Chapter 15 — The Right Moment

One Month Later…

“I’m sorry to see you leave?” My boss Erick says to me.

I nod my head, “I am too, but my home is back in Moon River, and I have new duties and expectations that need to be filled. I just wanted to thank you for giving me an opportunity here and how much I enjoyed working at the museum.”

“It will not be the same without you. But I understand, and congratulations on the Luna position. They are lucky to have you as their Luna.”

My heart squeezed hearing the endearing words from my boss. I gave him one more hug before leaving. I went to my office and made sure that I didn’t forget anything. I took a deep breath as I turned the light off and closed the door. Closing the chapter of this part of my life and excited to start the next one.

Walking out of the Museum I look up to see Dom leaning against the Beast with his hands in his pockets. I smile at him as I make my way down the steps to him and stand right in front of him. He pulls one of his hands and wraps his arm around me.

“All set?” He asks as he kisses me on my forehead.

I nod my head but stay quiet.

He leans his forehead against mine, “Are you okay?”

I nod again but he can feel my emotions.

He let out a sigh before saying, “Do you want to wait a little longer before we move you to my pack?”

I shook my head no and pushed myself back so that I could look into his eyes when I say, “No, absolutely not. It has been so difficult this last month being away from each other. It’s just sad to go. But I know moving in with you and making the bond official is going to be the best thing for us. I don’t have any doubts whatsoever.”

He lets out a relieved breath.

“I know and thank you for being so patient with me and not pressuring me to leave quickly and being able to give them enough notice of my leaving. I know this has been the most difficult for you,” I tell him.

“I just want you to be happy,” he says as he gives me a chaste kiss. “Come on, I would like to get to the pack land before dark,” he says as he opens the beast’s car door and lets me in.

I take a deep breath after I got situated in the passenger seat. Goodbye old life, it’s time to start the new chapter of my life with Dom and becoming Luna of his pack. I am a little nervous about all this. But at the same time, I am eager to learn all the duties of being Luna and see what else I can add and hopefully changes I can make that will be right for the pack. His pack had about a hundred wolves in his pack. It was a good size pack, and the bond is strong. They are very loyal to Dom.

Dom opens the driver side door and slides in. He looks over at me as he runs his hand up and down my cheek, I lean into his touch enjoying the tingles that his touch sends pulsing throughout my body.

He lets out a rumble in his chest as he gives me his devilish grin and starts the car. I shake my head at him, knowing he enjoys teasing me.

I turn up the radio as he pulls away from the curb.

“TM really? We have to listen to your angry chick music,” he says while he gives me a look of disgust.

“Woah, did you just dis my eighties girl rock? Pull over, you do not deserve to drive the beast if you are going to criticize my music.”

“Hey woah don’t get crazy, I was simply teasing you and was wondering if you would at least play something not so angry if you wouldn’t mind.”

I slide over in the seat to sit right next to him and lay my head on his shoulder as I shuffle through the music finding something more fitting for the drive home. Home still feels weird to call his pack my home. Hopefully they will accept me. Dom’s mom Audra was happy to see me again and is very excited that we had found each other. She is not that crazy about Ofelia, which made me feel relieved. It would have been extremely awkward if his mom was rooting for Ofelia.

Speaking of Ofelia, she has not been happy at all about this sudden change and is making it very difficult for Dom to keep the peace treaty with her pact intact. There have been several rogues’ sightings coming from her part of the land and have been causing discord and pushing more warriors to patrol those lines and leaving us vulnerable in other areas. Luckily with Sam as the Alpha of my old pack we know that we can always lean on them if we need assistance.

I was standing by the window in our room lost in thought when I felt Dom wrap his arms around me. His scent immediately filled my lungs, and I felt a calm rush over me.

“You know what I think would be a good idea?” He says in my ear.

“Hmm”

“I think you need a night out with the girls.” He suggested.

I leaned up to look at him.

“Where did that come from?” I ask him.

