Complete Me

Luna Simon

The air is still and hot as rapid breaths continue to squeeze in and out my body.

I can’t do this.

No.

I’m not worthy.

“Just shut the hell up and take us to mate already!”

I grimace as Axel snarls in my head. Sometimes I swear this wolf hates me!

Today is finally my coronation to become Luna of the pack. But not just Luna...Levi’s official mate as well. I can’t believe there was a time where I thought I’d never be able to have a normal life, but now here I was. Having a better than normal life. Living out my own fairy tale with no regrets and no limits.

Life is strange isn’t it?

“Hey kiddo!”

I jump and cling onto the dresser before turning to snarl angrily at my father. He’s just recently entered my life again and we’re taking it slow to fix our connection as family. But I’m still not used to him being around. That plus the fact that he’s crazy silent when he moves so I never have a clue when he’ll just pop up.

“Sorry son, didn’t mean to scare you.”

Instead of repeating Axel’s colorful language, I just mutter it’s cool and climb down from my current spot.

It’s weird...having father back in my life. Not only back I. My life, but now we’re in the same pack yet again. I can see mom now, happy that things are finally going good again. But I’ll never know how she feels, because she’s gone. Missing one of the most important days of my life.

I suddenly break down uncontrollably as my wolf purrs in my mind. It’s a feeble attempt to make me feel better but I appreciate it all the same.

“Son, I wish your mother was here too. And you’re brother.”

I look up, surprised at my father’s words.

“I miss them every single day boy...and I hate that they’re missing such an important day in your life. But let me tell you something. I’m not. I’m here and I’m gonna walk you down that aisle because I’m proud of who you’ve become. Mighty damn proud! And I’m so sorry I’ve been horrible to you before.”

We stare at each other before crying and hugging.

This was just the boost I needed.

“Let’s do this” Axel purrs excitedly in my mind and I nod in excitement. Not just for now, but what the future will hold after this.

The scene in front of me is nothing short of breathtaking.

The pack hall was decorated with flowers that covered the aisles and walls. Blue and white roses with tiny crystals scattered all around them made the room look like the prettiest reflective surface I’d ever seen. Butter yellow bows were tied around the back of blue chairs and a white carpet was spread over every inch of the hardwood floor.

My wolf almost broke free because the happiness of this moment truly was overwhelming. After all I’d been through with my ex, I deserved this. As I breathe in, I feel a bit of anxiety just thinking about my old alpha. Subtle he knew my father and others had left his pack. Would he blame me? How would I handle seeing him again with the howler ceremony coming up soon?

I didn’t know. But none of that mattered.

Because I was in the here and now.

Ready to officially become a Luna…

And a husband.
