So hey guys, here's another chapter, and like i promised, it's the ritual. Also I've done more world building, which i think at this point I can say that this will be very AU. Also, I connected it to some real world stuff that I did 10 minutes of research on, and then twisted a little, so just a warning, may not be accurate overall.
Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter.
The teens ended up hanging out and doing homework at Scott's house until his mother leaves for her night shift. As soon as she was out the door, Lydia took command. "Okay guys, we'll need a knife that is sharp enough to easily cut flesh, as well as some space. Do you ever clean your room Scott," Lydia ordered, the last comment making Scott sheepish.
Stiles rushed off towards the kitchen while Scott and Alison cleared enough space for the Ritual. All the while, Lydia sat on Scott's bed and started talking, "Okay, as I did more research and this requires an officiator, or as the book puts it, a priestess. The priestess can't be a werewolf and can never become a werewolf, so basically another type of supernatural being that wishes to be a part of the pack. By being the priestess, it will bring me into the pack, and designate me specifically as the priestess for the pack. From what I have been able to find, most packs have stopped using priestess since around the dark ages where most of the supernatural races went their separate ways and some even had wars."
About halfway through the speech, Alison and Scott stopped working and just stared at Lydia, who finally looked up away from the book with the ritual in it once she had stopped talking. "What!?"
"How the hell did you figure all of that out? I've read through all of those books and didn't find any of that information," Alison said.
"Well, it's all in these books, just spread out and you have to make some connections. This one," Lydia starts off, holding up the book with the ritual in it, "mentions a priestess as an officiator, but doesn't mention any more about it. You move over to the book on pack structure that your ancestor wrote, and he talks about the kelles in the pack, women in the pack who were both warriors and officiators. If you know your history, you know that kelles were the warrior women and priestesses of a shrine to the goddess Brigit at Kildare. Now, as mentioned as one of the other journals you brought back, the priestesses of this said shrine were secretly supernatural being. The kelles were also briefly mentioned as a handwritten not in one of the other books stating that they are never werewolves, but always a key part of the pack," Lydia explained to the group.
Scott and Alison just stared at Lydia for a couple seconds. Stiles walked in on the scene and just smiled, "Remember, she has a genius level intellect."
The group all seemed to compose themselves. "Okay, I need you two to stand opposite each other and then follow my instructions," Lydia instructed the couple.
Once everyone was set up, Lydia started the ceremony, "Here we stand, looking to form a union between Scott McCall, the Alpha of the McCall pack, and Alison Argent, of the Argent family of Hunters." As Lydia spoke the words, a circle of blue light formed around Alison and Scott.
Lydia turned to Scott and said, "Do you, Scott McCall accept Alison Argent as your equal?"
"I do," Scot Replied.
"Do you commit to protecting Alison Argent from any danger the pack might bring upon her?"
"I do."
"Do you promise to forever commit yourself to Alison Argent?"
"I do."
"Cut your palm and let the blood drip," Lydia instructed, handing the knife to Scott. He follows the instruction, and his blood falls to the floor and forms itself into a web like patter within the circle.
Lydia then turned to Alison and said, "Alison Argent, do you reject your past and any family that may be left behind?"
"I do," Alison responded with.
"Do you commit yourself to protecting this past from any source, even if it's from your past?"
"I do."
"Do you commit yourself to Scott McCall fully, and accept all parts of him, even his werewolf form?"
"I do."
"Cut your hand," Lydia instructed Alison, passing her the knife.
Alison followed the instruction and let the blood fall to the ground. Once again, the blood forms into a web like pattern within the circle.
"These two are committee to each other and to the pack at large. We bring them together as the leaders of the pack, as well as welcoming Alison McCall into the McCall family. The Alpha's may kiss," Lydia ended with.
Scott and Alison kissed and the blue light completely encircled them. When the pair finally stopped kissing, the light faded to reveal the pair, each adorned with a new tattoo of a ring around their ring figure that led out into an identical web of lines that led up to their elbow.
When the pair opened their eyes, both of them had the vibrant red eyes of alphas. "What?" Scott asked, seeing Alison's eyes.
"That's normal, the eyes just signify that she's an Alpha, but she is also still human," Lydia responds with.
"So, how does it feel, married at 16?" Stiles asked with a laugh.
"It feels great," Scott replied with.
"I'm happy for you, definitely not my path," Stiles said, patting Scott on the back.
"Okay, so Alison is now protected without having one of us there, so what's next for tonight?" Lydia asked Scott.
"Well, we still have homework to finish, and we need to go to your house and find me some long gloves. I have a feeling I should hide this for the time being," Alison stated, pointing towards her new tattoo.
"Yeah, I have some ideas of things we could do with it. Let's go, you can stay at my place again tonight. My mom is at a conference for the next couple of days. We'll find you a place to stay until then," Lydia replied.
"If you told your mom the truth she would probably let Alison stay," Stiles responded with.
"Really, she would let Alison stay after I just had a supernatural marriage with her," Scott said loudly.
The door opened to reveal his mother, "What's going on Scott?"
Okay, there you go. Next chapter will be the group explaining things to Scott's mom. tell me what you think