“Nowhere, you just seem a little down and thought that maybe hanging with the girls from your old pack might cheer you up.”

I let out a sigh, “Maybe you are right. I’ll call Hayley and she if she is available.”

He kisses me on the forehead before walking out of the room.

I decided to dress up a bit since Hayley suggested about going to a club, I pulled out a long black dress that had slits all around from the mid-thigh all the way down. The dress stopped at my shins. The straps were thin, so I decided to wear a thin red cardigan just to cover up my skin. Thankfully I have at least Dom’s mark and scent on me so no one will even consider hitting on me. I slipped into some strappy heels and took another look at myself. I had curled my hair and stuck a flower pin in my hair to keep it from falling in my face too much if we decide to dance.

A whistle comes through the door, and I see Dom in the mirror behind me. He takes a deep breath and takes in my scent.

“I think I change my mind about this girl’s night out,” he says as he rubs my shoulders and places his head in the crook of my neck to kiss my mark. I squirm a bit from the kiss.

“Dom, there are no take-backs,” I say as I turn and point a finger in his face.

He takes my finger and tries to bite it.

“Hey! Besides you have nothing to fear, you marked me. No wolf is even going to try to mess with this.” I moved hand in a circular motion all around me.

He laughs for a minute.

“Fine…Have a good time,” he says in a sullen tone. “Let me know if I need to pick you up.”

I gently kiss him good-bye before I made my way out the door.

After a night out with the girls they dropped me off over by my oasis and told them that I was completely fine to walk, and I would have Dom meet up with me to pick me up from there. It was almost nostalgic walking on this side of the river making my way to my oasis, my calm. As I continued to walk reminiscing in all the memories that I had, coming here I noticed that it was brighter than it should be as I got closer to the bridge. On the walkway there were candles that were lit up on both sides and continued up and across the bridge. It looked like a fairytale. A beautiful poetic setting for the right moment. As I got to the foot of the bridge on the other side, I saw him. Dom kneeling on one knee. I raise my hands to cover my nose and mouth. Surprise does not even begin to explain how I feel at this moment.

Sasha: Oh, my goddess is he doing that guy thing? He is, isn’t he?

Me: Sasha, shush this is a big moment. Don’t wreck this for me.

Sasha: I’m sorry, you are right. You go do your weird human thing.

I roll my eyes internally at her. This wolf of mine.

Bringing my hands back down, I slowly walk towards Dom. My heart racing and all my emotions running through me at the same time.

“Charity Meadows, we have known each other for quite some time. It hasn’t always been the best of times. But ever since I found out that you were my mate, these have been the best times of my life. I know that these last few weeks we were apart and trying to figure everything out. But I wouldn’t trade any of it because it just made me sure that this is what I wanted. Charity, will you do me the honor of becoming my Luna and mate to me for the rest of our lives?”

The tears were running down my face as I stood there looking at him and taking everything all in. Wow what a moment.

“TM?” He gives me a look of nervousness.

“Yes! Of course, Yes! I will mate to you and become your Luna.” I answer as I try to wipe the tears off my face.

He stands up and pulls me into his arms. He leans down and presses his lips upon mine. Oh, those lips those amazing lips of his. I start to melt into him. He picks me up bridal style not letting our kiss end as he carries me back to his car. He opens the door and places me into the passenger seat.

“Dom? Shouldn’t we go and take care of the candles? We wouldn’t want them to cause a fire.”

“Don’t worry Hayley and Rosie are taking care of them,” he says as he starts the car.

I sat there quiet for a moment, “Did they…”

He nods his head in agreement. “How else would I get you out so that I could put this all together.”

“You are very sneaky, Alpha,” I say as I narrow my eyes at him.

“I have to be to keep up with you Luna,” he says with a smirk.

Chills went down my body when hearing him call me Luna. I felt like purring when I heard him call me that.

Sasha: Oh yes, I am loving it. We can finally seal our Mate bond. I can’t wait for us to sink our teeth into him.

