:Chapter 23:

:Dalton:
I tightened the tie in the mirror. "Kadan I am so not ready." I said. Kadan looked at me. "Embrace it Dalton, your gonna be the Alpha, everyone listens to you." Kadan said.


I looked in the mirror and smiled at myself. "Is Isabella being announced Luna?" Rory asked. "Not yet, I haven't even gotten close enough with her." I said. "When I found out Alana was my mate, I grabbed her and marked her instantly." Kadan said. "I remember Alana resenting you for 3 months." I said looking at Kadan.


"I don't think Isabella would survive being named Luna." Nico said. "Why?" I asked. "She's human being named the only person in a pack that equals with the Alpha in front of our huge pack." Nico started. "She barely ate in front of us without freaking out." Nico said.


Noah nodded. "She'll be a shy Luna." Max said. "Alana can help her break through her shell." Kadan suggested. "Are Luna's required?" I asked sheepishly. Rory facepalmed. "Yes they are required." Nico said. "Looks l like I'm ruling with Mom." I said.


"Mom and Dad know you have a mate." Noah said. I sighed. This is gonna be a lot harder than I thought. "Our boys are so grown up." A male voice said. I looked over at my Dad and Mom.


Dad was in a tuxedo just like the rest of us. Mom was in a white dress. The sleeves were made of lace. She had on white pumps. Her white hair was in a waterfall braid with a white rose in front.


Rory grinned. "Where's Isabella?" My Mom asked. "Not here." I said. My Mom tilted her head in confusion. "We haven't really gotten to know each other, she's human, and I haven't even marked her." I said.


"Plus she doesn't like crowds." I said frustrated. "Isabella will probably faint." Nico said. "Ok, relax, just say she's not being given the position yet." Dad said.


I nodded running a hand through my hair. "Orchid's here." Andrew murmured. Great the wicked witch of the west except Orchid is pretty. Not to mention she's Andrew's mate.


"Yay." I said sarcastically. "Orchid Panther?" My Mom asked shocked. "Yeah." I said. "After this I need to talk to her, she knows who Satan's Assassin is." Mom said. Guess I should of insisted.


My Dad pulled out an ring. He extended it to me. I grabbed it. The metal was iron. There was obsedian in the middle. Carved in the middle was a wolf and the initials BCM. "Kevin Ashford, the creator of this pack made it, it's enchanted." My Dad said. "The future Alpha gets it before the ceremony." Dad said.


I smiled at my Dad. Slipping on the ring I flexed my hand. "Thanks Dad." I said. My Dad smiled at me. "Your gonna make a great Alpha." My Dad said. My cheeks turned red. "Thanks." I said. "What if Isabella doesn't want to be the Luna?" I asked. My parents looked at each other.


"You'll have to find someone else." Dad said. Ash was pissed now. He was trying to get out to kill. My eyes flashed gold. "I'm not mating myself to some other she-wolf whore." I growled out. "Alana would probably take the role if you can't." My Mom said. I relaxed after that. "The King and Queen won't be to happy, but they can't control Originals." Mom said.


'I'll tear them apart they try to give me another mate.'


My Dad smiled. "Time to lose my position as Alpha and give it to you." Dad joked. I lightly punched his shoulder. "I'll be the best Alpha they've seen." I said. Then we were off to be crowned.
*********
"We're from the Organization here to monitor the ceremony." I said to the security guard. Derik swallowed as the huge guard looked down at us. He was so huge he made giants look bad.


Derik had a double barrel shotgun in his hand. A machete was straped to his back. A .22 was at his side for emergency use. He had a strap of ammo. Then there was daggers.


I had a crossbow in my hand. My pistols were in my thigh holsters. I had silver hand guns with holy bullets in them in my knee holsters. I had a Samurai sword strapped to my back. In my boot was a dagger with symbols carved in. I had a bracelet on that turned into a whip too. I had ammo for all my guns strapped around my chest.


"Tattoos." Mr. Tall guard said. Thats what I decided to call him. We handed him the weapons in our hands. I pulled down my dress a little. The tattoo appeared. Derik rolled the shirt up to his shoulder. His tattoo appeared to.


Mr. Tall Guard gave us our weapons back and motioned us in. We practically ran in. "Glad he didn't question the sunglasses." I said.


Werewolves were staring at us as we walked by. Kayla came into view. I know she's a slut but I hope she finds her mate. She's very pretty and deserves a good man or woman. Our eyes met for a moment. I saw something I've never seen before. Hurt was in her eyes. So was abandonment.


