She has quite the little mouth on her and I do love her spunk. She doesn't cower away from me and she is not scared to speak her mind. I could not believe the luck I struck in finding her.
I'm sure she is going to drive me crazy, and she will probably try to kill me a few times before the mating ceremony, but I am so excited to see what else she has up her sleeves for me.
I quickly link the pack, 'I have found our Luna and we will arrive in about 30 minutes. Make sure dinner is prepared and we need three extra rooms for her family and beta.' I feel their excitement running through our bonds and I can not help the pride I feel.
My pack has waited so long for the announcement that I found their Luna and I am sure many of them thought it would never happen. I can not wait to show her off to them. My little mate and Luna.
I look over at her again, and she is sitting there, staring out of my window. She might not show it, but I know she is on edge about meeting her new pack.
That is why she brought her own protectors, but my people will love her. She will fit right in, and she is there, Luna. The bond between a pack and their Luna is unbreakable. It's stronger than the bond they share with me.
An Alpha has to show dominance over his pack and he can be challenged, but the bond between a Luna and her pack is one out of pure love and respect for her.
Bella squeezes Megan's hand and she smiles at my mate. At Least the beta has stopped crying. I don't know why she is my mate's beta, but then, people say the same about the twins.
We finally make it to the pack lands and she squares her shoulders as she ready herself for whatever she thinks is about to happen,
"Oh, so the sun does shine in hell,"
I cover my mouth to hide my smile.
We pull up to the pack house and Megan gasps,
"Oh my goddess! It's beautiful,"
I smile as Bella's eyes widen slightly and then she smiles,
"It is beautiful, no doom and gloom,"
She looks over the massive white stoned pack house with the river running behind it. Luckily, our room faces the river, and I hope she loves the view. When I designed the pack house, I kept the view, my room, and my office in mind when I decided where to place what.
"Come on, little Luna. It's time to meet your new pack,"
she sighed as I got out and she scooted over to my side. I hold my hand out to her and my knees almost buckle as she looks up at me and places her hand in mine.
I am actually quite surprised to see that people have shown up for her arrival. There must be at least 500 pack members here. I step aside, and her grip tightens on my hand. I place my hand on her lower back to reassure her that no one is going to hurt her.
They all stare at her and she doesn't cower away. She looked each of them in the eyes as her gaze drifted over the crowd,
"This is your Luna Elizabeth,"
She wrinkled her nose at her name and I quickly added,
"But you can call her Luna Bella. This is her Beta, Megan."
Megan comes and stands next to Bella, and I can't believe it's the same girl who cried on her parent's floor this morning. Her stance is those of a fighter, her shoulders straight and her head held high. She is mirroring Bella and they look like a force to be reckoned with.
"I will let my mate introduce the rest of her family to you all,"
I say, and I hear Bella take a sharp breath as she looks over at her family and smirks at them. They all walk past her and the one says,
"Luna…"
And she shakes her head as she smiles at him.
"Hello everyone, this is my enforcer, Caroline. She is also my sister and this is her mate Xaden."
I smile when I see Caroline wrinkle her nose, which reminds me so much of my mate.
"This is my gamma and oldest brother, Daniel, and his mate, Ray-lee. Thank you for the warm welcome you all are showing us by being here. I was not expecting to see so many faces. But I'm glad to see a few familiar faces as well."
A few of the males bow their heads and the rest just stare at her like she is some kind of goddess.
She turns to me after a moment and I can not take my eyes off her. My mate is finally home with me. Then she walks past me right into the pack house with her entire entourage behind her.
I'm still staring at the door when Caroline comes out again,
"She wants her bags, alpha,"
I nod and we help her unload the car,
"I'm Cor, by the way. Please don't call me Caroline. For the love of the goddess, I hate that name," I watch as she picks up 4 of Megan's bags and she notices me staring,
"Never seen a female carry bags before?"
I shake my head,
"Oh, she is going to make your life hell."
She says, chuckling, before she brushes past me and walks inside again. I wonder what she meant by that.
I turn and face the pack again,
"I expect you all to treat your Luna and her people with the respect they deserve. And for fuck sake, stop staring at her, she is real. I promise,"
They all smile and then I dismiss them as soon as I hear someone growl inside.
I enter the packhouse, half expecting to see two people at each other's throats,
"What was that growl for?"
"We were just playing, calm down. You will know when I'm pissed. You will find blood,"
Bella says as she looks around.
Megan walked over and kissed Bella on the cheek, and then she winked at her. I shake my head.
"Max, I'm exhausted. Please show me to our room so I can lay down a little."
My heart feels like it wants to explode in my chest as the one corner of my mouth lifts. I swear I have never smiled or laughed this much in my life.
I pick her bag up and run up the stairs, two at a time. I reached the top and remembered that I left my mate downstairs, so I ran back down again,
"Sorry,"
I tell her and hold my hand out. She smiles and shakes her head at me. She looks at my hand as if I will bite her,
"I won't bite, promise,"
She raises one eyebrow at me,
"I might,"
Good goddess, does this female want to kill me because all I can think about now is her marking me, over and over again.
As soon as we enter the room, she sighs in relief when she sees the bed. She takes her shoes off and falls face-first on the bed as she groans out loud. My eyes rake over her tight body. Her ass is on full display. Begging me to grab it. She's on my bed and I want to sink into her with more than just my teeth. I run my tongue over my teeth and take in a shaky breath. My dick is straining against my pants.
I see her eyes fall close when she turns her head to the side. Poor thing must be exhausted. I walk over and wrap my hands around the smallest middle I have ever held. She squeaks and giggles as I move her,
"That tickles,"
She presses her head into the pillow and it looks like she wants the pillow to swallow her. I push her over to the other side and she gasps,
"This is my side, closest to the door,"
Now I have another situation. I really don't want to lay next to her with clothes on, but I can not get into the bed butt-ass naked. I decided on a middle ground. Shirt and shoes off, and pants stay on, for now at least.
I lay down and saw she was way too far from me. I pull her closer and she grip the sheet as I pull her into my chest. I can't help myself and just take one long sniff of her scent in her neck and my wolf almost loses its shit in my mind.
"Comfortable?"
I whisper into her neck,
"Shhhh…"
She whispers back and I smile,
"I just need one hour, that's all. Just one hour of sleep,"
I hum my agreement, although she could sleep for hours if that is what she wanted.
I hold her while she sleeps and she doesn't even stir as I run my hand over her hair and arm. She is so beautiful and she was mine.
I close my eyes for a moment and wake up with a small hand on my dick. My eyes immediately fly open and my hips lift on their own accord,
"Bella,"
I ground out, and she tightened her grip when she started.
"Love, unless you want me inside of you. I suggest you move your hand,"
I have no problem fucking her right now, but she is sleeping and probably has no idea what she is doing.
"What?"
she mumbles,
"your hand,"
I whisper and she slowly opens her eyes,
"oh goddess,"
she gasps and pulls her hand away,
"I'm so sorry,"
I took her hand in mine and pulled her down next to me again,
"Sleep, you still look exhausted,"
I lied. She looks perfect, always.
