Luna Sky

Chapter 10

Caleb had been given a wing at the packhouse to stay in while in town. It was courtesy given to visiting alphas. The bedroom door was made of heavy dark oak. He easily held her with one hand while opening the door with the other. The room was huge. It had a majestic stone fireplace that held a welcoming fire making the huge room feel almost cozy. The fluffy white rug emphasized the coziness. Against the wall opposite the fire was a huge canopy bed.  He lay her on the bed gently so he could take off the last remaining pieces of tuxedo. Without realizing it, she crawled into his lap wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her face in his shoulder. Within minutes, she was asleep. Caleb felt as though he could stay like this forever. The woman he loved, in his arms, sleeping soundly, knowing he would always protect her. He rested his head on top of hers. He had never felt so content before. She calmed him, took away the restlessness he had always felt before. He silently thanked the Moon Goddess for giving her to him. He placed her gently on the bed, she began to stir.

“Caleb, stay with me tonight,” she whispered. “I need you.” 

As he lay down next to her, he whispered "I will never leave your side," as he drifted off to sleep.

Sky woke up to her phone ringing. She was relieved to feel Caleb's warmth next to her. She read the caller's name "Daph." Of course, it was Daphne, who else would it be. She answered quietly as she stood up. She listened as Daphne filled her in on the events of the Mate's ball after she and Caleb disappeared. Her heart broke for Evan. He had not found his mate this year either. Daphne had called to tell Sky, it’s official, I am now mated and marked to Guideon. Daphne told her that many pack members were now calling Sky ‘Luna Sky,’ as word spread of her taking down the wolf last night. The entire pack was so proud!

Sky felt a sense of pride knowing she had defended her mate. She knew he would never have agreed to go with that b***h, but she had stood her ground and won. She felt a sense of pride she hadn’t felt before. “I guess we can talk more about this later.” 

She sighed. Plopping down in a chair, she looked at Caleb still sleeping soundly in bed. She had gotten lucky in finding him. Quietly she tip-toed over and sat on the edge of her bed. “I know what I want,’ she told herself.

She lay back on her pillows slowly pulling her feet back under the covers. “Caleb? Are you awake?” She gently rubbed his shoulder.

“I am up, what’s wrong baby girl?”

“Caleb, I want you to mark me. I don’t want to wait anymore. I am ready to be yours completely.”

He was still for a moment. “Are you sure? If I mark you, I will have no choice but to mate you. Thor will not hold back. If we mate, it could either get you pregnant right now, or it could send you into heat. I want you to be really sure.” The way he was looking at her made her choice even more clear.

“I know and I accept whatever happens. I love you, Caleb Mason. I want to be yours completely. I want the world to know I belong to you, and you belong to me.”

Thor howled in his mind, “What are you waiting for? Mark her! She asked us too!”

He couldn’t resist, he cradled her head in his arms and kissed her. Slowly at first. Soon, a hunger took over. He kissed her deeply, his tongue dancing with hers as it searched every inch of her mouth. She let a small moan escape as his hand came up cupping her breast. Sparks flew along her hardened n****e to somewhere deep within her. He began trailing kisses down her neck and along her collar bone. She was breathing heavily at the sensation.

“Caleb, mark me, please?” she whispered in his ear.

Without warning, he began sucking on her neck where it met her shoulder, the place he would leave his mark. He couldn’t hold back any longer. His canines elongated, and he sunk them into her warm flesh.

Her eyes flew open at the initial pain. She moaned more loudly as the pain turned to exquisite pleasure. She sighed as he pulled his canines out and began gently licking the spot to seal it. “You are mine!” he growled.

She could feel the wetness growing in her core with the sound. She took over, rolling so he ended under her, she began kissing his neck leaving a tantalizing trail of sparks as she went. She made her way from his lips, down his neck, and up towards his neck. She licked the spot she would leave her mark before allowing her canines to be fully exposed. She scraped his skin with the sharp tips causing him to groan in pleasure. Her eyes flashed as she sunk her teeth into his flesh. He groaned loudly as his hands reached up grabbing her ass and pulling her harder against him. She could taste hie sweet blood in her mouth. She pulled her teeth out as she allowed her tongue to glide over the spot sealing it. She pulled her head back to admire her mark. “You are mine forever.” She smiled so seductively it made him hungry for more.

He crashed his lips against hers as he tugged at the buttons on her shirt. She was still wearing his shirt from last night. He pulled the shirt open revealing her perfect perky breasts. She gasped as he gently squeezed one with his strong hands. He crashed his lips against hers again as his hand slid down to her core. He gently rubbed against her core with his fingers, at the same time, he sucked her n****e into his mouth. She let out a loud moan as the sensations forced her to grab his thick black hair. Circling her n****e with his tongue, he suddenly pulled his mouth away and slipped a finger inside her. “Baby Girl, you are so wet,” he groaned out. She gasped as he started pumping his finger in and out of her. “Do you like that?” he asked. His voice caused her to shiver.

