*** Rebecca *** It's been more than a few days since Luke has saved me and I have been staying in the packhouse, precisely in Luke's room. He was very adamant that I would stay with him and in his room and to be honest those were the best days and nights. Luke is unbelievably caring and gentle. I get a good morning kiss every morning and in the evening, it has gotten quite heated a couple of times, but we sort of agreed that we would take it slow and get to know each other before we actually gonna take the next step. We talked every night till early morning about everything and nothing, and he let me sleep till noon, while he got up early to take care of the ranch. Everyday I was falling deeper and deeper for this wonderful man and if I am to judge from the bulging between his legs every time we touched and kissed, I think he has been falling just as deep. He has managed to get my things back and whatever I didn't have, he promised that we would go shopping when I will fully recover.
*** Rebecca *** I woke up feeling groggy and sore. My neck was on fire and every muscle of my body was aching. Luke was soundly asleep next to me with his arms around me and wrapped us both in blankets. It was already daylight and we slept naked tangled in each other's arms all morning. I tried to get up, but my body was weak and it was all aching. I let out a soft moan of agony and Luke shot up from his slumber."What's wrong? You ok?" He asked with concern."I'm fine" I laughed softly. "Just very tired, my muscles won't listen to me and my neck is very sore. It feels as if it's on fire." "I'm sorry baby, it's my mark.. it will hurt for a while and your body will accept and recover from it, but it will get better in a day or two, I promise" he said apologetic."Don't be, I'll be fine, I wanted this, I wanted you and I would never take it back. I just need a little rest and maybe some food." I said smiling."Food, yes, food would be good. Let me pack everything and I will get you ho
*** Luke ***I was waiting for Rebecca to come meet me in the office impatiently, because I had something important to talk about. Ryan went to get her from our bedroom, she was still asleep when I left for the office this morning. I couldn't neglect my work any longer, the ranch needed me and no matter how much I would rather stay in bed with my mate, I had to get back to work. My doors opened and Ryan with Rebecca pulled me out of my thoughts, she walked in looking like an angel with those clueless emerald eyes. It was unbelievably hard to keep myself and my wolf in check after the pack doctor advised us to let Rebecca's body heal and recover after my mark for at least a couple of days. And it was a pure torture for me and I think for my Luna too, judging from the way she looks at me, just like a hungry wolf. It made me feel even more fuzzy inside knowing that she is craving me just as much. "Good morning, baby." "Good morning, Alpha." She said teasingly. I will never get enough
*** Rebecca *** It's been a few weeks since Luke has marked me and we officially mated. I will never forget that steamy night under the stars filled with hot kisses and sex that left me feeling weak for days. I still get flustered every time I see him or when he calls me baby, and when he kisses me there is this fire inside that would melt mountains. Never will I tire of this amazing feeling and the sparks his touch gives me. We were like hungry wolves for each other, made love everywhere and anytime we could. I lost count how many times he pulled my panties down and locked us in his office to get what we both desired, it's like we have no control over it. Never in my life was I craving anyone more than I craved Luke. I don't know if it was our mate bond messing with me and my sexual drive, but he could make me wet just by giving me that dark brooding look which I loved so much. We gave into our temptation this morning again in the office bathroom… I'm pretty sure most of the office
***Rebecca ***Ryan was pacing up and down the hospital hallway, looking like he's gonna explode any moment now. I can't imagine what he is going through, but I'm pretty sure it was nerve wrecking. He got himself kicked out of the delivery room, because he kept shouting at the doctor to do something. Honestly it was quite funny, never have I seen anyone so terrified and panicked in my life. Soirse on the other hand was a picture of calmness and poised as ever, kicking Ryan out of the delivery room was her idea, because he annoyed her so much that she instructed the nurse not to let him in until it was time to deliver the baby. So there he was pacing around the hallway and scratching at the doors like a puppy trying to get in. "Soirse, please… I'll behave, I promise…" And all she would tell him is to keep that damn wolf in check before she kicks his ass. Honestly it was very amusing.Soirse has found me early this morning in the dining room, complaining about some pain and discomfort
***Luke ***There she was my perfect mate, my Luna, the love of my life, smiling and dancing with our pack. After the ceremony we went around greeting and introducing Rebecca to all the neighboring packs, their Alpha's and Luna's who came all the way to congratulate us, me for finding my mate and Rebecca for becoming a Luna and part of our world. She was but a fragile human, but she held herself better than most of the werewolves and some Luna's. Her grace and elegance radiated around her all evening and all I could think is how lucky I am to have found her and how much I wanted to make pups with her, as many as we can handle. She smiled at me from across