Humming to myself as I walk outside after finishing everything I needed to do today I feel the excitement at the thought of tomorrow grow. Standing and looking around the pack grounds I feel warmth spread through me as I realise this time tomorrow I will officially be the packs Luna.
Smiling and waving to a few pack members as they pass and say their greetings, I stretch and enjoy the peacefulness of the evening. “Home” Kia murmurs happily to me.
“Nova!” I turn hearing my name being called loudly to see Naomi running towards me.
“Whoa slow down mama to be” I laugh, “I’m here what’s up?”
Taking a moment to gain her breath I smile at her as she blushes slightly from her eagerness. “I just wanted to run you through tomorrow before you head upstairs. I know you’ve had a ceremony before but if I don’t Alice will be all over me. You know what she’s like” she laughs.
“Let’s go sit in the garden, we can relax for a bit. I think you’ve earnt it” I smile as we link arms and stroll round the pack house.
“I love this view” she sighs as we take a seat. Nodding my head I can’t help but agree as the orange hues of the setting sun cast a glow over the colourful garden.
“It’s gorgeous” I smile.
“Are you excited for tomorrow?” Naomi asks with a big grin on her face.
“I am” I laugh, “I’m excited to be able to officially say I’m Jaxs mate.”
“He’s like a child in a candy store today, I think he’s very excited” she giggles. “Our big tough alpha all loved up.”
“I haven’t had chance to see him too much today, I know he’s been trying to get as much work done as possible so not to worry about it tomorrow and I had the weekend training which was very popular” I say.
“Well I’ve never seen him so keen to work let’s say that shall we” she giggles again. “And we both know why everyone is wanting to train with you” she adds on with a wink.
“True” I smile. “So how is tomorrow looking?” I ask as I stand to pluck a few flowers for my room.
“Perfect” she squeals, “Alice has finished your dress and it looks absolutely gorgeous! Food is organised, kitchen pack members are happy and relaxed which is a miracle in my opinion with the amount of food they are making. Guests will be arriving from 10am, latest arriving will be Alpha Axton at 2pm. All 30 guest rooms are prepared with the welcome packages you suggested to Alice all ready to be put there in the morning.”
“Anything I can do?” I ask her wanting to be helpful.
“Umm, sleep so your beautiful self can relax before your big ceremony?” She asks with an innocent face. “Or is sleep a bit too far fetched when you share a room with Jax?”
Snorting I look at her biting back a grin, “shush you, I’m not the one with pups in my belly.”
“Yet” she winks.
“Touché” I laugh.
“Amelia is very excited about the prospect of grandpups” she says slyly as I freeze at her words.
“She didn’t” I gasp my mind flashing back to the office incident the other day.
“She did” Naomi says as a wide smile slowly spreads across her face.
Feeling my cheeks burn I bite my lip before taking a seat next to Naomi on the bench. “It was so embarrassing” I whisper to her.
“Don’t be embarrassed, you’re with an Alpha” she points out before looking at my blank expression, “Alpha is the strongest in the pack..in all senses.”
“Oh trust me I know that” I say as I understand what she’s talking about, “I’m reminded daily..multiple times” I giggle wiggling my brows.
“Well then Amelia has been there done that” she says matter of factly.
“Oh yes I know, no doubt” I say trying to not think of her and David, “but no what was most embarrassing was the fact she was with her twins.”
Hearing that Naomi’s jaw drops in shock as I feel the tips of my ears burning. After a moment of shocked silence she abruptly closes her mouth before looking at me. Seeing her lip suddenly twitch I burst into giggles as she soon follows me.
“She..she failed t..to mention t..that” Naomi gasps out between her giggles. Tears streaming down her face she bites her lip trying to stop her laughing.