I shook my head and continued walking. We were the first ones into the messhall. Orchid ran up behind me. "Wait up." Orchid said running towards us. We stopped and waited for her to catch up.


I took in her appearance. Orchid had on an almost knee length black dress with white cats on it. She had on cat garders. Orchid also had ankle length wedged black and white boots. Her bright red hair was down but had some pieces braided.


"We have to go check in with the Ashford's." Orchid said. I nodded. We all started walking towards a door. I knocked on the side door. Someone then opened the door for me. I looked at the person and tried not to scream. Dalton stood there in a tux.


"Who are you?" Dalton demanded his eyes flashing gold. Orchid pushed her way through. "There from The Hunter Organization, they were given orders to watch to make sure nothing goes wrong." Orchid said.


Dalton nodded then let us in. "Names?" Dalton asked. "Code names." Orchid said. "The Knife." Derik said. This is important, he was gonna find out one day. "Satan's Assassin." I said.


Dalton stiffened at what we both said. We were the two strongest hunters after all. "Do you think you guys could remove the sunglasses?" Dalton asked. "We want to keep our identity hidden." Derik said.


Dalton nodded. Walking to a door he opened it and motioned us in. I looked at the people in the room and silently cursed. Everyone I knew was in here, right down to Andrew. "Mom, Dad, the hunters are here." Dalton said.


I looked in the corner and resisted the urge to kill someone. Satan sat their casually. I knew no one could see him.


Alana looked at me. She was in a skin tight red sparkly dress. She had on red pumps. There was a ring on her hand now. Her hair was braided. It was long and pretty. The strawberry blonde was really pretty.


Daniella stood up and walked over to us. "Thank you for coming." Daniella said smiling. I simply nodded. "If anyone tries to attack, shoot." Daniella said. "So technically the shoot first then ask questions." I said. Daniella nodded.


Derik looked at me. "Were do you want us to stay?" Derik asked. "Near the walls in the shadows." Jackson said standing up. I nodded. Andrew looked at Orchid.


"We'll make sure nothing gets them." Derik said. Dalton looked at us. I shivered slightly under his gaze. I have to go with him to a Halloween dance.


"Well lets get this show on the road." Rory said. I waited for Dalton to walk by me. Then I walked behind him. My eyes were trained on his back. I was watching the way his muscles flexed in his back. He was not some little boy. Suddenly I walked right into him. Electricity shot up and down my body.


Dalton looked at me shocked. "Your a hunter." He whispered. Shit, I blew my cover. His gaze went to Derik who was walking beside Rory. "And so is Derik." Dalton whispered. "I'm sorry." I whispered. "Just don't let anything kill me." Dalton said. I nodded.


Werewolves we're filing into the mess hall now. Me and Derik went to the wall. "Dalton knows." I said putting bullets in my crossbow. "Damn it." Derik muttered. Derik put some bullets in the chamber.


"Well let's see how a werewolf ceremony is done." Derik said pushing his hair out of his face. I nodded. Our gazes snapped to the stage were the werewolves stood.


Satan appeared right next to me. "This is gonna be fun." Satan said with a creepy grin. Must not look mental.


A guy walked out. There was a bowl of water set in front of him and a knife. "There supporting self-harm." I whispered. Derik jammed the shotgun into my side. I clutched my side in pain. "Jackass." I whispered. Derik simply smirked at me.


The guy on stage turned around. "We have gathered here today for our future leaders." The guy began, waving at Dalton and the rest. "They are here to swear their loyalty to us and drop blood in here." The guy said.


Dalton looked really nervous. "This is like a cult." I whispered. Orchid and Derik laughed. A few werewolves glared at us shutting us up. "The first who will do it is Rory Ashford, the future gamma, fourth in command." The priest, that's what we think he is, said.


Rory looked at the knife. Picking it up he cut open the palm of his hand. He held his wounded hand over the bowl and let the blood mix in with the water. "I will help rule the pack with mercy." Rory said. Then his wound started healing.


The priest smiled at Rory. This was just to serious. I was gonna embarrass myself and start laughing.


The priest turned around. He pointed at Rory and began to speak. "Welcome your new Gamma." Claps echoed through the messhall. We all looked at each other. "What do we do?" Orchid asked in a whisper. "Clap." Derik whispered. Being the idiots we were, we clapped. Rory gave a sheepish grin.


"Rory Ashford have you meet your mate yet, the person who will equal you?" The priest asked. "Not yet sir." Rory said. The preist nodded and moved on.


He walked over to Nico. Nico's face was extremely pale. For a moment there I thought he was gonna hurl on the priest.


