“Are you ready for tomorrow?” Kami asked Mat and I, “And your parents too, Mat?”

“Tomorrow is easy for us, we’re just joining a new pack. Aly’s the one who has to go through all the hoopla.”

“Thanks Mat, I can feel the love. Am I ready for all the hoopla, as Mattie put it, no. I dislike hoopla. However; I am 100% ready to join this pack.”

“And to become Luna,” Tristan added with a grin.

“Is anyone ever truly ready to take on that role? Sure we do it, but Luna’s usually aren’t trained their entire life for the role like Alpha’s are. We know who the next Alpha’s will be, Luna’s are a surprise. I’m happy to be in the role by your side, but I’m not sure I’m ready for it yet.” I answered honestly.

“I promise, you will be amazing. Mother will help you until you’re more confident in what you’re doing and she will always be there for advice if you need it. As will Father and myself.” He leaned over and kissed me softly, earning a few catcalls and ‘ooohs’ and ‘aaahhs’ from the crowd. I returned his kiss, once again feeling glares on me, but I didn’t care.

“Thank you. It means a lot to have your faith in me. I love you.” I whispered as I pulled away from our kiss.

“I love you too, and I know you will be amazing at everything you do.”

“I’m going to need you two to get a room, your sweetness is making me lose my appetite.” Kami teased.

“We have one.” I pointed out, with a shrug at her. Tristan growled appreciatively at me, pulling me into his side. The tingles his touch caused, caused a shiver to course through my body and his growl was suddenly much more seductive, I sent him a mind-link, “Down boy… Later. I promise.”

“Keep it up and you guys won’t make it to your room.” Mat snickered at us.

“Jealous much?” I asked him.

“Bitch, yes I am. I can’t wait to meet my mate.” He gave me some sass and I laughed at him.

“I’m sure you’ll find him soon.”

“The entire pack will be at Alyce’s ceremony tomorrow and we have invited both Dark Forest and Snow Moon, so some of them may show up as well, but if your mate is in Moonlight, you will likely know tomorrow.”

“Wait… If they’re in another pack, how will that work? Will he join this one or will Mat have to leave?” There was a little worry in my voice, I didn’t want Mat to leave, he was Tristan’s Beta, and would be mine as well. Truth was it was likely we would combine the packs when I got Silver Moon back, but we would deal with that later.

“In a same sex mating, usually whoever has the lower rank would be the one to move, but with Mat essentially being Beta twice over, they would be hard pressed to take him from us anyway.”

“Mate or not, I’m not leaving Aly.”

I smiled at Mat, “I wouldn’t expect you to stay here if you needed to leave with your mate Mattie, I do actually have a heart, despite Red Moon’s opinion.”

“I know, but you’re family.”

“I’m sure it will all work out and no one will have to choose between anyone.” Tristan said.

“You’re right, besides, I’ll kick him out myself if I have to to keep him from making a stupid choice.”

Mat scoffed at me, Kami was laughing and Tristan was rolling his eyes while I stared Mat down until he gave in without another word and went back to eating.

“You really are a damn Alpha,” Kami was laughing.

I shrugged a bit and tore into my food with a grin. “No idea what you’re talking about Kami.”

“Mmhmm. Sure you don’t.” She mumbled through a mouthful of chicken.

We laughed and chatted while we ate, Kami excusing herself when she finished as she needed her ‘beauty sleep’ for tomorrow. Mat also excused himself when he finished, making some excuse about training early in the morning. I gave him a suspicious look as he left the dining area in a hurry.

“Those two are up to something… At least Mat is…” I murmured.

“Eh, let them think they’re sneaky.” He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into his lap. He kissed my neck, just below my ear, “We have better things to focus on tonight.” He whispered in my ear.

I blushed, the tone and depth of his voice seeping straight to my core, my arousal pooling in my panties in an instant. I blushed, hiding my face against him. We were in the middle of the dining room and I knew everyone else would be able to smell it as well.

He laughed at me, “Come on you.” Next thing I knew I was thrown over his shoulder with a squeal.

He was laughing harder and I was smacking his back, “Put me down you brute!” I was laughing as I yelled at him, so he wasn’t even remotely taking me seriously.

