Fated

Destruction.

The next morning I found myself reliving yesterday. My parents were gone.

Callie was now queen and Luna

of Royal acres.

Cole for the first time in our lives was alone, free to decide the fate of the packs as he pleased.

Here I was laying in the massive bed, Mason had left an hour ago, my thoughts were so intrusive, I couldn’t even bring

myself to get up.

‘E?’ I asked.

‘Well good morning lazy, I was beginning to wonder when you’d push the thoughts.

Stop over thinking. You’re free now. And you

have a man who can’t wait to get home to his Luna.’ She replied

Sometimes Envy was helpful. Sometimes she was a smart ass. Today, she was both.

‘Why did our life have to be so complicated?

Wouldn’t we have been happier had we been normal a normal unranked wolf?’ I sighed

‘Stella we are who the moon goddess wanted us to be.’

‘Who is that?’ I asked in a defeated tone.

‘Strong, independent, dependable, loving, and Luna. Mason thinks the world of you. Why are you doubting yourself now?’

‘Besides my rank. What makes me special? My parents are criminals, who treated

us badly. They scarred me for life.

How am I to be Luna, when I was broken for so long?’

‘Think about what you just said. Who caused the bad things to happen to you?’ She asked and I knew she was about to have a point.

‘My parents.’ I grumbled.

‘Exactly. You aren’t the problem. They are. Stel you no longer have to say what pleases them to keep you from trouble.

Use your dark past to make a brighter future for your new pack.

Believe in yourself as you believe In everything else around you. I know change is hard. But give it a chance. New pack, new life.’

She smiled comforting me.

I laid in bed a while longer before

deciding Envy was right. I got up to take a shower, grabbing my clothes and toiletries from my bag, before walking in to Masons

bathroom.

I studied the details, and things in eyes

view. ‘He’s been through a lot.’ I thought looking at the shattered mirror.

Which could have also been why his buns were always a mess.

Poor thing couldn’t see. I got in the shower, before quickly getting dressed to find

Liam’s room. Beginning to think he didn’t live here I finally heard a familiar voice.

"Stella!" Roxie called.

"Thank goddess Rox I’ve been looking everywhere." I smiled picking up my pace.

"I was looking for you too. Liam needs to see you but can’t get ahold of your phone."she shrugged.

"I didn’t charge it. Where do I need to go?"

"I’ll call him. He said he’d come to you once you were awake." She smiled. I nodded and walked back to Masons room.

Continuing my inspection, Masons room was destroyed. Clean, but destroyed.

Liam came in handing me a file of properties and looked around.

"Had we known we would have fixed the place." He lowered his head.

"It’s fine Liam. Believe me. I’ve shredded my fair share of curtains. But I do want to ask you, would he be mad if I changed anything. Maybe freshened the place up? The bathroom mirror is shattered and you can’t see anything." I explained my question.

"Talk to him when he gets back about the room. As for the bathroom I can have a mirror installed in an hour." He smiled softly.

"Am I allowed to look around? The pack house I mean." I asked.

"Of course. Everyone is eager to meet their new Luna. Is that why you’ve been in here all day?"

"That and just everything I think I needed a breather." I sighed.

"It will get better. Maybe tomorrow you and roxie can go shopping or something. Get you out of here and destruct you." He tried cheering me up.

I knew back home if I needed anything I had to order it online, or send someone to get it.

leaving the palace gates was prohibited.

I laughed to myself once he left. My parents

Rules were ridiculous.

I quickly found Roxie and we explored the house, meeting a few omegas, I wondered why they looked dirtier than normal.

Outside we met a daycare teacher who was taking pups to the park. She gasped when she saw me.

"You must be our new Luna." She gleamed.

"Future. But yes, it’s nice to meet you I’m Stella and you are?" I asked kindly.

"Amber, the pleasure is all mine, our pack is eager to have a new Luna, our last one, Alpha Masons mother was wonderful." She said her emotions getting the better of her.

