Christian
After my visit to King, I directly went to my uncle's house and asked Ethan to bring everyone there. As I reached, Dadda, Mumma, Ethan, Mary, Bryan and Karen were already there seated in the living room.
Bryan and Ethan had their serious mode on while Dadda and Uncle were having their coffee while talking. I specifically mentioned not to inform Jeanne or Greg. If Greg knows something, Jeanne has her ways to get it out of him.
Bryan is my cousin and Karen is his mother. She did not marry my uncle but I know Bryan is his son and since she is his real mate. Bryan looks a lot like him but fortunately he didn't inherit any of his traits.
Karen might not take any help from me or anyone else, she might not even consider us as her family. But to me Bryan is my cousin with my family blood in his veins and she is his mother which makes both of them directly my responsibility. I will save them from every threat like a family.
I told them about finding my mate in New York. Mumma and Aunt were jumping up and down with excitement while Karen had tears in her eyes. Dadda and Uncle were smiling proudly.
Bryan still had his serious mode as if he knew I also had bad news with me.
After they all settled down again I gave them the rest of information, as I disclosed every detail of Celia, my thoughts and doubts of prophecy. They fell silent, Mumma and Aunt had scared looks on their faces while Karen was shivering.
Dadda and Uncle had their own expressions of shock and fear, Bryan looks like he is trying to solve an unsolved mystery using all his nerdy brains and is all set to fight the war.
“So, that was the reason to check for Celia, I mean Luna.”, Bryan mind linked with me. I gave him a nod.
I am happy Bryan also accepted Celia so quickly just like Ethan and Mary. I am not sure if every member of the pack will accept her just like this because I am sure some will definitely oppose the thought of having a human as their Luna. I am still in doubt of Jeanne’s acceptance.
Karen stood up and ordered Bryan to leave with her. As I tried to stop her and ask for reason to leave so suddenly.
“I am sorry, alpha but I can’t accept a human as my Luna. I am not sure if prophecy is true or not but if there is a war going to happen. I will ask you for your permission to leave for me and my son.”, she said with her head bowed low. Bryan just took two steps back and shook his head in disapproval.
“No mom, we’re not leaving. It's my turn to return the favor of the alpha and his family, this pack for giving shelter when we had no one for us. My father just left us to die alone. I will serve Alpha Christian and Blue Moon pack with my life.”, he said and left the house.
“Karen, if you want to leave I won't stop you neither they will but I promise if you choose to stay and a war happens I will not let anything happen to you or Bryan or another pack member.”
“I am sorry alpha, I was scared for my son’s life. I have no one apart from him. I went rogue after your uncle rejected me again but I chose to come for a pack just for his sanity and if his life is in danger. I will choose to leave again.”, she said as she sobbed. She broke as she said it and sat on the floor.
Ethan and I left while the ladies sympathized with Karen. We might need her in war as she is one of the best fighters of our pack. She might be old but still capable of fighting 5 wolves alone. She will be a great help if war happens.
Later that same night I called another urgent meeting with Dadda, uncle, Ethan and Bryan to discuss the plan. No one knew what to do. Uncle approved Celia being my true mate, he asked me to let aunt and mumma see me and Celia together for once since I avoided her till now.
Being former Lunas they can feel if two unmated mates are together in a room. A Luna resembles Moon Goddess in pack and gives the motherly love to pack members. She feels their feelings as her own and takes care of them as her children. Sometimes even sacrifices herself for a pack like my mother did.
We decided if mumma and aunt approves of Celia, then I should start making her fall in love with me madly so that when I reveal my identity to her she can never decide against me. And since we don't know how and when will war happen, we will just wait till we get any sign but be on alert all the time. Since we can’t tell everyone in the pack, we have to be more careful.
Next morning at breakfast, I saw that Harris chose Celia as his team member for such an important project. Maybe this is my cue to get close to her and make her fall in love with me because I am already deeply in love with her.
As I saw her there in the morning in office clothes I didn’t know how to proceed further in meeting while having her around me. It was hard for me and when she replied fiercely for questioning her abilities. I was hard, I wanted to take her then and there.
She ticks all my boxes for my Luna, I know she is confident, fierce and calm all at the same time. She can fight when she wants, she cares for others and respects her elders. She loves and cares for Little. Little once told me she loves to spend time with kids but is afraid of them at the same time.
But before I give her the seat beside me and let her rule with me, she needs to prove if she can sacrifice anything for my pack when time comes or will step back.
We met again at dinner, I couldn’t help but look at her all the time. Mumma approved of sparks between me and Celia. My wolf cheered and did a happy dance in my mind. He wanted to go and slap the king for not believing and calling our mate fake.
That night, we played cards. I could sense Celia getting aroused. Her smell was calling for me and my wolf wanted to tear apart those clothes off her body and cherish her skin. I wanted to make her scream my name loud and clear for everyone to hear in this town.
As we moved towards our rooms, I could sense how her walk was changed due to wetness between her legs. I wonder if she is gonna do anything about it. I went to my room and went out of the window, crawled along the edge and went to her balcony.
She has her curtains on, I could see her awake and watching something over her laptop. She started playing with her boobs and then I noticed how naked she was under that blanket. I resist my temptation to join her in bed and please her.
I stood there and saw her screaming my name as she came against her hand. I was damn hard.
