Retired Luna, New Mate

Buster

'Ready to go?' Buster asked the group.

Today his oldest niece becomes Luna of another pack, he is both proud and sad.

Proud that his little Letz has herself a good Alpha mate and sad because it means he will see her less.

'Uncle Buster we have been ready for an hour, let's get going?' his youngest niece Lainy calls back while still brushing her hair.

Buster always spoiled his nieces, he chose to never take a mate. Being the Beta of Redmoon pack was hard work, if the moon goddess wanted him to have a mate he would have found his fated mate by now. He hadn't, so no kids meant he got to spoil his 3 nieces all the time.

Everyone piled into the 4 cars they had chosen and headed towards the border.

'Rogues at the north east boundary' came a mindlink from one of the warriors.

'How Many?' Buster replied

'Around 20 Beta and there is only 3 on patrol on this side'

'on my way with 3 more'

He turned the car and mind linked Anton the new plan.

'Don't be late, or Letty will kill you' came his sister Adys voice.

'Would I do that? I will slip in later'

He stopped the car and seen the rogues, time for a bit of fun he thought as he shifted into his brown wolf.

Hours later he is barrelling down a back road at top speed, he only has half and hour to make it to the ceremony. The rogues didn't take long to take out but the 2 prisoners did not break for hours, once he finally got the information he needed he only had 2 hours to make Lettys big day. How could he have lost track of time so badly?

He finally pulled into the territory of Cloaked Moon and got waved in no problem, Ady must have explained. Pulling up at their packhouse Buster was rushing for his bag out the back and the 3 warriors with him were just as frazzled, Letty was important to everyone in their pack.

'I'm here Ady, where do I go?' he mindlinked his sister.

'Finally, we are on the second floor. I'll meet you at the stairs'

After a couple polite smiles to some passing she-wolves he bounded up the stairs. There was an amazing smell in this building, it was faint but like fresh seawater. Strange.

'I don't even want to know what took so long, you are in that room' his sisters red hair and angry face looked like she was on fire as she pointed to a door marked guest beta, 'Once you are showered and changed come to our room, it's 2 doors down' she didn't even give him a chance to reply as she stormed away to her room.

His room was huge for a guest room, but like most wolf guest rooms it's made up for mates. 2 sets of drawers, 2 sinks, he shook his head as he jumped in the shower.

Once he was fresh and dressed in his all to tight suit he checked in the mirror, his red hair was smoothed as much as he could and his Hazel eyes were bright with the adrenalin from the fight. At 6 foot 7 he looked like a glorified doorman in his black suit, he really wished this wasn't so formal. After loosening his collar he headed for his sister.

He only got one knock before the door was whipped away and he was dragged in the room. Looking around Anton and Adys room was even bigger than his.

'So did you read the info I gave you last week?' Ady looked at him knowing the answer. When Buster shook his head she sighed.

'Alpha is Damien, he is silent but by all accounts he has made this pack strong with Luna Leanne by his side. She appears to be a very traditional Luna,'

'Oh great. I loooove formalities' Buster butted in sarcastically, which got him a clip round the ear and a hearty chuckle from Anton.

'Actually she seems really nice, Letty was telling us something about them being contract mates and as of tonight Lea gets to leave and find her fated mate' Ady added.

'That's strange usually chosen mates still stay together, although won't she be a little old for a fated mate now?' Buster mused out loud.

'Not at all, she is younger than us. Only 37, they have their 18 year old son Johnny and 16 year old daughter Rosie, who looks like she is well on her way to being a top warrior' Ady finished.

'Great I know who people are, is there any food left? I'm starving' Busted put his hand in his pockets.

'No time we need to get down now' Anton said as he stood and headed to the door. 'There is supposed to be a big barbecue after the ceremony though'

'Now that's what I'm talking about' Buster practically skipped out the door as they headed down.

During some quick introductions with Alpha Damien, his Beta and gamma Buster kept getting little whiffs of the fresh sea smell. Its as if it was taunting him on every fabric in this garden. Everyone was finally told to take their seats.

Busters knees were hitting the seat in front of him, he really should have asked for an end seat or something because this was not comfortable. He was to busy fussing over the seat that he completely missed the Alpha passover and suddenly there was clapping. Clapping his hand his head rotated like everyone else's to see the Lunas enter.

As they appeared Buster couldn't help but swell with pride when he saw his niece she looked perfect and confident in her white dress. Gone was the little girl that he knew.

His eyes drifted to the vision next to her, long brown hair tumbled in waves around the most angelic face he had ever seen. With a long dress that just showed off perfectly average breasts and hips to die for. He didn't miss the bare feet either, this was not the traditional Luna he was expecting. Looking back at her face a smile played on her full lips then a small frown before a well rehearsed blank expression remained. As she passed his position the scent of the Fresh sea washed over him. This was her, his fated mate, she was perfect.

Once she reached the stage he couldn't help himself he stood up,

'Hello Cloaked moon pack and Redmoon pack I...' her clear and angelic voice faltered and Buster stopped.

'Um Sorry,' As she continued he would not remove his eyes from this vision in front of him.

As the crowd started to stand to cheer he made his way through the crowd to the aisle. He couldn't hear the cheering around him as he finally got her fully in his vision.

'MATE' his mouth roared it before he could control himself, everyone went quiet and she finally looked straight at him.

Those beautiful blue eyes were calling him and his body needed no command to go to her.

As he looked down at his gorgeous mate she finally replied in a quiet whisper

'mate' his heart nearly exploded when she said the word.

'WHAT THE F**K'
