Chapter 33
Jonathon’s/Tobias’ POV
“Jonathon are you ready?” Luna Leanne’s voice calls me out of my thoughts. I take in a breath “Yes.”
I wanted my name change ceremony to be a small affair. I asked Mum, Timothy, Eden, Shaun, Olivia, Gilda and Joseph to share this with me. Alex and Jessica wanted to come for moral support, I asked them not to.
Elder Samuels stands up in front of Leanne and myself; “we are here to witness the blood oath and name change of Jonathon Jared Petersen to Tobias Jaxon Thompson. Are there any objections?” he smiles around the room and continues “you may proceed Leanne.”
“I, Luna Leanne Lorraine Salisbury on behalf of Alpha Laurence Mitchell Salisbury; give permission for Jonathon Jared Petersen via blood oath, under the Goddess Selene to be known forevermore as Tobias Jaxon Thompson”. Elder Samuels cuts Leanne’s hand with the gold and ruby encrusted knife, then cuts my hand. We place our hands together to seal the blood oath.
“Congratulations young man, you are now Tobias Jaxon Thompson.” Elder Samuels says to me, shaking my hand. Olivia smiles and gives me a kiss.
“I suppose I better tell the others” I say to everyone, “No need” Olivia giggles. I narrow my eyes, as she walks to the door and opens it. Alex; wearing a stethoscope in his ears, Jessica, Nathanial, Adrian, Kimberly, Alister, Glenn, Rebecca, Jeremy and Christian all fall in through the doorway; in a large pile of arms and legs.
I shake my head “Come in, you lot” laughing as they all try to get off one another. “Alex you better give the stethoscope back to Doctor Spencer, she’s been yelling at the nurses all morning” Elder Samuels included. “I got mum to put a silence spell on the door when Jess told me they were all going to try and listen in” Olivia injected, smirking.
“Elder Samuels” Alex said, getting to his feet “Can someone apply to be a part of two packs?” “I’m not sure. If you mate into a pack; you normally choose which pack you want to belong to. Let me look into that for you” he replies; pulling a tablet out of his briefcase.
“May I ask what that is all about?” Leanne asked Alex, “No” “Alexander Simon Salisbury…” Elder Samuels interrupts “I’ve found something. There has only been one other known case of a pack member belonging to two packs. It says if they get permission from both Alpha’s and the blood oath is done together for both packs; it is permissible.”
“Now I can tell you” he says to Leanne. Oo, he is going to cop it; Leanne is gonna put him over her knee and spank his ass.
“Timothy, I would like to ask permission for Jeremy to belong to two packs. Yours and ours. If for some reason something happens to your pack; you can get in contact with us for help. And vice versa for our pack; and Alex; can I watch as Luna Leanne puts you over her knee?” I ask them.
“It goes the same for the rest of you, we will ask permission from your leaders, if you can belong to two packs. If, we need to be of aid to someone here for any reason; they can contact us via you and; no Toby” Alex smirks.
“To answer your question, Tobias; I can’t see that being an issue. Let me speak it over with my Betta and Gamma and I will get back to you this afternoon” Timothy says.
Elder Samuels shakes he’s head; “Leanne, are you able to call Debra and Catherine for their name changing?” “Already done, they are on their way” she answers as Debbie, Cathy and Cynthia walks through the doors.
“If everyone can find a seat, or somewhere to stand, we will get the name changing ceremony started.” Ten people flew through the office to fight for a chair; Cynthia grabs Nathanial by the ear, dragging him off his chair for herself to sit down.
Luna Leanne stood at the front of her desk with Olivia, Cathy, Debbie and Jessica; all standing in front of her; looking at Elders Samuels “we can begin.”
“As these are more of a marriage name change; we are able to combine the ceremony. We are here to witness the blood oath and name change of Olivia Desiree Cleary to Olivia Desiree Thompson, Catherine Elaine Bloome to Catherine Elaine Sommerfield, Debra Alison Jackson to Debra Alison Bloome and Jessica Naomi Bloome to Jessica Naomi Salisbury. Are there any objections?” he smiles around the room and continues “you may proceed Leanne.”
“Can Alex, Nathanial, Adrian and Tobias please come over and stand by me.” We all move and stand next to her.
I, Luna Leanne Lorraine Salisbury on behalf of Alpha Laurence Mitchell Salisbury; give permission for Oliva Desiree Cleary via blood oath, under the Goddess Selene to be known forevermore as Olivia Desiree Thompson.” Elder Samuels cuts Leanne’s hand with the knife, then cuts Olivia’s hand. They place their hands together to seal the blood oath. “Through a blood oath, you are mated and will now be married to Tobias Jaxon Thompson,” he cuts my hand and recuts Olivia’s, placing our hands together we seal the blood oath.
Leanne then does the same for Debbie, Cathy and Jessica. Once all 3 were sealed to Nathanial, Adrian and Alex, Leanne announces; “Congratulations; you are all husband and wife” “Can I kiss my bride mum?” Alex asks. Shaking her head “you may kiss your wife.” All four of us kiss our wife and there were cheers from the group behind us.
“How are you all going to celebrate?” Gilda asks us, “I was thinking of taking a picnic over to the falls, if everyone wants to join us” Alex answers. “Tim do you and Eden want to come too?” “Eden, since you can’t shift; you can come with Cherie and myself,” “Why can’t you…. I’m going to be and uncle?” “Tobias you’re a bit slow on the uptake; yes, you are going to be an uncle” she says laughing. “Can I come too Toby?” Shaun asks “Sure the more the merrier.”
“Mum; what time is granddad coming?” Olivia asks Gilda, “he’ll be here around six” “I’ll make sure we are back by then” I tell her as we all head out of the office to prepare for our picnic.
