What If …

Luna Megan's POV

The day has finally come.

Alvarez was moved last night as part of the pack's tradition. He now stays at the back of the packhouse, out of reach of my wolf. My mate is willing to risk being publicly rejected by my wolf if it turns out that we are not fated. At least, that is what it looks like to others. But he is sure that we are meant to be together, Prey has already confirmed this to him.

So here I am with Lori and Louise helping me to get dressed. I got this dress from Luna Serene, an heirloom from all the previous Lunas of Blue Blood. And I feel so honored to be allowed to wear it again, even though a few adjustments were necessary. The neckline had to be reworked and the sleeves lengthened.

"Nervous?" Lori asks when she sees my hand trembling slightly.

"Don't worry, the Alpha will be gentle. And after that, the real fun starts," Louise teases me. I blush, feeling caught out. Last night, I couldn't think of anything else but my real mating with Alvarez. Finally, I will own him completely, that oral sex is nowhere near enough. My worry now is whether I will be enough for him or be a complete disappointment in bed.

"I know he will spare me. My fear is that I will not be able to satisfy him. I am a virgin with no experience. I don't even know how to swing my hips," I whisper in panic. "I watched a couple of porn videos last night. My God, these women are professionals. How am I supposed to do that?"

They suddenly burst out laughing, leaning against each other and clutching their stomachs. They are clearly enjoying it at my expense. Yes, as you see, they were once bitter enemies, but as soon as they sense a common target, they forget their feud.

Lori tries to sit up first, still hiccuping from her fun.

"Meg, baby. This man is your mate. Not some random lover. He was custom-made for you by the Moon Goddess. Just touching will provide him with more than the hottest sex from an online whore. Trust me. And what you don't know, he'll teach you. That's what mates do".

Although tears of laughter are still rolling down the corners of her eyes, her voice is soothing. I know she is telling the truth, even though she does not have a mate yet. Lori and Romero are still in the lovers' zone, their fate will be decided tomorrow.

"Believe me, Luna. The swaying of your hips will come naturally. When you're crazy with lust and don't know what to do. Trust me on that," Louise giggles. And then her face turns serious.

"I have had sex before, but with Zalev is the best. I follow my instincts to please him and it works. It gives me so much satisfaction to see him cum, all for me," she explains dreamily.

Damn it! This is what I want, to drive Alvarez crazy with lust, to tie him to me. But with no experience in that department, I fear the worst.

"Well, thank you for your advice. I'll take it from here, babes," I sigh.

"Alvarez wants us to mark each other in bed. I won't be able to fulfill that wish. I'll mark him as soon as my wolf is ready. I can't wait".

And then we hear Zalev announce that I have to be on stage.

‘Marty, are you ready? Make no mistake, recognize your mate on the compass,' I urge my wolf. She rolls her eyes, but I can feel her excitement. She wags her tail and stands on her hind legs.

'All I know is that our mate is behind that door. We will meet him today, my fangs are ready for work. We have a mate, a mate, Meg'. She jumps and dances like never before.

'What do you mean, we're going to see him today? Haven't we already? Lying next to him every night, working next to him in the pack?' I ask in bewilderment.

'Girl, go out that door. I can't wait. You're slowing us down with all these pesky questions. Move along, human,' she orders. With Lori and Louise behind me, I leave the room and head for the lift. As we walked down the corridors to the hall, I felt my heart pounding in my throat.

What if...

Uncertainty shatters my mind. 'Please, Moon Goddess, please. I don't want anyone else. Let our wolves speak the same tune. It can't be anyone else but Alvarez,' I pray for my sanity.

"Calm down, Meg. A little while longer and you'll get a mental break. Clear your mind, think of nothing and let it all wash over you. That's the best way to deal with it. I've done that, too", Louise whispers in my ear.

And so do I. The tension leaves my body as we stand in front of the door.

And then it hits me full force, infiltrating my systems and taking over my senses.

'MATE! MINE!' Marty screams possessively in my mind.

And Zalev opens the door. At some distance from me stands my mate, smiling and holding out his hands to me.

Alvarez!

With a broad smile, I threw myself into his arms, relieved and overjoyed. My arms are like vices around his waist,

"Baby, did you have any doubts? I told you there was no other way, Prey already knew, you're mine". They are the most beautiful words I have ever heard. I lift my face to his and our lips meet in a heated kiss. When we are about to run out of air, I pull away and caress his face with my pointed fingers.

"My love, I know what we agreed, but I can't wait. Forgive me, but Marty and I are impatient. It is stronger than me, this urge to bind you to us now," I state, shaking. My fangs protrude from my mouth as I take hold of his hair.

With a strength I didn't know I possessed, I slowly pulled his head down so his neck was easier to reach. Alvarez offers no resistance.

As my tongue licks the area clean, I hear him moan. And then my fangs sink through the skin into his flesh, deep enough to leave my mark there forever.

"Aahhh, love. Yes, I'm yours. Always," he groans breathlessly.

Loud applause erupts behind us, the pack going wild with joy. Some of them shift and let out a howl of joy.

As I pull back my fangs, I feel the pack connect with me.

'Welcome, Luna. You are now officially the mate of our Alpha and the Luna of Blue Blood.'..
