Sleeping With The Moon Goddess

Meeting Blood Moon

Damien

We figured that today we would take our mate into the city and show her around her new home. We pointed out a few of the closer pack houses and the new main training center where the warriors would meet for training.

We drove down several more streets pointing out great shopping boutiques and restaurants that we thought she might enjoy. We parked and walked around for a while, ending up at this wonderful Italian restaurant for lunch.

There were definitely a lot of curious stares at our new mate from other pack members but she either didn’t notice or she didn’t pay them any attention. She seemed entranced by the tall buildings and the hustle that comes naturally with being in the city.

After several hours of exploring, we made our way back towards our main office. I still wanted to introduce her to our Beta’s and head Delta before we made an announcement to the pack. I sent a mind link asking them all to meet us in our office in ten.

“This is your main office?!” She asked as we rounded the corner and pulled into the driveway, “It’s beautiful!” She was just so damn cute, I couldn’t help but reach over and give her a kiss before getting out of the car.

Looking up at the 5-story stone building, I guess it was quite impressive. I guess I have never really paid much attention to the detail that was put into it. Taking her by the hand, we led her through the large front doors.

“Alpha Damien, Alpha Aiden, welcome!” Arlene says with a bow as we enter.

“Hello Arlene. Camille, let me introduce you to Arlene. She manages the front desk and handles all of the packs calls.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Arlene” Camille said, reaching out to shake her hand with a warm smile.

“The pleasure is all mine, Camille. My, what a beautiful name! If there is ever anything you need, anything at all, please do not hesitate to call me!”

“That is very kind of you, thank you!”

“Alpha Aiden, Alpha Damien, would you like for me to reroute your messages to your personal folders?”

“Not at this time, please continue forwarding anything not marked as urgent to our Betas’ invoice until further notice.”

“Of course” Arlene replies with a bow before returning to her desk.

Continuing on into the elevator, Aiden hits the button to take us up to the fifth floor. As soon as the doors open, the chatter in the room quickly dies down as all eyes fall on our new mate.

“Alpha’s” they said in unison as they all stood and bowed their heads.

“We appreciate you guys coming on such short notice, as well as taking on extra responsibilities these past several days.” Aiden began, “but we wanted to first introduce you to our new mate and your future Luna, Camille.”

Loud shouts and howling came from each of the men as they congratulated Aiden and I.

“Alright, can you hurry up and introduce us to your gorgeous mate so we can meet her already!”

I couldn’t help but laugh, Ian was always so impatient. “Baby girl, this is my Beta Ian, he was my Beta at Bloodlust.”

Ian swooped in, taking her hand, “Watch it”, I warned, but he paid me no mind.

“It is a pleasure to meet you, Luna Camille.” He said as he gave her a wink while flashing his best debonair smile. His boyish charm made her giggle as she shook his hand in return.

“It’s wonderful to meet you as well, Beta Ian.”

Ian was always quite the ladies man but he was the best damn fighter next to Aiden and myself, maybe even more so, but he had proven himself beyond loyal to a fault. His father was Beta to my father, and his grandfather Beta to my grandfather. I trusted him with my life and even the life of my sweet little mate if it came to that.

“Princess, this is Beta Keegan. He was my Beta from Harvest Moon.” Aiden had said,

“It’s so nice to meet you, Beta Keegan” Camille said, taking his hand.

“The pleasure is all mine, Luna,” he then leaned down towards her ear and in a more hushed tone he continued, “And if you ever need me to help straighten Aiden out, you just say the word! The damn bastard works too much!”

They both came away laughing. Aiden was about to open his mouth when I cut in, “Don’t you dare, try to deny it!”

“Alright fine, but I’m sure that now I have a good reason to make it home early every night!” He said before leaning down to give her a sweet kiss, making the guys all hoot and holler. She blushed at all the attention, making her cheeks turn the most adorable softest shade of pink.

“I’ve never heard of a pack having two Beta’s before, but then again, I’ve also never heard of a pack having two Alpha’s before, so I guess that’s fitting!” Our sweet mate said, as I put my hand on her lower back caressing the skin under her shirt.

“Well, we uh, actually tried to fight for the lead title once,” Ian began, “neither one of us would concede and the fight lasted so long that we both had multiple broken bones and had both lost a lot of blood. Damien finally called it before we ended up killing one another.”

“Hey, I’m ready for a rematch anytime!” Keegan shouted playfully.

I couldn’t help but notice the expression on her face listening to Ian; I thought her eyes would pop out of her head. “So that is why there are two Beta’s?”

“No” I snorted, “they were already made equal Beta’s of the pack. These dumbasses just wanted to prove to each other who the top Beta was and in doing so almost left us Beta-less.”

“Alright, alright, my turn!”

“Sorry Lucas,” Adien said, “Baby girl, this is Delta Lucas. He was chosen for our new pack by Ian and Keegan.”

“Damn right they did, because they knew I was the best looking of the bunch!” Lucas said as he took her small hand into both of his.

“Oh, here we go again” groaned Keegan.

“It’s an honor to meet you, Luna Camille.”

“The honor is all mine, Delta Lucas.” She replied, giving him a gorgeous smile.

“Alright, that’s enough!” I yelled as I wrapped my arms around her waist, picking her up from behind and creating a little more distance between her and the rest of the guys. “Let’s sit.”

I sat down on one of the lounge chairs before pulling her down onto my lap.

“Hey baby girl”, I smiled down at her before giving her a quick kiss. “Hey Sexy” she smiled back up at me.