"It seems you looked up to Luna Black. I’m so sorry for her passing."

"She was wonderful, and Alpha Mason is doing wonderful, juggling it all, but he can’t do it all alone. Our pack has really come together after what happened." She said as if I knew what she meant.

"May I ask what you mean?" I asked. Unsure if I really wanted to know.

"Before Luna passed our borders were stormed by rogues, our defense fell quickly untrained like most.

They got to the pack house where the Luna and Alpha Mason were. They were after him. No one knows why. Luna saved his life, but lost her own unfortunately.

Alpha has tried getting answers, why they targeted him, but never found his answers.

He got his wolf that day, his fear triggered him." She explained.

"The truth always comes to light. And if there is anything I can help with if your daycare needs anything. Please find me." I smiled.

The Dark Moon pack wasn’t as large or for lack of better terms greedy.

They used what they had, they were self sufficient. Unlike other packs who depended on the kingdom.

Roxie and I walked around awhile longer, before I saw my car drive up and I laughed.

‘Mason is back E.’ I smiled.

We happened to be in the front of the pack house he got out with a identical file that was upstairs, and a wide smile.

"Liam said you’d finally gotten up." He smiled kissing me softly.

"I’d been awake. I just chose not to move." I giggled. I could feel eyes on me.

"Are you girls hungry? Liam is on his way back and said he would meet us at the cafe down the street." He said right as my stomach began to growl.

"Starving." We said in unison. I rode upfront, roxie in the back, Mason held my hand the entire time.

The diner was cute, like a 50s cafe from grease. We sat in a booth in the back while Mason had me looking at properties.

"I like this one." I smiled holding the fourth paper I’d read, 6 bedrooms, with a swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, and the kitchen was lovely. He took the paper and started a maybe pile.

I read through 8 houses in total and two maybe three If Mason could find out if two walls could be knocked down. Was all I liked.

Liam finally joined us and I was finally

able to give my reading eyes a break as we ordered. Mason studied the pages id handed him, Roxie looking at the others.

"So Liam since they’re house hunting. How was your day." I smiled feeling the laugh from Mason.

"Honestly, exhausting. Watching the Luna is hard work." He grinned.

"I was in a room. Alone! How was that exhausting." I laughed.

"I’m joking. I ran errands, picked up some training gear, and met with a lady that owns a local flower shop. She’s had a obnoxious amount of bees in her honey suckle." He smiled.

"Mase?" I asked.

"Um good, I trained this morning, went meet with the gammas to replace Haley, got that worked out, and then somehow got called in to another about the warriors I have training. And snuck out before anyone else could call." He explained.

Silence was ended by a short brunettes carrying our plates setting them down. Our eyes met and she froze.

"Are you okay?" Liam asked her looking between us, as she stared at me. Her eyes watering.

"Emma?" I finally got out.

"Stella? Is That you? what are you doing here? *gasp* they didn’t banish you too." She jumbled her words I was still in shock. The once beautiful blue eyed brunette princess was now skin and bones, her eyes sunken in, waiting tables.

"No, uh no they didn’t. Masons my mate. Emma, are you okay?" I asked worried about my sisters appearance. My heart hurt and I was furious.

"Me? Yeah I’m fine. Honestly never better stel, being away from that place is the best thing that ever happened to me. Mom and dad were monsters." She smiled wildly.

"I am so sorry they did that to you. All because you’re wolfless. And your right they are monsters." I agreed.

"Wolfless? Stella I have my wolf. Her names Jasmine? Where did you get wolfless?" She asked quickly.

"Mom and dad said you didn’t shift that night. They banished you for it. Just like Damon" I answered.

"I shifted. So did D. We were banished because we saw through the bullshit. Sorry Alpha. We struggled Damon more than me. But nana and papa let us come visit whenever we want, we were worried for you and Cole until we learned cole was king. Stella we were sent away because Damon and I threatened to go to the council.

