Wolves of Lockincester

I look down at myself briefly and notice I was stark naked. I shriek and subconsciously snatch a blanket from midair that was being thrown in my direction from an unknown source.

"Alright now that we got that covered...Alex. Do you remember a little girl you used to play with long dark brown hair and freckles across the face?" Kelly asks urgently standing up and facing a covered naked Alex as well.

Before Alex answers our eyes meet for the briefest of seconds, but in that couple of seconds a spark seems to light like a rope that was a tethered flame around us and a voice screams in my head, but before I could ponder the voice he looks away and concentrates on what Kelly is asking.

"Y-yes. I asked my parents about her and they told me I imagined her." Alex says as he ways back and forth.

As they seem locked in conversation I took that time to let my eyes sweep over Alex's visible frame. Alex seemed to tower over my five-foot-six-inch frame and his face was set. His eyes looked at Kelly sharp and cold, set in concentration and had a hard edge to it.

His hair was short, but not too short and dark. His eyes were dark as well but had light green flecks in them I could see from this far. His face framed well but what screamed at me was the emotional scars that seemed etched on his face.

"That was a lie because that little girl was me. I was taken at four years old and was raised by my mother in a small cottage in the woods on the outskirts of Lockincester. My mother and your mother once got along, but then a law went through that no matter under any circumstance you are allowed to have an affair with a mated male, let alone an Alpha. Camille was banished from Lockincester but wanted to stay close, she died months ago but made me promise to protect you and help you wage war against the rogues. Werewolves, Hunters and Vampires alike. All of us." Kelly says as she throws her arms out wide.

"Verity." Kelly pauses as she turns to me.

"You're his mate, which means you're his soulmate. That scent. That feeling you probably smell and feel is what they call the matebond. But because you were bitten by a rogue you don't need a special drink to turn you into a wolf, that drink also enables you to have a mate. Alex Moon is an Alpha which means you're his Luna, meaning the female leader of the werewolves of Lockincester." Kelly says.

Alex and I look at each other again and I feel instant sparks fly down my arms and my gut twists tightly with an unknown feeling.

I put one foot hesitantly in front of me and place it slowly down on the floor, our eyes still locked on one another. Before I knew what I was doing I was walking toward Alex and just as I reach Alex Kelly begins to speak again.

"Alpha Moon, Verity is a Tribrid which means your mate bond will be extremely hard to resist, although you must not consummate or finish your mate bond at any given time before the special drink and Alpha/Luna ceremony has taken place. You may embrace or kiss but do not you know." Kelly says and giggles.

"So...I don't understand. Why would my parents keep us apart even though your mother was banished?" Alex says just as I reach him.

As soon as I walk right into Alex's embrace and feel the hard warm muscle underneath the blanket, it was like a bomb exploded when our bodies touched.

When our skin connects sparks fly everywhere we touch and our hands instinctively wove around each other. My hand went around his back and up around his shoulder crushing his top half to me and Alex's hands go around my neck and in my hair just breathing in my scent.

I was doing the same thing, digging my nose in his neck inhaling deeply and feeling the roar of the tribrid vibrating through my body when I rest my head on Alex's chest.

Mint and pine seemed to surround and flood my senses and the scent was enough to drive me insane but also calm me down altogether. The smell seemed to turn my muscles into liquid and melt my body into puddie as I cave into his arms.

"My beautiful Luna." Alex says against me and I smile in response to his words.

I knew very little of everything but the sound of the word Luna coming from his lips was enough to make my toes curl.

I pull away from the embrace and cast my eyes upwards as hard as it was not to I had to. I keep my eyes fixated on the exposed skin my eyes trailed up.

I tilt my head up and glance upwards just in time to see Alex's lips curl up into a genuine smile as he lifts up a hand slowly.

My eyes pop open wide when I feel Alex's warm hand on my chin and grip it lightly with his fingetips and drew me near, pulling me towards him. His breath fans across my face and my breath hitches as he leans his face the other half of the way.

Our lips connect and the sparks fly around us and on my skin again as we move our mouths and the sparks intensify as Alex steps closer.

The goosebumps ripple across my skin as the sparks turn to a burning pulsation and I lean up on my tiptoes applying more urgency to the kiss.

Alex lets go of my chin and instead pulls me gently but also roughly around the waist and our lips fully press against one another as a gasp escapes my mouth before they curve up into a smile and a giggle passes between my lips.

I pull away and I am reminded by the cold chill of the absence of Alex's warmth where I was and what I had just done. My cheeks get hot and I know I'm blushing like crazy and I cast my eyes down while fidgeting with my fingers.

"Verity Reid, welcome to the wolves of Lockincester my Luna."