“Caleb,” she moaned out, “Please don’t stop.” She took a deep breath as he plunged his finger deeper into her. Her body suddenly tensed, and she yelled out as waves of pleasure crashed over her. Her o****m rocked her as he continued pumping.

“That’s a good girl,” he groaned. He removed his finger and began trailing kisses down her body. As he reached her hips, he gave a nibble setting her body on fire again. Planting gentle kisses on her thigh, he forced her legs apart. She gasped with anticipation as he spread open her core. She nearly exploded as he began to lick her sensitive bud. He was making circles around it before he sucked it into his mouth torturing her with his mouth. “You taste so good,” he moaned still sucking her nub of pleasure. She nearly screamed as another o****m rocked her. “That’s my good girl,” he breathed. “Are you ready for me?” His eyes were glowing a dark emerald green only matched by hers glowing the deep blue.

“I’m ready,” she whispered still breathless.

“It’s going to hurt.”

She knew it would hurt but she didn’t care. She wanted him inside her. She wanted to feel the pleasure as they moved together as one. “Please, Caleb. I don’t want to wait anymore.”

With those words, he pushed into her. She felt as though she may split in half as her virginity was taken from her and her core stretched to accommodate his manhood. “You, ok?” He asked genuine concern on his handsome face.

“Yessss,” she hissed Her head tilted back. “Please, don’t stop,” she groaned.

He began moving inside her. The sensation turning from pain to pleasure. “She arched against him as he thrust into her in a frenzy of pleasure. “She could feel the pressure building in her body as he pushed deeper into her with every thrust of his powerful hips.

“You are so tight, baby.” His lust-filled voice pushed her over the edge. She cried out as her o****m rocked her body. A deep thrust with a grunt signaled he found his c****x too. He collapsed on top of her, their bodies still one.

“Are you ok Baby Girl? Did I hurt you?”

“That was incredible,” she breathed out.

As their breathing slowed, he rolled off her. She felt cold at the loss of him. He rolled over wrapping her in his arms which was starting to feel more like home than her actual home. They fell asleep within minutes.

She woke up to an empty spot where Caleb should have been. Stretching her arm out, his spot was cold telling her he had left a while ago. She sat up looking around the room.

“Good afternoon my beautiful mate,” his voice said in her mind.

“Caleb?” She asked.

“I am bringing up lunch. You were so tired; I didn’t want to wake you.”

She grumbled something incoherent even to her.

“I will be up in a few minutes,” he assured her.

She threw her legs over the side of the bed. As she stood up, her legs felt like jelly. She was sore to say the least. She sighed as she turned to pull the blanket up and stopped as she saw the small spot of blood on the sheets. Memories of this morning came flooding back as she stared at the spot. Despite the soreness, she wanted more.

She slowly made her way to the bathroom, turning the water on, she grabbed a couple of towels from the linen closet. She placed them on the sink before stepping into the hot water. The water felt good as it ran down her body. She stood there for what felt like hours thinking about the last few days. When she finished washing, she wrapped a towel around her and walked out into the bedroom.

“Well, that’s a sight I can get used to,” Caleb’s voice caused her to nearly jump out of her skin. The smirk on his face made her chuckle a bit.

“Hi,” she said sounding a bit nervous.

All he could think about is how beautiful she is. His mate. He loved everything about her. Her shyness, the way her cheeks turned red to the tips of her ears when she was embarrassed. She is perfect. He took a couple of steps towards her before reaching out and brushing a wet strand of hair from her face. He had fallen asleep after their adventures. He couldn’t remember the last time he had slept as well as he did with her in his arms.

“Caleb,” his father’s voice came through the pack link breaking the moment. “You have found your mate, the pack felt it when you marked her, you are needed here. You have avoided your Alpha training for long enough. There is a lot of business that requires your attention.”

He took a deep breath. His father was always so strict. All he wanted was a bit more time with Sky before he had to return to his duties.

“What’s wrong? Where did you go?” she asked looking worried.

He hadn’t realized he had clenched his fists. “I am needed in my pack, he grumbled. “I will understand if you need a little longer to pack before you come with me.

She could see the sadness in his eyes as he said those words. “Caleb, my place is with you. That is where I want to be, by your side. We are now partners, mates, lovers, joined together by the Moon Goddess herself. My home is with you.” A single tear rolled down her cheek as she spoke to his heart.

He wrapped her in an embrace as he silently vowed to love her, cherish her, and if it needed to be done, give up his life for her. He couldn’t imagine not being with her. Strangely, his thoughts shifted to Evan. He understood why he was so infatuated with her and was having such difficulties letting her go.

