All the joy that I felt at his declaration was indescribable.
"You want me to be your Luna Renzo?" I repeated, still incredulous. Renzo was so handsome. He was so tall, more than six feet tall, riped with muscles, and a mischievous smirked that always melted my heart. "Of course I will make you my Luna. Can there be anyone else?" "What about your fated mate? You will surely cast me aside once you find her. I've seen how the mate bond makes a fool of all those mated couples around here. Didn't you see how Larissa Clinton abandoned Trevor Smith after five years living together as soon as she found her mate?" Renzo gave me a sterned look. and hold me from my shoulders. He looked at me seriously, his eyes flashed with a torrent of emotions. " Little one, don't you know that we're end game? Don't you know that I chose you the first time I laid eyes on you? Fated or not, you're mine, and if I ever find my supposed mate and it's not you, I will reject her right then and there. You're mine, and I will never let you go." I hugged him from his waist as he embraced me to kiss the top of my head. He smelled so go. It was my favorite smell in the world. He smelled clean and masculine like the meadow. "Will you be tonight with me at 12 waiting for my birthday? Mom and Dad decided not to throw a party for me this year. They said the moment we received our wolves should be intimate and only the family should be there. You're my family too, Renzo. It would make me happy if you're there." "There's nothing in this world that'd make me miss it. I will be there." "Once I get my wolf, do you think we can tell if we're mates? It's going to be a full moon tonight as well." "We usually find our mates when we turn eighteen, but I don't need anything else to reassure me of what I already know. Saoirse, you are mine." A shiver ran through my back at his last words. It was no secret how possessive he was of me. Many she-wolves envied me because of that. None of them acted against me because they knew Renzo would be merciless to whoever dare put a finger on me. It was an unspoken rule among the pack members. Even Shane his Beta was protective of me whenever Renzo wasn't around. He dropped me home with the promise to come back before twelve at night. To my surprise my parents were there. I was thankful when we moved here. Dad has gotten better, and he rarely fought with mom. Back in Ireland, his jelousy was overbearing. They weren't fated, and when mom's fated mate showed up my parents were together already and I was a newborn. Mom didn't leave with her mate for my sake, but her mate was constantly trying to be close to her, even after she rejected him. I wonder were he is now. "Oh, honey, you're back. I'm making your favorite food." The smell of food enveloped me at once. Mom was wearing an apron that accentuated her small waist. She was really pretty at 33. She had me at 19. I wonder if she regrets not having waited for her mate. Her mate was my dad's best friend and he had been taken away by family two months before her birthday when his parents died in a rogue attack. He came back as soon as he could, but it was too late. I overheard mom talking to her friend back home, but she doesn't know that I know. "Mom smells delicious! Did you and dad take the day off?" Dad entered the kitchen at that moment and gave me a hug kissing my check in the process "Well of course sunshine. Today will be the most important night of your life. You're getting your wolf. Now go on and change, I'm starving." I went to change quickly and as I was re-entering the kitchen, I heard them whispering. Mom sounded worried while dad tried to reassure her. "I don't know, Colin. I'm worried. What if the Moon Goddess punishes us for what we did? For going against the mate bond." "Aela you don't need to call for bad omens upon our daughter. She will be fine. If anything, the Goddess should punish me and not an innocent. I was the one who pursued you relentlessly." I don't deny their conversation worried me but that afternoon we ate and laugh and I basked on my parents' love and attention. Time flied and by 11:30 pm Renzo rang the doorbell. "Mom I got it, is Renzo!" Mom and dad exchanged nervous glances. "Honey, I thought I told you this was an intimate ocassion. Only family." "Mom, Renzo is family" I opened the door and jumped on Renzo's arms taking him by surprised. He stepped inside and put me on the floor while he deeply inhale the scent of my neck. He always loved to do that. "Well, Alpha Renzo you're welcome to stay. Let's go to the backyard. I spent all afternoon decorating it for the special occasion. " "Thanks, Healer Colin." We stepped outside and I was in awe at the marvelous