ANGEL
I woke up feeling warmer than usual. I went to stretch, but was restricted by a heavy weight covering my body. I turned my head to see Xander sleeping peacefully with his arm draped over me. I smiled. I shuffle around slightly, trying to escape his arm but his grip on me tightened. I really needed to use the bathroom. I turned around to face him and poked him lightly on his cheek.
"Xander..." I whispered in a sing-song voice.
"Xaaaannndddeeeerrr..." I said again, poking his nose this time. His face twitched and he groaned slightly.
"Noooooo....don't wanna.." he said groggily. I giggled and poked his nose again, this time slightly harder.
"C'mon, let go. I need to pee." He cracked open one eye then closed it again.
"But it's comfortable..." he mumbled, snuggling closer. I giggled again.
"Please I really gotta go!" I gave him a puppy dog face. He groaned again but released me and I jumped up, running to the bathroom. I could hear his faint laughter through the door.
After I was done, I walked out to see him lying on his back with his arms behind his head and eyes closed. He peeked at me and smiled widely.
"So what are you doing today?" He asked lazily as I sat down beside him in the bed.
"To be honest I didn't really have anything planned other than probably staying home and watching movies."
"Sounds like fun. Mind if I join you?" He asked, wiggling his eyebrows. I started laughing.
"No, not at all! We got that party tonight too right? So I think it would make sense if we just went together." I grinned at him.
"Absolutely. Now come here." He held out his arms and I gladly crawled up next to him, grabbing the remote and turning on the tv.

After a couple movies and playing some video games I looked over to see the clock read 3pm. I put the controller down and stretched.
"I should probably start getting ready. If you want, you can use the guest bathroom to shower." He nodded at me and I went and grabbed a towel for him, grabbing one for me too.
"When you're done, We can see if my dad has anything you can wear since you don't have any clothes with you."
"Alright. Be right back beautiful." He winked and I laughed as he walked out of the room. I quickly gathered my outfit for the party and headed to the bathroom. I set my clothes on the counter and turned on the shower, stripped and got in when steam started filling up the bathroom.
After I got out I dried myself off, wrapping the towel around my body and started on my hair. I chose to do a half up- half down hairdo with the ends of my hair curled while the rest was straight. I put on some light makeup, not wanting to have to worry about the sticky feeling of it after hours of wearing it. I dropped the towel and pulled on my dress. I was a simple white spaghetti-strapped dress with a fitted bodice and a flowing skirt that reached right above my knees. I looked in the mirror.
'WE LOOK GOOOOD' Jezebelle commented and the girls agreed.
I nodded and turned around, opening the bathroom door to see Xander sitting on the bed, hair dripping, in his boxers. My mouth dropped open, and I could feel the girls' approvals run through my body.
"Like what you see beautiful?" I snapped out of it, looking at his face to see him smirking. I could feel my face heat up and I knew my face had turned red.
"Um I'm sorry. Let me go grab you some clothes." I said as I took off out of the room. I ran into my dad's room and went through his closet, finding some nice clothes for Xander, then taking off back into my room. I handed the clothes to Xander and he chuckled, grabbed the clothes, kissed my forehead and headed to the bathroom. As soon as he closed the door I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
'DAMN. THAN MAN IS SEXY AS HELL.' Sadie said. I rolled my eyes and I could feel her smirking, though she wasn't wrong. I sat on the bed and pulled on some white flats just as Xander walked out of the bathroom.
"All ready?" He asked, grinning widely. "You look absolutely stunning, my beautiful mate." He walked over and took my hand, kissed it and pulled me to my feet.
"Yep. All ready to go." I smiled at him as we walked out of the room. As we started walking down the stairs, the front door opened and my parents walked in, laughing. They stopped as soon as they saw us.
" Hey honey. Where ya going?" My dad asked as he shut the door behind him.
"I told you already. Remember?" I laughed and hugged him, then mom.
"Oh yeah. Your Luna ceremony. Is it okay if we come?" Mom asked, looking at Xander.