The knife was then handed over to Nico's shaking hand. Come on Nico, you can do it. Nico brought the knife across the palm of his hand creating a cut. He raised his palm over the bowl and let the blood drip into the bowl.


"I will h-help rule the pack with mercy." Nico said with a slight stutter. "Welcome your new Delta, Nico Ashford." The priest said. He smiled at Nico. Nico's cheeks were pink.


"Clap." The priest said. Claps erupted through the mess hall. I clapped, a grin on my face. "Do you have a mate yet?" The priest asked. "Not yet sir." Nico said pushing his hair back. The priest nodded and walked over to Kadan.


The knife was handed over to Kadan. Kadan breathed in. He brought the knife up to his hand and created a cut in his hand. Kadan leaned his hand over the bowl and let his blood drip in.


"I will help rule the pack with mercy." Kadan said. I smiled slightly. "Welcome your new Beta Kadan Kirkwood." The priest said. The priest smiled at Kadan.


"Clap." The priest said. Even more claps erupted through the mess hall. Guess Kadan was pretty popular. We all clapped for Kadan to. "Do you have a mate rule with you?" The priest asked. "Yes sir." The priest said. "Call her up here." The priest said. "Alana." Kadan called out.


I watched as Alana walked away from Andrew and walk over to Kadan. "How has she not died, so many people are staring at her?" I asked in a whisper. "You didn't die when you joined The Hunter Organization." Derik said. Orchid nodded at that.


The knife was then handed to Alana.  I think Kadan was trying to kill the knife with his glare. Alana dragged the knife across the palm of her hand. Then let it drip in the bowl. "I will help rule the pack with mercy." Alana said. "Your second to Luna." The priest said.


"Clap." The priest said. I think I went deaf after that clapping. There were even a few whistles. Kayla seemed very happy. I looked between them. They looked similar. Might be related.


I shoved my crossbow into Derik's chest. "Hold this, I can't look like this any longer." I said. I gripped my dress and tugged it off. I threw the shoes off next. I unbraided my hair, which made it have a slight wavy look. I looked at the bag we brought and opened it getting my vans out.


"I can't believe you wore your hunting clothes under the dress." Derik said. "You did." I said pointing at his pants which were actually skinny jeans. "Nice ass, by the way." I said. Derik turned bright red. "Just get our leather jackets." Derik whispered. I smirked at Derik, who looked away.


I grabbed our leather jackets, then zipped the bag up. I handed Derik his jacket as I put mine on. Derik handed me my crossbow. We looked back at the stage.


The priest walked over to Dalton and handed him the knife. "I would die if I was Dalton." I said. That earned me another hit from the shotgun. Orchid laughed earning her a hit to. Dalton slit open the palm of his hand and let the blood drip into the bowl.


"I will rule the pack with mercy." Dalton said. Dalton put the knife down. The priest smiled at Dalton. "Welcome your new Alpha, Dalton Ashford." The priest said. "Clap." The priest said finishing. The mess hall went wild. We all screamed in surprise. "I am officially deaf." I said. "Do you have a mate?" The priest asked. "Yes but she's not gonna take the title, yet." Dalton said.


'Somethings here and its not suppose to be.' I froze at that. The air was different now. "Satan, somethings here, not invited." I said. "I'll go check it out, get in position." Orchid ordered. Orchid then grabbed her wand and ran out. "Lets go." Derik ordered.


I started jumping across chairs. Derik was in a row right beside me. We landed in the walkway and stood beside her. I aimed my crossbow at the door looking through it. Derik aimed his shotgun. The mess hall got quiet when we aimed.


People started whispering. "Somethings here." "There hunters." "Are we gonna die." Daniella walked forward. "People please calm down, they are trained hunters, the best of the best." Daniella said. Right then the door burst open. Orchid ran through fear on her face. She aimed her wand at the door closing it.


"There everywhere, there's so many." Orchid said. "Shoot every single one down, don't let them touch the leaders." Derik said. Orchid nodded.  "Come on you mutts." I whispered. Suddenly something slammed against the door.


Everyone went into panic mode. They started running behind us. Derik motioned for them to run. "Be calm in these situations." Orchid said holding her wand. "Like a gentle river." I said. Orchid nodded. "No big extreme spells, unless needed." I said. Orchid nodded.


Derik smirked. "Lets blow up some rogues." I said. "Agreed Satan's Assassin." Derik said. "Knife." I said. Right then something slammed against the door. The door broke down and rogues burst in. Their teeth bared and ready to kill.


I finished. This was a long chapter. I just went with it when I did a ceremony. Don't know how ceremonies are done.
