Clarke's POV

True to her words when we returned to Floukru territory Luna started organising our bonding ceremony. Our guards raced on a head of us to make sure the main village on the shoreline our home away from the oil rig would be ready for us that night. To say that I am excited would be an understatement and having some of my best friends and my mom just makes this better. When we went to depart from Ton DC with Lexa and Indra being needed elsewhere Skikru stated that they didn't need to go back straight away and didn't want to miss my wedding. During our journey back to the sea Octavia was describing her own bonding ceremony with a brightness and light in her eyes which I had never seen before. I am disappointed and upset that I missed an important and probably the happiest moment of one of my best friends' life but I am glad she is here for mine. Lincoln was doing the same with Luna expressing his honour at being able to watch her bonding ceremony which was a cute moment between them. I'm also pretty sure i heard Raven and Bellamy teamed up and gave Luna the shovel talk but the three won't admit to it much to my amusement. When I wasn't catching up with them, I was talking to Ontari and trying to get her used to the customs of Floukru. I remember when I first told her she was now a member of our clan and free to live her life away from the pressures of being a night blood she was so thrilled and immediately launched herself at me repeating thanks. I hugged her back and thanked her for helping to save my life. We also decided that she would become my second which again excited her even more. It was nice to see her so carefree and relaxed.

But now me Raven Octavia my mom and Rora were in my house I share with Luna getting ready for the bonding ceremony that is going to take place in a few moments. Rora is helping me with my makeup while Raven and Octavia do my hair with my mom sitting in the background looking proud and tearful. We decided that our bonding would only be small but the party afterwards would be much bigger to the excitement of our village. "Nervous." Rora asks me while applying the finishing touches to my war paint makeup thing.

"Honestly." I say a little hesitance about admitting this "a little." I have no doubts about this but that doesn't mean I'm not a little nervous about the whole thing.

"Don't worry it's normal." She assures me. "You remember how I was the night of my bonding ceremony." she asks and I couldn't help the small laugh that escapes my lips. Rora got married within my first few months here. Luna assigned her as my guard for my stay and the two of us quickly became great friends in the time we were together. And to say she was a nervous wreck would be putting it mildly. "And done." she says taking a few steps back to admire her handy work.

"Looking good Griffith." Ravens comments with a whistle. Octavia and my mother also complement my looks. After the four of them get themselves ready we head out to the edge of the woods where the others are waiting. Aster the healer I took over from when she retired earlier this year agreed to be the one to join us as she was one of the first people to join Luna's clan and became sort of a mother to the night blood. in my time her she also treated me like i was her own and way beyond thrilled to her about me and Luna getting together and later intended. she said it would be her greatest honour to bond us.

"Ready." Luna asks with a barely contained smile.

"Born ready." this causes her to break revealing her dazzling smile which I have come to love. I'm pretty sure my expression matches hers.

"Friends and Family." Aster begins drawing everyone attention. "Tonight Luna kom Floukru and Clarke Kom Floukru join themselves in heart soul and blood." she picks up a very shiny and sharp knife and hands it out to Luna to take to start the bonding process.

"With this cut I join us together." Luna recites slicing open her palm letting the black blood spill out. Before handing me the knife slightly stained with blood.

"Taim ai gonplei ste oden." I finish saying in trigedasleng until my fight is over the bonding promise. Next I cut open my hand drawing my red blood. Aster then pulls out a long piece of fabric and ties it around our hands mixing our blood and joining us together.

"With this tie you are now bonded." she proclaims earning an applause from our audience. Bonding ceremony's are usually quick but the part afterwards goes on all through the night.

"Ai hod yu in." I tell Luna.

"Ai hod yu in seintaim." She replies before kissing me sending waves of happiness through me. I now finally have a claim to her and her to me. My start to life on the ground wasn't the best but I would go through all the pain again just to get to this moment with the women I love. I only wish that my dad and Wells could have been here for this. I know for a fact they would have Loved Luna. Maybe more then they loved me but to be fair I would Luna more than them too so. Yeah. Time to celebrate at the banquet for a few hours before sneaking off with my bride. Tonight, is going to be a long night.

And we done people. a short chapter to wrap this story up. Hope you enjoyed it. I am thinking or writing a Prequel to this showing how Luna and Clarke got together but that might take some time if i decide to do it. Anyways until next time goodbye.
