Ch. 3 My Wolf

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.
