I love that she is claiming me as fiercely as I’m claiming her. It didn’t escape my notice that instead of saying I’m yours’, she said ‘I’m hers’. When the mate bond snapped into place last night, I felt her fragile love for me grow, her unwavering trust in me. She feels safe and protected with me and damn if that didn’t make me feel good as a man. Knowing she trusts me to keep her feeling safe, protected and loved makes me swell with pride that my mate wants me as her mate and partner. I will be damn if I let anyone screw with that, I’ll rip their throats out first.
I loved her coming undone under me this morning. Pinning her into submission was hot as fuck and it was even better when she willingly gave me her submission. I have so many more things I’m going to show her and I wonder what little desires I will unlock in her when I do.
We make our way to the dining hall. My mate smells heavily of me. The possessive Alpha in me is glad she is no longer unmated and unmarked. She’s mine. It’s my mark and my scent on her and it’s going to stay that way.
We enter the dining hall and as I guide my now marked mate, I pull out her chair and make sure she is settled before taking my seat. Renz and Lacy are also sitting at the table. Lacy squeaks and Renz slaps me on the shoulder. “Those are some nice marks Alpha and Luna. Congratulations!” Renz says smiling.
“Rebel, we are so talking later!” Lacy is practically jumping at her chair.
Other pack members are now whispering and we slowly hear clapping and then cheering. I look to Rebel and she is blushing. My mate is a fierce fighter and demanding minx and still shy at receiving attention. She is so cute.
I stand up and waving my hand signaling everyone to calm down. “Okay, okay, everyone. Thank you, all for the well wishes. As everyone can clearly see, this beautiful woman is very much mine.” With that comments I heard some chuckling and saw others smirking. Who knew the pack would be so happy for us? Either way, I continue, ” I haven’t spoken in great detail yet with my mate, but I want to solidify her position here in our pack further by holding a Luna Ceremony in a week’s time.”
Everyone roared with happiness and cheering for Rebel and me. The pack is happy to finally have a Luna after so many years of waiting. I look at Rebel and I feel through our bond that she is overwhelmed with emotion. She isn’t use to receiving this much attention so I decide to wrap up the announcement. “I will let everyone know soon the exact day and time and we will celebrate when the day comes. Thank you everyone.”
I sit back down and kiss Rebel on her temple. I can feel she is uncertain. She looks at me and asks, “What is a Luna Ceremony?”
Before I answer, Lacy interrupts, “Girl, I got you! Alpha, if it’s okay, I would love to help Rebel. I will organize the whole thing. I will go over everything with her too. Rebel already has the dress. We bought it yesterday.”
I look at Rebel an ask her, “Do you want Lacy to explain it and help organize it darling?”
I feel the relief radiate from her aura and she nods, saying, “I would very much appreciate the help. I have never organized something like this before.” Grabbing Lacy’s hand like a lifeline, “Thank you Lacy. I could use all the

Renz then changes subject, “Alpha we still need to question the rogue.
“That’s right! I’m coming with you.” Rebel looked at me and interjected before I could say anything.
I open a mind link to Rebel, Renz and Lacy. ‘I want Rebel with us. She tells me that her wolf is gifted and is a mix of a lie detector test and a truth serum in one.’
‘Yup, Roxie and I can get the truth out of the rogue and find out what’s going on. Then Lacy and I can start planning the Luna Ceremony.’ Rebel says
‘Back up, Roxie is gifted and you are only now just telling me this? Girl, we are so talking.’ Lacy says.
I roll my eyes. ‘Lacy, no using Roxie’s gift for mischief. Behave!’ I scold her, partially laughing at her when I see her pout. Even Renz in laughing at her.
“Leave it to my mate to go looking for trouble” Renz says laughing.
I break up the comedy show and take Rebel by the hand. I signal to Renz that we need to get started on the rogue. He kisses his mate and we start making our way to the dungeon where he is being kept.
Rebel’s demeanor changes and it looks like Roxie is now in control. “Roxie?” I ask, “Is everything alright?”
“Yes mate. You need me here right now. Not Rebs.” Roxie says and her demeanor and aura is strange. Almost like she is emitting something powerful. It feels like Alpha energy, which is strange.
“Have you done this before, or do you just know you can?” I ask her.
“Does it matter?” She raises an eyebrow at me. “By the way, when I’m doing my thing, you and Renz need to be behind me. Do not stand to the side or in front. The fall back is a bitch if you don’t.”
I raise an eyebrow, “What do you mean? You know I’m a powerful and strong Alpha, right?”
She smirks, “You know I’m moon goddess blessed, right?”
I chuckle, “You and Rebel are definitely the sassiest women I know. I’m getting tagged teamed over here.”
“Don’t worry, Alpha, we’ll go easy on you.” She says, my mouth thins at the sarcasm when she says Alpha and at that Renz starts laughing.
“Roxie, we are going to be best friends.” Renz starts teasing, but his teasing is directed to me. Bastard.
We reach the cell where the Rogue is being held. He is chained with silver chains to the wall. I open the cell and walk in, followed by Renz and then my mate. I harden my gaze and push my aura out to the rogue.
“What’s your name?” I start with the rogue. “Fuck you!” he growls.
I narrow my eyes. “I have a mate for that, so no thank you. Your name.” I demanded, pushing out my aura again. He is buckling at the strength of my aura, “Rodney!” he growls.
“Lie.” Roxie quietly said behind me.
I looked at the rogue, “We are off to a bad start if you can’t give me your name.” I told him. He looked at my
Bracter d mate, “Carter.” He says, looking down.
“True” Roxie spoke again. She doesn’t stop looking at this rogue. Her head tilts, but she stays quiet. It’s just as intimidating as my aura being pushed out. Interesting.
“Why did so many of you come to our pack last night?” I ask him. “I would suggest you tell me the truth, we will know if you are lying.”
“Money. Your pack has it, we wanted it. We got together and teamed up to take you out.” He sneered.
“Lie.” Roxie said. This surprised me. Most people were usually after the pack’s wealth.
