His Luna’s Already A Luna
Chapter 28

Nick POV

Watching Lucinda wake up was adorable, he'd been awake for over an hour now. Just lying there in their bed, he liked that thought, their bed. Watching her, she'd become restless and punched him, it was what had woken him. He could see her eyes had been moving under her closed lids, she'd been dreaming.

He'd casually rolled her onto her back after she had hit him the second time, it hadn't particularly hurt him just didn't wish to have her beat him up in her sleep. Whatever she had been dreaming about he didn't know, but it was clear she was in a fight of some sort, it took several minutes to pass, for her settle back into sound sleep once more.

The little noises she was making, as she stretched her body out as she was waking up, were very cute to him. He wanted to reach out and touch her face, her lips to be exact. But knew she would wake fully and the little sexy display, she was putting on for him, without realising it, would be over and he did not want that. Was enjoying the show. She hadn't yet realised his hand was resting on her abdomen, that he was actually touching her, still half asleep.

He was enjoying the feeling of her muscles moving under his touch, the light tingling sensations it was sending into his hand and up his arm.

To his delight as she stretched her arms above her head, her whole body rolled right over and into his. His hand slid gently over her waist and was now on her lower back, holding her into his body lightly. He smiled, couldn't help himself.

Watching it dawn on her, was very amusing for him, her arms were still stretched above her head, if she relaxed them, they would end up around his neck. Would she he wondered. "good morning, my dear." he nearly chuckled, the feel of her body against his was amazing and he hadn't, even had to do a thing to get her like this.

Oh, if this was their Mate Bond, he was loving every second of it, her eyes were wide with shock, that lovely honey brown colour, he could now see had some lovely golden flecks in them. Beautiful.

She was just staring into his eyes, not saying anything. He could see she was a little more than embarrassed, pulled her arms down to her chest finally. Ah he could tell she was going to pull away from him, well he wasn't ready for that yet. Tightened his arm around her waist, just a little. He liked having his arm around her, wasn't at all ready to relinquish her yet. Even after holding her in his arms for the past 12 hours.

Watched as her eyes finally moved away from his, probably trying to figure out the best way to make him let go or get away. Saw she look at the tattoo that covered all of his right chest, and went up over his shoulder she would find out that it would also go down his back. It was his representation of his wolf. Actually Rip had picked it himself, out of all the designs Mary had presented him. She was their tattoo artist here in the pack. Currently away for some conference to enhance her skills, not that she needed it. "I'll let go, if you say good morning to me." he'd teased with a light chuckle.

He'd nearly growled playfully at her when both her hands pushed at his chest and tried to get away from him, it had pushed her hips against him slightly, causing naughty images to pop right into his mind. It had also sent sparks of electricity all over his chest, he was becoming aroused by her actions and she wasn't even trying to turn him on. He wanted more, for her to touch him more, it felt amazing.

He rolled over onto his back and pulled her body completely on top of him, couldn't resist doing it not when it meant there would be more skin on skin contact with his lovely mate. She'd straddled him unwittingly in her attempt to keep her balance as he'd rolled them over. He was hard pressed not to growl at her now. Her bare legs were clamped tightly around his waist, a pity she wasn't sitting lower, though that would probably cause him to want what he couldn't have, and she would definitely feel what he had to give her later on. He was loving this, very amused.

"Let me go." she'd suddenly snapped at him and he did just that, the situation though amusing to him, he was about to find himself in a predicament of his own, that would need sorting out and he didn't think she'd want that just yet.

As she'd scrambled to get off of him and the bed she'd turned her back to him, and his hand seemed to move of its own accord and smacked her right on her cute tight little bottom, a firm but playful whack.

Her eyes shot to his, he couldn't tell the emotion in them, a mixture of things, he rolled onto his side and watcher her, yes he was enjoying this mornings events. A good morning indeed it was.

Watching her reaction as he went to get out of the bed was priceless, if only he'd been able to take a photo, it dawned on him that she had no idea if he was naked in this bed or not. Her entire body froze and both her hands snapped out into a stop gesture "wait" she'd practically yelled at him.

He couldn't stop the full blown smile on his face even if he had wanted to, which he didn't, he was totally amused at her terrified thought, he was about to stand in front of her completely naked, terrified she might like it, terrified she wouldn't be able to not look at him, if he stood there naked before her.