The council was made up of five of the original wolves. Made imortal to keep the packs across the world safe. They never intervened unless it was a king or queen in question. The alphas took care of their packs kings took care of the alphas. My heart skipped when she spoke again.

"Damon went back. He was at your shift to make sure you did. Just like Cole. Mom and dad lied stel. They’re covering their tracks, please don’t think I’m crazy." She looked worried.

"Mom and dad were banished yesterday morning to the night walker pack. Placed in solitary confinement until death. Cole banished them himself. Their actions finally have consequences. We’re all finally free em. You can go home." I smiled.

"This is my home. I’m never going back unless it’s to finally get to see my twin brother. Stel." She said softly.

"Is Damon here?" I asked.

"He is. He works as a trainer. He’s done really well for himself. He’s so grown up and happy. Which was all I ever wanted for him after dealing with me."

"What do you mean em?"

"After I left I got sick, unlike anything we’ve ever heard of. We were with nana and papa, and the west end pack couldn’t help. So we left, hearing of Dr Rena here we waisted no time. I’m just now getting better, and back to working, it’s been a long road. But I’m healing." She smiled. I stood up wrapping my arms around her tiny frame, bawling my eyes out roxie wrapping her arms around us and Emma squealed "Roxie!"

We exchanged numbers and she went back to work while I wiped my tears. Mason rubbed my back.

"Damon’s a trainer. Mase do you know my brother?" I asked suddenly dropping my fork his smile said he did and I clapped.

"Liam why don’t you arrange for Damon and Emma to move to our side of the pack house. Stella has a lot of catching up to do with her brother and sister. And roxie her cousins." He smiled kissing my forehead.

We went and looked at the three houses and picked the first one ultimately. But it needed a facelift so Mason scheduled painters to come and paint the outside and inspectors to come make sure it was livable.

We finally made it back to the pack house, Mason led me to his office where I was hit with pine. "Damon." I whispered.

"My how you grew look at you. As beautiful as the moon." He smiled hugging me.

"I missed you." I cried his messy brown hair the same as always.

"I can’t tell you how much I missed you. Emma said she told you I was at your shift." He said as we sat on the couch.

"Yeah, don’t remind me of that night. After was when mom and dad turned really quickly." I rolled my eyes.

"You are our future Luna stel, I always knew you would lead beside someone powerful." He said looking at Mason. His face expressed his happiness but also loyalty.

"Your brother here was the first trainer we ever had who was worth anything. Quickly surpassing every record set. Had I known who you were I would have made you general of the warriors." He said proudly.

"I like working my way, making my hard work pay off.." he smiled.

"Damon was the only one before cole to be able to beat my father in training. He’s been a fanatic his entire life. He taught me to fight, and to work hard for what you have. To be equal." I said not taking my eyes off my older brother. Envy jumped and howled in my head excitedly.

"Damon’s the reason I didn’t expect respect as Luna. I’ll earn their trust, and respect. If it isn’t earned then it doesn’t count. Nothing in life is given only taken. He was wise at 17." I smiled adding to my commentary.

"And that is what I love so much about you little star, any other future Luna would walk in here as if they had been here forever. Making demands and punishing anyone for talking. You are completely different." Mason smiled kissing my forehead.

"You can thank my family except my parents for it. We were all raised to earn what we wanted. Damon was the prime example. He went to school and got a degree instead on top of taking care of Emma. Instead of letting everyone know he was the son of the former king. Noble should have been his middle name." I said softly.

We talked for hours, Emma came in and roxie while Liam and Mason picked up dinner before we all ate and headed to bed.

I woke up the next morning, to a empty bed. Mason was supposed to have been here with me all day, so I was upset. The sun was barely up, and envy was still asleep. Rolling over I decided to try to get some more sleep, until I tossed and turned. Eventually laying closer to Masons pillow.

