“It’s really bizarre, the mate bond, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, it is, but so amazing.”
“Do you…do you think she’ll ever feel it, being human?” He asks me.
I look at him for a moment, before giving him my honest answer. “I think she already does. I’m not sure if all humans feel it or if it is related to her being exposed for so long to the leeches, but either way, I think she feels it.”
“Thanks Alpha.”
At some point, I realize that Angel has returned from training. She doesn’t seek me out, so I’m hoping that she is getting more comfortable in the packhouse and with the pack members. I know if she needs me, she’ll come find me, so I continue to make contingency plans in case something happens to me during the battle with the vampires.
When I’m done, I head upstairs to our room. I find her showering and I lean in the doorway, enjoying the view of my sweet little mate. Her body has filled out from when she first got here. You can’t count her ribs and her hip bones aren’t protruding like the used to. She still needs to gain some weight, but that will come with time and she’s already putting on muscle, helping her to fill out just a bit more.
“Liam? Were you going to join me?” My little angel asks me.
“I’m just enjoying the view.” I say.
She pulls her head out from under the water and looks at me, cocking an eyebrow. “What’s on your mind, big guy?”
“I have something for you when you’re done.”
I walk back into our bedroom, noticing that the scent in the room has changed.
Her scent is now mixed with mine.
I can’t wait until this vampire business is done. I’m hoping Angel will want to start trying for a pup right away. We haven’t really had a chance to talk about it, but we’re not exactly being careful either.
When she walks out in only a towel, I growl softly. “You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life.” I say, walking to her and wrapping my arms around her.
“You’re only saying that because I’m practically naked.”
“Nope.” I kiss the top of her head before pulling back and looking at her. “But I may be saying it because I’m ridiculously, stupidly in love with you. You, Angel, are the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I can’t tell you how happy it makes me that you will officially become my Luna tonight.” I tell her.
I see tears shimmering in her eyes and I kiss them away. “None of that. Unlike my ceremony, tonight is a celebration, a happy event. This pack has needed a Luna like you for a very long time. We have a lot to celebrate.”
I release her and walk to the closet. “And, since I want to make sure my Luna is dressed as she should be for her induction into this pack and her new role, I got. you something.” I say, walking out with a garment bag in hand.
My sweet Angel starts bouncing in her excitement, clapping her hands. “Can I see it?” She asks.
“Absolutely, but no putting it on until after your hair is done. Which reminds me, we only have a few minutes before Tina arrives. I asked her if she would do your hair and make up for you. I hope you don’t mind.”
She walks up to me, taking my face in both hands. “Liam Holstin, you are the most amazing man I’ve ever met in my life, and that is saying something because my father was pretty amazing. Thank you. Now show me this dress!!”
She squeals the last part.
I hang it on the door before unzipping the bag and pulling the dress out. It’s an A -line, V-neck floor length chiffon dress the color of red wine. It has a beaded strip around the waist and matching silver heels. “It’s stunning.” She says, running her fingers down the dress.
“I’m glad you like it. I thought it would look good with your hair color and even though it doesn’t have sleeves, I don’t think you need to hide your arms any longer.”
She walks to me, grabbing me by my shirt, pulling me to her for a scorching kiss. “Thank you, Liam, I love it.”
There’s a knock on the door. “That would be Tina.” I tell her and kiss her once more before going to answer the door.
Tina is standing there with a large bag of goddess only knows what. “This is my queue to leave. Angel, I’ll see you on stage.” I wink at my girl on the way out.
Next up, the Luna ceremony!
“Okay, that man is seriously smoking hot!” Tina says as she walks in. “And you, my Luna, are a lucky woman.”
“Yes I am.” I tell her.
“And so am I.” She says, looking at me with a glint in her eyes.
‘Why is she looking at us like that?’ Alessia asks.
‘I don’t know, but it can’t be good.’ I reply.
“I’ve been dying to get my hands on your hair since you came into the salon and I couldn’t believe my luck when Alpha Liam called. I cancelled all my appointments for the rest of the afternoon so I could spend hours getting you ready. You, my dear Luna, are going to be the most gorgeous Luna in the history of Lunas!” Tina says excitedly.
Her increasing level of excitement is a direct correlation to my increasing level of anxiety. What in the world is she planning to do to me? I have visions of Effie Trinket in my head.
In the end, I have to admit, it was much better than I thought. Having Tina work her magic on my hair was very relaxing. When she was done, I looked amazing. I still looked like me, but better, enhanced. “Wow!” I said, looking in the mirror.
She smiled a brilliant smile, clapping her hands. “You like it?
“It’s gorgeous.” She had taken my hair and pulled the back up into a high ponytail then covered it with curls so you couldn’t tell it was in a ponytail at all. Then she left long ringlets down my back, with some long bangs in the front. The sides were held up with a silver clip that matched my shoes.
“Okay Luna, so I hope you don’t think this is too forward, but word on the street is that you showed up at our pack with nothing but the clothes on your back.” I nod at her, not sure where this is going. “And, we all know our Alpha barely has a moment to do anything, so I know he hasn’t really taken the time you need to go shopping.” I nodded again.
“So,” she draws out the word, digging into her bag. “I brought you some undergarments meant to turn our Alpha to a puddle of mush at your feet.”
She pulls out a bra and panty set. It’s black lace, the panties are thong, which I’ve never worn and the bra is so lacey that I know it won’t last longer than the one night. Liam will rip that off me in no time.

“Thank you Tina. That was very thoughtful.”
“Oh, it’s not just from me, Luna. So many of us are happy that Alpha Liam finally found his mate. He’s wanted to find you for so long, and we’ve already seen a difference in him. He’s a great Alpha and he deserves to be happy, so this is from the entire salon.”
I stand and hug Tina. “I’ll be sure to come by and thank everyone. Now, can you help me into my dress. I think it’s almost time.”
I only wore the new panties, as the sleeves on the dress and the lower back didn’t allow for a bra. When I’m dressed, Tina leans in and gives me a hug. “I’m so happy for both of you.” She says. She steps back, takes one last look at me, then turns to go. “See you down there.”
