Mason had been working a lot, but I didn’t want to tell him I was upset about it.
As Alpha I knew he had a lot of responsibilities, but the alpha he was, he took on more that most. Training the gammas, making sure all of the Pack members had everything they needed, keeping close contact with alliances he had made,but with training, most packs only had one assigned training.
Mason on the other hand had five just over training until Haley became Matt’s mate she was their best warrior, Dark Moon had.
Mason and I laid on the couch for about an hour before he took a shower.
‘Stel?’ I heard envy excitement in her voice.
‘Yes E?’ I laughed as she bounced around.
‘It’s been over a week, Masons been super busy, maybe you know. Go relieve some of his stress.’ She grinned.
‘Envy!’ (I laughed.)
‘Obsidian told me to tell you. He said Mase doesn’t just want to spring it on you.’ She said defensively.
I thought about it for a minute before getting up walking to our bedroom. I changed in to a bright red corset style teddy it was tightest around my ribs pushing up my breasts , walking in to the bathroom masons back was to me in the shower, a grin played at my lips as I opened the shower door.
"Baby?" I said softly with a smile.
"Holy f**k stel." His eyes wide and I saw his c**k get hard.
He reached his hand to me pulling me in the shower, against his chest his hands roamed my body. "Did you read my mind?" He whispered against my ear. "Obsidian did." I giggled. "Damn wolf." He chuckled.
"Goddess you are perfect. I just want to have my way with you, right here." He said placing kisses down my collar bone.
"Why do you think I came in here baby." I said seductively.His eyes met mine full of lust, as he looked shocked.
"I want you.. right now. Right here." I said putting my hands on his chest kissing his neck.
His hands wrapped about my ssa as he picked me up, wrapping my legs around his waist I ran my fingers through his wet hair. "I love you. And I’m so proud of how hard you e worked this week." I said resting my head against his forehead. "Sweetheart. To be honest, I feel like I’ve worked so much I haven’t had time for you. I love you my beautiful star."
"Maybe if I take over the Luna duties you wouldn’t be working so much." I smiled.
"You said you weren’t ready baby." He said pushing me against the shower wall. Attacking my neck.
"That was three weeks ago. I’ve been studying. And I’ve been doing a lot of thinking in your absence." I grinned.
"Oh yeah about what?" He said in a husky voice. As I felt him untie the corset tossing it over the door his hand cupped my breast. His lips moved all over my neck.
"I want you to mark me." I whined as he sucked my marking spot. His lips released and he looked up at me.
"Really? Are you sure baby?" His usual light green eyes now almost an emerald.
"I’m ready. I know you probably don’t want me marking you. Most men don’t but I want to be tied to you in every way possible.." I said softly.
"Baby, I’m not most men. I want women to know where my heart belongs. That’s with you. You tell me when and we will do it together in the most romantic way possible. I don’t care what I have to buy." He pushed his nose up behind my ear biting gently.
"You don’t have to buy anything Mase. I want you to mark me. Now." I moaned as I ended my sentence. His fingers pumped in to me suddenly. My head hit the stone wall behind me, as I moaned, he buried his face in my breasts.
"Mason! Oh goddess Mase please." I begged wanting his c**k instead.
He happily obliged to my request pushing in to me quickly holding my hips his tongue exploring my mouth and mine his as I tangled my handed in his hair. "Mason!" I screamed out breaking our kiss.
There were shelves to my left on the shower wall Mason propped my foot up on it taking my breast in his mouth as he pounded in to me I moaned loudly my head against the wall, I felt the ball form in my stomach, i knew he was close as he buried his head right over my spot bringing mine to his he thrusted three more times in me before I felt his canines on my skin. I felt mine sinking them in to his neck at the same time he did, the pleasure took over as we both licked it and I felt my release, only this time I saw stars as I moaned "Mason."
His hips stopped, as I came down looking at him. "You’re mine." He growled. A smile forming on his lips.
"You’re mine. And I’m yours. Forever Mase." I smiled kissing him again.
We cleaned up, got dressed again and walked down the stairs to eat dinner. Shocked when we saw roxie and Liam standing in the kitchen.
"How long have you been there?" "Since you yelled like you were about to hit Mason." Roxie said folding her arms.
"He took the shirt I wanted." I playfully tapped his arm.
"It’s my shirt." He laughed.
"Who won?" I asked holding my head high.