Me: Damn Sasha, I need you to take it down a notch you are going to seep pheromones in this whole car, and he won’t be able to drive.

I could already hear a slow rumble in Dom’s chest when he looks at me and continues to sniff the air.

“Dom, Dom tell your wolf to chill. I told her to take it down a notch and that we didn’t need this right now. She wants to complete the bond.”

“I agree with her.” It was a mixture of Dom’s voice and a deeper one which I am sure belonged to his wolf.

He looked over at me and I could see the gold around his eyes. His wolf was skirting on the surface.

“Please, we need to talk about this. Can’t this wait until you are not driving a vehicle and we are in a more rational setting?”

He nods his head in agreement and I can hear him taking deep breaths to cool himself down. But he started to speed to get us back to the packhouse quicker.

Once he pulled up, I immediately bolted out of the car and made it through the house and up the stairs, though I knew that Dom was right on my heels and before I could open our bedroom door, he grabbed me.

“You shouldn’t have run TM; you know what that does to my wolf,” he says as he opens our bedroom door and pushes us into the room. Closing the door and pushing me up against the wall.

He pushes his head to my neck as he breaths my scent in and starts to kiss and nip at the mark he has given me. I roll my eyes into the back of my head as I feel weak from his messing me that spot.

No, I need to stay rational, I need to talk to him about what I want.

“Dom, stop. Please. Dom, I want to talk to you about something,” I say as I try to push him off me and give us some distance. He lets out a growl but listens releasing me and letting me get out of his embrace.

“So when would we do the mating/Luna ceremony?” I ask as I continue to put distance between us.

“I was thinking on the first night of the Full Moon.” He answers while giving me a confused look.

Sasha: This, this is what you needed to talk about and stopped us from completing our bond.

Me: Shh, there’s more.

Sasha: Of course, there is.

“Ok, so the first night of the Full Moon is next week, correct?” I ask him.

“Yes?” He answers but with a more questionable tone than really answering the question. He makes his way to the bed and sits down on the edge of it.

I take a deep breath, “So I was thinking that maybe we hold off completing the bond until after the Mating/Luna ceremony and it would be like our wedding night and keep it special. What do you think?”

He sat there with his mouth open and practically his jaw on the floor. Just stunned by what I just said.

Sasha: This is the stupidest idea you have ever come up with and believe me there have been plenty of them. I can’t believe you would even consider waiting even longer than we already have.

I shake my ear as Sasha continued to berate me in my head and anxiously waited for Dom to answer.

“Dom?”

He finally closes his mouth and waits. I shrug my shoulders at him not knowing exactly what he was waiting for.

“Oh, you are actually serious about this?” He says as he gets up and starts to pace.

“Dom, just think it will make the night even more special.”

“TM, haven’t I been patient throughout all this? I have given you space when you needed it to deal with your job and your ties to Crescent Valley. I never demanded that you move to my pack immediately. I have been going at the pace you wanted throughout this whole time. To show you how much I care about you, and that I want this to work.”

“Yes, you have been absolutely amazing through all this, and I appreciate it so so much. I just thought that it would make the night so much more if we waited to complete the bond.” I said in a bit of a down tone.

Dom growled, “Why do I let you manipulate me?” He turns to the window as he runs his hand through his hair in frustration. A bolt of lightning flashes against the window which makes me jump a little when I see it.

A storm is coming.

I walk over to Dom and wrap my arms around his stomach. “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to manipulate you or drive you crazy.”

Sasha: Yes, you do.

“Yes, you do,” he answered.

It almost came out in stereo when they said it at the exact same time.

I tilt my head side to side and admit it. “Okay, maybe I do. But if you don’t want to wait, then I understand.”

He stayed quiet for a long time. Not answering my question or even rubbing my arms as mine are wrapped around him or at least trying to be wrapped around him.

A moment later I feel his shoulders drop and then he pulls me around so that he can wrap his arms around me. “No, if waiting to complete the bond makes you happy, then we will wait. If you are happy, then I am happy.”

