Troy was right about the twins and Casper having fresh gossip because the moment we walked into the dining area eyes were fixed on us and more wolves had come to the pack house for dinner.
They bowed as we passed and took our seats. Troy served me and I thanked him, eyes were watching our every exchange in wonder and excitement. Some gave me unimpressed looks.
"I think it's time I announced it to everyone, don't you think?" He whispered to me
I blushed "if you want, it's fine"
Troy cleared his throat loudly and everyone fell silent looking up at him attentively
"As some of you may have heard, I have indeed found my mate. I'm honored to introduce your Luna Aela McLaren" my hand was in his as he gazed at me fondly.
Some people clapped and cheered, howls were heard from outside, they had probably mindlinked those who weren't here to tell them the news.
I smiled at everyone and gave a graceful wave.
Through dinner, I answered questions from different wolves. I assured them I was settling in nicely and their Alpha was the best. Troy looked very proud as he stared at me.
"So Luna" Brianna sneered from her seat "Would you be joining the other she wolves for training?"
I could hear the challenge beneath her seemingly harmless question. Pack members watched the exchange eagerly waiting for my response.
"Of course, I need to train in between my Luna duties. We all could learn from each other"
"Brianna is one of our best female warriors" another blonde sitting close to Brianna said
"I'm sure I can handle myself" I replied
"So we'll see you tomorrow on training grounds? Perhaps a spar?" Brianna pushed
I felt Troy tense beside me, I rubbed his hand comfortingly. This shewolf kept underestimating me, I couldn't stop the laugh that escaped my lips, I wished Lexa was here. Eyes fell on me in astonishment at my laughter, Brianna was equally surprised
"I'll see you tomorrow then" I said before grinning mischievously
The next morning, I wasn't surprised to see a little crowd at the training ground. I was in my workout clothes and my brown hair was tied up. Troy was very worried and insisted I ignore Brianna and not spar but I'd be considered weak, I wasn't having that.
"It's just a spar, the fight ends when the other submits" Troy announced as Brianna took her place.
I was pulled back suddenly by Troy and his lips smashed against mine. I tried not to blush as everyone was there, Brianna looked pissed when I took my place opposite her.
"I won't go easy on you Luna" she sneered
"By all means pup" I smirked making some people snicker
I waited for her to make the first move, then she lunged at me, I sidestepped her with my smirk still in place. Her foot work needed more practice, I observed as she lunged again with me moving away at the last second again but this time landing a kick to her back as she passed me. She staggered and turned to glare at me before attacking again, I dodged and blocked a few more of her punches and kick then distracted her with a fake kick before punching her from the other direction. Her nose was bloody as I spoke
"Please don't tell me this is you going hard" I teased "please fight harder"
She growled and this time managed to land a single hit, she smiled to herself. "Is that better Luna?" She mocked
"Shows you're ready" I said
She looked confused and I took my chance, and using a similar move to the one I used on Liam, I had her in my grip on the ground. I brought my elbow down on her chest before kicking her away.
"Shift" Troy commanded
At the same time we shifted, and our wolves charged at each other. Snarls and snapping filled the air as we tackled ourselves. She kept trying to bite my neck repeatedly in between the fight. As she made for my neck one more time, my wolf crouched down and when Brianna's ginger colored wolf seemed to hover above us, we dove upwards throwing her off balance.
Quickly, I lodged my teeth in her neck and used a lot of strength to throw her in the other direction like a pup. Her wolf looked more vicious now as it rushed towards me, Father taught me timing was always necessary, I needed to observe. I waited and when her wolf was in the air and almost on me I managed to grab her hind legs pull her down. This time my teeth went back on the neck and stayed there, my wolf and I growled as we pinned her to the ground.
Eventually, she shifted back to her human form declaring me the winner. My wolf seemed to huff as we let her go and went towards our mate.
Surprisingly, wolves cheered loudly as they looked at me with pride.Troy was looking at me adoringly as he ran his hands through our dark grey fur. He took me to the woods where it was private with a shirt in his hand. I was back in my human form and wore the shirt.
"No shorts at least?" I asked
"There's no need" he replied carrying me in his arms as he speedily made his way back to my room and placing me on the bed
"It's getting harder to control my wolf love" he said huskily nuzzling my neck as he hovered over me.
I leaned up and kissed him, his response was fierce and demanding, heat pooled between my legs, I couldn't wait to have him but it was too soon.
He kissed the sweet spot on my neck and it made my body jerk as if electrified. His kisses trailed down and the shirt was up, his lips were on my hard nipples sucking. I took in a deep breath as he teased me. His fingers suddenly brushed against my wet core teasingly before rubbing my clit making my back leave the bed and I moaned in pleasure. Soon the pleasure building in me threatened to explode.
"Mark me" I whispered
"Are you sure? I don't want to rush you" he said with a strained voice, I knew his wolf was excited at the idea and was trying to take control by His blue eyes darkening.
"Mark me" I repeated "They'll know I'm yours"
Like that was all the persuasion he needed his canines extended and pierced the skin on my neck. I held onto him tightly as the sharp pain transformed into mind blowing pleasure as i screamed out in satisfaction. The height of my orgasm and the pleasure of him marking me threw me over the edge as I shivered against him. I felt myself drown in euphoria as I closed my eyes.