"Of course. Wouldn't feel right without her parents." Xander said smiling.
"Alright well we will be there as soon as we get ready. Go on. Don't wanna be late for your own party." Mom said, winking at me and walked towards the stairs. My dad looked at Xander and leaned in close to me.
"Is he wearing my clothes?" He whispered and I laughed.
"Will explain later." He nodded and walked off, following my mom.
"You ready?" I nodded, suddenly feeling nervous.
"Don't worry. They'll love you." Xander said as he opened the door and we made our way towards the car.
As we pulled into the long driveway, I could see in the distance a little community surrounding mansion. I gasped as we entered the area. The houses were beautiful and the mansion was even bigger up close.
"You like it?" Xander asked. I nodded enthusiastically and he chuckled.
"Glad to hear it." He said as he pulled up to a clearing next to the mansion. It was decorated beautifully with fairy lights and picnic tables covered with food. The area was already filling up with guests as we got out of the car.
"Your property is beautiful." I said in awe.
"It's ours now love." He said and grinned when my eyes widened in shock.
"It is?"
"Yes. Luna is like the female Alpha. We rule together. So that means pretty much everything you see, we own. Along with a few companies and restaurants." He grabbed my hand and started leading me to a couple standing near the house, talking to a few people.
"Mom, Dad." Xander said, the couple turned around and smiled.
"Hey sweetie." His mom said and looked at me. "Is this her?"
"Yes Mom. This is Angel, my mate." He said and put his arm around my waist, causing sparks to flow through my body.
"Hello ma'am. It's nice to meet you." I said as I put out my hand to shake. She rolled her eyes and pulled me into a tight hug.
"Call me Lisa honey. It's so nice to finally meet you." She pulled back and smiled at me.
"And you can call me Darren." His dad said and then hugged me briefly. I smiled and nodded at them.
"It's nice to meet you." Xander put his arm back around me and squeezed.
"Come on love. It's time." I nodded and wiped my palms on my pants nervously. I watched as Darren walked up on the little stage next to the house and cleared his throat. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him.
"As you know, my son found his mate.." cheers erupted in the crowd and I smiled. Xander pulled me slightly and we started walking up to stand next to his father.
" This is Angel. My mate and your new Luna." I stood up straight and smiled widely. I stepped forward and addressed the crowd.
"I may not know much about being Luna yet, but I can promise I will do my best to be there for the pack and help in any way I can. Don't be afraid to talk to me like a friend. Because I will be." Cheers erupted once again and I looked over to see Xander grinning widely.
"I hope everyone has a wonderful evening." Xander said and we walked off the stage as everyone went back to what they were doing.
" Seems like they approve." Xander said as he pulled me towards the mansion. "Now that they have met you, I'd like to spend some time with you if you don't mind of course."
"Not at all." IAs soon as he opened the door my eyes widened. The entryway was modern, with black carpet and beautiful marble accents. There were two sets of stairs, one on both sides of the area.
"Do you like it?" He asked and chuckled when he saw my expression.
'HOLY SHIT! OUR MAN IS LOADED!' Sadie commented and I nodded.
"Yeah. Wow." He laughed again and started pulling me towards the stairs.
"Come on. I wanna get into something more comfortable." I nodded and followed behind him, looking at everything as we went.
We walked down a hall, stopping at a door at the end, and opened it. I looked at the large room in awe.
Like the rest of the house, the room was very modern, with large windows and black carpet. There were blackout curtains covering the windows and a king size bed sitting in the corner. There was a soft leather couch facing a large flat screen tv on the other end of the room and a mini fridge sitting in the corner. There were two doors in the room. One next to the bed and one on the other side of the room.
"I love your room. It's big but cozy." I smiled at him as I walked in and looked around.
"Well it's our room now." He said and my head turned in his direction.
"What do you mean?" I looked at him in confusion..
"Oh. Well, when a wolf meets their mate, they usually move in with them. Most of the time, the female is the one who moves. But I won't make you if you're not comfortable with it." I looked down.
Are you guys okay with that?