“She will never be his!” Thor roared in his mind. “I will kill him first!” He hadn’t realized he had tightened his grip around her.

“Are you ok?” she asked pushing him back a tiny bit.

“Yes, Thor just got a little excited,” he shrugged.

“When do we have to leave?” She asked making her way to her bag in the corner of the room.

“Tomorrow morning.” He watched as her body tensed a bit. “Sky, you can stay here for a bit if you need. I will not force you to leave with me.”

She turned, glaring at him. “Caleb, I do not want to stay here. I want to go with you. I will miss my family and my pack, but my life is with you now. My place is with you by your side just as yours is by mine.”

Her words surprised him. She is sounding more like a Luna than his own mother. He grabbed her hand spinning her around to face him. He kissed her as though she may vanish forever.

Caleb tensed at the voice on the other end of the phone, Evan. “So, I will not force you to allow me to remain her friend but, I will not accept no. She deserves to choose her own friends.”

“Evan, I would never tell he3r she had to stop being a friend to anyone.”

 ‘What!’ Thor roared causing Caleb to flinch in pain. “Are you crazy! You will let an unmated ALPHA around our MATE! Have you lost your mind!’ ‘What if she goes into heat while he is around? He may try to mate her and then I will kill him!’

“Yes, I will have her call you when she gets back.”

Thor was clawing at his conscience. ‘No, I won’t allow it!’

“Thor stop,” Caleb said aloud. “I trust her.”

That seemed to make him calm down a bit. ‘I trust her too,’ he finally said relaxing to his spot in the back of Caleb’s conscience. 

He heard her footsteps as she bounded into the room. He had been sitting on the overstuffed leather couch when his phone rang. He had expected it to be his father, but it had been Evan. He sounded so pitiful asking Caleb’s permission to remain Sky’s friend. She didn’t need his permission. They were mated and marked. She had asked him to mark her. They were bound in an unbreakable bond by the Moon Goddess. He knew she would never betray him. Her heat would be an issue if Evan was around when it happened. Sky’s hormones would send any male wolf into a frenzy. They would try to mate with her regardless of his mark on her. It wasn’t anybody’s fault. It was to ensure the species survival. All she-wolves stayed only with their mates until the heat passed. Neither one left the other alone. Thor had set his mind ablaze mentioning someone else mating with his Sky.

He relaxed as he felt soft hands gently rub his shoulders. “I missed you,” she breathed into his ear. Quick as lightning, he reached up grabbed her, and pulled her into his lap. She giggled at his antics. He kissed her before telling her he had missed her too. She had gone to see Daphne who was also staying in the packhouse with Gideon. She had shown her the mark Caleb left and the two had talked about moving with their mates to their pack. They were both happy to be going together despite the sadness of leaving their homes and families.

“Baby Girl, I spoke to Evan today.” She froze as if someone had turned her to ice.

 “Did you tell him we could not remain friends?” She asked sadly. She waited for his reply.

“Baby Girl, look at me,” he said as he gently put his finger under her chin lifting her face to look at him. He could see the tears welling up in her eyes. “Baby, I would never ask you to give up your friend.”

Her eyes lit up as she realized what he said. “You mean, I get to keep my friend?” She threw her arms around his neck nearly choking him. “Caleb, you are the best!”

“I only have one thing to ask,” he hoped her answer would calm Thor. “If you feel as though you may be going into heat, please stay away from him.”

She stared at him as though he had lost his mind. “The only one I want near me if I go into heat is you.”

He flashed her his sexy smile before kissing her. “I knew you would say that” he smirked.

Had he really agreed to her being friends with an unmated Alpha? He was really willing to do anything for her. The Moon Warriors pack was known for being territorial, strong, and if need be ruthless. He looked over at her sound asleep on the bed beside him. He knew he would kill anyone that tried to take her from him.

He didn’t remember falling asleep.  He sat up rubbing the sleep from his eyes. They were leaving for his pack today. He was happy to introduce her to his pack but was not looking forward to being away from her while he trained to take over as Alpha. Once he mated and marked Sky, it set in motion the plan for him to become the Alpha of the Moon Warrior’s Pack. Sky would become the Luna, which meant she had to spend time with his mother to learn all the needed information. 

The smell of coffee told him Sky was in the kitchen. He had fallen asleep with his pants on. Grumbling, he got up making his way to the kitchen. AS he pushed open the door, Sky was standing in front of the stove dancing and singing to her music playing through her headphones. He smiled as he watched her cook and dance. She nearly dropped the pan of eggs when she turned around to find him watching her. Her cheeks turned red as she slowly put the pan on the marble counter.

“How long have you been there?” she asked spooning scrambled eggs onto their plates.

“Long enough to see what a good dancer you are,” he smiled.

She could feel the tips of her ears heating up as she blushed again.

