Chapter 11

Luke circled Sophia, not yet stepping into the moonlight. He watched her stare into the heavens above and knew that, this was his mate. No other woman would ever give him such strength and pleasure. When he heard her whimper, he knew he couldn't wait any longer.

Luke stepped into the circle behind Sophia; he slowly lowered his head to her neck and placed soft kisses along her neck to her jaw. He slowly turned her around to face him, that's when Sophia noticed the gleam of a knife in his hand.

Luke looked deep into her eyes, 'I love you'

'I love you too'

Sophia didn't know how she knew, but she knew the Ritual of Gebo must start with blood. Sophia held her right hand out in front of her with her palm facing up. Luke took the knife and cut her hand marking her with an X, the Rune symbol for Gebo. Luke then handed the knife to Sophia and held out his right hand. Sophia took the blade and cut Luke's palm with the X. They looked into each other's eyes as a mist began to swirl around them. Luke and Sophia put their right hands together mixing their blood.

Luke and Sophia each recited the bonding ceremony vows.

"Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after you, For where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people. And where you die, I will die and there I will be buried. Berkana, Laguz, Ehwaz, Dagaz."

Luke gently trailed kisses across Sophia's shoulder up her neck to her mouth and kissed her with a growing passion. Luke gently brought Sophia down to the grass beneath, laying her on her back onto the soft grass. He continued his kisses as he lay between her legs, his hard manhood pressing against her wet sex.

Sophia was on fire, she knew nothing in the world could stop her from making love to Luke, her other half/her mate. She needed for him to be inside of her like she needed her next breath. Luke gently nudged Sophia's legs wider apart. He pulled away from Sophia's mouth and said, "I love you"

"I love you too." when Sophia said this Luke pushed himself deep inside of her breaking through her barrier. Sophia had expected to feel pain but was pleasantly surprised when she didn't feel any, she only felt complete. Luke held himself still as Sophia's body adjusted to having him inside her. When he felt her body move slightly underneath him he knew that she was ready to take all of him at the fast pace he wanted so he could truly bind them to each other. Sophia wrapped her legs around Luke's waist bringing him even deeper inside her body. Luke picked up the pace when he felt Sophia's inner muscles clench his manhood. She was hurtling towards the edge and he wanted to make sure that they both felt the ecstasy together as one. With his mind linked to Sophia's he started driving into her furiously, touching her in ways that gave her the most ecstasy.

Sophia felt like she was coming apart. She could feel that Luke's climax was approaching too. Luke pulled almost all the way out of Sophia. Then when just his tip was inside her he pushed all the way back in with an amazing display of strength pushing them both over the glittering edge. Sophia's body burst with pleasure as she and Luke climaxed together, crying out to the heavens. It was an amazing feeling; her orgasm seemed unending. With her mind linked to Luke's she felt his intense pleasure, and his joy of them finally being one. Once her orgasm finally ended and the pleasure receded, a fire ripped through her body tearing it apart causing her body to coil up in pain.

Sophia was starting the change; Luke instantly pulled away from his beloved and used their connection to send her his strength. Luke watched as she briefly succumbed to the pain before she transformed into a beautiful gray wolf. She was gorgeous. Sophia was breathing heavily, and very worn out from the evening's events. Luke ran his fingers through her luxuriously thick fur until Sophia changed back to human form. Luke leaned forward and kissed Sophia passionately on the lips.

To finish the binding the two teens had to seal it. Luke and Sophia leaned forward, Luke pressing a soft kiss to Sophia's right shoulder as she did the same to him. Together their teeth elongated and they each bit into the other until they drew blood. After they sealed the binding with the bite they each laved at the others mark until the blood stopped flowing. Luke kissed Sophia one more time and then told her to rest. They would talk in the morning. Sophia fell asleep almost immediately and even in sleep her body was seeking its mate. Luke wrapped her in his arms.

Luke noticed that in wolf form Sophia's chest had an odd white marking on it. It looked like half of an X ( ). Luke somehow knew that his own wolf form would bear the same mark only opposite ( ). This was half of the Gebo rune, so that when Luke was standing with Sophia to his right, the white markings on their chests would finish the rune . It confirms that they are two halves of one whole. It is a reaction to the Ritual of Gebo; it is physical proof of their union for all pack members to see. As are the bite marks on their shoulders. The marks will heal better than it would with any humans, but there will always remain a faded scar.

Luke slowly drifted off to sleep holding Sophia close to his body.

The two teens slept surrounded by a sea of stars under the moonlight wrapped in their love.

The next morning Luke was awakened by a beautiful woman straddling his body. She was holding his hard length in her hand about to sheathe it within her own body. Luke thrust upwards and buried his length deep inside Sophia, running his hands up her body to cup her breasts, using his thumbs to rub her nipples. Sophia was insatiable. Her head was thrown back in pleasure as she rode Luke. Luke continued thrusting into Sophia at a grueling pace until they both achieved pleasure. After they came down from another amazing orgasm, Luke wrapped his arms around Sophia as she rested her head on his chest. Luke was still buried deep inside Sophia as they lay on the grass watching the sky turn from dark to light.

Sophia rose from her position on Luke's chest and sat up, taking him deeper inside.

"What's the matter baby" Luke asked sitting up with her, pressing a kiss to her shoulder.

"We didn't use protection, what if I'm pregnant?" Sophia asked worriedly.

"Your not pregnant."

"How can you know?"

"That's not how skinwalkers have children. You have to be in oestrus…"

"But I am, you said I was in heat!" Sophia cut in.

"I know you are, your body went into oestrus to help you make the change, but you will only be in it for one to two days instead of the normal five to seven."

