The Chronicles of Moon
Chapter 81

No Time to Rest

It is shocking to Moon how fast things in such a large pack can move. Even after everything that had happened, it only took them a few days to have everything moving forward for the ceremony. Ben has been released and is home now fully recovered luckily for him wolves heal fast.

Moon is beyond relieved that he recovered quickly, and Emily has calmed down with him back at the packhouse. In her anxiety to keep busy, she reorganized Moon’s closet and helped her redo Bella’s room. She had also redone hers and Ben’s quarters as well all in one day. She was threatening to take on the offices as well, but Colin told Moon to stop her or he would.

Bella and Sam have become fast friends, and you seldom see one without the other. Sam can’t tell Bella what happened that night. No one can, but he seems determined to protect her and stay with her no matter what. His father and mother came to Colin and Moon asking if there was any way he could join the training program, and Moon thought it was an excellent idea. Sam is so determined to be a warrior then he may as well train like one. Ben Started a children’s class moments after she brought it up to him, and Sam was the first child there.

The day before the Luna ceremony and Moon is greeting guests with Colin. While she knows he hates all the formalities, he’s doing a fine job of hiding it. He is even smiling and engaging in small talk with the ever-growing group.

“Are you ready for tomorrow?” Ben asks, standing by Moon as she hides a moment by the refreshments.

“No.” She laughs, “I would rather face Eos again than all these people.”

“You don’t mean that,” Colin says, joining them and kissing the top of her head.

“No, not really, but I still hate the thought of all these people being here to see me and then after I show them what I am.” She sighs heavily. Once they all know she is the white wolf, the real work will begin. Joining them all under a common goal of helping one another. That is not something they will all want, and she knows it. She has been watching them interact and seeing how some avoid others.

“Well, they are all here at least, and that is a step. You won me over, defeating Caleb and Maddox.” David has now found them. She was unsure of him in the beginning. Still, he has proven to be their ally time and again. Coming to their aid, and with his support, maybe it won’t be so bad; many of the other Alphas seem to like him and are willing to follow his lead as well.

“I hope you are right. I would hate to make them listen to me. I want them to want the change, not just follow us because I tell them to.” Moon slumps a bit.

“Colin, can I borrow you a moment?” Chris asks, walking up. “There are a few last-minute things I need your input on?” Chris is being cryptic, and Moon wonders what he is up to.

After all the meeting and greeting, Moon is exhausted as she and Colin climb the stairs. Her feet are killing her, and she wonders what kind of sicko invented high heels in the first place. When Colin suddenly scoops her up and begins carrying her up the stairs, she squeaks a little.

“What are you doing?” She asks, giggling.

“You want to tell me your feet don’t hurt? I thought I would just carry you now rather than wait for you to fall.” He smirks, making her give him a huffy look.

“I didn’t trip or knock anything over today; thank you very much.” She proclaims, crossing her arms.

“I know. I never had a reason to catch you, so I’ll carry you now.” He smiles back, kissing her nose, making her giggle again.

When he opens the door to the apartment, her mouth drops open. The whole place is covered in candlelight, and roses fill the room. The table is set for two. It might be the most romantic thing she has ever seen. He sits her down in a dining chair, kneeling to undo her shoes.

“You did all of this?” She gasps, still taking it all in.

“Well, I had a little help.” He winks, taking off her shoes; he leans in, kissing her leg. She melts and takes his face in her hands, pulling his lips to hers. He kisses her passionately as she runs her fingers through his hair. When he pulls back, she is saddened by the loss of his lips, craving more.

“I had a dinner alone planned for us, but I think that can wait.” He gives her a half smile, scooping her up again, holding her close in his arms, and kissing her. She wraps her arms around his neck as he carries her to their room.

Setting her on the bed and kissing his way down her neck makes her moan softly, encouraging him further. When she kisses his neck, biting slightly, he growls seductively and pulls her close. She can feel how much he wants her at that moment. When his hand moves up her thigh, and under her dress, she hums in pleasure, nipping his neck again, making him crazy.

He replaces the zipper in the back of her dress, zipping it down as she works on the buttons for his shirt. He’s glad Emily agreed to keep Bella for the night, giving him the night alone with Moon. As he pulls the straps of her dress down, she has his shirt undone and runs her hands along his back.

Helping her shimmy out of her dress and slipping his shirt off raining kisses down her neck and shoulder. Her nails claw his skin when she moans again as his fingers replace her soft breast. Her hands are at his waist, undoing his belt. When she has his pants undone, he’s happy to be rid of them, grabbing her wrists in one of his large hands and pinning them to the bed.

“You are mine tonight and always.” He says low in her ear, making her shiver. Every moan, pant, and quiver only make him want her more. All he can think of is her and his need to be hers and only hers. She is his, and he will worship every part of her with his last breath.

His lips replace her hardened nipple sucking it and pulling as his finger push the lace panties out of his way. She is warm and wet for him already. He groans as he slips a finger in, and she moans louder as he teases her with his fingers. She wants him more and more, and as her body tightens on his fingers, he can’t wait any longer to have her. Ripping her panties off her and freeing himself from his briefs.

He pins her hands back to the bed, kissing her and sliding himself into the warmth of her core. She hisses in pleasure, panting more heavily, her tightening muscles making him want to lose complete control. Kissing down her neck to the mark on her neck, biting it enough to make her gasp and moan as he thrusts further into her moving slowly, so slowly it’s making her want to lose her mind.

“Fuck” he moans when she tightens down on him more.

He moves begins moving faster, and soon they are both panting. He lets go of her wrists, and she wraps her hands around him, nails clawing his shoulders and back, making him growl and thrust harder and harder until she is screaming in pleasure. He’s close to the edge but holding out, knowing she is closer than he is. When her body shudders in spasms, it pushes him over the cliff, making him orgasm harder than he thought possible. Both of them clinging to each other, panting heavily and throats dry, they hold each other unwilling to move, both content to be held. He strokes her hair, kissing her softly.

“I love you more than you can imagine. You are the light in the dark.” He murmurs in her ear as she hums in sleepy ecstasy.
