Sleeping did not really happen. I ended up getting up and showering at 4:38 a.m. I grab a bagel and head over to the pack house. Cassie is already in the kitchen so I ask her if she is ready to start round two. She says she is so by noon we actually finish all of the canning for the day. Then we get it separated into the three groups and put away. I take the supplies to the clinic myself.
Once I get to the clinic I run into the doctor and he helps me take everything to the basement. While we are separating and stacking the jars we talk about other things he thinks we might need.
"Luna I know you and Cassie did fruits, vegetables, meats, jams and jellies. But have you thought about making soups and stews? I think they would hold up well, plus it's a whole meal in a jar so less would be used. It's just a thought."
"No Mike your a genius I should have thought about that. Make me a list if different soups and Stews people might like and I will set up the next canning project with Cassie."
We go to his office and he makes the list for me. Then he makes a second list of trail mix type things that would be good for keeping up energy. I thank him for the lists then I go back to my house.
While I am at the house I pull out my cookbooks to take to Cassie when there is a knock at the door. I see that it is Stacy and I call Steve. Before he picks up she knocks again
I go answer the door. I know he picked up the phone but before he says anything I say," Stacy what do you want? This is my house till the Alpha tells me to leave it."
After he hears this he calls Derrick as well as the Beta, the Gamma, and my brother and then he starts coming my way.
Derrick gets here first.
"Why are you at the Luna's house? You were told to stay away. I can't let you harm her."
"You sound like you think she is the Luna. I refuse to accept her as my Luna. She has done nothing but cause trouble since she got here."
"What did she ever do to you? As I recall you have attacked her from behind several times. Why do you hate her so much?"
"She hasn't done anything, but she is human and I don't want her her. She is polluting my air. And there are many other who feel the same way. I want her gone. If you don't get her out of here I will call the elders."
"Well I have news for you Stacy, the elders will be here this afternoon you can take it up with them then. Untill you speak to them you will leave her alone. Do you understand what I am saying to you?"
"Yes Alpha, don't get comfortable bitch you will be gone by tonight."
With that Stacy stomps off. Throwing her arms in the air and complaining that I am still here. Steve shakes his head and thanks Derrick then we go inside. First he calls the guys to let them know everything is okay, then we sit on the couch.
"Okay so as you heard the elders will be here today. I intend to have Mike show them your blood tests so the elders know that both you and William are not human. I also intend to tell them you are my mate and Luna so they will have no standing to send you away. After that is taken care of we will talk about the upcoming war with the vampires. Now what are your thoughts on everything?"
"Okay so as the mate to an Alpha they can not send me away. And as long as Mike shows them the paperwork proving I am half wolf they won't send us away. But I am worried about the last part. How much will we have to show them before they believe us?"
"Don't worry sweetheart I won't let anything happen to you. We will deal with everything I promise."
Then he leans in and kisses me. After a minute or two of kissing Steve leans back and says,"They will be here at three, I already put the guys on high alert. We will be with you every step of the way."
"Steve I want you to mark me. I know I said I wanted to take it slow, but to many people are trying to destroy what we have. If you mark me then they will see we are serious. I want you to do it. Not just to protect the pack but because I want it."
"Do you really mean it? I have wanted to mark you from the first day I met you. But when I mark you I will want to mate you. I am not sure I will be able to stop myself."
"I have a request. I would like to go down to the river. When we first started talking you told me you would go to the other side of the island for piece and quiet. I don't want anyone to know what we are doing so you leave first and I will meet you over there."
"I don't understand why all the secrecy? I will do what you ask but I would rather be open about it."
"I know but I just have a bad feeling about the whole thing. Please just go and I will meet you there."
"Okay come in ten minutes alright."
"I will be there."
So Steve heads down to the river. He dives in and swims to the other side of the island. He quietly waits for me to show up.
Fifteen minutes go by and nothing as he gets up he hears screaming.
"Get back here you bitch. I won't have you polluting my pack. I will get rid of you myself."
I come running down the hill and dive into the water. Stacey refuses to get wet so she watches waiting for me to come up. I stay on bottom for two minutes then slowly make my way over to the island where Steve is. He quietly pulls me out of the water and we listen to Stacy yell," I hope the bitch drowned. She has no right being here. Derrick jump in and find her body. Next I will get rid of William."Then she stomps off.
Steve links with Derrick and tells him I am safe and with him. Go watch Stacy. Better yet since she just threatened a member of the pack and the Luna's brother we should put her in jail untill Steve can talk to her. Then he links with the Beta and the Gamma and let's them know what happened and to watch over William. Then he looks down at me.
"You knew this would happen?"
"Not exactly. I figured it I left my house she would try something but I didn't think she would chase me down. I'm glad she was wearing heals. Otherwise I would have been in real trouble. Now my final question is do you still want to mark me?"
"If your ready then yes I want to. Come here."
