Moments

it had been 2 weeks since we found out about indigo's pregnancy and everything had managed to calm down and it had been peaceful so far however tonight was the night that our pack would take down Zane as the council deemed fit however I had heard no news about my family they told us they were still looking the entire pack house was silent the nerves running through the air. Astraea and I had been sitting in her office since we woke up neither of us saying anything but we both knew the dangers of everything that would be going on and I get worried for everyone in the pack who would have to fight for me because I was hurt and no matter how much I tried to persuade Alex to go without the violence for this nothing would change her mind and it didn't help my wolf's desire for Zane's blood. I look up from the piece of art that I was drawing it was her wolf wrapped around my own and I blushed as I realised what I had drawn my mind was in a spiral and it as hard to snap out of it.

"What have you drawn Emmy?"

I see her question as I hide my face behind the sketch book a deep rosy colour sprayed across my face and she chuckles before pushing away from her desk and slowly walking over to me and she holds out her hands for me to place the sketch book in her hands and I do as a tinge of embarrassment comes across my chest and I turn back as she stays silent but I only see her staring at the drawing with her mouth opening and closing. She is clearly at a loss for words and I smile at this and decide to stand before walking up to her and putting my two fingers under her chin and pushing her mouth closed and at this her eyes snap to mine and she throws the drawing onto the couch and pushes me against the door her arms either side of my head and due to her height I have to look up to see her properly and as I do I see her eyes the colour of her wolf symbolising her wolf's appearance and I smile before leaning up slightly and placing kisses across her incredibly defined jawline and I smirk as she lets out a groan mixed with a growl and I continue down her neck to the place I would eventually place my mark and my wolf growls for me to do it and I hold her back to the best of my abilities until she takes over and my own eyes glow and I'm pushed to the dark corner of my mind and I try grabbing my wolf's attention however it doesn't work as our canines grow and scrape gently across her neck and she shudders in response tilting her head slightly so we can gain more access to her neck and we start kissing along her neck until we reach the spot that makes her stiffen and let out a breathless groan and I watch as my wolf sinks our teeth into that exact spot and Alex suddenly stiffens and she wraps an arm around our waist and buries her other hand in our hair keeping us pressed into her neck until she lets out a moan and releases her grip allowing us to move back and in that moment Kenna steps back allowing me control as we lick up the blood that surrounds our mark and I can't help but smirk at it proudly and she rests us against the door her head weak in exhaustion so I pull her over to the couch and we lay on it and i try to grab the blanket however she keeps her arms firmly locked around my waist and i sigh laying back down but she suddenly flips us and I'm laying with my back on the col couch with her head on my chest and i let out a quiet laugh before moving my hands to play with her hair and i run my fingers through the length and i feel her purr in response and i smile at the sound as she begins to fall asleep and i hear her breaths even out and her heart rate slows so i carefully move pulling the blanket over us and i lay my head back on the sofa and i sigh in relief in how much my life has changed sue to the perfect woman who is laying in my arms and eventually i drift off into a peaceful nap but i'm woken up by someone briskly knocking on the office door so i open my eyes and see my mat still fast asleep and hasn't stirred at the sound so i decide to go myself and after i untangle myself from her arms i walk over it to see Atlas standing at the door with a nervous look on his face and he gives a nervous smile and looks around me for my mate and he smiles and shakes his head as he sees her still sleeping on the couch so i open the door wider and let him in assuming he wants to talk and i go to wake up my mate but he grabs my arm and shakes his head so instead i motion for him to follow me and we make our way out of the office and into the library across from us and we both sit on the arm chairs across from one and other. For just a moment its completely silent until he breaks it

"This is the happiest and most relaxed I've seen my sister in a very long time" he says genuinely smiling at me and i see a look of almost jealously flash through his eyes at the fact she has her mate he continues "You make her so happy you know, you're quite literally the only thing she talks about she really loves you even if she doesn't say it"

i smile at the thought of love and i think do i love her is it too soon no its not she is my soulmate the one i'm supposed to be with forever and i do I love her i sit back for a moment before responding

