You're Not My Mate

A Busy Week

Aurelia POV

I wake up perfectly rested the next morning. I turn around and reach for Liam but he’s not there. I bolt up and look around, but I can’t see him anywhere.

“Where are you, gorgeous?”

“Hey baby, we have almost finished training - OOF.”

I wince, feeling his pain. Someone had obviously taken advantage of the fact that he was distracted.

“Go kick their ass, babe.”

“Love you.”

I rub my head, it was like I could feel his pain through the mind-link. I decide to have a quick shower. I walk into the bathroom and switch it on. The shower is amazing, it’s huge and has a waterfall style shower head. I stand under there for a short while, washing my hair and then climb out to get dry. I sit down at the mirror area in the walk-in closet and take the time to dry and curl my hair and then rub in my body lotion to my skin.

I look at all of my clothes and try to figure out what to wear. I have no idea what the plans are for this week. I don’t even know what the timetable for the house looks like. I can see it’s a warm sunny day outside, so I go with high waisted denim shorts and a white spaghetti strap camisole. This is one outfit that needs underwear with the shorts, so I pull out a small white thong and a white bra. I get dressed and head back into the bedroom. Hmm. Still no Liam.

I decide to see if I can try to smell him out. I slide on a pair of sandals and leave the room. As I’m walking downstairs I can hear a lot of noise coming from the garden. I walk out and see a group of men all walking back to the house. And in the middle is my Liam. I smile to myself, watching him come closer. And then my lovestruck eyes narrow into a glare. Why is he covered in blood? From training? “WHAT IS THIS?” I demand when Liam, Cruz and Marcus get closer. Cruz and Marcus try to escape but I glare at them. “Is this from training?” They each flash each other a look, and Marcus is the first to nod, looking very guilty. “In future, can we NOT inflict injuries on each other? It’s ridiculous. I swear, the next person who causes an injury, I WILL make dress up in fancy dress for the entire WEEK.” And I storm inside to the dining room.

I’m sat the top of the table eating my way through my 3rd blueberry muffin when the 3 men come in to sit down. They’ve all cleaned up. Liam’s injuries are healing fast, and the other 2 aren’t too far behind him. I glare at them all and they take their seats quietly. And then Clara-Jane bursts out laughing. “FINALLY. Someone who can kick their asses!” Cruz narrows his eyes at her and she smirks. Marcus shoots me daggers across the table so I smile sweetly at him. Talula joins in with Clara-Jane laughing. 

“I’m sorry, baby.”

“Hmph. No more injuries, please.”

“It’s training -”

I interrupt him.

“No more injuries. At least, not on your face.”

“OK. Am I forgiven now?”

“Of course. Now eat your breakfast.”

“Love you, sweet baby.”

I smirk to myself as he tucks into a stack of chocolate chip pancakes and a pile of bacon. I look around the table and see how happy everyone is, and I realise, we were never this relaxed back when I was growing up. It was refreshing. I’m so glad the Moon Goddess found me someone to move away with.

“So, what’s the plan this week?” I ask Liam, as he leads me up to our top floor. “I’m sorry, baby. It’s going to be a busy one. With all of us away for a couple of days I have to get everything sorted for my father.” I nod, that makes sense. “I’m going to be holed up in my office most days, but I promise, every evening I’ll be all yours.” I nod and stretch up, while he leans down to kiss his lips. “We also have to officially make you Luna. We’ll do it this afternoon?” I nod at him, smiling. “Come by the office at 1. We’ll have lunch together and then make you official. I love you, baby.” He pulls me up against his chest and then walks us towards the wall of his office, kissing me. 

For a second I think he’s going to have me against this wall too, but then he drops me down onto my feet and shakes his head. “I lose myself in you. It’s dangerous.” “I thought you were going to have me against the wall.” I sigh at him, pouting. His eyes go dark and again he shakes his head, chuckling. “Stop winding me up, baby. I have to work now. But I promise, I’ll take you against this wall when you least expect it. Are you staying here with me or you going exploring?” My eyes light up at the thought of us in his office and I bite my lip. 

“I’ll go exploring, but I’ll be back soon. And just a side note. It’s the desk I want.” I wink at him and close the door as his mouth hangs open looking after me. I laugh. Thankfully I wore underwear today because I’m soaking just thinking of it.

I spend the afternoon exploring the house, looking in the different rooms and then heading outside to the gardens. There’s so many beautiful flowers that have been planted. It’s like a gardeners paradise. I decide to be a bit braver and walk through the centre of their village. “Good Morning, Luna” says almost everyone as I pass them. I smile, greeting everyone individually and getting to learn their names and who they are.

It blows me away how many houses are built here. I remember Liam saying he had 700 wolves in the pack, but I never really thought about how big that meant the village would be. I wonder how big the whole pack land is? I continue walking and find a small shop, but before I enter I can feel Liam trying to mind-link.