I move closer to him and he cups my cheek with his hand. I lean into it. Then we strip each other. He is always very gentle. As we lay there naked he asks me one more time if I'm sure. I nod my head and turn it so he can have my marking spot. He leans down and kisses my neck, then he licks the spot. Then he bites down. At first it hurts but then it changes I become aroused. I feel like I have cum already. All the sudden I am so wet. One of Steve's hands slide down to my wet clit. Two fingers slide inside me. I can no longer think. As he continues teasing my body as well as marking me he raises above me. He spreads my legs wider and relaxes into me. I feel the tip of his cock at my wet entrance. He closes the holes and licks the mark on my neck then he kisses me. Slowly he pushes into me. He stops when he feels resistance. He looks at me and I shake my head yes. He turns his head so I can see his marking spot. As he trusts hard to brake the membrane I bit down on his neck. He tries to give me time to adjust but he starts moving again. After a minute the pain passes and I start to enjoy it. I close the mark on his neck and look at the brand. To me it looks strange. But at that moment all coherent thought ends. At some point we roll over and I am riding him. During my time on top I hit my orgasm and a transformation of sorts happens. When I cum there is a bright light that comes from my body. I have no idea what is going on. Steve cums a moment later and that's when he sees the wings. He doesn't say anything right away. I lay oh his chest completely spent. He wraps his arms around me and hold me for a minute. Then he asks me if I'm okay. Well I can't talk right away so I just nod my head yes.
After a few minutes we head back to my house. He tries to be a gentleman and says he can wait but I drag him in the shower with me. He washes me and I wash him. Then we kiss for a few minutes. But an alarm goes off and brings us back to the real world. We get out of the shower and get dressed. I loan him a t-shirt and shorts from Williams closet then we sit down.
"How are you feeling? I'm sorry if I hurt you. Arron got away from me for a minute."
"I am fine. Yes I'm a little sore but nothing a good soak won't fix."
"Sweetheart I have to ask, what was with the light show coming from your body when we climaxed? I swear at the end I saw wings."
"What? No you have to be joking. I don't know about the wings but I just thought the bright light was because I was hyperventilating a little. Part way through I forget to breathe I think."
"No baby it was real. I think we should quietly talk to Mike about this. But the elders will be here soon."
Just then Steve gets a message saying the elders are here and Stacy is already talking to them.
"It's time to go, they are here and Stacy is already talking to them."
So we head to the pack house to see what damage has been done. At first no one notices the marks but Cassie comes over and hugs me and whispers," Good move Luna now everything she is telling them won't matter."
Steve asks," What has she told them?"
" She says the Luna has done nothing but cause trouble since she got here. The Luna is starting fights between the pack members and you are just letting it happen."
"That's it she has gone too far, I need you to bring Sarah and the young lady who got Burt to my office in ten minutes please."
"Yes Alpha right away."
Then he links with Mike," If your not in the middle of anything I need you to come to my office now please Mike."
"I'm okay I will be there in a minute Alpha."
Then Steve takes my hand and we go to his office. Before we walk in Steve composes himself then he opens the door. We walk into Stacy yelling about the bbq I hosted when we first got here. After Steve listens for a few minutes he steps forward and says," It doesn't seem fair to start a trial without the accused being here to defend herself. Stacy what lies have you been spreading now?"
As I look at the three elders sitting there I recognize the man at the end. I step forward and say," Pastor Anderson I can't believe it. I'm sorry we stopped going to church but after mom and dad died it was to hard. We did go to another where no one knew us so we wouldn't get those looks anymore."
"My child I am so glad to see you. I didn't know it was you Alpha Steven was talking about."
Then he looks at the other two elders and says," I believe Stacy can go. I have know this young women and her brother all their lives. I baptized both of them. Whatever Steve says she said I know he's telling the truth. This child has saved more lives than I care to tell with her dreams. As her pastor I can not give details because I was told in confidence but I have seen it with my own eyes. Stacy I believe you can go. We have work to do."
Stacy leaves the office completely pissed off and Steve links Mike and the others and says all in good stay away from Stacy she's pissed. Watch out for William. Then we get back to the meeting.
We are in Steve's office for hours. The other two elders. Elder Wilson and Elder Mitchell ask me to explain things over and over again. I tell them about the war that's coming. Then I tell them about the winter storm. Elder Anderson accepts everything we tell him right away but the other two takes some convincing. Finally Elder Anderson says they must go both the others are still not completely convinced. Then I see a flash. I look at Elder Wilson and say," When you get home tonight bring you dog inside. you have an enemy."
As I talk I draw him a picture. When I'm done I hand it to him and say," If you don't bring in your dog he will be poisoned. Before you let him out check the east side of your back yard by the fence. Two pieces of steak will be laying there. He will drop them there at 6:15 a.m. since you always let Max out at 6:30 a.m."
After that the three elders walk out the door. But Elder Anderson turns back to us and says," Congratulations by the way and I will call you tomorrow after Elder Wilson calls me."
Then he leaves as well.
Then we go downstairs and join the others for dinner.