"You did baby. It looked better on you anyway my Luna." My heart felt like it would jump out of my chest. That’s when I heard gasps.
"Your marks. They’re so different." Roxie said.
"Congratulations Luna. Welcome to the dark moon pack. Officially." Liam smiled.
"Thank you. And what do you mean they’re different they should look like yours a full dark moon with our initials?" I asked looking at roxie. Mason grabbed my neck looking and a smile spread across his lips.
"What?" I asked looking at his.
"Oh my goddess it’s beautiful." I smiled at the crescent moon it looked so real, the shading was perfect, and the stars all around it spelling out my name.
"Does mine say Stella?" He asked looking at me. "Does mine say Mason?" I nodded my head.
"It does beautiful." He smiled kissing my mark. "Mine forever. Baby." He smiled.
"Why are yours different from the rest of the pack?" Liam asked.
"I’m not sure. Cole and Callie’s look the same as everyone else’s." I explained while Mason held me close.
"Mom and dads do too. I know every pack has different marks but dark moon has always been a grey shaded full moon." Roxie thought aloud. "Evie said maybe you’re special." She added.
"What is royal acres mark?" Mason asked me.
"It’s a crown, that has a half moon on the inside." I thought back to my parents mark.
"Whatever it is I’m sure it’s fine." Liam said while I heated dinner up.
"A mark always has something individual of the people marked. Usually it’s your initial and the sign of the pack. Yours is a dark moon and your names with stars. Maybe it’s just because your name is Stella. It means star." Liam said looking at his phone.
Mason kissed my forehead calming me down knowing I was worried as to why our marks were different. ‘Ours are different because we are different. You and Mason don’t see it yet but you are the chosen mates.’ I heard obsidian. For the first time I reslized I could link Mason.
‘I can tell you dirty things in your head when ever I want now.’ I linked him
‘Easy baby. I don’t want to have to embarrass us both with family here.’ He linked back.
I tuned Liam and roxie out as they did research and we all sat at the table. Mason ate faster than anyone and went for seconds.
‘I’m glad you like it..’ I linked.
‘Replacing calories before tonight. Are you still up for letting obsidian and envy run?’ He replied.
‘I totally forgot. Absolutely. I think that’s a great idea.’
We finished eating and I cleaned the kitchen mason was standing at the bar on his phone when I looked back he was in a link with someone.
Then his phone rang. He walked to the other room and roxie looked at me.
"It’s okay stel. The mark is different so what?" She smiled trying to be cheerful.
"That’s not what’s unsettling. What’s unsettling is now that our mate bond is complete I can feel his every emotion. Something isn’t right."
"Sweetheart. We’re going to have to push that run. I’m needed at the pack house there’s been a fight."
"Roxie come on. We need to get home. I save they need me."
"Mase?" "Yes baby?" "Can I come?"
His eyes said no. But I played the puppy eye card.
"Fine but you let me handle it. You may be Luna but if you get hurt I’ll kill my own pack."
"Yes sir." I grinned grabbing my jacket he led me to his truck.
Stuck in my thoughts I didn’t realize we had pulled in to the pack house Mason helped me out and we walked in to a wolf blood bath.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!" Masons Alpha aura made everyone bow sending shivers down my spine four wolves were fighting and two really injured on the side.
Masons temper rose, no one responded to him. He went to take a step forward and I spoke.
"Someone better explain before he loses his temper. This is childish, turning on your own? By the colors in your coats you’re related somehow. Is this any way to behave in front of women? Or pups? This is totally irresponsible completely uncalled for and demeaning to the pack as a whole. Shift back now and someone better had explain to me what you think you would have accomplished by violence." I commanded, Mason looked back at me with wide eyes. "You heard your Luna." He used his sons command.
"You have five minutes all six of you better be in my office I don’t care how hurt you are." He added walking us to his office.
The pack house was a wreck, I knew first thing on my list was a pack meeting. When I walked in to masons office I was taken aback, there were two beautiful mahogany desks that hadn’t been there two days ago when I came to have lunch with him.
He sat at one as I scanned the room. The curtains were now perfect and without tears in them, the lighting was impeccable and there was an entire wall of books behind the vacant desk with a Apple computer on it.
I walked to masons desk wanting to ask but he stayed silent I looked at the painting of his parents behind him, his mother was beautiful. She had long dark hair like masons and bright green eyes. I could see who he looked like.
