Athena
I was so happy when my son came over and said that he and will had there date tonight. I was even happier with where he was taking her for dinner. I knew I needed help to get Nova ready for tonight. I mink-linked Nora.
A: Hey Nora have you finished with your training group yet.
N: Just finished and going to get cleaned up. Why?
A: Project girls' day.
N: This has something to do with Nova, I see her in a vison in a blue dress coming downstairs.
A: She has a date with Braxton. She doesn't know that he asked us to help her get ready. It's her very first date ever. It has to be special.
N: Spa, hair, nails, and shopping for Nova on the way.
A: You are my girl at heart,
N: You know it. Be there in 10 minutes.
A: Ok, see you soon and meet me outside the cabin.
N: Sounds good.
I cut off the mink-link and headed for the cabin.
Nova
Zoe I still can't believe he asked me out on a date. Yes, I know we are mates. But going on dates. I have never done that before. Listen Nova you need to calm down, I can believe that he asked you, because he loves you and means it. He isn't like Jordan. I know that Zoe. But he is just too perfect, I am just waiting for that other shoe to drop. Well Nova you will be waiting for an awfully long time then. Do You really think so Zoe? Yes, I do Nova, Ari love us, and Braxton loves us.
Someone knocked on the front door. So, I went downstairs, and I answered the door. At the front door was Athena and Nora. I was surprised to see them here at the cabin. I motioned for them to come into the cabin.
"Hey what are you doing here?" I asked
"Well, we heard that you have your very first date tonight. We both wanted to be here and help you get ready for your special date." Athena said.
"Exactly what she said Nova." Nora said. I couldn't help but smile and pull them both into a hug.
Athena looks at Nora and Nora looks at Athena. They thought she would be upset, mad or something. But she seemed relieved.
"I am so glad you are here. I have no idea what to wear." I broke down and told them.
"Easy fix dear, let's go shopping, we also can get your nails, hair and makeup done once we find your dress." Athena said.
"Really? That would be amazing." I said.
"Nora what about the diner?" Nova asked"
"I have employees. You know a Manger and employees Nova. It is all ok, I promise." Nora said.
We went to Kohls and Macys to looks for dresses. I tried on several dresses that were white, yellow, red, black, green, purple, and blue. The blue one was the dress. It was knee length thin strap on one shoulder and off the shoulder on the other, and it has a pretty silver sparkle to it. WE went to Brittany's Beauty Bar to get my hair, nails and make up done. She did my make up with blue and silver tones to go with my dress. She did a half up do and some curls in my hair. She even did a pretty blue design on my nails. Personally, I felt like a princess, today. Being pampered was nice.
Once we got back to the cabin, I went up to my room and I put on my dress and my perfume. I added the finishing touches of some jewelry and shoes. I looked at Athena and Nora who were in my room.
"You look amazing dear; my son is a lucky man. I am proud to have you in my family and I can't wait till you officially are a part of my family. I love you, Nova." Athena said. I held back the tears as I hugged her.
"Thank you, mom I love, you to." I said
"You look great Nova and I happy you are my best friend." Nora said.
"I am glad I called that and met you. I got to meet my best friend and my new family." I said and gave Nora a hug.
With getting ready for my date with Braxton today I haven't seen him all day. I have felt so lonely. All day, yes, I was with Athena and Nora. But something was missing. It was like I just lost the love of my life or something. But the minute I walked down the steps and I saw him standing there in that tux looking sexy and just looking up at me. I felt so complete at the very moment. Nothing else mattered anymore.
Braxton
Today has been a rather long day, I have been working on my alpha duties, I was trying to concentrate on. I made the reservations for our dinner tonight. Nora called Dave's Tux's and ordered my Tux since she knew what color that I needed to wear. Yes, the owner is human. I went and picked it up around 4 p.m. and when I got back to the pack house, I went up to the Alpha apartment and I got showered and put my tux on. Once I was done, I headed over to the cabin to wait for my mate to be ready for our date. When I got there, Leon and my father were there. Since my mother and Nora helped her get ready.
My mother came down first and walked over to my father. Then Nora came down and walked over to her mate Leon. I was starting to worry when it had been almost five minutes and Nova still hadn't come downstairs yet. My mother grabbed my arm and pointed to the steps. I looked up and saw the most beautiful woman I have even seen in my life walking down those steps. I knew right then and there I was in trouble. Nora really did make sure our blues matched too. My mate was sexy as hell, it has already been hard controlling my wolf. It is going to be ten time harder with her in that dress. I walked over to her and offered her my hand and she accepted it.
"Nova my darling, you look absolutely stunning." I said.
"Well thank you Braxton. You look pretty handsome yourself" she said with a smile.
"So, how did we both end up in blue? The same shade of blue at that?" She asked.
"Lucky guess, I take it." I said and smiled at her.
"It must have been, out of seven dresses this was the only one that I liked and that was sealed with mothers' approval." She said and giggled.
"Oh, I bet it was. However, you look DeVine in that dress babe." I said.
"Thank you again, Braxton." She said.
"Are you ready to get going to dinner?" I asked.
"Yes, of course." She said.
"After you, my lady." I said with a smile.
Braxton and Nova walk to the car. He opens the passenger side door to his Aston Martin and Nova get in. Then he closes the door, and he goes around and gets into the driver side of the car and starts the car. He drives about fifteen minutes to Giovanni's restaurant. He gets out of the car and comes around and opens the door for Nova to get out. They go into the restaurant.
"Welcome to Giovanni's do you have a reservation?" asked the hostess.
"Yes, Mam I do. It's 6 p.m. for Braxton Waylon a party of 2." I tell her.
"Ah yes, the VIP request. Right this way Sir, Miss." She said.
"Come on beautiful." I said and I grab Nova's hand and follow the hostess to the VIP section. This is the most romantic section of the whole restaurant.
