried for the hundredth time. Aiden just smiled softly at her and pulled her into a hug. “Again, it’s going to be ok. You will have me and my parents there with you. They will see us as a complete unit, it’s not you alone.” He reassured her again and kissed her on her nose. “Now lets go get you some food, because if your stomach growls in

Alys was having a great time at the spa. When they arrived they found out that Aiden had booked the entire building just for them. First they went in to a steam room to relax and then hot showers, followed by soothing full body massages, a sushi lunch catered by her favourite restaurant, and finally finished with full manicures and pedicures. The ladies all spent the day laughing and chatting. It was nice to be able to just relax. Alys had started worrying again about her upcoming shift which would happen after the ceremony, when the moon was at its highest. Tonight it would be about 11:30pm when it reached its peak, and being May, the weather was supposed to be perfect. Two other pups were getting their wolves tonight as well as they celebrated their 18th birthdays that month. It was tradition for the shifting wolves to go to the edge of the forest for their first shift. Following the shift, which apparently only took around 15 minutes the first time, the pack would join together for

The morning and afternoon flew by as they spent most of it greeting the arriving Alpha’s and making sure they found their rooms to get changed and settled before the festivities in the evening. Before she knew it Alys was in Sara’s suite along with Clary and Lilly getting ready together for the ceremony. Clary was dressed in a floor length midnight blue sheath gown with quarter length lace sleeves and a v-neckline. She did her hair in a simple French twist, she looked amazing. Lilly was in a very expensive cream pant suit, but the top went down to the floor and swept back revealing the soft flowing pants underneath. It was simple yet elegant. Sara was dazzling in her red satin gown and her hair was curled and flowing freely, with a sexy smoky eye and matching red lipstick. Sara had just put the finishing touches to Alys’s hair which was pulled into a side braid on one side with the other side curled and cascading over her shoulder, Alys had already done her make up with a soft natural

David and Clary stayed for another week after the ceremony. Being that they were True Mates, chosen for each other by the goddess, David was able to mark Clary tying their souls together. She would take on his longevity. She would never have a wolf but she would at least live as long as he does. Alys remembered reading that in the book she had gotten from Killian, Dr.Clarke asked to borrow it. It was hard for Alys to say goodbye to her mom. They had never been very far from each other. They promised to set up regular times to video chat every week. They drove with them to the airport and Alys stood waving for as long as she could. “Come on love, lets go home.” Aiden wrapped her in his arms and spun her around making her squeal. “Can we stop to get something to eat? I am starving and I could definitely eat a big delicious hamburger right now.” Alys’s stomach grumbled as she climbed into the car and Aiden chuckled. “I guess we better feed you since even your stomach is growling at me.
