What’s Left of the moon

What are Mates For?

What are Mates For? 

******POV: Adeline******

My mate and I, start dancing again once, Vic and Nicholi walked off. My mate looks at me with pure love in his eyes. He makes my heart beat fast. If I was able to put my heart on a table, it would be in the next state by now. He makes me feel complete and warm. 

He pulls me closer and I put my arms around his neck. He kisses me on the nose and says, “ you and I have a lot to discuss Piccolina. (Little one)” I couldn’t help but be curious about what he was talking about, he saw the look on my face and says, “Don’t worry about it right now just enjoy your birthday baby.” Is it weird I want him to keep speaking to me in a different language, it’s kinda hot?

I put my head in the crook of his neck and breath in, if I keep doing that, we won’t last the night without me marking him. I think he knows what I’m thinking because I hear him chuckle, he whispers in my ear, “ Piccolina, You do know as mates our link opens up when we meet? And your thoughts were loud and clear.” 

Oh. My. Life. My face got red and he laughed even harder, he said,” Don’t worry babe we will get to that soon enough.” And then the sh*t winked at me. I slapped his arm and he took me by the hand and lead me to the table where my parents are with Eric and Hazel.

As soon as Hazel saw us, she jumped up and ran to hug me, she said, “ Welcome to the family babe!” I said,” Thank You, Luna.” 

All she said was,” please call me Auntie, or Hazel, or Auntie Hazel. I love them all.” I couldn’t help but giggle. 

Hazel spoke to my parents, “ it’s like I have myself a daughter now, I promise to care for her while she lives in Italy, don’t you two worry about a thing. That boy right there has done up enough work to last him for the next five years, waiting to meet this beautiful girl.” 

My dad was curious as I was when he asked, How old Dayton was? When Dayton spoke up and said he was 25. I was shocked, only cuz it looks like he stepped out of high school yesterday. I think Dayton knew what I was thinking cuz he smirked at me. 

My dad soon spoke up and said,” So you have waited for my Daughter for 7 years, the moon goddess can be quite concerning sometimes, but nonetheless. Thank you for waiting for our daughter, we know many mates give up after so long and find another but we are grateful to have you all now a part of our family.” 

My heart stopped thinking that Dayton could have chosen another mate. Dayton squeezed my hand under the table and spoke,” Our pack had a tradition of finding our mates, it doesn’t matter how long it takes, we also don’t date unless it’s our mate. I couldn’t imagine my life without finding her, so I threw myself into the work of being an alpha.” 

My father had a look of pride on his face and, Just Dayton talking makes my heart pound. We ate and walked inside the house seeing as it was almost 12. We went to my room and I noticed Dayton’s bags were already in my room. We walked in and I took off my shoes and went into my closet. I come out seeing Dayton standing there looking around at my room. 

I know that alphas get huge rooms, sorry whole floors to themselves, I felt self-conscious. He looked at me and said, “the whole place smells like you, and I don’t think I can leave it.” He has the goofiest grin on his face, it reminds you of a kid in a candy store.

He made me laugh so hard, it made him start laughing. I walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek and said, “ There is room in my closet for your things, and the six cabinets in front of the space are empty.” He smiled and walked to my closet with his 3 suitcases! 

Man the boy probably has more clothes than I do. Not to mention the duffel bag on the floor. I picked it up and laid it on one of my desks which are cleaned, while my other is covered in paints and brushes. I’m a clean freak, except when it comes to my one desk which seems to always be messy. 

I walked in behind him and grabbed some shorts and a tank top to sleep in, he turns to me with a curious look on his face and said,” wait why is there so much space in here, do they not get you clothes?”

I giggled at him which made him growl at me, sexy btw. “ No they get me plenty trust me, but when we go shopping we donate the clothes, shoes, and jewelry that I don’t wear hardly or at all” we make sure our pack members have good clothes and make sure they have more than enough, anything that is left, goes to a human donation center.”

My mate looks at me in awe, which makes me want to tackle him….omg, I need to calm myself.. nope not happening. He lifts his nose high and looks at me with complete dark eyes, it’s his wolf. They can smell my arousal, I close my legs tight and start walking backward slowly, as he creeps towards me slowly. I make it to my closet entrance and run…. 

He let out a loud growl. I make it to my sofa as I try to run around it to my bedroom door he runs around me blocking the door and he tackles me!!!! I land on my back on my sofa. I land with a thump on my sofa, I look up at him and he is hovering over me with one of his legs between my thighs. 

He leans in and kisses me and makes his way to my neck. Before I know it he is completely on top of me, and I am grabbing his hair and pulling him impossibly closer to me. He is nipping at my neck which helps the situation ….NOT. I feel little Dayton on my leg. Mmmhm yup on my leg. 

He pulls up from kissing my neck and said” little Dayton? Baby, I promise you he isn’t so little.” He gave me one last kiss and walked back into the closet.

I slowly crept behind him and picked up my clothes I don’t remember dropping and run into the bathroom and lock the door behind me. I take me a nice cold shower, then I got tired of that and put on some hot water. I got out and put some stuff in my hair to keep it from being frizzy and I put on some of my favorite body lotions. 

As I walk out I notice Dayton, watching tv on the sofa. He looks at me and starts breathing rapidly. He gets up and walks to me and kisses me, he closes his eyes and puts his head on mine. “ baby put on my shirt, please I don’t know if I can control my wolf if you aren’t the least bit covered.”

I looked down at what I was wearing and I can see where he is coming from my tank top and short bed shorts leave nothing to the imagination. I put on his shirt and he thanks me and walks to the bathroom with clothes in hand. I am baffled about what all has gone down today. I take a minute and breathe. 

I realize we didn’t eat much and just picked at our plates, mostly it was him through our link, thinking about how sexy I was, I don’t think he realized it was opened. A mate link feels different from a normal pack link.

Either way, he is an alpha and I am one too, we eat a lot ….like a lot, we are always eating. I go down and grab our plates full of foods and deserts. As I got back in the room with all of it, he is coming out of the bathroom. 

He smiled at me and said,” How did you know?” He looked at the plates full of cookies, cake, pies, and whatever else and said, “ I’d rather have you for dessert tho.” And left it with a wink.

My face when red for the 100th time tonight. Then I return my attention to him…..he has no shirt on. Oh, my ooof. He is fine. He has a 9 pack, like not one, six, or whatever…. 9. Don’t get me started on his wet tan skin. And those muscles. Mmmm nope snap. Out. Of. it.

After I take a breather I walk to the table and put our food down. Then I walk to my mini-fridge and grab myself a lemonade. I ask him without looking at him, “what drink would you like?   

He replied, “ Do you have any lemonade.” I couldn’t help but giggle and grab another lemonade. He looked at me and before he could say anything I said, I love lemonade too. He just smiled and sat down on the floor in front of the coffee table that held our food, I sat next to him, and we both dug in.

After we were done we both sat on the couch cuddled up asking each other 20 questions. 

Like what your favorite food? His is stake and mine is pizza What’s your favorite color? His is blue and mine is blue..(now green) I’m not gonna tell him that he will get even cockier. We talked up until 3 am, we finally went to bed. We fell asleep in each other’s arms, it was almost the best sleep I’ve ever had. Until I had a nightmare.