Mason

I’d woken up around 6, the sun was coming up, my beautiful Stella asleep in my arms, I didn’t want to get up, but I knew when she did, she’d be hungry. I informed the omegas I’d need one of them on stand by today unknowingly when she would be up. I said good morning to the pack that was in the dining hall already, informing them I’d be out of office and if I was needed to call Liam.

When I opened the bedroom door Stella was close to where I slept, her hair usually, so put together was a mess, I gently got back in bed careful not to wake the beautiful woman laid next to me.

"Mase?" I heard her soft sleepy voice, making me hard as she ran her hand along my chest, knowing a cold shower was in my future.

"I’m here beautiful, I didn’t mean to wake you." I said softly brushing the hair from her face.

She stayed silent, feeling her body against my chest as she rolled over, suddenly I calmed down enough that sleep took over again.

We had been up for an hour and she already had a princess movie on, her face lit up as she watched, making the torment worth it.

"Thank you for letting us watch it." I heard her say against my chest. I kissed the top of her head whispering. "Anything to make you smile little star."

‘Mason’ I heard Liam come through the link.

‘Yeah?’ I questioned. ‘Damon found a rogue sent here by Stella’s parents he wasn’t apart of the night walkers but he was a child, I don’t know what to do with him.’

‘Take him to the cells. We will interrogate him. Did he say anything else maybe a message from her parents?’ I shifted making Stella jump

‘He said they didn’t say he was just sent here.’

‘Bullshit. Have ayro, and thatcher go in and see what he’s made of I don’t trust the bastard, no one gets sent here without a message.’

‘He’s a kid Mason’ I heard as I laid my head back watching the smile on stellas face as I drew circles on her shoulder.

‘So was I Liam. Handle it. Or I will.’ I closed the link, focusing on Stella. Her eyes never leaving the movie.

A million questions raced through my mind about the rogue that I didnt realize the movie was over, or that Stella was staring at me.

"Did you hear me?" Her eyes worried. "No love I’m sorry I was thinking." I half smiled.

"I said we can do whatever you want to now." She smiled. ‘I don’t think she’s ready for what I want to do’ I said to obsidian. With a laugh he shook his head.

"Is something wrong?" She asked sitting up. "No not at all. Why?" "Usually you’re more relaxed I feel like somethings wrong. You can talk to me." She smiled grabbing my hand.

"I’m alright love. Just relaxed." I lied, she leaned down kissing me I groaned against her lips as I got hard again. I wrapped my hand around the back of her neck as I kissed her.

Stella

He leaned over holding me close as our lips danced. He groaned against my lips wrapping his hand around the back of my neck as I laid my leg over his hip. Pulling away he rested his head against mine

"I wouldn’t do that little star. I may not be able to control myself." He whispered kissing my neck. His lips brushed across where he would mark and my body shuttered. "Mason." I breathed. A growl came from his chest as he continued. ‘He wants us stel.’ Envy called. ‘I don’t know that I’m ready.’ ‘He won’t hurt you. He loves us.’

I pulled Mason back to my lips bringing my knee up to his side as he grabbed my thigh I felt his c**k against my other leg sending shivers down my spine. He moved back to my spot and I felt myself get w*t him making him smile knowing he could smell my arousal "Mason." I moaned this time he pulled his t shirt off me in one motion examining my body. "Goddess you’re perfect." He said softly running his hand down my side.

"Are you sure?" He asked his eyes worried. "I am." I replied kissing his shoulder, up to his marking spot I felt his fingers exploring as another deep growl escaped his lips I felt his thumb making circles the tingles I felt every time I touched him now seemed like child’s play as I felt like I was on fire.

At that moment I didn’t think it could get better, until he placed a finger inside earning a moan from me, I reached down grabbing his c**k the smile I saw was brighter than any other, his lips crashed against mine, his tongue becoming familiar with every inch. I felt a ball form in my stomach, as he trailed down my jaw "Mason." I whined "it’s okay baby. C*m for me baby." He whispered in my ear peppering kisses Down my neck his lips grazed my marking spot, sending me over the edge I moaned loudly, almost positively knowing everyone in the house heard me.