the garden surrounded by other girls and Soirse with her baby boy, she kept looking at the baby with sparkling eyes full of wonder, she wanted kids just as much as I did.The celebration went on well into early hours of the morning, when Rebecca found me in a crowd looking exhausted."Babe, I'm a bit tired already, you think we c
***Luke *** Blood and fur was flying everywhere around, it was an absolute carnage. A bloodbath that no one needed, no one anticipated, and the battle I must win for the sake of my mate. Tyrell was after Rebecca as I instructed him and I was confident he would keep her safe until I returned to her. All I had to do is kill that bastard Cade, the Alpha of a Scarlet blood pack. ***Rebecca***I stood there for a minute sniffing the night air and taking in my surroundings with my new wolf eyes, until I heard someone running towards me and I turned with my fangs ready and my head low. Very confused Tyrell came into view and he looked at me bowing his head low. I couldn't understand what he was doing until I heard his voice: "Luna." He recognised me! But how can I hear him? "Luna? Are you ok? I didn't know you could shift or that you had a wolf…" Oh for crying out loud, what can I say, I didn't know I had a wolf in me."Oh Jesus, Tyrell, what do you want me to say?? That I was hidin
*** Luke *** "June is leaving tomorrow." Rebecca sounded seriously and determined. It was never my plan for her to see June, Rebecca was never meant to be in the office safe rooms and I sure as hell wouldn't have put her through the misery seeing the person that betrayed and hurt her. But Rebecca being a true Luna was stubborn and had a mind of her own."She sure is. What's your plan?" I asked her, setting her feet on the floor of our bedroom. "Well, she can't stay here after what she did, even if it was from a love blinded mind and lies told by Matt. She made a choice and she choose to hurt us both, knowing for well that we are mates and you are her Alpha, she betrayed you even worse. So I made a decision, she will be stripped of our pack name and banished to become a rogue, she won't be able ever to come back or join any other pack. " "That is more than she deserves, baby. I know it's not easy to make a decision like that, but I didn't made any decisions until I spoke to you. I
*** Rebecca *** "Marry me." Whispered Luke."What..?" I mumbled in a daze. I lifted my eyes away from our beautiful boy and looked at Luke, trying to understand if that's what I've heard."Marry me." he said again. I definitely heard it right, but it caught me off guard, since I only started to recover from having a baby. He stroked my cheek and kissed my forehead."Marry me, Rebecca. You are my Luna already and we are bonded, not just by the goddess, but by love, destiny and our child. I loved you from the second I saw you and all I wanted was to make you mine. Body and soul. You made me happier than I could have ever comprehended. We share your ancestors power and duties, you are already my wife in more ways than it's possible, now I want to make it official in the human world. So please, marry me." "Yes. A million times yes." I whispered, trying not to wake our little pup. We both knew the answer, before he even asked me or before he laid out all the reasons for our marriage. The
***Rebecca ***Few days later it was finally time for us to head home. I love my time here, creating many valuable friends and making bonds with some, getting a chance to know Silas better, but it was time for us to go back, time to get ready for my baby's arrival. Thanking the goddess for a smooth flight I stepped out of the plane to inhale that warm summer breeze that was so common in this region. Tyrell got our cars ready and Luke helped him with the luggage, while I dragged my swollen ankles into the back seat. "I can't wait for my feet to go back to their normal size..." I mumbled closing the doors."Any day now, baby. I know it was hard on you, but you getting pregnant made me the happiest man." Luke kissed my hand from the front seat. "I'm just tired Luke, don't pay much attention to what I'm saying. And you know I love you both more than anything." Tyrell came back into the car and we drove home. Luke had some business to take the car to the office and a meeting with some
***Luke*** Rebecca was pacing up and down the hallway, clearly quite nervous and not ready to face the huge crowd that was behind the doors. I could feel her frustration and anxiety, my efforts to calm her down and comfort were quite fruitless. "Maybe we shouldn't do this...?" she whispered, still pacing around."Baby, I'm afraid it may be to late for this decision now..." I said, gesturing around us. We were both dressed and ready to go through with this ceremony, my pregnant mate looked more radiant as ever and those plump breasts were driving me crazy for days. The dress she was wearing made them look even more inviting and full. And the ceremony was the least of my worries. I wanted my mate back, our bond back and once the baby's here I plan to keep her in bed for days. "I know, I know... I just... How will we handle it all? You know our pack, the responsibilities that come with this" she gestured around her, trying to catch her breath "and the kids. How will we cope? Is it so
***Rebecca *** The flight as usual was tragically stressful for me, but talking to Luke kept my mind occupied and focused away from what was happening around me. We spoke about our plans for the pack, who we want to train as our soldiers, who have potential to help out in hospital and who could help run our growing farm. It was nice to finally