I squeeze him with excitement. “Oh, thank you, thank you!”

I pull him down to my lips and kiss him. We hear a loud crack of thunder rumble through the sky and a moment later another flash of lightning.

The sounds of rain hitting the window as we continue to kiss as I slowly start to undress him. After he is stripped of all his clothes. Dom unbuttons the cardigan sliding it down my arms. He then slides his fingers around the straps and tugs them down my arms pulling my dress down past my breasts. Once past my hips the dress drops to my feet. Wearing only my panties and my heels, he kneels down kissing various spots on my body as he lifts my foot and takes off my heel and does the same to the other foot. He sinks his head at the opening of my thighs and takes a deep breath and forces my scent to fill his lungs. He runs his fingers across my hips as he gently pulls down on my panties and removes them. He lifts my leg and places it on his shoulder. With one hand he is rubbing my clit and my line with the other he has it wrapped under my leg and grabbing my ass to steady me. I let out a moan as soon as his tongue had touched my opening. Grabbing onto his hair and pushing him deeper I wanted as much as I could have of him inside me. He looks up at me as he continues to lick me. And I thrust my hips to meet his tongue thrust for thrust. I could feel my release coming as I started to pant. I pull onto his hair and dig my nails into his shoulder as my release hits his tongue. He quickly stands to help keep me from falling since I am a little weak in the knees from that one.

Sasha: Wow! That was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Me: I don’t think he is done with us yet.

Sasha: YES!

Dom picks me up in his arms and pushes me against the wall. He rubs his member at my entrance making it slick with my wetness. He slides it in with little effort and he starts to pump his hips thrusting deep into me. Another loud crack of thunder as the rain continues to beat against the window. He slows for a moment teases me by bringing himself all the way out rubbing his tip against my clit and then pushing himself back into me and start to thrust quickly. I could feel my release moving through me. My toes curling almost reaching to the top and tumbling over in pure ecstasy. He continues to thrust into me pulling me back so that he can look into my eyes seeing that I had already climaxed. He slides his hand in between us and starts to play with my clit. I start to pant again feeling myself about to climax again pushing myself over the edge and releasing myself all over him again. He lets out a loud growl as he thrust one or two more times and spills his hot seed into me. He carries me over to the bed before we completely collapse. Panting and trying to catch our breath.

Sasha: Phew! I love our mate. He makes us feel so damn good.

Me: Mm, yes, I want more.

Sasha: I’m sorry, what?

I look over at him and there is still a need to get my fill of him. I crawl over to him, and I straddle him, rubbing my still wet opening onto his member. I feel him start to grow again. Dom looks at me with confusion.

“What are you doing?”

“I don’t know, I just haven’t gotten my fill of you yet. I want more,” I say to him as I push myself down onto his member. Enjoying the burn and stretching it causing in this position.

He lifts up and grabs the back of my head to pull me down. “Look at me TM?”

I look him straight in the eye, I know what he was looking for. He was looking for any sign of my wolf, but this wasn’t her. I didn’t really know what this was. I just needed to have him. He releases me when he sees that this is all me.

Sasha: Yep, definitely not me. Although maybe I do wish it was me. But no, I am sated. I don’t know what you are on.

“Take it, take what you need,” he says as he puts his hands on my hips and helps me move up and down on his shaft.

Feeling myself getting closer I start to claw at his chest. He lets out a growl as he starts to thrust himself into me more and more, he ends up rolling us over so that he is on top wrapping both my legs around his hips so that he could penetrate deeper into me. This release is more than the last one, and I can’t keep up. So much stimulation I become overwhelmed. Scratching and clawing not knowing if I wanted him to stop or keep going. He pins my arms above my head as he continues to thrust pushing deeper and deeper.

I scream his name.

He lets out a growl and keeps pumping as we both spill our releases over each other. Dom tries not to collapse on top of me. But I can’t let go of him just yet.

We end up falling asleep wrapped up in each other’s arms.
