“Luna, please be ready by six tonight. I have arranged a small get together, I am guessing it probably slipped Alpha’s mind to tell you.” Ragon says still pushing Deimos as they get closer to the exit, Deimos struggling every step to fight Ragon.
“We will continue this tonight, Deimos!” I shout it to him with encouragement and with a chuckle as they both stop. Deimos straightens up the pout disappearing from his face as a smirk takes over and he looks back at Ragon.
“You heard my female and guess what you cannot stop us.” Deimos walks out with Ragon following with a chuckle.
Elriam enters inside shortly after and greets me with a bow. “I see you are here for me as well,” I ask her as she nods with a smile.
And so I spend the rest of the day busying myself with work surrounded by my females where I cannot think of anything else rather than answering their never-ending questions. The Luna’s of other packs tend to write their favours and petitions to me and I answer directly to them. The Alpha takes no part in these matters.
As light gives way to darkness and my females’ minds are finally satisfied they let me go. Getting up I stretch my limbs following Elriam out the door. Looking at the clock below the stairs, Deimos must be still working as it is only five pm.
“Elriam are you aware of the get-together? Who’s coming?” I ask her.
“Yes, Alpha. It’s just us I am guessing. Ragon arranged it so we all can get some sort of a break.” She says in reply.
“All right I am going to freshen up. Where are we meeting?” I ask her again.
“It’s in the woods, Alpha. Come back here when you are ready. I think Ragon and Alpha Deimos will bring you there. I know where it is as Ragon took me there before.” She replies as I nod and walk upstairs as the excitement grows within me.
Letting the warm water soothe my skin I wash my hair slowly massaging my scalp. My mind has taken enough hits for today. It surely needs a break. I get out of the shower at half-past five putting on blue jeans and a black shirt that stuck to me like a second skin.
I hurry down the stairs trying to put on my necklace. My eyes find Ragon and Deimos already there waiting for me. I walk up to Deimos as he stops his conversation softly kissing my forehead. “Hello, beautiful.” He whispers as I smile up to him.
“Hello, handsome,” I reply earning one of those rare full smiles from him. “Deimos can you help me put this necklace?” I ask him facing forward showing my back to him giving him the ends of the necklace so he can connect them.
“Let’s go shall we,” Ragon calls out.
“Wait a moment Ragon,” Deimos replies as he tries to put the hook into the hole. “Goddess, I never thought this would be the hardest thing I’d ever do.” He says as I chuckle.
As he finally puts it on Deimos nods to Ragon to lead and so we leave, taking a private trail into the woods. Deimos holds my hand walking forward as I follow behind him taking in the surroundings.
We follow Ragon deep inside until a small house comes into view. It was a triangular wooden house with glass panels as windows. There was a front porch as well with a small bench dining table and chairs.
“Wow.” Is the word that manages to escape my lips as Deimos smiles in response.
“I am guessing you like it.” He says as we head up the stairs into the house. I hear music softly playing in the background as laughter takes it over. The smell of freshly grilled meat makes me salivate, my wolf demanding her belly be filled.
Jace is grilling the meat as Elriam prepares the salad while sipping on a cup of red wine. Ragon heads to the music station to change up the song and Deimos throws fresh logs into the fire at the fireplace.
I look at the wolves around me and the house that I am in. My heart is high in joy and I am so happy that I am surrounded by those whom I love. Never in my life, I thought I would be able to attain this happiness.
“Open your mouth.” Deimos distracts me holding out a piece of meat in his hand. I open my mouth wide as he softly places it on my tongue the juice dripping down his fingers. As I munch on the small fatty piece of meat I lick the remains off his fingers savouring the taste. It is perfectly cooked.
“Can I have more?” I ask him looking back at the kitchen counter.
“Wait, my female. Only at their call will we eat properly.” He says and I nod.
Deimos and I sit on the couch in front of the fireplace. He slowly shifts his arm upwards indirectly telling me I can cuddle into him so I crawl onto his side placing my hand across his stomach and my head upon his beating heart.
I close my eyes enjoying the peaceful moment trying to pace my breaths with those of his. “I want to tell you something.” His deep voice vibrates through his chest hitting directly into my ears.
“Hmm?” I hum in question. Feeling his fingers playing with the strands of my hair I snuggle deeper into his warmth.
“I have been thinking lately. Really thinking and I figured one of the reasons I do not wish to take you yet is because I want us… I need us to conquer our souls before we possess our bodies.” He whispers as I shift my head so I can look up at him.
“Goddess, Deimos,” I say gently placing the palm of my hand on his heart.
“What’s the use of this bond if I cannot feel your soul, Lumina?” He questions me as I smile softly.
