“Kelly, can we be done? I need to peel” I said.
“Fine, go pee, but we’re not done!” she said, and one of the girls working on my hair let me up. Kelly had decided she wanted my hair straightened for this and two of the hairstylists had been tackling a side of my hair each. We were about an hour in and they still needed to do about a third of my hair. Naturally curly, my hair reached my butt, but the hair they had managed to straighten went past my knees. Kelly had opted for doing her own makeup in order to get her stylist to help with Maya’s hair. My makeup was being done by a third, who
would then do Kelly’s hair. Kelly had said she didn’t matter as she wasn’t in the ceremony, but I had a gut feeling she’d find her mate.
tonight and I insisted she get it done too.
Thirty minutes later, I was finally deemed ready for the ceremony and the girls were working on Kelly. I went into the walk-in closet and slipped on the dress. When I came out, I finally grabbed the letter from the dresser and sat down on the bed to read.
Celeste, my little piece of sky,
The day you were born, I had a vision. This isn’t normally my power, but I believe Selene allowed me to tap into yours. I saw your Luna Ceremony. I saw the beautiful, strong Luna you will become. I am so proud of you, my daughter. As / watch you grow, I see glimmers of the woman you are.
I also saw that your father and I were not at the ceremony. Only one thing could have kept us away. I am sorry that you will lose us. /
hope you know we would have done anything to have been there. Stay safe, trust your mate. He looks like a good man. I know the future
ahead is going to have some rough moments, but you can overcome anything. Find your allies. I know you can put an end to what has
plagued our bloodline for so many generations. I hope this day is everything you hope for. Know that your father and lare and always will
be proud to be your parents. You can always find us in the wind and in your heart. Give them hell little one.
Mom.
“Celeste? What’s wrong?” Maya asked. I blinked several times, making sure I didn’t cry and my eyes stopped glowing. Maya and Kelly
were looking at me concerned.
“Nothing is wrong. Just reading a letter my mother left me with the dress,” I said. I felt Markus pull on the mind link. Iam fine love.
Just emotional today,’ I told him.
“Do you need a moment? We only have a few minutes. I can ask mom to wait,” Kelly asked, and I shook my head. I put the letter on
my nightstand and put my nude wedges on.
“I don’t need to wait to become Markus’ Luna,” I said, Maya smiled and hugged me.
‘I’m going crazy waiting to see you Tuli, Markus’ voice filled my head.
Just a little while longer,’ I said.
“Luna, Maya, It’s time. Mom’s ready for us.” Kelly said.
Maya wrung her hands nervously. I put my arm around her shoulders. “Danny’s jaw will drop when he sees you,” I said.
She looked beautiful. They had gathered her hair upwards with a delicate band around the crown of her head, her bangs flowing
down the side of her face. I had opted to let her borrow the amber jewelry I had picked up from the deposit box. It just looked right with
her dress. Her makeup was a smoky yellow and orange ombre with nude lips.
Kelly’s hair was elegantly swept to the side. She had applied metallic green with black eyeshadow that almost looked like a masterful shimmery oil spill. Her bright red lips.and dress made her look like she was headed to a red carpet event.
I had a gold and black ombre eyeshadow and maroon lips. It complimented my tanned skin and dress. When the light hit me just
right, I looked like I was on fire.
We headed down to the first floor where Mrs Quinn was waiting for us. She smiled and teared up when she saw us.
of words and then she got right down to business. “We have about two hours before the sun sets and the moon begins to peak. We have a
wall temporarily set up on the right side so you can take your place behind the stage area. We don’t want anyone seeing you before the Ceremony. Maya and Danny will be called up first. Luna, you will be allowed to watch from the side of the stage, Markus will be on the
other side of it so he can’t peek.”
“Is it really necessary to be separated that long? Why can’t we just watch together?” I asked. I hated being away from Markus for so