work dad did. I was so nervous. Renzo sat next to me on the plushie cushions and we waited. But 12 am came and went and nothing happened. By 2 am mom and dad were all kinds of worried and looked at me with guilty eyes. Renzo would continue to reassure me and promised to wait with me as long as it was necessary. We ended up spending the night outside. When the first morning sunrays started to appear, I was asleep on Renzo's lap. Tear marks stained my cheeks and every now and then I would whimper on my sleep. Renzo kissed my cheeks to wake me up. "Wake up, little one. This changes nothing. I still love you no matter what. I'm sure you're a late bloomer. I don't want you to worry unnecessarily." I sat straight up still on his lap. I looked up at him with teary eyes and he cleaned a stray one with his thumb. "You... you love me?" He chuckled and kissed my cheek one more time. "I thought I was never subtle about it. I wanted to wait until I came back from Alpha training to tell you. But it has never been a secret. Now go rest and I'll see you this afternoon. I have to leave tomorrow morning." The next morning Renzo left. His Beta was supposed to accompany him but Shane had found his mate the night before. Hanna was a Beta female with a strong wolf. Renzo left both of them in charge of my safety while he was away. If I had my wolf that would have been totally unnecessary. Two years without him will be agonizing. If I never get my wolf I can never be his Luna either. I felt a pang on my chest at the mere thought.Renzo 20. Saoirse 16 Renzo POV: I was finally done with the Alpha training. I wanted to surprise Saoirse by arriving 2 weeks earlier. I didn't think I was going to be the surprised one. " What do you mean she left the pack?" Shane was trying to explain as I was trashing my dad's office. "She left two years ago just 2 weeks after you left." I grabbed him by the neck at that revelation. He had assured me all these years that she was safe. She didn't email me as promised, but Shane told me it was because she was embarrassed for not having a wolf. Didn't she know that wolf or no wolf she was all I wanted? I was seething. My dad pulled me away from shane. " You need to calm down, son. I was going to send for her before you came back. She asked for permission to leave two years ago because it had become unbearable for her here. She was tired of the looks of pity when people learned she didn't get a wolf. Things at school were getting out of hand. The shewolves that had alw
Saoirse POV: I got up to open the door. I already knew who was at the door; Ronan. My mother's fated name. He took it upon himself to take care of my grandma after mom left. I had learned the truth of what happened to them back then, and I was both guilty and sad. I opened the door and sure think there he was. All six foot fall, clad in a blue flannel shirt and jeans. His brown hair was uncombed, and his hazel eyes looked hopeful. "Hi Ronan, come in. Grandma baked the scones you like?" Ronan kissed my cheek, and I heard a dangerous snarl. "Not on my table, young man." Grandma chided Renzo and Shane laughed. "It's al right, Renzo, this is Ronan. My mom's fated mate." Shane spitted the coffee he was drinking, and Renzo shook his head confused. "Say what?" They both said at the same time. "Is a long story. But he has been taking care of grandma since we left to USA." "Now, now. I don't need anybody to take care of me. Specially this boy. He is lucky I tolerate him e
Renzo POV: It was the next day early morning. I went to the kitchen for a coffee. Everyone else was still asleep, or so I thought. Saoirse was standing there by the window with a cup of coffee deep in contemplation. I slided my arms around her waist and inhaled her scent. I startled her for a moment, but then she smiled and sank into my embrace. If she had a wolf, she would've felt me coming. I'm still convinced she will get hers eventually. There is an aura about her, I could feel it "What are you thinking, little one?" She turned around, still in my arms, and exhaled. "I'm, I'm nervous, Renzo. I have no purpose in a pack. The she-wolves at school made sure to remind me how useless a wolfless person is in a werewolf community." I was going to kill those ignorant brats. "You're not useless. Please don't say that. You're my happiness and my sanity. You're all I need to keep me going. Without you, I would not have the head or the motivation to run that pack. Do you think