'HELL YEAH I AM!' Jezebelle said.
'I'D LIKE IT VERY MUCH'. Arella added.
'YESSSSSSS!!' Sadie Yelled. Making me wince slightly.
"....Angel?" I looked up to see Xander looking at me with a worried expression. I smiled.
"Yes…"
XANDER
"Yes...?" I stared at her in confusion.
"Yes, I'll move in with you." My eyes widened in shock and she giggled.
"Are you sure because I don't want to rush you-" she cut me off by jumping into my arms.
"I'm sure. Yes, it's scary but I believe this is where I belong." She said, her voice muffled by my shoulder. Tears welled in my eyes and I jumped to my feet, spinning her around. She started laughing.
"YES!" I yelled. She pulled back as I set her down and stared at me with a smile on her face.
Suddenly there was an ear piercing scream outside and we both jumped. She looked at me in fear and took off out the door with me following close behind her. We burst through the front door and froze.
Standing in the clearing, there was a giant creature, holding up August by her throat and snarling in her face. It was over 8 feet tall with a tail, horns and red skin.
"WHERE IS SHE?!" It screeched in her face, tightening his grip on August. I looked over to see Angel's face full of fear. I watched as her face morphed into a furious expression and the air around her started to sizzle.
"YOU LET GO OF HER THIS INSTANT!" She yelled, her voice held so much authority that even I was forced to my knees. The beast looked over and dropped August, causing her to fall to the ground, coughing hard. It walked over to Angel, stopping a few feet from her and bowing.
"MY PRINCESS. YOUR FATHER DEMANDS YOUR PRESENCE."
"You expect me to listen to you after you hurt my FRIEND?! YOU DO NOT TOUCH MY FAMILY OR MY PACK!!" She screamed. She started levitating and suddenly everyone was blinded by a bright light. Blinking my eyes rapidly, I looked up and was stunned.
Angel had shifted into her demon. Long black hair floated around her, seemingly carried by wind. Her skin had turned a dark red and her eyes shone violet. She had giant black wings spread out behind her. I watched in awe as she glared at the beast and pointed a sharp claw at it.
"You will die for this." With that she flew forward, grabbing the beast's neck and lifted it off the ground, digging her sharp nails into its flesh. It struggled, but it was useless. She was much stronger. She leaned in close to its face.
"Give a message to my father..." she whispered, even though we could all still hear her.
"If he ever hurts my family, he will pay with his life.." Then she tore the demon in half and dropped it onto the ground. She smirked, showing off sharp teeth, before she lowered herself back to the ground. We all watched as the beast's body slowly turned into black ash and seeped into the ground, leaving no trace of it being there.
Jezebeth walked gracefully to August, holding out her hand to help her up.
"Are you alright?" She took her hand, pulling herself up and nodded.
"Thank you, Jezebeth." Jezebeth nodded, and turned towards me.
"Hello my mate." She said, walking over to me. I smiled.
"Hello Jezebelle. Nice to finally meet you." She put her arms around my neck and kissed my lips softly.
"Likewise mate." She closed her eyes and she shifted back to Angel. Her eyes opened and she blushed, pulling away slightly.
Suddenly the crowd erupted in cheers and we jumped at the sudden noise. She turned towards them and smiled shyly.
"Well it looks like they accept you." I said to her and grinned. She smiled back, her eyes sparkling with joy. Her parents walked up to us and pulled her into a hug.
"We are so proud of you honey." Her mom said as she hugged her tightly.
"Thanks mom." Angel said as she hugged her back. I cleared my throat, gaining their attention.
"I hope you don't mind, but Angel has agreed to move into the pack house." Her mom looked at me then at Angel.
"Finally." She said and laughed. Angel looked shocked.
"You're okay with it?" Her mom nodded.
"Honestly, I expected it sooner. Mates typically move in together as soon as they meet." Her mom said and hugged her again.
"Oh." Angel whispered.
"We can get your stuff tonight if you want." I suggested and took her hand. She nodded and smiled.
"We can do that."
"Great. Let's go then."
