Though he was keeping his advances chaste in front of their company his gaze promised much more.

“Beta Luke!”
“Alpha William,” Luke nodded greeting to the alpha of Winter Moon.
They were close allies so he was a familiar sight. William was rather short for an alpha barely clearing five-seven while most alphas easily reached over six feet. This did not mean William was a pushover, the exact opposite in fact.
His complex about his height made the alpha even more serious about his training. Even when they took their matches seriously Jason only managed to stay on an even-keel with the other.
“You remember Camilla,” William said as he assisted the she wolf out of the vehicle.
Luke nodded trying to keep back a grimace. He was no stranger to the female who had been William’s companion for several years. She boasted a voluptuous form with large breasts that appealed to a lot of wolves. In heels she was several inches taller than William though in actuality
Luke believed them to be the same height.
Luke was not fond of her as she was cut from the same mold as Katrina. Both were lazy despite coming from upper ranks and both were looking for alpha mates not caring what the Moon Goddess intended. Luke now knew Katrina rejected her rightful mate in her pursuit of Jason and he wondered if Camilla had done the same. He certainly wouldn’t put it past her. In all the time he knew her she never seemed concerned with finding her fated mate. There was a time Camilla even showed interest in Jason though she didn’t have the guts to challenge Katrina.
“Your usual room has been prepared,” Luke said, “dinner is still several hours away so please feel free to relax.”
“Ah yes,” William hesitated. “Tell me. Is it true? Did Jason finally find his mate?”
“He did,” Luke smiled. “I was there to witness it myself.”
“Then Blue Moon finally has a proper Luna, eh?”
“It does indeed and I’ve never felt the pack bonds stronger.”
“I can’t wait to meet her,” William nodded and made his way inside. Like most he knew how long Jason had searched and waited foregoing all relationships in the meantime.
Tonight was certain to be one of many surprises.
Luke was certain the entire weekend would be full of surprises for their guests. The Luna Ceremony wasn’t for another two days but Jason was using it as an excuse for an alpha meeting as well since so many were gathering.
Tonight was only a mixer of sorts for them to greet each other in an informal setting as well as introduce Phoebe and the pups. Tomorrow the alphas would meet formally and Jason hoped to unveil the new healing balm as long as the Harvest Moon alpha made his appearance.
The third day would culminate in the Luna Ceremony and a moonlit run led by the new Alpha and Luna. Jason said Phoebe’s wolf was speaking to her and he was certain she would be able to shift. That in and of itself was something to celebrate considering what they now knew about her past. They worried she might have difficulties during her shift but the few times Jason broached the conversation
Phoebe gave no hint of it being an issue.
What worried her was remembering the names of all the Alphas, Lunas and Betas invited to the event. It was a worry Jason found laughable since she had no difficulty recalling any pack member she was introduced to even if it was only a quick hello.
Luke turned as the next vehicle arrived noting its occupants and greeting them. As he ushered them inside and a pack member parked their car he linked Jason, “No sign of Harvest Moon yet.”
“Let me know as soon as they arrive,” Jason closed the link.
He leaned back in his chair. With the Council’s tactful approval he was eager to begin negotiations. He had only met the Harvest Moon alpha once or twice before. From what he recalled the alpha was a tall, lanky wolf but quick and suitably stubborn. His luna was more amicable and cooperative so he hoped she could convince her mate to work with them.
“There, you are,” Lucille said entering without knocking. “
You do realize there is a party going on.”
“Not for a few more hours.”
“Well, you have to get ready too, you know. It doesn’t look good if you are late to your own party.”
“It doesn’t take that long.”
Lucille snorted, “Right, I forgot males are so easy. Fine, well.
Head up whenever. Mom and I are getting Phoebe and the kids ready in her suite so you’ll have yours all to yourself.”
“Why in mother’s suite?”
“So you can’t sneak a peek at your precious Luna until the party,” Lucille smirked. “If we let the two of you get ready together you’ll never make an appearance.”
Jason frowned
“I mean, I know mates are all over each other but you two have been like rabbits.”
Jason felt his face warm.
“Don’t worry. We’ll take care of her. Just don’t get so caught up in work you forget to join us.”
Jason grunted as his sister departed. She had a point.
Every time he saw Phoebe he could barely contain himself and Lobo was no help filling his mind with all sorts of lewd ideas. Try as he might he had no self-control as soon as he caught her scent.
And despite her inexperience Phoebe didn’t seem able or willing to deny him. She accepted him heart, soul and body and seemed to crave him as much as he craved her. They had lost their inhibitions surprisingly fast trying new positions each night all equally satisfying though he had his favorites. The only position he had no interest in was her going down on him. He didn’t like anything that focused on his own gratification. He preferred their bodies grinding together in perfect rhythm.
Even now the thought was enough to stir him. Jason growled at himself and sighed. Somehow he had to marshal his control tonight…at least until they returned to their bedroom. Lobo was already wagging his tail in anticipation. Jason tried to shake the thoughts away and focused on work
Time passed more quickly than he realized. When he looked at the clock he had less than an hour to get ready.
Cursing himself he closed his laptop and hurried to his room jumping in the shower. When he emerged and stepped into the closet, he had a moment of panic, not knowing what Phoebe was wearing. He didn’t want to clash nor appear too formal. Finally, he settled on his customary black silk shirt and trousers before heading down.

“Where are you brother?”
“Work ran late. I’m on my way down now.”