"Why"

"That's just the way it is the first time, most of your hormones were used to help you through the change. You're also not having the desire to mate like you would in a normal heat."

"So I can get pregnant"

"No, baby because even though you are in oestrus, we did not mate in wolf form."

"You mean to have a baby, we have to be in wolf form."

Well… I have to be in wolf form."

"Oh…OOH!….ewww" Sophia commented, thinking of her mom and dad.

Luke chuckled reading her thoughts. It's okay, baby

"Wait, you said my desire is not like a normal heat, what do you mean?"

"Well baby, when you have a normal heat, your body is telling you to mate as often as possible, so your sex drive is really high, even higher than right now."

Sophia dipped her head smiling.

"Don't worry baby, I won't leave your side or our bed the entire time, you will never be without." Luke smirked before kissing her deeply.

Sophia felt Luke get hard again while still inside, it was a new sensation and she loved it. Then it was her turn to smirk, "apparently not!"

Both teens smiled at the feeling of completeness when they are joined in this way.

Back at the Cates Home

"The Ritual of Gebo" Matt sighed, dropping his head into his hands.

"You knew they were connected Matt, anyone could have seen that." Vivian replied.

"I just didn't realize how connected" Matt replied.

"We haven't had anyone perform the Ritual in over a hundred years." Sherman explained.

"I had thought another couple would fulfill this destiny, but he chose a human mate instead."

"Are you saying that Matt and I would have…" Vivian couldn't finish the sentence.

"Maybe, but I doubt it. It is so powerful within Luke and Sophia. They were destined." Sherman replied.

"What if she can't make the change Sherman, what if my baby girl dies out there?" Matt yelled.

"She won't Matt, don't you understand, they are both stronger. Luke will lend her his strength to make the change. Her body is ready. She WILL survive." Sherman replied.

Matt just sat there with his head in his hands, defeated.

"Luke and Sophia are true mates Matt. They were written about in the account of the clan. It was said that 'two shall become one and bring end to turmoil, their power will not be rivaled and no love be truer.' I saw it in Luke, as he became stronger when Sophia was with him. Sophia knew it when her body cried for him. When they have performed the ceremony they will be one, and no one will be able to separate them, not even death. Do you remember the consequence of performing the Gebo Matt?"

Vivian turned, "What do you mean? What are the consequences?"

"Luke is becoming powerful so that he can take over leadership of the pack. He will need to protect himself and his mate. Sophia's strength will not be rivaled by any female and by some males. They need to be able to protect themselves and each other. They will now be able to know each other's thought and feelings. They will be a force to be reckoned. They will have abilities that we have yet to discover. It's all really exciting, isn't it." Sherman smiled.

"Your not telling us the whole story Sherman." Vivian said.

"If one dies, the other will follow. They now share a bond that can never be broken, not even in death."

"You all have seen Luke's strength, it is nothing to how powerful he will be once the Gebo is completed. He will gain his full strength when he and Sophia mate. They are true mates, destined to be, they will be more powerful than any alpha couple we have had in centuries."

"We must not speak of this to anyone, they will be targeted if anyone finds out." replied Vivian.

"We can't hide it for long Vivian, the pack is already starting to see Luke's power. There will be no mistaking the aura of power between the two of them when they return. Both of them will begin to exert their roles as Alphas soon enough. There will also be physical proof of the ceremony." Said Sherman.

"What physical proof?"

"Their right shoulders will have the faded scars of the marking, and in wolf form their chests will each have a white marking that when standing together will finish the Gebo rune X. And let's not forget to mention the fact that they won't be able to be away from each other or keep their hands off each other for too long."

Matt stood up angrily, "No!"

"The ritual has been started Matt, it can't be stopped. You know as well as anybody else, how high your sex drive is when you find your mate."

"What are we going to do?" asked Vivian.

"I think it would be best if we waited to talk to them before we make any rash decisions." when Sherman said this Matt turned to face him. "Once the ritual is done and they've tired themselves out I'm sure they will come back." Sherman laughed.

"What I don't understand is why they had to hurry, why did they have to perform the ceremony tonight?" asked Vivian.

"Sophia was starting the change, she was starting oestrus. If Luke had not taken her to perform the ritual, there would have been bloodshed. Sophia's power would have attracted most of the unattached males in the vicinity. Luke would have had to fight for his life to keep her."

"But wolves can catch a scent from miles away, how do we know her scent hasn't called the males already?"

"The ritual site, it is surrounded by Eihwaz flowers. It will hide their scents until they leave the clearing, they will be safe there. Once they are bound no other wolf may come between them. They will still be attracted to her scent and power but they will also smell Luke and the magic from the ritual. None would forfeit their life to break that bond."

The adults continued discussing the future of their children and their pack well into the next morning.

A/N: Just want to cite some stuff: The vows spoken were taken from The Book of Ruth in the Bible. It is a common wedding vow. I did exclude some lines.

These are all Norse Runes from which the R on Ruby's necklace was based. You can look them up on the internet to find them. Here are the definitions for the ones I used in this chapter. They can have different meanings, so I'm only putting the meanings I used them for.

Gebo - relationship, love, marriage, partnership To find or strengthen a relationship.

Berkana - new beginnings, growth, conception, plenty Making a fresh start.

Laguz - enhancing psychic abilities. You need those psychic abilities between mates right!

Ehwaz - energy, power, communication Aiding in communication. Like the communication between two mates, telepathically, maybe.

Oagaz - happiness, success, satisfaction To bring a positive outcome.

Eihwaz - (this was the flower's name) change, initiation, confrontation of fears, turning point, transformation To bring about profound change, to ease a life transition. Hmmm. Maybe a flip? That's a change isn't it?