"Afraid I'm naked?" he couldn't help but taunt her, she had wanted to play games with him, yesterday in Alpha Corey's office, well he too could play, and it was his turn now. He yanked the duvet off and jumped out of the bed, quick as a flash not giving her time to look away.

Her eyes were indeed on his lower half, he heard her breathe a sigh of relief "Now that's not very nice." he murmured still teasing her, when her eyes didn't move played some more "You should want to see me naked." he allowed his hands to play with waist band of his silk Pyjama bottoms "I'm happy to strip for you." and he was, more than happy.

"No thank you." she shot at him but her eyes were still on his hands.

"Pity you might like what you see." he chuckled lightly and then, on purposes seeing as she was so focused on him this moment, slid both his hands slowly up his very ripped abdomen, allowing his fingers to slide over his very defined six pack and up and over his chest, to stretch them above his head, letting his muscles roll and ripple just for her.

A full display of his physic, for his lovely little mate and she watched it all. That was until her eyes locked with his, and saw the way he was watching her, fully aware she was attracted to him and he was playing with her. Had gotten her to finally look at him "You sure now?" he teased her even more.

She turned away from him, ah the game was over, a pity he was really liking the way it was turning out, she wasn't so immune to his charm as she appeared to be, back in her pack, he he he. Good.

Calling her my dear seemed to annoy her, but he really liked it, she reminded him she had a name "Hmm...Lucinda" he'd dropped his voice to a deep rich husky note, and to his delight actually saw the shiver, that went through her body. So kept his tone very husky "I like your name. Rolls right off my tongue...nicely." he couldn't help himself but pause on the word tongue, hoping it would send a mental image of his tongue rolling over that ever so sensitive part of her, that would elicit her moaning his name. No reaction though, pity.

He suggest dressing and breakfast, when she finally stood with clothes and toiletries in her arms, and stared at him while he was watching her, he was still smiling, he really was enjoying their first morning together.

"Are you going to stare at me all day!"

"Maybe." he answered with a wink, but he probably was going to he realised, quite enjoyed looking at her in fact. Didn't even care when she uttered a sarcastic. "great." back at him, was to darned happy and amused, to have care at this very moment in time. Denny was so going to be right.

He pointed her in the direction of the en-suite, when he realised she was looking for a place to get changed. He was gong to get changed right in this room regardless of what she wanted, he was not ashamed of what his body looked like. He knew neither was she, but it was their first time alone as Mates and he knew she wasn't ready for him, to see her naked up close and personal, either that or she thought he might try and jump on her.

He might he thought. But that would only go so far, for he did actually intend to follow their Mating Alliance. Besides teasing his Mate was fun, he might like a few days of this himself, he could control his urges, though for how long with her around was yet to be determined.

He strolled off to get clothes and dress himself, today would consist of showing her around and introducing her to everyone, he didn't want his un-mated wolves not knowing she was their Luna. They might try and hit on her and that would cause trouble. Ky'ra hated that apparently and he knew Rip would too, when he thought about it, he himself did not like it either, heads would likely roll. Literally. He would have to announce her to the pack today.

He pulled on blue jeans and a red tee-shirt and a pair of boots and took himself to his private office just off the living area, used its bathroom to brush his teeth and hair, then returned to the living area. Sank down in his custom designed sofa, made to suit his height so he didn't feel like he was sitting on the damned floor, as he did everywhere he went, when visiting other packs.

To his surprise he heard the shower turn on, now that was a tempting thought. Her naked and wet, a low growl escaped him. He pushed the thought away. Had to be on her terms, he reminded himself.

'Mark and Mate now. Rip snarled at him, he wanted his Mate too.

'When she wants us to Rip. It's the agreement we have. You'll just have to wait. I'm sorry."

His wolf stalked around inside of his mind the whole time they could hear the shower running. Then he seemed to settle once it stopped. Guess his wolf might have a fetish.

Nick sat and absently played a game on his phone, poker, he was not really focused on it, not winning either. His ears had been listening to the sounds of his Mate.

Watched her as she walked over to the fire place and looked at his family photos on the mantle. Although he had half a dozen half siblings, the only family photo's he kept in here were his mother and his sister. He could see her curiosity about the lack of newer pictures and answered her unspoken question. "Died when I was four." he would tell her the circumstances around his mothers death another time.

"Oh...I'm sorry." she'd said softly, and he knew she actually meant it, genuinely heard it in her voice. Took the opportunity to ask her about her parents.

"I heard your parents died?"

