The Alpha Who Saved Me
Chapter 97

CHAPTER 97

Gavin kept me up well into the night, only letting me out when I had to go feed Ash and then put him back to bed. It was a little after midnight when I was finally able to go to sleep. He had gotten up to tend to our pup and I fell into a deep sleep.

Now, with the sun shining bright into our window, I slowly begin to wake up. Turning to see that Gavin is still asleep, I get an evil thought. Who doesn't want to start their day with a good fuck? For some reason, I am feeling really horny. I know it's supposed to be a full moon tonight, and normally, mated she-wolves go into heat, but I'm yet to be mated, so I'm not sure what's come over me, but at this point, I don't care. Climbing over and straddling him, his cock comes to life with just one touch of my hand and then I'm sliding myself down, impaling myself on his cock. He groans and then his eyes flutter open. A grin appears on his face, and he takes hold of my hips and thrusts up.

"What? Didn't get enough last night?" He asks cockily.

I shrug, "I woke up horny, saw you just lying there doing nothing, and decided to jump on for a ride."

He laughs, but then really starts thrusting into me until we are both. moaning out our orgasms. It's not a long fuck session, but it's enough to get us through until tonight. I hop off and tap his muscular thigh, "Rise and shine big boy, you have a mate to mark today."

He sits up really fast and grins, grabbing me before I get too far and brings me back to his lap, "That's right. The next time we make love will be as Alpha and Luna, and I will finally be able to mark the love of my life."

His words bring tears to my eyes. I grab his face and gaze deep into his gorgeous green eyes, "I love you so much, Gavin Asher Davis, and I can't wait to become your Luna and to wear your mark." I bring my lips to his and kiss him passionately. It's intimate, but not sexual; it's a kiss meant to show him the extent of my love for him. He kisses me back with the same intensity and in this moment, I know that I was meant to be right here with him. I don't know how to explain it, but I know that I'm on the right path that the Goddess has set for me.

It's a flurry of excitement the closer it gets to the ceremony. Cici, Summer, Aspen, and Kimber all come to help me get ready. The ceremony is set to take place a little before sunset, and even though we've had the whole day to prepare, I feel as though we are still running behind.

I think everyone that I had sent invites out to has accepted and so it will be a full house. I don't mind crowds anymore, but I do mind. wearing heels and walking down an aisle in said heels as everybody is watching when I face plant in front of everyone.

"That's it, I change my mind, I need my flats!" I call out.

Cici gives me the stink eye, but I totally ignore it. I don't care what anybody says, I will not fall on my face in front of one hundred guests, plus my whole pack. If I want to go barefoot, I damn well will! I smile gratefully at Aspen who comes running with my gold pair of sandals. My dress is emerald green and is a gauzy material in an empress cut or something. Cici knows all the fashion terms, but I loved the color and the way if flows. I wanted simple, and that's what it is, and its off-the-shoulder, so it shows off the diamond teardrop necklace that Gavin surprised me with this morning. He had it made to match my mother's teardrop earrings that now dangle from my lobes as well.

Cici has swept back the front of my hair with whisps hanging down. and has the back flowing all the way down in waves. My makeup is a natural look with just a hint of green and gold in the eyeshadow. Looking in the mirror, I resemble my mother and I begin to tear up.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no...Cici will kill you if you mess up her masterpiece!" Kimber giggles as she dabs at my eyes with a tissue.

"Thank you, Kimber. It means so much to me that you and Aspen came to help me on this important day." I give her a tight hug.

"Of course, we would. You took us in when we needed somewhere to go. This is the least that we could do, and we wanted to be here for you because you have come to mean so much to us." "Okay, I'm going to blame you this time if Cici gets mad!" I swipe the tissues from her hand and dab at my eyes once again.

"I found someone lurking in the hallway." Summer calls out.

I spin around and see Declan standing awkwardly by the door, "Hey, Declan. Do you need something?"

"Well," he scratches the back of his head, indicating that he's nervous about something, so I wait patiently for him to spit it out, "I thought that since your father or brother aren't here to escort you to your waiting Alpha, that maybe I could step in for them."