"Your waiter will be with you in a moment." She said.
"Thank you." We both said. A few minutes passed and the waiter approached.
"Can I start you off with anything to drink? "She asked as she hands us our food and drink menus.
"Yes, we will take a bottle of your oldest Mon Rosso Toscana Red Wine please." I said.
"Sure thing, I will get the right-away." She said.
"Babe, you get whatever you want to eat, don't worry about the price." I said.
"Braxton, it's not that. It's just that this place is spectacular, and I am just an ordinary she-wolf now. I don't belong in places like this." She tells me and she looks down.
"Babe, you are my future. You are going to be my Luna. I love you with every fiber of my being. I brought you here because this is the one place, I only take people I love. Like my mother and now you. My mother requests a different place for her and I. She said this place is to be our special place." I said to her
"I don't know what to say." She said
"Here is your wine, are you two ready to order?" the waiter asked.
"I am, are you Braxton?" she asked.
"Yes, I am. I will have the Pork Braciola w/a small side of polenta." I said.
"For you miss?" the waitress asked.
"I will have the Rague Ala Bolognese Sauce please." She said.
"I will get these orders in and get then out to you right away." She said. They she pours the wine and left.
There was music playing and they decided to dance. The danced for two or three songs. Towards the end of it the urge to kiss one another had become rather relevant to one another. That they both just went for it and kissed each other.
The waitress had brought out the food while they were dancing. They noticed but were enjoying the moment together. They ate their dinner and their desert and talked about the pack a little bit and how she would be involved. They talked about how shouldn't ever give up on one another and always support each other. They were at home and lying-in bed; Nova had her head on Braxton's chest. Her arm was up around his shoulder.
"Braxton, I want to tell you something. But I want you to listen too everything I have to say before you interrupt me, ok?" she asked. I looked at her confused.
"Ok sure no problem." I said, I knew it wasn't bad, I could feel it.
"It is time for me to meet Ari wolf form and you to meet Zoe wolf form. I am ready." She tells me.
"Seriously, babe?" I asked her.
"Yes Braxton, I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it. Go to sleep, because tomorrow your meeting Zoe wolf, whether you want to or not." She said.
"Ok babe. Good night I love you." I said.
"I love you too." She said.
I woke up and packed the picnic basket for us today. I woke up at 10 a.m. and Nova is still asleep. When I was finished it was about an hour later and I hear the shower running so she must be up. So, I went into the guest bedroom and use the ensuite in there and took a shower. I came downstairs to see Nova in the kitchen looking at the picnic basket.
"So, what with the basket Braxton?" she asked me.
"Well, I was thinking about what you said last night. About our wolves." I said
"Yeah so, what about them." She said.
"We are going to the lake near here for a picnic and after we eat or before your choice. We will show our wolves. Whichever you're comfortable and decide on." I said.
'Wow, don't you think of everything, Mr. Alpha." She said and we laughed.
"Come on, let's go." I said and we walked to the lake where we are having our picnic.
We walked about 15 minutes to the lake from the cabin. It is beautiful surrounded by trees. I set up the picnic. I laid the blanket down and Nova helped getting food out. She was rather quiet.
"Babe are you ok?" I asked her.
"Yeah, I am okay. It's beautiful out here I am just enjoying it." She said.
We ate our lunch and cuddled for a few minutes. I kissed Nova and rolled on top of her. My hand was roaming up and down her thighs. I went from kissing her mouth to kissing the sweet spot on her neck where I will mark her. I take in a deep breath.
"I want to show you something" I tell her. she nods. I stand up and walk behind the tree. I strip out of my clothes and shift into my wolf. I come out from behind the tree and walk over toward Nova.
I am huge pure black wolf with only a silver stripe of fur along the top of my head. I walk up to Nova, and she kneels down and runs her hand through my fur, kisses my head. Then she walks behind the tree. She come back out as a huge lack wolf with silver strip of fur on her head and silver paws. And walks up to Ari and Zoe rubbed her nose against his. Then they went on a mate chase. They caught each other. It was merely a game. They went on a hunt together and ate their deer that they killed together. They came back to the lake and cleaned off in the water. They laid down together and curled up against one another falling asleep.
Awhile later Ari woke up letting Braxton taking control over and shifting back over to his human form and getting dressed. Shortly after that, Zoe woke up and Nova took control back and shifted into her human form and got dressed. Nova was worried that Braxton didn't like what her wolf looked like or something because he was quiet.
"Nova, we need to talk." I said.
"What is it Braxton?" she said. She was fighting back the tears.
"Babe why are you crying?" I said
'Your going to reject me now, aren't you?" she asked.
"Why the hell would I do that? "I asked
"You said we need to talk." She said.
"Ya, we do, but I just wanted to tell you that your wolf is amazing and that we have matching silver strips on our heads. Only true alpha mates get them. I didn't get that still I found you. You the most amazing she-wolf in the world and I am so glad that you're going to be my Luna." I said
"Braxton, I love you." She said.
"I love you too Luna" I said, and she grabbed me pulling me into a kiss.
"I think it is time for everyone to know who their Luna is, don't you?" I asked her. She just looked at me and smiled.
"Ok I will meet the pack." She said.
"Not only meet the pack Nova, have the Luna celebration. Its time. I want everyone to know who their Luna is. They will love you as much as I do." I said
"We can do that, when should we?" she asked.
"When my father gets back from trip, he has to go on so in a few days, which gives us time to prepare for it. I know my mother will help out."
'Sounds good to me. Even though I am an Alpha's daughter, I never was allowed to help with pack celebrations. It was my mother's thing, and I wasn't going to take that away from her." she said
"Understood. Soon it will be yours and you can do it how you see fit my love." He said and she smiled and laughed.
