== Enna’s POV ==

The party was amazing, of course, we mourned our losses, some more than others, but it really felt like family. All here to support each other, all there to welcome new members, including me, officially now.

I flew from group to group, meeting new people, being introduced by Simon, his hand never leaving my side, my hand or the small of my back. He was taking his duties very seriously, talking to everyone, but his eyes darted every so often back to me, flashing me a smile. Every time, my heart swell and I could feel my cheek blush.

With all of that mate-thing and fighting, I had nearly forgotten to fall in love with him, but I did. I wanted to see him every morning when I woke up, and fall asleep next to him every night. I loved how much he cared, not for me to look or act like a Luna, but just for me. Me, with my scars, my doubts, my fears, and my bird alter-ego. He was kind and caring, and extremely handsome. He was mine, and I wanted it to be for eternity.

“You should stop looking at me like that” he murmured to me, kissing the top of my head softly.

“What am I looking at you like?” I asked, a smile fluttering up.

“Like I’m the light of this world” he chuckled, wrapping his arms around me to hug me closer.

“But you are my light” I answered, stretching up to kiss the side of his jaw. He growled lowly, turning his head to kiss my lips softly, but he pulled back a little.

“I think we should keep it down…there are a lot of people around, and I’m the Alpha” he said with a very unconvincing smile.

“You have a reputation to uphold to” I agreed, kissing him again.

“And guests to greet…” he answered, kissing me back.

“The Moon Goddess forbid, you could take the rest of the evening off” I said.

“That would be, terribly, irresponsible” he chuckled, kissing me again.

I pulled back, making my way out of his arms. “Well, I’m going to be terribly irresponsible for the rest of the night, I don’t know about you” I said, before pushing my way thought the crowd.

I greeted a few people on my way inside the house, but I was able to sneak in, making my way upstairs, to our bedroom. It was on the other side of the house from the party, and no one was inside as the whole things was happening outside.

== Simon’s POV ==

I was able to excuse myself, and followed Enna’s scent. She was in our bedroom, I could hear her in there. “Enna?” I called, as I opened the door. She was standing near the bathroom’s door, her face a little flushed and she bit her bottom lip.

“What are you up to?” I asked, taking a few steps inside the room. She pressed her lips together, then smiled, before moving to the bed, the light material of the silk robe flying behind her, and climbing on it.

She kneeled at the center of the bed, keeping her eyes away from me. I didn’t move, my breath stuck in my throat. She looked amazing, her long curly hair messily arranged around her face, her silk kimono in a blue that complimented her skin tone, and the sun set casting the last shadows into the room.

She gazed up, her strange eyes capturing mine. They were big, and bright but betrayed her shyness, also visible in the pink hue of her cheeks. She moved her hands slowly to the belt of her robe, untying the knot and letting the fabric slide on her body with a little shrug.

She was glorious. Kneeling on the bed in her bare essentials. She was utterly beautiful and even that couldn’t cover it. She took her hair, pulling them on one side of her head, uncovering her throat.

“Enna?” I finally managed to ask, my body aroused but my mind confused.

“Mark me” she simply said. Her voice was determined but low, as if she meant it but couldn’t believe she was actually saying it. I stepped forward, now standing at the side of the bed. She looked even better from that close.

“I told you I would wait if you needed…” I started saying but she shot up, pulling me closer, capturing my lips. The kiss was needy, as if she was trying to communicate all of the want she had for me.

“I want this” she finally said after pulling back. “I’m ready’ she added, her forehead resting on mine, her eyes so close and so determined.

I wasn’t going to make her beg for it. I kissed her back, as needy as she had been. I laid her back on the bed, her body dancing under my fingers. I wanted to know everything and all of her. She was mine.

And she would be mine forever.