I hold up one finger and then turn around, bringing the tissues to the corners of my eyes where I feel the sting. Once I have it under control, I turn back around, "I would be honored to have you escort me, Declan, and I know my father and brother would be happy as well."

"Okay, I will wait for you downstairs then. You have about five minutes." He smiles warmly and then turns to leave but stops halfway and turns back, "You look beautiful, by the way."

"Thank you."

I see a sadness pass over his face but then it's gone, and his smile is back in its place before he turns and walks out. I push his reaction aside and then have Cici touch up my makeup before I head downstairs myself.

The evening is warm as I step outside with my arm hooked through Declan's. I know it's taking a lot for him to be doing this and I wonder if Amelia had anything to do with him offering himself as escort. I'm hoping Gavin doesn't get upset over it but the moment I see him up on the makeshift stage, my worries dissolve.

His smile lights my way to him, it's like a beacon in the night. I smile back as I keep my eyes only on him, and by the time I get to the stage and Declan is passing me off to his cousin, I feel a calmness that I've never felt before.

One of the Elders, who is performing the ceremony, smiles at me and nods his head in respect, as I do the same. Because I am passing my title to Gavin, we need to first get that out of the way before we can proceed making me his Luna.

Tala is pacing back and forth, not happy to be going through with the union, but yet, she wouldn't want to give Mace up to anybody else either.

I try to ignore her pacing as we finish up with the ceremony. As the Elder says the final words, bonding Gavin and I together, I feel the tether snap into place, and I smile up at my new mate.

"I love you, my Alpha."

He returns the smile, "And I love you, my Luna." He then crashes his lips against mine and cheers go up all around.

We pull away from each other and normally we would descend the steps and head to the reception area, but instead, we grab everyone's attention, and Gavin takes the mic.

"Before we move on to the partying," everyone chuckles, "Luna Quinn and I would like our head warrior, Cam, to come up here." We both glance around, "Where are you Cam?" He finally makes his way out to the aisle looking totally confused. Once he's up on stage Gavin places his hand on Cam's shoulder and turns him, so he's facing the guests as well, "Luna Quinn and I have discussed this, and actually it was her idea, but we decided that since the Dark Moon pack has grown, as well as the number of warriors, we feel that you may need a little bit of help.

We think you need your own head warrior, but there is a problem. there, though, isn't there? You ARE the head warrior. So, in order for you to have a head warrior, you have to give up your title."

I swear Gavin loves to put on a show. I try not to giggle in amusement, but it's getting harder and harder, especially seeing the look on Cam's face when he was just told that he needed to give up his title. "Thank you, Alpha Gavin, but I think I'm good. I don't need a head warrior." Cam tries his hardest to keep his title, not knowing what Gavin is going on about.

I slap Gavin playfully in the chest, "Will you get on with it already?"

Gavin grabs his chest area like I hurt him, as a guest calls out, "Get used to those slaps Alpha Gavin, because they only get worse." The male chuckles, and we see that it's Alpha Carson from the Blood Moon pack. His Luna who is sitting beside him slaps him upside the head for his comment, "See!"

The crowd chuckles as they witness the assault, but that's what gets Gavin to continue, "Anyway, what I am trying to say is that your can no longer be head warrior because you will now have the title of Gamma of the Dark Moon pack."

Cam's eyes light up as he looks between both me and Gavin, "Are you serious right now?"

I laugh and nod, "Yes, you will be my personal guard and will lead all the warriors. You will choose a replacement for the head warrior title."

"Thank you, so much Alpha Gavin, Luna Quinn!"

"Don't thank me, it's your Luna who saw your potential first and came to me with the idea. So, my first order of business as Alphal is swearing you in as Gamma."

Cam kneels in front of Gavin right away. Once the words are said and the cutting of the palms is over, and then the drinking from the cup, Cam becomes the Gamma and my personal guard. It's such a happy day all around, and I can't wait until the end of it, so I can finally wear my mate's mark.

There you have it, Quinn and Gavin are official, but please, Team Declan, don't hate on the writer. Come back on Sunday for a special chapter...
