Life of a Strong Luna

Only Moon Goddess knows

Cole POV

Luna Grace turned to look at me. “If you do not find your mate by the time you are 27. Would you consider having Rylieann as a choice mate? She would be 25 and you two have known each other for such a long time that if she doesn’t find her mate by that age I fear she will never find him. I know you would be a great alpha to our pack and that way when you two have little pups of your own we wouldn’t have to be so far away and we could see them.” I was in utter shock. Rylieann as my mate. I won’t lie it possibly crossed my mind of us being mates. What with us growing up together. I just couldn’t imagine how she would feel about it. I once overheard her telling her mom that the Moon Goddess won’t put us together. I know is still a child by pack lakes and I am considered an adult. I just know that it would make it easier to become alpha instead of having some random guy trying to take my place. Wait. What? What am I thinking? I couldn’t be her mate, she was so annoying. Though I will tell you she is beautiful. I can’t sense her wolf since she hasn’t shifted. Would it be so bad? We could be alpha of the pack with a beautiful Luna that was raised in the old ways. My wolf purred in my head. I gave a small smile before quickly wiping it from my face. “Well Luna I..” The car vibrated pulling my from sentence. I was rocketed back and forth because of the quick jerk put omg the car by alpha. Well s**t. I’m in for an earful now. 

“You can think about it. If you find your mate at the gathering then please by all means ignore what I mean. If you ever find her then ignore me. I would never come between you and your true mate. Though again if it doesn’t happen within the twelve years, I wouldn’t mind it.“ Luna smiled at me. I gave a small smile back at her. Her eyes didn’t leave mine for what felt like an eternity. I heard Alpha take a breath in. Remember to just take the consequences that he is no doubt about to give us. My wolf said in my head cautiously. Luna waved her hand at Alpha as if to stop him before he started. “It’s alright. It is a long time away and more than likely he will succeed you love.“ I stopped listening to what ever they were talking about for a moment. This is the first time that I had ever heard that I would be his successor. I never in my mind thought that it would be me. Only if I were to be mates with Rylieann did I think I would be alpha of Dark Moon Pack. I won’t lie to you. Even if we succeed the Alpha I still want to mate with Rylieann. She really would be a great Luna. I rolled my eyes at my wolfs comments.

“Just stupid Alabaster putting certain thoughts in my mind.” Luna laughed a magical laugh. I felt my cheeks begin to warm on my face. I looked out the window and put in my AirPods. I turned on my music loudly so that I couldn’t hear everything else that they were talking about. 

You know that you and I are one. I know that you have thought about Rylieann the same way I have. To look at her untouched skin. Knowing we would be the only once to touch her. ‘Shut up Roman! I am sick and tired of hearing you talk about her like she is some price to be won. Lets be real she would hate it if we were her mate.’ I was beginning to get frustrated with Roman. Yes that is true Rylieann wouldn’t be a fan...but her wolf would. You can’t really fight the bond of mates. ‘If we are mates then yes I would be happy to have her as a mate. But we could find out mate at the gathering of any other gathering that happens.’ It was Roman who rolled his eyes at me. I shut the connection and focused on my music. Rise Against began to play. I started to think about what life with Rylieann would be like. She would probably hesitate to mate. Especially since she doesn’t see me that way. Though as much as I hated to admit it Luna and Roman were right. It would be easy to be her mate. I sure hope the Moon Goddess has her as our mate. f**k! What was I thinking? I told Roman I didn’t want to think about this but I just couldn’t stop myself from thinking about her. I feel wrong thinking about her as a woman because she is still that of a child. I just couldn’t stop myself sometimes. She was starting to get her figure. Soft, smooth, untouched skin that I would love to sink my teeth and mark her. I thought we weren’t thinking of her as a mate or woman. Roman chuckled loudly in my head. I shut the link off again. I let him in with out knowing I did. I needed to get it together. Especially since I am in the car with her parents. I glanced over in there direction. Alpha Joseph was holding Luna’s hand and was kissing it. I did want a love like their’s. But did I want that with Rylieann. The most stubborn and frustrating she-wolf I have ever met? I guess only the Moon Goddess knows what will happen. I decided that I was going to go to sleep and not think about anything else that would stress me out.
