The Full Moon Luna

Parker: Her

The weather near my pack territory wasn't great which meant we were late arriving to the party celebrating the new Alpha of New Moon Pack. I hated being late to things. As the premier Alpha of the reigning eight packs, I held myself to the highest standards and being late certainly didn't meet those. 

While my Beta Wyatt drove our rental SUV with my Gamma Nico in the front passenger seat, I sat in the back responding to emails regarding several important pack matters. We were accepting in some new members from a smaller pack that had recently disbanded and new homes needed to be constructed on pack land for them. The pack was also involved in various construction businesses to support our finances and we had several major projects in the works. I preferred our home on the East Coast to the rainy weather of the Oregon territory where New Moon pack lived, but regardless of how I felt about the territory and the inconvenience of the timing, I needed to be here.

Three years ago when I met Alpha Daniel and Luna Nicole, they'd brought their son Aaron with them when I took over Full Moon pack. He was a decent boy of eighteen at the time and knowing Daniel's record, I had no doubt in the last three years his son had grown to be solid Alpha material. I needed this to be a quick trip regardless. I had to be back in my pack territory within 48 hours to close some crucial deals. 

We pulled up to the pack house with 10 minutes left until midnight. Perfect. We'd made it just in time. I climbed out of the SUV and headed straight for the pack house ballroom where I saw Alpha Daniel and Luna Nicole pass on their responsibilities to their son and his mate Cara. She looked like a nice girl, certainly not my type, but Daniel looked happy. 

The pack howled and I joined in, a form of congratulations to a fellow Alpha. Suddenly, a powerful scent struck my nose. It reminded me of strawberry lemonade and the scent off the lake on a warm summer day. I stuck my nose into the air, compelled to follow it.

Suddenly I saw her. A gorgeous blonde with wide blue eyes in a dark navy dress. "Mate!" my wolf Otto yelped inside my head. I took five huge strides to close the gap between us and pinned her up against a wall back in a dark corner of the ballroom.

"Mine." I growled under my breath, firmly gripping the back of her neck and pushing her lips to mine. At first I could tell she was shocked but I suddenly felt her body relax and her lips began to dance with mine, both roughly and gently moving over each other. My other hand found her firm ass and I hitched her leg up around me.

She pulled back slightly. "Mate," she whispered. Her voice was like music to my ears. I nuzzled my face into her neck and she moaned slightly.

"Yes beautiful. You are my mate." I said running my fingers up and down her exposed spine, realizing now that her dress was backless between her neck and the base of her spine. I was suddenly jealous that all these other men this evening had been able to see so much of her gorgeous body.

"Who are you?" she asked, breathless. I pulled back a little to look into her eyes.

"Alpha Parker White. And who might you be beautiful?" I shot her a slight smile.

"Wait, like the Parker White? The Alpha of Full Moon?" she had a concerned look on her face.

"That's me. Does that scare you little one?"

"No. I'm just surprised is all. I'm Addie Larson, daughter of former Alpha Daniel Larson." So this was the mysterious daughter I never met. She was fifteen when I took my Alpha position and therefore unable to attend my celebration. That made her six years my junior. Looking at her, I instantly knew she was worth every extra day I'd waited since my eighteenth birthday for my mate.

I kissed her again and then pulled her back in close, taking in another whiff of her wonderful scent. She wrapped her arms around my neck. "I wondered who you'd be," she whispered.

"I've waited a long time for you," I whispered back. I kissed her neck on the spot where I planned to mark her soon, and I felt her body shiver in excitement. "Come, let's go see your parents." I grabbed her by the hand and escorted her out of the corner towards the middle of the room where her parents stood. The crowd eyed us as we passed. I was used to it by now, but I could tell all the extra attention was making Addie uncomfortable and I gently placed my hand on the small of her back, pulling her in closely. 

"Alpha Parker," her father said as we approached. He reached out his hand and I shook it. His son and the new Luna were standing nearby as well. "Congratulations Aaron," I said, extending my hand toward him as well.

"Thanks Parker. I appreciate you making the trip out here," he replied, clasping my hand firmly in his.

"Of course." I replied, nodding my head.

"I see you've met our lovely daughter Addie. It was such a shame she was too young to attend your Alpha ceremony," Luna Nicole joined in.

"I have," I said. All of a sudden, I was clearly nervous. I didn't get nervous, but this was my mate's family. I could be the most powerful Alpha in the country, heck, I was the most powerful Alpha in the country and I was still terrified her parents would hate me.

"He's my mate daddy," Addie said, stepping forward and grabbing me by the hand. At first, Daniel looked like he wanted to kill me but then he quickly started laughing, slapping me on the back and congratulating us. Luna Nicole squealed with delight.

"Well, I can't say I'm surprised that my daughter was fit to be a Luna. I always knew she was special. I had no idea the Moon Goddess would see fit to join our packs together this way though." Her father pulled me into a friendly embrace. 

"If you don't mind, I don't mean to rush out but I'd love to get some time alone with Addie before I take her back to Full Moon. She deserves to get to know me before she comes home with me."

"Oh of course!" Luna Nicole gushed. "You two just run on away now and have a good evening. Don't even worry about missing out because you two need to connect. I am so excited for you sweetie." She pulled Addie into a tight hug and after she let her go, Addie took my hand and walked me out of the ballroom.

She pulled me up to the third floor of the packhouse which at this point was dark. As soon as she closed the door to her bedroom, I pushed her up against the door frame, my hands roaming every part of her body that I could manage to get my hands on. As she began to moan, I knew I'd found the most perfect mate, the most perfect Luna.
