The rest of the day passed in a blur. We finished packing up midnights and pendletons stuff and went back to the pack house. We fell asleep on Deans bed and woke up that next morning. When we woke, Dean insisted that I have the bedroom right next to his so that he could make sure I was always safe. I didn't mind though, I enjoyed being close to him. He walked me into the room that adjoins his, to the left.
I walked into the room and I saw a beautiful king-sized, cream-colored four-poster bed. It had a light pink duvet with white sheets and light turquoise throw pillows. There were cream colored night stands that matched the bed on each side, with a matching dresser to the left of the bed. A long cream dresser was up against the wall in front of the bed with a large flat screen TV. The walls were painted a crepe pink with a clover print that was white.
There were western signs on the walls that I had in my old bedroom and a few new ones. There was a large photo of me with both horses above the TV and two small ones of each horse on the nightstand. I looked in awe and I couldn't help but have the biggest smile as I walked around the room. I looked at dean and ran to him. I gave him a big hug and a quick peck on the lips.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is so amazing! How did you manage all this while we were gone just in that short amount of time? Then we were sleeping" I gushed out, while blushing.
"This is nothing. You deserve the best amore. The best thing about being alpha is that everyone wants to help him and their future luna." He smiles as he wraps his arms around my waist.
"They are building a two-stall barn outside your window so you can see the horses anytime you want. Plus, when you move into my room you will still be able to see them. It's just a small one for now. There's two-stalls and a tack room. Will that be enough until we build our home? We can build a bigger one next to the house. You may pick where it is built, but I do want to show you one place." He smiled down at me, pulling me close.
"You are beyond amazing. I don't know what I did to deserve you. But thank you so much, that is more than enough. I'm looking forward to seeing it." I hugged him and lay my head on his chest. "I need to speak to your mom though."
He frowned. "Why?"
"I need to ask her a few more questions about what being a Luna is and a werewolf. So I figured she could help me know that I am living here."
"Oh sure, I will let her know. Meanwhile, get ready for the day and I will come back in a bit to get you and I will show you around the land so that you become more familiar with it. Wear something comfortable." He gives me a quick peck and leaves.
I walked to the closest and saw that most of my clothes were already hung up and neatly folded. The rest were in the back still in the box. I grabbed a black pair of leggins, a western turquoise sweatshirt and hiking boots. I quickly got dressed and just threw my hair back in a braid. I walked out of my bedroom and started down the hallway to the stairs when I heard someone behind me. I stopped and turned around.
"Mia! Come here, my dear! I would like to show you something." Leah hollard from the end of the hallway. I walked towards her and smiled once I got to her.
"Good Morning, Luna Leah." I hugged her and she returned it.
"Please... Stop with the luna... Call me either mom or Leah. Luna makes me feel old." She said softly, while smiling. I nodded and followed her into the room.
Inside the room were walls upon walls of books. I walked around and saw that there was every kind of book imaginable. There were fantasy, horror, fiction, silence, encyclopedias, history, biography and cookbooks. There were at least 15 more sections that I didn't look at and I'm sure that they there were more genres. I ran my hands along the books in awe. Some were so old they looked fake but you could smell the slight vanilla, musty, moldy smell coming from them. I turned and looked at Leah and had the biggest grin on my face.
"This, my dear, is our library. Only the alpha, luna, betas and gammas are allowed here. Along with their children. Dean said that you loved reading so I wanted to show you this." She smiled, warmly at me.
"This is so amazing. Dean might regret telling you that I loved reading because, now that I know this is here, I'm never gonna leave this room." I laughed.
"Come on Mia, Dean is waiting for you downstairs." She said, chuckling, and she gently pulled me out of the library and down the hallway and the stairs.
We make small talk walking down the stairs and it is so comforting. I feel like I have known her forever, she feels like another mom. I feel like I need to bring up the Luna stuff so she knows that I am interested in it and that I want to take a step forward.
"Leah? May I ask you a question?" I stopped and she turned and stopped to face me.
"Of course, Mia? Is everything okay?" She asked, worry in her face.
"Please don't tell Dean but..."
"Oh dear... Give him a chance, I know he is a pain and that he isn't the easiest to love, but he loves you so much already." She spits out.
"Um..." I chuckled. "I was gonna ask if you could start teaching me about the luna duties and more about werewolves but not to tell dean yet. I don't want him getting the wrong idea," I whispered.