It surprised him she answered right away "Yes when I was 18." he had not expected her to answer it, not with the way Alpha Corey had spoken about her history or lack there of. He watched as her right hand touched her chest. Knew she felt heart ache. It was what he felt, when he to thought about his own mother.

Was surprised more than a little when she'd told him she had no family photo's, none at all. Her hand was rubbing at her chest trying to make the ache go away, he got up and walked over to her, wanted to comfort her. But didn't really know how, seeing as he didn't think she would be receptive to him wrapping his arms around her and pulling her body into his for a hug. It was what he wanted to do but didn't, so he just stood there close to her and asked what had happened. Wasn't entirely sure she would say anything but she did, surprising him once more "House fire, they all burned."

It was a simple plain statement of fact. He felt a little sad that she had nothing to remember her own parents by, there was nothing he could do about it, nothing anyone could do about it. Though why Alpha Corey couldn't tell him that was odd, there was nothing weird about it, a house fire could happen to anyone.

She asked about the girl in the photo with him, it was a recent photo only a year old he and Mary his sister. He wondered if she was curious or jealous of the photo. He walked her to the elevator and watcher her look out over the balcony and down the staircase "five floors up, our floor is the 5th floor. It'll just be you and I, and Mary and her Mate they live in the other wing though, but they're currently off pack territory. I'll introduce to them when they get back in a few days.

The Alpha unit are all on the 4th floor, they each have a suite, though only Kevin our Gamma is mated, no pups yet wanted to wait till I had one, so they can all grow up the same time, a strong bond from birth which will make for a strong Alpha Unit, he explained. The 3rd floor is used for visiting Alpha's and their Alpha Units though that doesn't happen often. Though now I have to hold mating balls, it will get used more often. The 2nd floor houses the packs library and conference rooms, a few other offices for ranked members who help out with legal and accounting for our human world business's and pack funding.

The 1st floor is set up with only bedrooms for visiting un-ranked pack members. I guess now that I have to hold mating balls it will be of use, never used it in the 5 years I have been the Alpha. Ground floor is where my office is and the Alpha Bar. There's a rec room, ballroom, dinning hall, kitchen, private Alpha dining room, not that I use it much only with visiting Alpha's, there's an indoor pool and gym. Large mud room all the usual suspects of a pack-house" They stepped into of the elevator "I'll set you up with a code for the Alpha suite today too."

He walked her into the pack-house communal dinning area, there were several Omega's running about doing morning breakfast shift. They bowed their heads to him respectfully as he came into the room, then all their eyes were on Lucinda, an unspoken question in their eyes, it wasn't something any of them would see. Him walking around with a woman next to him, especially one that was not a pack member, he guessed the significance was not lost on them.

"Your future Luna. Lucinda" he'd stated calmly but confidently.

He watched their eyes widen slightly, but then they turned and immediately bowed their heads to her "Hello."

He watched as Lucinda bowed her head back and greeted them right away, she seemed to do it so naturally, like it was something she knew how to do, odd. Perhaps being in a pack, that had all the laws and respect for a Luna, she knew what was actually expected of her, probably more than he did actually.

He walked her over to the long buffet tables, that were loaded with all kinds of breakfast foods, for his pack to help themselves too so she could find something to eat. Noticed that there were more than just a couple of wolves watching with interest.

He took the opportunity, while Lucinda was collected things to put on her plate for breakfast, to send out a pack wide mind-link, it would cause him a headache for the next half an hour or so, but she was worth it. Announced to them he had found his goddess- gifted Mate and would be showing her around the pack today.

He actually felt through the link, a lot of happiness come back towards him, a few angry huffs, she wolves he'd no longer be entertaining he guessed. And a more than a few sent waves of concern for her towards him, unwittingly he supposed. He hoped. He knew why the concern though. His father and brothers, were not known for treating their Luna's, with any form of respect.

He had learned a bit about Luna's, from his new mother, Lindy. He shook his head at that thought, cheeky woman. He was going to go and see Jeremy's grandmother soon, to get some advice too, so hopefully their concern would disappear with time. He liked his Mate, really liked her and already knew he wanted her to be happy. Playing with her this morning had been fun too. He could see himself doing that all the time. He would never do to her, what his father had done to his mother. Their Mating Alliance also forbid it as well, not that he would anyway. His father had been cruel to his mother, he was nothing like his father, more like his mother or what he could remember of her.
