Chapter 95 Triple celebration

• All the dawners gathered in the open packhouse courtyard that was decorated and lined with chairs on the night of the full moon. They were gathering for a double celebration tonight; the beta’s joining ceremony and the appointment of the new Dawn Gamma, Kiron Jivani. The air was filled with excitement, most coming from friends of the bride and groom as they all took their seats and waited patiently for the about-to-be-joined couple to arrive.
• Soon after everyone was gathered, the doors swung open and the alpha of the dawn pack entered, holding his mate’s hand in his, everyone stood to acknowledge his presence and as Ava marched forward holding Lucas’s hand, wearing a bright red dress, she could feel all the stares pinned on her but this time it was different, she didn’t feel any form of embarrassment or shyness like she did at the peace ball, instead it felt like she was home, like she was in the midst of her family, just like it was with the moonlighters, maybe it’s because they were all familiar faces, these people she’d stayed with and had grown to love. They walked forward to take their seats at the front of the congregation, alpha Lucas was later directed to sit in the place where he usually sits whenever the dawners were gathered, the mighty throne of the alpha, right in the middle of that of the beta and gamma but he refused, saying he wants to sit with Ava.
• The bride and groom entered next, and everyone stood up once more, including Alpha Lucas and his mate, Kiara was dressed in the most sparkling white gown laced with beautiful designs that Ava picked out from the garden, her hair was tucked in a neat bun and her made-up face was covered with a light veil. Smiles and cries were shared amongst the audience as they watched the couple march in and take their seats beside where the alpha and his mate stood.