"Oh! Of course, I will help you! We can just have a few days a week to start off with so you're not overwhelmed by that and school." She smiles brightly at me.
"Great thank you so much!" We finished walking down the stairs and walked to dean that was waiting at the end for us.
" Look at these two beautiful ladies." He says while pulling me into a hug. "Are you ready?" He looks down at me.
"Yes. Thank you Leah." I smiled and waved to her. She waves and walks off in another direction while we go outside.
"What was that about?" He looked at me confused.
"Oh... she just showed me the library is all." I gave him a small smile.
"Oh okay, great. What did you think?"
"If you ever can't find me, I'll be in there somewhere." I chuckled.
"I kinda figured." He laughed.
We kept walking for about twenty more minutes and then we came to a lake. It was beautiful. It was crystal clear all the way down. You could see thousands of different colored rocks beneath the surface. It was frigid cold since it was glacier water. It had small little waves rolling on the shore just below our feet.
"This place is breathtaking," I whispered.
"It definitely is."I turned to see Dean looking at me and I blushed.
"So why did you bring me here?"
"What do you think of this place for our home?"
"Our home?" I frowned.
"Yes, we will not stay in the pack house forever. I thought if you liked it here, we could maybe build our house here? I would like to start the construction of it as soon as possible." He said hopefully.
I looked around one more time. I see a tree hanging over the lake and I see our kids hanging on to a rope and then letting go as they jump into the lake. I looked off the side and I saw a clearing just beyond the trees and walked over to it. I stood in the middle and looked around. The tree draped over the clearing like a protective blanket. I looked out at the lake and I saw us running along the shore line chasing our kids. I look back around the clearing and I see us playing games with our kids in the yard while barbecuing with friends and family. I looked at Dean and I saw his face full of hope.
"I would love to build our house right here." I said as I walked to him and stopped right in front of him.
"Really?" He grins.
"Yes, but I have a few conditions." I smirk.
"Anything." He says as he grabs my waist and pulls me into a hug.
"There has to be a rope swing off that tree." I pointed to it and he nodded. "We have to have weekly barbecues out here and invite the pack. I also want a white house with a warp around porch. Only two stories with 6 rooms. 4 bedrooms, an office and a little library. Lastly, we need to have a 5 stall barn and a two-hundred by one-hundred and fifty foot indoor arena."
"I think I can make that happen for my luna." He says, looking around smiling.
I grin and lean up towards him and he leans down to meet my lips. They connect and it's like the fourth of July all over again. I hope this feeling never goes away. I wrapped my arms around his neck and jumped up. He catches me by holding onto the back of my legs, wrapping them around his waist.
I felt him walking and I felt my back hit a tree. I break the kiss needing air as he continues to kiss down my face down to my neck, leaving a trail of sparks along the way. I gasp as he kisses my neck where it meets my shoulder. He lets his hands roam my body and he slowly slips one hand underneath my sweatshirt, making skin to skin contact. I rolled my head back and let out a soft moan. He growls and I shiver.
" Beautiful baby girl... But be careful. I only have so much control." He growls out, smirking.
"Let it go then." I whispered, looking down at him seductively.
He freezes and looks up at me. I smiled and leaned down to plant my lips on his. He kisses me back haistly. He slowly backs away from the tree and kneels down on the ground. He lays me on my back and I blush. He takes off his shirt and I stare at his muscular chest and abs. I watch his muscles flex when he makes the slightest movement. He reached for the bottom of my sweatshirt and waited for my permission. I nodded and he slowly pulled it up and over my head.
I was only wearing a hot pink lace bra beneath it and I tried to cover myself with my arms but he grabbed both my hands in one of his and held them above my head. With his other hand, he slowly drew circles over my soft tummy and smiled at me. He then leaned down and rested on his free forearm while still holding my wrists.
"Do not hide from me. You're mine and I'm yours. If you try hiding from me again you will get punished" he said gruffly before he leans down further and kissed between my mounds.
I moan and try to move my hands, but he holds them firmly in place. I try to wiggle but her pushes my hips down. He slides his hand lower till it's just above my underwear, leaving a trail of sparks. I let out a soft moan when I hear a threatening growl. He stood up and growled at something behind us. I sit up and I see ten wolves surrounding us. I pale and look at Dean but he doesn't seem to notice my uneasiness. I stand up so my chest is against his trying to cover myself.
"Well... Look at what we have here. Two young pups..." An older man said.