“I will, when we get to the bedroom.” His laughter filled the dining hall, the rest of the pack was laughing at us as well. The Alpha and Luna set the tone for the rest of the pack. If we were happy and having a good time, so was the rest of the pack. I put my elbow on his back, propping my chin on my hand as I glared at the rest of the pack, “Whose side are y’all on anyway?” I yelled at them with a laugh as Tristan carried me out the dining hall before they could answer, headed for the stairs.

He took the stairs two at a time and I wiggled my ass at him, basically right in his face. He growled and smacked my ass. Instantly my arousal peaked again, so I returned the favor, reaching down and smacking his ass right back with a playful growl. We were up the stairs faster than I thought possible and he was practically running down the hall to our room, flinging the door open and shutting it behind us.

He threw me on the bed, coming down with me and settling himself between my legs. His lips smashed against mine and I kissed him back with a fevered passion. I buried my fingers in his hair, gripping it tight. One of his hands was under my neck, holding me to him, the other was running up and down one of my thighs.

I moaned a little and pressed myself into him, I could feel his hardened length pressing against me. I bit his bottom lip, coaxing a moan mixed with a growl from him. His hand left my thigh, undoing my jeans and tugging them down. At least he didn’t rip them off, we had just bought them after all. I brought my hands from his hair, trailing them down his chest to the hem of his shirt, pulling it off his body so I could trail my fingers along the lines of his muscles, leaving sparks in their wake. His body lowered on mine and I felt his lips trailing kisses along my thighs, heard him draw in a deep breath, scenting me and my arousal. He let out a primal growl, pulling my panties to the side, burying his nose in my sex. His tongue darted out, running along my skin lightly, teasing me. I let out a mewling moan, squirming under him a bit. I wanted more, needed more.

He tore my panties off my legs, apparently they were in his way and he had no patience left. His tongue dove into my folds, tasting me in a slow teasing fashion. When he found my bundle of nerves he focused his attention on it, once again causing me to squirm and moan. His arm came up, holding me still as he licked and sucked, causing pleasure to build in me. He slid a finger into me and that nearly made me come undone. My hips were moving in rhythm with his hand as he pumped his finger in and out of me, curling it to hit my g-spot. It didn’t take but a couple minutes before I was over the edge screaming in pleasure I flew into the clouds, riding the high of my orgasm.

He slowed his motions, but didn’t stop, drawing it out and then letting me come down from it. His finger slid out of me and licked up my juices like they were the best thing on earth. Eventually he kissed up my body, ridding me of the rest of my clothing as he did so. His lips found mine and I could still taste faint traces of myself on his lips. My hands were busy trying to get him out of his jeans as fast as I could, a bit of a frustrated growl coming from me before I finally managed to get them undone, sliding them down his hips and legs along with his boxers.

I could tell he was trying not to be too amused by my needy frustration. He came back down, caging me with his arms as he kissed me again, trailing kisses from my lips to the hickey he had left on my neck, teasing it with the tip of his tongue. My head rolled back involuntarily at the sensation sent through my body from his tongue on my marking spot. He kissed back up to my lips, capturing them in his as he lined himself up with my entrance, sheathing himself in me fully. I rolled my hips with his, both of us a hot mess of grunts, moans and pleasure.

His arms wrapped around me, holding me to him as he rolled us both, putting me on the top and holding my hips. I let him guide my movements, my hands coming to rest on his chest as I supported myself. He kept hold of my hips, slamming himself in and out of me. It felt like he was going deeper in this position, hitting parts of me I didn’t think possible. We were both sweating, but neither of us cared. I grinned and slid myself up, nearly off of him, teasing him a little before I slammed back down onto him. I earned a pleasure-filled moan from him and I did it a few more times before my own pleasure once again started to build and I couldn’t focus enough to keep teasing him.

He pulled me down onto him, holding me there so that he was buried in me and one of his hands slid to the front, his thumb finding that bundle of nerves and teasing it in a circular motion. That was it, that was all it took for me to come undone. He pulled me forward so I was laying on his chest and kissed me, exploring my mouth with his tongue. I moaned, convulsing against him as my orgasm shook me. He thrust roughly into me once or twice more before releasing his seed deep inside me with a loud roar of pleasure.