“Yes, handsome?”

“Baby, did you forget our lunch date?”

Oh s**t. I did. I pull my phone out to look at the time. 1.15.

“I’m coming now.”

“Mm, I hope you are.”

I blush. I had no idea how s****l wolves were until I found Liam. Now all I can think about is how much I want him. All day. Every day. Everywhere. I shake my head and try to ease the blush as I head back to the house. I wave to Lola as I see her walking out towards the pool and climb the stairs to the top floor. I walk into the office and Liam is sat behind his desk. There’s a trolley in the corner with 2 silver dishes covering our food, I’m guessing. “I’m sorry.” I quickly apologise and walk over to the corner sofa at the end of the room. 

“Don’t apologise, it’s fine. I’m glad you were enjoying. What did you get up to?” He asks, walking across the room to sit next to me on the sofa. He uncovers our food. Spaghetti bolognese with garlic bread. And it smells amazing. “I hope you still love me after watching me try to eat spaghetti.” I laugh, nervously. He squeezes my thigh and starts to wrap his spaghetti perfectly around his fork and eat it. 

Liam POV

The look on her face as I eat spaghetti is priceless. I can see her watching my every move and trying to copy it. I finish mine and she still has over half of hers left. I roll my eyes at her feeble attempts and chuckle. “Come here.” I move my leg out so she can sit sideways in my lap and take her plate and fork off her. I wrap her spaghetti up in the fork and feed it to her. She flashes her amazing smile at me every time. I’d feed her spaghetti for every meal if it got me that smile.

“You really are my Casanova.” She beams at me. Theodore wags his tail in my mind and I smirk. I’m disappointed there’s no dessert today, but we make the most of the garlic bread. I pull us to the middle of the corner sofa and lean her up against me. I let her bite a bit, and then I have a bite.

In between chews she tells me about her morning spent walking through the village. I love hearing how happy she is here, and how well she’s getting on with everyone. At 2.30, Cruz knocks the door. “You ready to become official, Luna?” He asks. I can feel how excited she is as she jumps up, leaving my lap empty. I suddenly feel like a part of me is missing and I want nothing more than to drag her back onto me, but resist. 

I go back to my desk and unlock the top drawer, pulling out a sacred dagger that had been passed down my bloodline of Alphas for centuries and centuries. I pass it to Cruz, who’s going to be performing the ceremony. He steps up all excited. He loves having any bit of responsibility. And as much as he can be an annoying d**k, he is an awesome Beta. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else do it. 

Aurelia comes to stand next to me and I can see her shorts have risen up more since she’s been on the sofa with me. I wrap my arms around her and discretely pull them down. She smirks at me, catching my attempt to cover her up, and squeezes my hand. 

“OK, love birds. You both ready?” Cruz asks. I ignore his attempt to get me to bite and we both nod. Cruz coughs and then you can see his serious Beta persona take over. He holds his hand out for mine and cuts across the palm of my hand drawing blood. “Alpha Liam Thor Kustoff, do you accept Aurelia Flavia Regulus as your mate and Luna? Do you promise to protect her, support her and love her?” I can feel the happiness radiating through me. One day we’d be saying vows like this to marry one another. “I do.” Cruz nods and turns to Aurelia.

I hate watching Cruz cut across her palm but she doesn’t even flinch. “Do you, Aurelia Flavia Regulus accept Alpha Liam Thor Kustoff as your mate and Alpha? Do you promise to love him, support him and his decisions for leading this pack? Will you devote yourself to this pack, supporting them and protecting them with your life?” “I do” She says, confidently glowing. Cruz nods, and brings both our hands together. We squeeze each others hands and watch our blood connect and flow down our hands into a bowl that Cruz is holding underneath us. 

“Well, you are officially my Luna. How do you feel?” Cruz asks her. I pout internally. He beat me to it. “Oh it feels good now to be able to put you in your place Cruz.” His face drops and she bursts out laughing and pulls him into a hug. “Ah Cruz, I love you really.” He pulls in her tight. “You’re not too bad, Luna.” She laughs and pulls out to come over to me. “OK Cruz, piss off.” I say, gesturing to the door.

He makes a face and walks out muttering about being an unappreciated Beta. I chuckle. Ever the dramatic. I reach out for her and pull her to sit sideways on my lap on the chair. “Well, quick and easy. How do you feel?” I ask, stroking her bare legs. She smiles nuzzling into my chest, whispering how it feels so good to be a part of the pack and how she can feel all of the new minds she can reach. And within a few minutes her breathing changes and she’s sleeping. I sit still, breathing in her smell for a little while. I pick up her hand and turn it over, it’s starting to heal already. I use the tissues on my desk to wipe away the dried blood until my phone rings. I grab it quick so it doesn’t wake her. I put it on hold and carry her to the bedroom to put her into the bed. I pull the covers over her and kiss her forehead before heading back to the office.