"Mothers office was never rebuilt after she passed. But I wanted you to have your own space when you were ready." He broke the silence rubbing his temples.
"You mean that’s mine?" I smiled looking back over to the desk.
"It is baby. If you don’t like it I’ll change it all to your liking. Do what ever you like to it it’s yours." He smiled still clearly angry. I bounced to my desk as a smile a real smile formed on his face when I sat down spinning in my chair. "Can I put pictures of you and I on here?" I smiled.
"Whatever you like. I have one of us on mine. Also tomorrow two couches will be here I’d like to go over the plans of the rest of the additions with you." He said softly.
"After we handle the children." I grinned as I heard a knock. Six men walked in.
They couldn’t have been no more than 17 but Mason threw his head back as soon as he recognized them.
"You Jackson are the oldest. You are to set a damn example for your brother and your cousins. I want an explanation."
They stayed silent and Mason linked me. ‘Luna?’ He said softly.
"You better answer him or your punishment will be much worse. If you have to anser to me."
"Jackson knew I found my mate, when he learned it was Gisele he threw a fit. I tried explaining it wasn’t my fault. I know he truly loves her but she is my mate and I have to defend her." The youngest looking of the group spoke up.
"We were just trying to help Jason. Jackson made a fool of himself and had we not stepped in he would have ripped Jason’s throat out."
The only red head of the group spoke up. And Mason was trying so hard to keep a angry face. While all six of them looked at me.
"You we’re killing each other over a girl?" I asked shocked to say the least. "Who raised you mason?" I asked in a dramatic voice.
"Actually yes. He and Liam. And their father. Our parents were killed the night, our old Luna passed." Masons mother was killed? His response made me question.
"All of you train in the mornings?" I asked crossing my arms over my chest.
"Yes Luna." They all answered.
"You are to meet me at the training fields at 4 am sharp Every morning while your alpha trains. You will run 30 extra laps in that time for the next two weeks. And you will write a written apology to the pack for your actions. Do I make myself clear." I asked.
"Yes Luna." They answered.
"I want the pack house cleaned and out back together by the time I walk in in the morning. So you better get to work. Jackson you stay boys you can go." I ordered. They hurried out of the office and Jackson stood there staring at me.
"I know how it feels to be in love with someone and they’re mated to someone else. But to act in violence is not the answer. You are the eldest, you are to set an example to those boys. Because one day you’ll be mated and that love you feel will go away. And wether you know the person you are mated to or not you will love them 100x over what you love Gisele right now. I’m sorry you’re in pain. But your brother deserves to be happy." I said softly. The man stood like stone infront of me.
"You won’t be running laps. You will however write an apology to the pack, Gisele and your brother, and you are to meet me at the warrior training fields on Monday morning 7 am sharp. You have enough pent up anger you can help your alpha and I make our boarders more secure. I hope this is a lesson Jackson. I may be new and I may be young. But I have expectations of my pack. And as your Luna I expect the rules alpha Mason has set. Are we clear?"
"Yes Luna." He said softly.
"Get the pack house cleaned. I’ll see you Monday." I said looking away.
"And Jackson." I added as he opened the door.
"Yes Luna?" He asked.
"I’m not good at remembering. Names. Make the reason I remember yours a good one." I said before turning and pulling s book from the wall. Mason was frozen. As I looked at my book.
‘Mate marks and their meanings.’ I read. ‘Maybe that will tell us why ours is different E.’
‘Are you ignoring the drooling man staring at you?’
‘Yes yes I am.’ I smirked.
I began searching for types of marks, by packs. But there was no marks resembling ours, I turned to the rare marks page and it was the first mark there.
"Mason! Look!" I smiled looking up at him. Still frozen.
"Sorry that was hot." He grinned. "Okay okay. F**k me later. Come here and look it’s our mark." He rushed over hovering over me.
"What does it say?" He asked softly.
"The crescent moon and name written in the stars is the sign of the twin flames, (two people that share the same soul) it is said the moon goddess once every few hundred years makes a match as strong as this bond. From the beginning of our existence there has only been three mate bonds resulting in this mark." I read turning the page.
"The characteristics taken in research of these mates are always Alpha and Lunas with pasts of pain, and troubles.
Usually of direct decent of the moon goddess or Other deities, specifically, Hecate goddess of the dark moon, and her mother Asteria the goddess of fallen stars. Their power will reign supreme over any other bond and pack, the alpha is known to be violent, and possessive, where as the Luna has been known to be strong willed and brilliant. Together they can be dangerous to others attacks.