He pulled my hand up laying me on my back, he hovered over me like an angel, I could feel my c**t swell again his shorty were off now the first time I had a full look at him as he took me in. "Goddess its huge." I blurted out, he smiled running his hands from my knees to my hips. "It will hurt for a moment love." I nodded gripping his wrists I felt his tip slowly push in giving me time to adjust. The pain at first seemed unbearable, but soon I involuntarily bucked my hips letting him know I wanted more and he pushed in slowly. "Are you okay baby?" He asked leaning down. "Mmhmm." "You’re crying." "Happy tears don’t ruin it mase." I giggled placing my lips against his, he thrusted slowly in and out for a few moments before picking up his pace.

"Goddess you're tight baby." He grinned watching my breasts bounce up and down. "Does it feel good?" He added taking my left in to his hand. "Yes! Mason!" I exclaimed when he took my n****e in his mouth sucking and biting it softly. Moans began to pour from my lips while he explored my entire body, I wrapped my legs around his waist, my hand in his hair as he sucked on my right n****e. "Mason!" I screamed arching my back as I felt the ball forming and he hit my g Spot over and over again.

"You are perfect little star. Let me feel you c*m around my c**k baby." His words came out in a almost whisper but his tone was deep and raspy. A few more thrusts I arched my back again feeling like I felt stars I moaned back to back, I felt him twitch and we rode out our or***ms.

Later that afternoon mason ordered us lunch, turned on the second princess diaries, made me o*g*m again Twice! Let me fix his bun and finally I took a shower.

We walked down to the dining room hand in hand that night, sitting at medium sized table with me right next to him. Liam and Roxie joined, Roxie sporting a new mark. I smiled looking at it. All of the pack has the same mark who was mated, a black crescent moon with their initials in it. I smiled at the thought of mine. Knowing the quicker we did it the quicker I became Luna.

Mason never pushed it, he knew I wasn’t ready as I studied everything going on the pack that I would take over for two weeks straight while he worked.

We finally moved in to our house, I’d went grocery shopping today, while he was training some new warriors all day. I called coLe checking in and Emma came for lunch.

Now I sat in the living room watching friends, waiting for Mason to walk in, dinner was ready, table was set, I knew his first task was taking a shower when he got home, so I’d laid out clothes for him. Finally hearing his truck pull in I sat up straightening the dress I had on.

The door opened and sweat and leather hit my nose. "Baby?" He called. "Living room."

Mason.

It had been a tough day training unskilled warriors since 5 am. It was now 7 and I knew Stella would have dinner ready, I raced home, almost leaving my truck in drive I ran in smelling her soft scent of vanilla, I’d wanted to mark her since the first night we mated, but I knew she wasn’t ready.

"Baby?" I called taking off my training shoes at the door. "Living room." I heard her soft song like voice fill the silence. "How was your day beautiful?" I smiled taking her by surprise.

I usually come in kiss her and take a shower, but tonight, I laid my head on her stomach, between her legs, my legs hanging half off the arm of the couch.

"What are you doing mase?" She smiled running her fingers through my hair. "I missed you. I know since we moved in, I’ve been working a lot. I’m sorry." I said wrapping my arms around her hips.

"You’re alpha, and a damn good one. I’ve missed you too, but I know you have responsibilities." She said softly. I knew she was lonely, Emma and Roxie came by a few times but they were also busy, Stella was a homebody, she didn’t leave unless she had to. She buried herself in the Luna duties, making sure she had everything down and ready to go once she became Luna.

"Well, my responsibility tomorrow is spending the day with you, whatever you want to do, no work, no Luna studying, no training, just you and I." I said running my hand across her thigh. "Really?" She exclaimed happily. "Yes sweetheart. Just me and you baby." I smiled looking back at the tv.