He looked to be in his forties but still extremely fit. He had salt and pepper hair, with dark brown eyes. He appeared to be around six foot. He slowly walked towards us and stopped just a few feet in front of Dean. Dean growled and stood up straight so the man couldn't see me fully. I peaked around deans shoulder and I saw the man give me a slight smirk.
"She will be a beautiful mate of the king." He says.
"She is my mate, no one gets to touch her." Dean growls out fiercely.
"You will go against your king boy?" The man glares at Dean.
"Yes. She is my mate, I will go against anyone who tries to take her away from me." I softly squeeze his arm to calm him down and he relaxes a little bit.
"You heard him boys... He is a threat to your king. Get rid of him, but do not hurt the girl." The man growls and the wolves begin to walk towards us.
"Don't worry, people are coming to help. They will be here any minute." Dean reassured me and I nodded.
But all at once, they lunged at us and Dean shoved me out of the way and shifted into his midnight black wolf. They all land on Dean and they start to fight. Clawing and snapping their jaws at him. I saw blood dripping down his legs along with the other wolves dripping in blood. But I see Dean start to slow down. I started to panic, looking around for something to help with.
"Hey, let's try out our magic," Emerald says confidently, and I nodded.
"Okay but how? We need to hurry!" I said, worried as I saw Dean fall to the ground. I didn't care if anyone found out about us, I just needed to make sure he was safe.
"Lets try to protect him first. Your mom has said a spell once before and she said 'Protego Maxima'" Emerald said.
I closed my eyes and focused on Dean and said "Protego Maxima" and pointed towards Dean.
I see a light flow towards Dean and then like a white cape drape over Dean. He looks around curiously and then looks at me and his eyes go wide. All of the other wolves' blows hit the shield and bounce back. They get madder and turn towards me and start walking.
"Oh crap..." I whisper.
"Say 'Phasmatos Morsinus Pyrox Allum' It is a pain infliction spell," Emerald says hurriedly.
"Phasmatos Morsinus Pyrox Allum!" I shouted and raised my hand towards the wolves.
They all fly backwards and fall to the ground, yelping in pain. They all whimper and try to get up but can't. They just lay there curled up trying to paw at the ground trying to get away, but it just intensifies the pain for them.
"What are you doing?" The man shouts and stomps towards me.
I started to slowly back away and bumped into a tree. He cornered me and put his hands on either side of my head. He sniffs and frowns.
"How is that possible? You... You can't be... You're the true king's daughter, aren't you?" He pauses and looks at me backing away a few steps.
"Who are you?" I said coldly.
"I was your father's beta. My name is Levi. He trusted me to take care of you and your mother. But she fled with you once Hunter found out about you, after he killed your father. I've been looking for you and her ever since. You have grown into a beautiful woman. Your father would be proud of you." He kneels before me. "My queen, please forgive me and my men."
"Relax and the pain will go away for the wolves," Emerald said. "But I still don't trust him, so, be careful.", I mentally nodded.
"Why are you here?" I asked plainly.
"Hunter said that you were his mate and that he needed you. I thought it was weird that he had a mate that was so much younger than he was, but you never question the mood goddess's decisions. So I set out to bring you back to him. I didn't know you were King Atlas's daughter. You smell just like him. Please forgive me your majesty". He bows his head.
I heard Dean groan in pain and I rushed over to him. He had large gashes all over his body and they were oozing blood. I felt tears come to the front of my eyes but I blinked them away. I hovered my hands over his wounds and started humming. They slowly started to heal. I started to feel light-headed and I looked at Levi and his eyes wide in shock.
"We used a lot of magic so it's taking a toll on us since it was our first time." Emerald said, exhausted.
"You should leave before our warriors get here. They won't take it kindly that you hurt their alpha. How do I know that I can trust you?"I glared at him.
He kelt down and bared his neck to me and said "I am under your control, my queen. I will always follow your orders. I made a promise to your father and know that I've found you. I plan to keep the promise for as long as I can. I will reach out to you in a few days." I nodded.
He and the others all bowed their heads and took off in the opposite direction. I looked back at Dean and he was looking at me like I was crazy. I sat down next to him and started to rub my head. It was starting to hurt really badly. He leaned over to me, picked me up and set me in his lap. Everything started spinning and right before I blacked out I heard Dean say something.
"What are you and how did you do that?"
Then everything went black.