Powers include: the ability to protect each other, from a distance, their wolves can heal the other through the bond, but most notably in all twin flames their ability to bring their mates back from death at any point in time, and speak to those that are passed.
The twin flame, has been researched for hundreds of years the descendants are usually in direct relations of Asteria rarely that of Hecate." I read aloud as he listened.
"So we’re twin flames?" He asked.
"You complete me." I grinned. Making a heart in the air. Earning a laugh from him.
‘We tried to tell you we were powerful. But did you listen to us? No. You never do. Now that you know would you like to know what makes you different?’ I heard obsidian. Envy snickered in the back ground. I looked at Mason as he shook his head.
‘I feel a story time coming.’ Envy laughed. ‘Just tell us who we’re descendants of O. Envy and Stella are from Asteria.’ Mason replied.
‘Think about your violent past, and temper tantrums oh and the name of the pack and tell me who you think it is dumbass.’ Obsidian retorted.
"Hecate." Mason said a tone of shock in his voice.
‘Look who finally learned something.’ Envy called.
"Mase?" I asked. "Are you okay?"
"Uh yeah. Just a lot in one night.." he trailed off closing the book. We walked out to his truck and the ride home was silent.
When we walked inside he grabbed a beer and walked up stairs I knew he was going to the boxing room.
I began my own research to find how to speak to the dead, obsidian said it may help him with his parents. ‘What was his mom and dads names?’ I asked him.
‘William Black and Aspen Mason-Black.’ He replied. I walked to the Boxing room where I heard him hitting the bag.
Opening the door my heart broke. He was a mess. "Mase?" I asked he turned quickly.
"I’m sorry sweetheart.." he said as he looked at me.
"You are perfectly fine. I um. Learned something. And wanted to try it." I smiled hopeful.
"But first your hairs a mess again." I giggled. I wanted him to look good seeing his mom again. He walked towards me and knealt while I fixed it.
"Okay. Take my hands." I smiled. He obliged and I focused.
"By the moon and the stars I ask to see William Black and Aspen Mason-Black." I said Mason looked at me with his head tilted.
A flash of light came and his eyes grew wide.
"Mom? Dad?" He said dropping my hands.
"Hi masey look at you, you are all grown up." I heard. I turned finally she was beautiful, his father was the mirror image of Liam.
His father held his arms out to him wrapping his seemings small frame to his chest.
"Thank you son. I know you are upset but all I wanted was to be with your mother. You were the true alpha."
"But Liam’s older." He said looking at him.
"Age doesn’t define power. Masey. Your energy overpowers all of the packs. You are the true alpha. I sacrificed myself that night knowing they were after you because of who you are. They wernt rogues. They were king winchesters warriors." Her words hit me like a train. Mason turned to me pain in his eyes.
"We knew the moment you were born, you were astrias chosen. And Mason hecates. Your father was a cruel man as you know Stella, but when he learned who Mason was he did everything in his power to keep you apart."
"Why?" Mason asked.
"You will be the ones to end the war. Your reign together will be that made in history, and you will live a long beautiful life together. You will have beautiful children, once the war is over we will be free."
"Free from what?" I asked.
"We have to go. It takes a lot of power to be here. You’ll know where we are in time. Liam can help you. And when we see you again. We will finally all be a family. Mason my beautiful baby. I love you more than anything and I am so proud of the man aloha and mate you became. There is no one I’d rather see with you than that beautiful girl right here." She faded first, masons father still touching him spoke.
"I’m sorry for everything son. You were my greatest accomplishment. I just had to push you to see it. Don’t be upset about us. We will be together again. Soon. We will be back on earth. And you will rule. I am so proud of you. My son." He said as he faded.
Mason stood in shock, sadness and fear when he looked at me.
"Did he just say they’re coming back from the dead?"
"I think so?" I said. He wrapped his arms around me a sense of calmness came over him.
"Thank you baby." He whispered kissing my mark.
"I’m sorry my father had your mom killed." Was alll I could say.
"Believe me. If war is coming. I’ll have his head on the mantle." "Not here I’ve tried my entire life to get away from him." I whined with. A laugh.
He picked me up bridal style and carried me to our bed to watch a movie. Where we fell asleep quickly.