Aurelia POV

I wake up back in bed and try to think back through how I ended up here. I think back to the Luna ceremony. I take a quick peek at my hand and it’s pretty much healed up now, leaving a faint white mark which will probably disappear in the next few days. I could barely believe the change in my life over the last week. In just a week I’ve found a mate, and become a Luna. I radiate excitement and feel giddy with how happy I am. I almost skip my way to the office to find Liam before we head down for dinner.

The rest of the week flashes past us. Liam gets up early every morning to train with the rest of the fighters of the pack. I laze around the room and meet him downstairs for breakfast with the rest of the ranked members. I note that none of them have had injured faces since my outburst, which makes me chuckle. I had actually planned to apologise to them. I know they only do it because they take their training so serious. But it was awful seeing them all injured, especially Liam.

Liam goes to the office on our floor to work everyday while I go exploring around the village, we meet for lunch, and then I spend the afternoons by the pool. We meet for dinner together, and then we go back to the bedroom where Liam proceeds to give me at least 2 orgasms every night. I don’t know how he manages to do it, especially when he’s up training at 5 every morning. 

Before I know it, it’s Thursday night, and we’re both laying back on the bed exhausted after he’s given me my 3rd o****m of the night. “Do you think you have the energy for one more, baby?” He asks. I look at him like he’s crazy and he bursts out laughing. He pulls me close to him. “How do you feel about going back tomorrow?” I shrug. I know he’d been working hard to distract me this week about going home. He could sense my excitement.. But he could sense my nerves at the same time too. “I’m OK. It’ll be nice to see my brothers, Lucia.. And Junus of course. Do we get your private bedroom on the plane again?” I ask him, hopeful. He laughs and shakes his head. “Sorry baby, I don’t think we’d get enough peace with a full plane.” I pretend to pout and he laughs.

“So, is that an order for one last o****m before bedtime?” I can feel the wet pool between my legs at the thought. I spin around and climb on top of him, kissing his neck while grinding myself against him. Seeing his eyes go black with lust and his breathing quicken just fuels how wet I am. I grab hold of his d**k that’s now rock hard and place it against my entrance, and then slide back, taking it all in. Oh Goddess, he’s so big, and feels so good inside me.

I kiss his neck and my mark while thrusting myself up and down his d**k. His breathing quickens and he takes back control. Not that I mind. When he takes over, I know it’s going to be hard, fast and amazing. And without fail, he does just that. He starts slamming into me over and over, and reaches one hand down to rub my c**t back and fore hard. He knows I’m close. He can always tell. He kisses my neck and bites down on his mark, and at the same time I bite down on my mark on his neck. We both come together and the o****m makes my whole body shake and my legs wobble. I collapse onto his body and he hugs me tight.

“I love you, baby.” “Mmm.” Is all I can manage to get out. He chuckles. “I love you, Hot Bun.” I whisper. And before I know it, I fall asleep.

Liam POV

I hold her tight to me. Never wanting to let her go. Her breathing changes and I know she’s fallen asleep. With me still inside her. I slide her up my body gently, and pull myself out of her, and then wrap my arms around her again, holding her close. I was nervous about leaving the pack without any of my ranked members this weekend, but I had to remind myself that it was only for a couple of days. And it would be worth the worry to see my girl so happy. Plus, I had full confidence in my pack, the Elders and my parents. 

I had sensed her nerves all week. We were still getting to know each other - although, we had everything figured out physically. But I knew there was more to her nerves than she was letting on. I silently curse her father for making her this way. Making her doubt males, and like she can’t be honest with me. I stroke her hair, brushing it behind her ear to take in her face. After every o****m she would always get this glow, like she’s been working out on the beach and her whole body sparkles with warmth. 

I hadn’t told her. But I was nervous about going back to her pack too. Mainly for her father. I couldn’t work him out. From the outside, he was a very well liked Alpha. Other packs had great things to say about him - and before I mated with Aurelia.. Or even saw her.. I thought the same. But the way he treats her.. There’s something amiss, I just couldn’t put my finger on it. And every time he spoke to her like s**t or looked at her, I just wanted to kill him. Theodore was hard to keep under control around him. And I didn’t want to ruin her birthday.

But most of all. It was the Junus kid. She would call him every day, and as much as I tried to remind myself that they’re just friends.. It felt like there was more to the story with them. My mind flashes back to when she warned me to get along with him or she’d reject me. Would she really reject me for him? Just a friend? Or was he more? Would he try to take her from me? I instinctively pull her closer to me. Nobody would take her from me. She’s mine. My mate. My Luna. And hopefully soon my wife and mother to my pups. I smile at the thought of her stomach swollen, pregnant with my pup and end up falling asleep, dreaming of the day.