The moment was interrupted by the shrill sound of his phone. Looking at the screen, “Sorry, Baby Girl, I have to take this.” He stood up from his seat at the counter. She watched his back disappear behind the door.

She pulled out her phone as she sat down to eat. Daphne had texted her a million times saying how in love she is. Her mother asked her how it felt to be marked. Nothing from Evan. She had hoped his talk with Caleb would have meant he called her. She shrugged as she took a bite of her eggs.

“Daphne and Gideon left for our territory last night. Dash went with them.” Caleb told her while still looking at his phone. “When do you want to go?” he asked, not looking up.

“Sometime next week sounds good,” she said sarcastically trying to draw his attention away from his phone.

“What?” he asked putting his phone down. Seeing the look on her face, he sighed. “Sorry Baby, I got wrapped up in reading texts from my father. It seems there have been more rogue attacks, but they are changing.” He looked genuinely concerned.

They sat eating in silence.

“Why would they be changing unless,” She cringed at the thought.

“Unless what Baby Girl?” he asked with obvious interest.

“Unless they are becoming a pack of their own,” she answered searching his face for a reaction.

“You may be right.”

He finished loading the last of the bags into the car. “Babe,” he called. “I thought you said your mom was going to pack the rest of your stuff and bring it over?”

“She is. This is stuff I need. Essentials.” She flashed him a smile followed by a giggle.

He slammed the trunk hard. Hopefully, it stays closed this time. He knew this was hard for her. Leaving everything behind to be with him. He would have understood if she had wanted to stay a little longer.

Her parents, along with Alpha Jake and Luna Quinn had come to say goodbye. “I will miss you,” her mother sobbed as she hugged Sky so tight, she could barely breathe.

Her father stood talking with Caleb. “You better take care of her. If anything happens, Alpha or not, you will have to deal with me.” He half-smiled as he shook Caleb’s hand.

“You could always stay,” her mother tried.

“Isabelle, when you met me, would you have stayed?” Lee asked.

“Well, no. Ok, but remember, we will see you in a few weeks once you get settled.” Her mother’s eyes gleamed with unshed tears.

“Stop worrying. I told you, I am fine with leaving now.” She kissed his cheek putting his mind at ease a bit. “Besides, I am ready to meet my new pack, your friends, and your family.” She blew him a kiss as she hopped into the passenger seat. Pulling out of the packhouse driveway, she waved to her parents as he shifted the car to drive. They had come to spend some time with them before they left for his pack. “One more advantage to leaving now. When my heat comes, we will be in your territory.”

He looked at her with understanding. Now that she was mated and marked, her heat would arrive within the next couple of weeks. Most females had a month to prepare, because she was mated to an Alpha, she would only have two weeks at most. He felt a bit guilty because he had heard heats can be painful. He would never do anything to cause her pain, but this was nature. They drove for a while before reaching his territory.

“You ready Baby Girl?” 

           She simply smiled at him. “I am ready for anything with you by my side.”

           He pulled the car into the driveway of what looked like an old stone castle. She marveled at the sheer size. The trim and newer window frames were painted a deep forest green color. The front entrance had huge wooden double doors. The packs had chosen to keep the old buildings throughout the years. They had modernized the inside to give the old stone buildings all the necessities and luxuries as well. The building had been divided into wings. Pack members usually stayed on the second and third floors. The fourth and fifth floors were divided into living spaces for the current Alpha and his Luna as well as any children they may have. One wing of the fifth floor had been made into a separate living space for the upcoming Alpha and Luna. Once they had transitioned to the acting Alpha and Luna, the wing was empty again until the cycle began again. The current Alpha and Luna had a home separate from the packhouse where they would live once they had retired.

           Caleb had moved into the separate wing when he turned sixteen in an effort to give himself some privacy from his parents. His father was very strict and not one to show emotion. His mother, on the other hand, made up for it by smothering him. He never got angry at her for it, he knew she meant well. He had enjoyed his time alone in the wing, but it sometimes got lonely.

           “Who is that?” Sky asked.

He followed her eyes and was surprised to see not only his mother but his father waiting to greet them. “Those are my parents,” he sounded a bit surprised his mother was joined by his father.

She c****d her head to the side watching him. “I thought you liked your parents?” She asked.

He didn’t answer.

“Hello Father, Hi Mom,” he greeted them. She was curious as to the different greetings.

“Well?” his father began.

“Well, what?” He asked knowing who he was looking for.

“Where is she? Where is this ‘Sky” who has kept my son from his duties for far too long?”

Sky had come up beside Caleb. “Hi, I am Sky Masters. It is nice to meet you Alpha Dean, Luna Cherub.” She held out her hand to shake the Alpha’s hand.

He stared at her for a minute taken aback by her confidence when talking to him. A smile spread slowly across his face. “Come here, give your father-in-law to be a hug!”
