Lilith's POVThe dress doesn't fit as I had wished, my body obviously a few pounds lighter than the last time I had tried it on.I stare at myself in the mirror, the white dress that's strikingly similar to a wedding dress hugging my every curve.Where there had once been a flat stomach, there is now a roundness there. But other than the tightness in that one fateful area of my body there is nothing else wrong with it.It's all lace bodice, falling to the floor in pooled material thats whispering around my ankles.I chose not to wear any shoes.Yes, Calley found that unusual but I hate shoes, how they confine my my feet and hurt my toes.I guess it's because I've never had a reason to wear them and I really didn't want today to be an uncomfortable day.Well anymore than it already will be with regards of me standing before the whole pack whilst I take my place as Luna.I twirl in the mirror, enjoying the feeling of being beautiful.My hair hangs down my back in a blonde halo, my eyes
Theseus's POVSomething begs me to stay within the house to watch our fighter walk down the stairs, it's just a shame I do not care for the sounds coming from upstairs, even as muted as they are.Intimacy is part and parcel of loving someone, but when it's your young, your daughter that only makes your squirm.And though my hearing is not on par with the wolves we are surrounded with, my hearing still allows some sounds to filter down here to the living room.Lilith's late, only by a few minutes but that's because she's side tracked, Khai was sent up to collect her, Theo waiting outside with the efficient that will take her through the ceremony of becoming this packs Luna.One step forwards in her fate, earning this title based on her selflessness.Lilith has always been destined for greatness, we knew that before even making her.Before Celeste grew her and birthed her.I look to my wife, my mate.She's strikingly beautiful in the gown I had made for her.Perhaps when I brought it ma
Hati’s POVAh, now I know.Theo is holding a luna ceremony for his mate.For Lilith.I knew it would happen, there’s no way that son of a bitch will allow any room for her ownage to be questioned.But I’m not sure Zeus will care of his moronic claim on the girl.Zeus is god, everyone’s god and I doubt a small and insignificant hybrid wolf would put him off of claiming the girl he had sent down here for me to keep.Obviously I didn’t keep her too well, my inability to bend her will to my own has proved troublesome.And her loyalty sure hasn’t landed where it should have but then again perhaps that’s her destiny, or what Celeste calls fate.This is a welcome distraction from my nightmare of trying to find Aspen.And I check for invites, wondering if I missed mine whilst I’ve been busy.But there isn’t one and that is… unusual.Luna ceremony’s are usually a big celebration.Alphas from all around are invited, the more the merrier but I’m shocked to find out that Theo has not invited one
Theo's POVThe ceremony passed with ease, Lilith accepting and vowing to remain in the one place she has destined to be in.For that I'm sure. She looks breathtakingly beautiful in her gown, beautiful beyond's words that I cannot fathom to articulate.Everyone forms a line to congratulate us.You see, this ceremony is basically a wedding, a binding of agreements between man, the alpha, and woman, the Luna.I think that's why we dress up as we are, me in a suit, a tie and all and her in a beautiful white gown that only accentuates the fact she is a magnificent piece of art.This is a day I will look back on for years and the photos will enable me to remember every detail.But it does get boring, the endless pack members repeating exactly as the last has said.It's not as if they need to do this, I can hear their lurking happiness through the pack link, and I think Lilith can too.She looks tired, overwhelmed after twenty minutes of shaking everyone's hands, and I watch worriedly as sh
Lilith's POVI bailed. I thought I could do it, but the anxiety of shifting before everyone overtook me.Yes they are my people and I felt nothing but love coming from them today but shifting for me is an emotional affair.It leaves me feeling raw and unplugged. Open to the possibility of being vulnerable.And I want, no need, not to be vulnerable in front of my people.Perhaps I'm just tired, maybe I can blame it on that. I haven't been sleeping well, waking often without really falling into a deep sleep.Not that I would change Little Lora for the world.She somehow completes me. Fills a hole I fear Celeste and Theseus created long ago.But they are trying to make amends for that, and I appreciate them doing it in an organic way without pestering me into forgiving them.In fact I dare say they don't expect forgiveness.That sounds slightly crazy, doesn't it?Who would think the people who made me, birthed me and dumped me would be so... normal.They are nothing as I wished for, not
Theo’s POVThe run with nothing less than exhilarating.The whole pack is bouncing around with happiness and compliments on their new Luna.They are excitedly murmuring between one another when I finally take control, shifting in the yard only to run through the house and head upstairs.It’s nightfall now, the sky dark as the moon has risen and the warriors in place around the borders.The house seems as if it were sleeping, it’s quiet and dark but I know better. I can feel Lilith and Khai.They are both awake.And as I walk through the bedroom door I note them laying in bed besides each other, popcorn in a bowl between their legs and the tv on the wall on very quietly.I presume not to wake Lora.“Evening,” I greet them, walking into the room to close the door quickly. I head straight through to bathroom, turning the shower on to rid the dirt and mud from my body.And I step inside just as the water warms, freezing myself in the process because I want to rush in the name of joining L
Khai's POVTheo's waiting for me.That's a new I'm happy to oblige with but that doesn't mean my worry of whether Lilith is ready doesn't sit in the forefront of my mind.If Theo hadn't already thrust himself inside her I would use foreplay to ready her. Stretch and arouse her but I can't.Not with him already situated.So I kiss along her mark, knowing just how much that turns her on.Licking, nipping and sucking lightly to arouse her. Making enough pressure to make her moan and squirm.Theo sighs too, her movements obviously arousing for him also and although I do not find him sexually arousing, I am pleased that he, too, is turn't on right now.I think that despite my love for only Lilith that I have a mutual respect and I'm turn a type of love for Theo.I would die for him, fight until the end to protect him just as I would for Lilith and now Lora.'She's ready,' Theo enlightens me, a smirk covering his face as push Lilith towards him to hold.My vodka already hard, waiting and re
Theo’s POVI lay in bed with Lilith and Khai well into the morning but I cannot sleep and my heart rate is palpitating.When we were running earlier I felt as if we were being watched and I had the warriors guard the borders and much to my dismay they found Damian’s warriors watching. Waiting…I knew they would be and perhaps Lilith bailing was a good thing.No one outside of my land, my pack know she’s a white wolf let alone a goddess in her own right.And no one outside of this pack know of Lora’s existence just yet.Though I doubt we can keep her existence a complete secrecy for long.We are going against every protocol known to wolf-kind.A heir, much as Lora is, birth should be lodged with the high court.Her name going in a book for future alpha’s.Her being a female is an unusual occurrence as it is.Almost all alphas produce male heirs and up until recently rules would be in place for female pups to be disregarded when another male pup turned up.But I’m glad that particular ru
