Lucas POV
Leaving Sienna's house, my heart feels so light and satisfied. I must be dreaming. We spent such an amazing evening; I didn’t want it to end. Spending quality time with her feel’s like
I won the lottery of life.
Going through my playlist, I find a perfect song that I hope someday I can play for her and me. She is already my everything. I know we're still young. But I also know that I’ll never want anyone close to me as much as I want her to be. She has become my everything so fast. I already can’t imagine my life without her. Thinking about it for a second, how did I live before meeting her? It feels so foreign now, not having her in my life.
I plug in my phone and listen to the mesmerizing lyrics. They fill my heart from the very first note.
(Mary your daughter – Brian McKnight)
♪Can marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I'll love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'til the day that I die, yeah
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
I can't wait to smile
When she walks down the aisle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter ♪
Someday, I will marry her. My beautiful Sienna. I will proclaim my solemn vows to her. I will cherish her like the queen she is. I know she’ll make the most wonderful Luna as well.
Someday soon, I’ll figure out what’s really going on with her, and I’ll make dam sure nothing hurts her ever again. I will protect her. She will be my queen, my Luna. The most beautiful Luna our packs have ever had! She is kind and thoughtful and smart. She will make an amazing Luna. I know it for sure! She’s already an amazing she-wolf to be around, I don’t see how being my Luna would be any different.
I’m already impatient for time to go by faster. I already want to have her back in my arms. I’m almost tempted to go back to her place and stay the night. But I don’t want to freak her, or her mother. I’ll have to wait for school in the morning to hold her in my arms again.
Tonight’s going to be a long night.
I also can’t wait for tomorrow night. Going to the falls is going to be epic. I’ll be able to keep her closer to me all evening. Teaching her to swim is going to be great. I’ll have her all to myself. Well, that’s is if Mike can keep Amy away from us long enough. I’ll have to talk to him about helping me out for that. If not, Amy will keep Sienna all to herself. I don’t want that. I don’t mean not letting them spend some time together, they are becoming friends. But I want to spend some quality time with her alone too. The more time we spend together, the more she’s comfortable around me. And that’s all I want, for her to be relax and comfortable and not so nervous all the time.
I think again about how she was so beautiful tonight. Concentrating so hard on finding the perfect books. Looking from row to row, her eyes shining when one caught her special attention. Her brows frowning slightly looking from one book to the other on each shelf. Curving her lips upward slightly when she concentrated on reading the back covers. I know she wanted more than 5 books. I wish she’d let me buy more of them for her, but she refused me solemnly.
Even the shop keeper knew her by name. She must go there often. She held on to them like they were her life. It put such a great smile on her face. I want her to have this kind of smile on her all the time. It was so genuine and carefree. She seems to be trusting me more and more every day. I just hope she’ll trust me fully soon enough to tell me who’s hurting her so badly. It hurt me to know she’s being abused so badly; that she feels afraid to be around people. Or even have friends.
Thinking again of our wonderful evening, of how she looked in that petit camisole in her kitchen, regardless of her scars. The way she looked at me, so passionate and maybe a little… lustfully? before kissing me.
Wishful thinking, I know.
The feel of her soft hand in mine. They, our hands, fit so perfectly together. Then the smell of her body, of coconut and beaches, made my Alastair purr like a freaking kitty cat! And the way she looked at me when I licked my thumb after wiping salad of her face was so dammed hot. Wetting her lips plumped rosy lips the way she did, hmmm…
Dude, you’ll need a cold shower if you don’t stop thing about her that way. Alastair
I know…I know! Maybe we should go out for a run. Spend some of that pent-up energy might help. I reply to him.
Arriving at home, I park my truck and head for the forest. We haven’t been on a run for a while. Might do us some good. Striping down, I let my wolf take over my body. I feel every bone-cracking, changing its shape, fur now growing all over me. It’s not as painful as it sounds, shifting, it’s only the sound of it now that’s bothersome.
We should bring Sienna for a run with us soon! It would be nice.
That would be nice, meeting her wolf. She smells delicious.
Now, who’s the horny dog!? I tell him, laughing
Shut up and let’s run!
We take off deeper into the woods, passing our self, smelling the warm air of the night, feeling free. The ground moving slightly under our paw with each step we take.
This really would be amazing next time to bring Sienna. We could even have a race! Alastair says with excitement.
I wonder if she’d be up to it. I’ll have to ask her. Soon. I reply, feeling the joy of so many possibilities.