I suddenly questioned if having her sit on my lap in a room full of guys was the smartest move on my part. I quickly got my answer as she subtlety wiggled her ass against my groin. ‘Oh Goddess help me’.

Ian

I remember the exact moment my wolf became excited and restless. I couldn’t figure out what was going on but I felt like something was about to happen. A minute later and the most mouthwatering scent hit my nose. I know everyone says that when you find your mate, you can almost feel their presence.

This can’t be what this is, can it? I didn’t want to get my hopes up because out of all the packs I’ve visited and the places I’ve traveled, I have yet to find her. Maybe this is my punishment for all the bad things I’ve done in my life. I probably don’t deserve a mate. As much as I was known for being a ladies’ man, the truth is, I used to hold out so much hope waiting for my mate, until, after so much disappointment, I just couldn’t stand it anymore.

Suddenly, I heard the elevator ding and as soon as the doors opened, that heavenly smell was even stronger. I looked over to see the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on, and there she was, standing between my Alphas.

Wait . . . . . did they just introduce her as their mate? . . . . . . . Why did the Moon Goddess hate me so much? What did I do to deserve this life? Not only do I not have a mate, I then have to be attracted to my future Luna! The one woman I can never have.

I quickly swallow the lump in my throat along with my thoughts as I try not to stare at the curve of her hips for too long and go back to my charming, mate-less, self.

After Damien introduces me, I take her hand; I can feel something when I touch her, it isn’t strong but it’s there. I search her eyes but she felt nothing. I do my best to keep my composure and get through the next few hours, nearly draining Aiden’s bottle of bourbon in the process.

I pulled up to ‘Joes’ and made my way to the bar. Without saying much, Joe poured me a double and left me to my thoughts.

“Hey sexy, long time no see.”

I used to love the sound of her voice, especially when I used to make her scream my name. It was so sweet and innocent sounding, but now it just sounded dull and annoying.

“Avery” I said, trying to put on a smile, “How have you been?”

“Lonely”

She always did get right to the point.

“Is that so? Well, maybe I can help you with that?”

What the hell was I doing? I stopped sleeping with the girl for a reason. She wanted me to take her as my chosen mate, but I think it had more to do with status than her actually wanting to be with me, but either way, she got too clingy for my liking. However, tonight, I need something to help take my mind off of Camille, and Avery would make for the perfect distraction.

Camille

Today was an absolute wonderful day with my mates as they showed me some of their pack lands and I got to meet their Beta’s and the pack Delta.

Damien’s Beta Ian looked to be around his same age, just as tall and was built solid like Damien, so it made sense they grew up in the same pack. He was definitely a Greek God sculpted from clay status. He and Damien almost looked like they could be brothers, but I could guess that he was never lonely for company. For being an elite warrior, he still had this fun, playful side to him though.

Beta Keegan looked to be a few years older than Aiden, and tough as nails. He was tall, with dark short hair and very charismatic. He had found his mate a few years ago and, as he put it, ‘officially retired from being the pack's most eligible bachelor – handing that title off to Ian’.

Delta Lucas, was slightly shorter, with sandy blonde hair, and soft boyish features. While he didn’t appear to possess the large rippling muscles held by his counterparts, he must be one hell of a fighter if Ian and Keegan chose him out of a pack this large. He had a large and entertaining personality and seemed like he would most likely be the life of any party.

We all sat in Aiden and Damien’s office and talked for a few hours over some drinks. Sometimes the conversation would turn towards work but then someone, usually Lucas, would steer it back towards a more light-hearted and fun conversation. I was able to learn a lot about each of them and my heart soared knowing my mates had such incredible and loyal friends at their side.

Shortly after, Aiden announced to the entire pack through a mass mind link, and even though I had not been officially accepted as a member of their pack, I could hear the mind link as clear as anyone else. I wasn’t sure how this was possible, but then again, I haven’t been able to explain a lot of things recently.

“Members of the Blood Moon Pack, it is with great joy that Alpha Damien and I would like to announce that we have found our mate!” You could feel the excitement and the cheers coming through the link. “There will be an official Luna Ceremony to follow shortly. We invite you all to attend and to come welcome your new Luna of the Blood Moon Pack, Luna Camille!” There were several more seconds of cheering before Aiden closed the link.

Tomorrow morning, Aiden had promised that after training he would take me to their office and introduce me to the pack coordinator who would be helping to plan my Luna Ceremony.

I was excited but also slightly nervous. I had been trained to take over as Alpha, not necessarily a Luna. Planning events and parties and simply being the calming presence in the room while the men discussed war strategies and trade negotiations wasn’t exactly me. I wanted to be just as involved. Maybe my mates would be willing to let me have more responsibly once I learned the pack.

I made a mental note to talk to them about that soon. Feeling full after dinner, I made my way into the massive walk in closet to find a pair of pajamas. I was glad to see it had since been filled with both of my mates' clothing. I had spent several long nights alone waiting for my mates, and now that I had them I didn’t want to ever be alone again.

I made my way to the bathroom to get changed and brush my teeth. Aiden and Damien were already on the bed watching some show on TV that I didn’t recognize; Aiden was leaning with his back against the wall at the top of the bed in a pair of grey sweatpants that nicely showed off the thick bulge between his legs. Damien had on a pair of black athletic shorts and had his arms resting behind his head in a way that showed off his biceps and chiseled chest that would make any she-wolf drool.

As I stared at them, I had a curious thought that popped into my head, the same one I thought of when I had watched them fight each other this morning. I continued into the bathroom to finish getting ready as I wondered how to go about this. My father had raised me to be direct in my actions, as an Alpha should be, so what have I got to lose?