Saoirse POV We were at the council's headquarters to hear their verdict. Mom was shaking, and her eyes were puffy for crying for too long. Dad had the decency to look ashamed as he was sitting next to the head of the council, Elder James. He was getting interrogated. I couldn't help but cry, too. Renzo tightened his hold on me while we listened in a room full of people. Council member Patrick was ruthless as he questioned my dad. "According to our investigations, Mr. Colin, you found your mate when you turned 18." My mother and I gasped at the same time. " Tell us what happened to her. Remember that you are under Alpha's command, and you can not lie." Father looked toward us, and he looked older, with dark circles under his eyes. I felt a pang in my heart, but then he spoke. "I rejected her." The whole room went into hushed whispers. The head of the Council Elder James had to silenced them. "And why did you do such a thing if you may enlighten us?" By now, dad looked desp
Renzo 21. Saoirse 17 Renzo POV: I will finally take over the pack in another month. Everything is prepared for the ceremony right after Saoirse's 18th birthday. That night, like always, we'll wait for 12am together, but this time, I will finally make her mine. It had gotten almost impossible to control myself. Lately, our makeout sessions have become steamier, and I know if I found myself alone with her one more time, I won't be able to stop. She had moved to the mansion a long time ago, and having her so close all the time was driving me crazy with need. Her scent was everywhere. Her tantalizing body called to me every time she was nearby, and her taste, Goddess, she tasted better than I had imagined, better than the sweetest nectar. What happened last night can not be repeated again, for now. It was late last night, and I was still working on some documents I needed for the packs' meeting next week. She entered my office with nothing but a white silky rob and a short nighty. Her
Saoirse POV: Renzo had just left, and I missed him already. I feel anxious when he is not with me. I feel like he is all I have. Mom and Grandma are so far away and Dad avoids me all the time. The shewolves still are whispering nasty things about me. Stacy and her group of friends are the worst. Just now, she passed by close to me and faked a cough that sounded more like 'wolfless.'' Her minions burst out laughing. Another group of male wolves was ahead. Some of them go in my class. One of them, Cade I think, waves at me, and I waved back. One of his friends slapped the back of his head, and he laughed nervously. I know many of them have a crush on me, but I only have eyes for Renzo. As I passed by them, I heard them murmuring. I could only make up some words, like 'Alpha's woman' and 'hot.'' I have no werewolf hearing. I sighed. As I entered my room inside the Alpha's mansion, I found my bed already made and everything organized. The omegas treated me like their luna already. I
Renzo POV: 'Blaze stupid wolf, would you shut up?' I looked at the female again. She had black hair and hazel eyes. Her face was covered in a dust of freckles she was cute. She stepped forward, and Blaze, my friend, not my wolf, Goddess, was it ever so confusing? My friend looked from me to her, trying to figure out what was going on. "What is happening? Azalea, sister, do you know each other?" Azalea, that's her name. She gave her brother the widest smile. "Brother, he's my mate! I finally found my mate after almost 4 years." Elder Patrick almost squealed with delight and loudly announced it to everyone who had ears and was interested to know " My dearest niece is mated to an Alpha. The Alpha heir of the powerful Moon Shadow Pack." Everyone was staring at us at this point. Great! Just great. "Renzo, we're going to be brother in laws. This is magnificent. I wouldn't trust my sister to anyone but you. But come on, don't be shy. This is my twin sister, Azalea. Azalea, t
I was standing completely naked now. I kicked off my heels and stood still, barefoot. Renzo's eyes had darkened. They would flicker between his and the ones of his wolf. The look of lust and adoration he was giving me was becoming too much for me. I covered my breasts with one hand and my pussy with the other. He quickly stood up and grabbed both of my hands from my wrists. He then held them with one hand behind my back. He continued staring at me with veiled eyes, and he growled under his breath. "Don't hide from me, angel. You're absolutely divine." His voice sounded raspy. He kissed and sucked the crook of my neck, making me shudder. I wasn't sure how we transferred to the bed between kissing and fondling each other. He was flat on the bed and pulled me on top of him. "Sit on my face, little one, come on." He was still wearing his white shirt and jeans. The bulk on his pants was alarmingly big. Some of the buttons of his shirt had come undone due to the frantic exploration of o
