Her Mate, His Luna

Chapter 3

  *Aliane pov*

     Then I hear a shriek, which has me and Iván tense. He gets up quickly and carefully positions me behind him; I would laugh at his possessiveness if I weren't worried about the shriek. This sound didn't seem to bother anyone else around us, which confused me for about 0.5 seconds because just then, I saw my mother running straight towards us. Once Ivàn sensed that there was no danger and saw my mother, who he had met at many alpha meetings, he relaxed and stepped to the side to finally reveal me. 

      When my mother reached us, she came up to me and hugged me. She squeezed me so hard I couldn't breathe. She hugged me for about two minutes before she pulled away. When she pulled away, Ivàn grabbed me by my waist and pulled me into him. I could tell that he needed the contact I did too. Don't get me wrong, I love my mother, and I loved hugging her, but when I wasn't next to Ivan, and we weren't in contact, my wolf didn't like her. She started to get anxious, and I did too. 

   "Oh my, My baby girl has found her mate!!!!"   my mother yelled, holding back tears.

    "Mom, don't cry, please." 

    "I am just so happy for you, baby:"  and with that statement, my mother started to cry. 

    I looked up at Ivàn to see him looking down at me. He knew I wanted to go to my mother, and so he just nodded and smiled. I walked away from him and went over to my mother, pulling her into a hug. I held her until I smelled my dad. I pulled away from my mother, and he walked over and pulled her into him. My father started to rub circles on her back, and she started to calm down. 

    "Congratulations, Alpha Iván, and congratulations, baby girl. We're happy for you two." my father said.

    "Thank you, Alpha Blake and Luna Ivy. " Ivàn says 

    "Please call us Blake and Ivy Alpha Ivàn. We passed our title as Alpha and Luna down to Kyne and Reva,"  my mother states. 

     I smile at my parents at this statement. As a wolf, it's uncommon to don't and grow to love a person. Your mate was made for you. You only get one mate for your life, and that's enough. In sporadic cases, you get two mates, or when one mate rejected you or dies, you get a second chance mate. When you meet your mate, you instantly in love with them. Scratch that love isn't a strong enough word to describe it. You feel the need to be with them at all times before you mark each other. Even after you mark each other, once you're away from your mate for more than a few hours, you start to feel sick, weak, grumpy. Your mate is your life force. If one of you is weak, the other is two because we are connected mind, body, and soul. Those around you immediately accept the person you're mated to without ever meeting them.

    My mate and I talk to my parents for a while. My party is still going, and I hear music blaring, and I can't wait any longer to hit the dance floor. 

"Mom, Dad, we will come to see you later. Right now, I really want to dance,"  I said with a grin. My mom laughed, and my dad had a smile and nodded his head. I looked at Ivan, and he looked horrified. I started giggling before grabbing his hand and pulled him to wear everyone else was dancing in the backyard. Ivan still looked uncomfortable, but the music changed from upbeat pop to a slow song. Then he smiled like he was in his element. 

    "I don't know how to slow dance, baby," I said 

    "Just follow my lead, mi amor."

{Translation: My love}

I nod my head. He puts Both hands around my waist and pulls me into his chest. I wrap my hands around his waist, seeing how I can't reach his neck and putting my head on his chest. He starts to make us sway back and forth. I feel at home in his arms like this. Wrapped in his arms, listening to his heart beating and slow dancing, it all feels so calming with him. It feels so right, and I don't want it to end. We stay like this for the duration of the song. When it ends, and the upbeat music begins again, it's his turn to follow my lead. 

    "Your turn to follow my lead,"  I said with a huge grin on my face. 

    He stares at me in shock that I'm really making him do this. I continue smiling and start jumping up in down with the music. I am waving my hands and laughing. I know I can't dance, but I love dancing anyway. Ivàn is staring at me and laughing so hard I think he is gonna cry. Then he joins me. We look like i***t kids just jumping up in down arms going everywhere, but we're having so much fun. After about 30 minutes of dancing, I got tired and thirsty.

    "I am going to get a drink. Do you want anything?"

    "I'll come with you."

    "Alright"

    We walked over to the table where the food and drinks were. We grabbed our drinks and then our food. I grabbed three hotdogs, five stuffed mushrooms, two pizza pieces, eight buffalo chicken wings, one taco, and a piece of cake. Ivàn looked at me wide-eyed at the amount of food I had, but as I said, no one expects a tiny girl like me to eat like a male alpha. I looked over at his food and saw that he had ten tacos covered in homemade hot sauce; he had five buffalo chicken wings and a piece of cake. After stalking up on food, we went to the patio to go sit down where we had before.

    I hear Ivàn mumble something that sounds like " Mi niña hambrienta,"  I look over at him and see him smiling at me. 

    "What does that mean, love?" 

    "It means my hungry girl, amor."

    I smile at that. He was not wrong; I am hungry.

    "Oh. I often have people shocked at the amount of food I eat. They always ask how such a tiny girl like me could eat so much." I say, smiling, and he laughs. 

     "I had the same question. Your eating about as much as my Beta Antonio does." Iván says, still laughing. His laugh was infectious, and I just had to join in. 

    We spent the rest of the party talking, laughing, and just getting to know each other better. I found out that Iván's full name is Iván Alo Castillo and that his mother was the alpha of his pack beforehand. His father was the Alpha of the Cresent wolf pack in Mexico. Until he found his mate here and decided to stay here and merge their packs, that's how my mate spoke Spanish just as good as English, and he had this accent as well that was toe-curlingly sexy. He has a twin sister named Izzy and two little brothers named Amore and Angelo. 

    Once it was about 1 AM, I began to drift off into a peaceful sleep. When I began to drift off, Ivàn and I were cuddled up on the patio on one of the couches.