have some time to be able to discuss all the small bits that were concerning me with Luke. Or all the things we never had enough time to chat and it finally led me to the theme of our mate bond. He sat silently weighing every word I said, knitting his brows several times while I explained everything. When I was done, he took a deep breath and turned to me."I thought it was just me, though I was going crazy or something. Then I tried to calm myself and convince myself that it was because I am still recovering. Never have died before, so the goddess knows how long it takes to recover from. But now that you told it all to me, everything makes sen
*** Rebecca ***Our pack was growing stronger and bigger everyday, so was my belly and I only had weeks left till we will finally get to meet our little pup. I was in full nesting mode by now and had our room redecorated, a crib fitted in next to our bed and Luke's mum took me shopping for baby clothes and all the essentials. She patiently explained to me what I will definitely need and what, maybe not so much. Because as it turns out I didn't know much about baby things, so I was grateful for her help. Luke was back at his full strength and back at work, but now he only allowed me a few hours of work a day. Which wasn't a very bad thing, because it allowed me to focus on the pack and getting to know everyone personally. I was spending at least a couple of hours with our pack everyday, helping them with daily tasks, cooking, taking care of supply shopping or just looking after our ranch. I created a great relationship with most of them, some were still wary of me and Luke, maybe becau
***Luke *** Waking up with Rebecca safely in my arms was a bliss. I never appreciated our small moments together as I do now. The fear of losing her and our child had made me see things in a different light. She made me realize how strong she actually is, how she handled herself and our pack while I was healing, how she never gave up and fought for what she believed in. I thank the goddess for binding us together, faith for letting us meet when we did and the stars for making me a father. I will cherish this life alongside her and our child forever.She stirred quietly in my arms and her eyelashes slowly flustered open. I could die watching into those perfect green eyes of hers. "Good morning." she whispered and kissed me softly. "How are you feeling?" "Perfect. Sleeping next to you was all I needed to recover." "You still need to rest, remember? Doctors orders, so I don't want to hear any of 'oh I feel great and I'm good to go back to work' understand? I want you to fully recover
***Rebecca*** "Look, I understand your concerns. Trust me I have more than you can carry, but this is what we agreed on, all of us and we have to make it work. Those people were neglected, tortured and hurt for far too long. They need a place where they could feel safe and wanted. A place where their children would be protected and able to grow up without fear. And this pack is that place. I never wanted this responsibility on my shoulders, but it landed and I couldn't brush them aside, not after what I've witnessed back there. So I really need all of you on my side to make this happen." "OK. We hear you, we're just concerned that you are putting yourself in danger bringing back the pack that attacked us and wanted to take you away. And who's to say they forgot all those years of brainwashing from Cade and will accept all these changes?" asked Nimue with knitted brows. "Nimue, I understand where you coming from, I do. I'm not saying we need to trust every single one of them immedia
***Rebecca*** Rage was pulsing through my veins and I felt like ripping things apart, screaming and cursing... Today was the day I was meant to meet with the rest of the Scarlet blood pack and get a feel about everyone. Tyrell, Mila and Ryan were accompanying me with half of our soldiers, because I had no idea how they would meet me or what I was walking into. And I had to be ready for anything really. The pack knew their Alpha was dead and they felt a shift of power already. Getting the location of the pack from the captives was fairly easy, they knew what end their Alpha had met and they had nothing else to lose anymore. Therefore the location came quite easy, I wish that was the same for the journey we had ahead of us. I was a pregnant hormonal wolf with thousands of responsibilities weighing on my shoulders, my mate and Alpha was still in hospital and the rest of the pack was onto me like bees on honey. Everyone was super annoyingly protective and I barely had a minute to myself
***Rebecca ***It was yet another agonizing morning for me. Morning sickness and nausea followed me through the day. There was no hiding my pregnancy from the pack anymore. I've been nauseous for weeks and one minute I'm repulsed by food while the other I could down two burgers, fries and a massive piece of apple pie for dessert. Some people started to notice my eating habits, so I guess I should come clear to everyone. Besides, they could use some happy news during this unstable time, because their Alpha still hasn't woken up. I missed him terribly, it angered me that he is missing out on our pregnancy and everything around. I wish there was a way to help him, to awaken him, because even though I was putting up a strong face in front of our pack it was killing me inside. Killing me not to have my mate by my side. Especially when so much was happening, so many things needed to be taken care of and being constantly nauseous did nothing to help me sort those things. I found out that af