"She is everything to me and i do. love her i mean she saved me and i owe my life to her because she makes me happy the happiest I've been for as long as i can remember" I say smiling thinking of my mate who lay asleep after receiving my mark "She is my heart, my soul and my entire world" I say and at this i see tears building in his eyes and i reach over and place my hand on his knee and he looks up at me

"Do you think I'll find her?" He asks me and i feel a sadness bloom over my chest "My mate i mean it's been so long alone with only a few people"

I look up at him a determined look on my face "Your sister found me didn't she, so it's obvious you will find yours" I watch in pain as a single tear rolled down his face

"What if she's...W... What if she is dead?" He asks looking lost so i bring him into my arms.

"You'll find her Atlas, I'm sure she is out there thinking the same thing "I say as he lets out a few tears of loneliness as the life filled with loneliness due to not having his mate and as i sit in silence him upset in my arms and at this moment i hear a very possessive growl and i immediately know it's my mate as i finally take in her scent and we can both feel the anger rolling off her in waves so Atlas slowly pulls back and wipes the tears away from under his eyes.

I see my mates eyes falter at her twins sadness and she slowly walks over to us and i can see her still annoyed at the close proximity of her mate and someone else but she hides that as she sits with Atlas and they begin to talk so i shift uncomfortably trying not to ruin their sibling moment and eventually i make the decision to slip away and just in that moment as i shut the door i see a very burly man walk around the corner and i panic as he continues to walk up to me but my problems dissolve as he gives off a warm smile and bows his head in respect.

"Luna" He says respectfully "Do you know where the Alpha is?" He never fully looks into my eyes and i smile at the respect which i am unaccustomed to due to the event with James. I nod my head before speaking

"She is having a talk with her brother so if you would please just wait in her office for her and i will send her through" I say my voice at a steady and calm pace ad he nods before making his way into the office across and I walk back into the library to see her and Atlas laughing at something so i simply stand for a moment leaning my head up against the door frame for just a moment but i see her eyes flicker towards me and i over hear saying goodbye before walking over to me and Atlas walks out the door giving me a simple smile but Alex stands with her arms crossed in front of me a smirk lay across her face.

"what do you need Emmy?" She asks her eyes lingering over my mark.

"There is a guy who needs you i sent him into your office to wait" i say my eyes looking at my shoes and she gives a chuckle before grabbing my hand and walking us into her office and she sits in her chair across from the man and she pulls me into her lap her face buried in my hair before she looks up at the man and the conversations begins but i struggle to pay attention as she keeps rubbing her fingers up and down my thigh and her nose rubs along my neck as they talk about tonight and at the thought of that i still and tense. Alex realises so she places her hand in mine and squeezes until i can finally relax and i begin to focus back onto the conversation to hear them talking about the final preparations for tonight and eventually he bids us goodbye and heads off to finish preparations for the night and so i turn to Alex my eyes watching my hands as i fiddle, tears building in my eye as i start to think of all the things that could go wrong how my mate could get hurt and there was nothing i could do to stop it. I can tell she can sense my anxiousness as she reaches to my hands and grabs them and starts drawing little patterns on my hands until i calm and eventually i decide we should go eat dinner with the pack before the warriors get ready to set off so i stand

"Come on "I say nudging her side "Let's go eat with our pack" she takes my outstretched hand and a glint of pride flashes across her eyes at the fact that i called it our pack and we both stand and make our way into the dining hall. The entire pack is seated and chatting happily with empty plates sat in front of them however there is still a thick cloud of fear hanging over the room and they bow their heads as we walk past. We take a seat at the head of the room at the long table in the centre and immediately a few of the packs omegas comes over to us serving us first and we wait until everyone is served and then we all dig in and i moan at the amazing tastes of the spicy chicken and everything else on my plate and after we had all eaten, my mate stands from her seat clinking her knife against her glass and the pack draw their attention to her.

"My pack this is close to the time that we will take revenge on those who wronged our Luna and I would like to thank everyone for standing by us as we take this stand" And with this she takes her seat but she looks at me and I show her my thanks through my eyes with shine with pride and hope.
