I closed my eyes, his huge hands wrapped around my body and he deepened the kiss. I hadn't kissed anyone before so I didn't know what to expect. I wrapped my arms around his neck while he savored all the corners of my mouth.
My insides were burning with a tingling sensation, I was in heat, his kiss was making me feel things I haven't felt before. His arm trailed my cheek, neck and collar bone until it rested on my chest, which was pounding.
He cupped one of my breasts and gave it a gentle squeeze, a moan escaped my mouth. He squeezed again and I shivered, my legs were getting weak but his strong arms were holding my weight.
When his arms fisted my other breast, I whimpered in delight, I think I was more sensitive on my left peak. He was squeezing my breasts and sucking my lips at the same time, I could feel my core tighten with lubricating liquid flowing through it, I loved what he was doing, and I wanted more.
"Nmm" I moaned in between the kiss; he bit my lower lip causing me to gasp and he took that as an opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth. It became a deep, wet kiss.
His lips left mine with plop sound, I already missed his lips on mine. His arms freed my cleavage and wrapped my waist, he was starting into my eyes, piercing my soul.
My Mate.
My very own.
At last.
I rested my head on his chest, hearing the sound of his heart beating softly. He didn't move or say anything, just held me in place.
"You have no idea how long I've searched for you" I said, still resting on his huge frame.
"Hmm" was all he said, I was expecting him to say he searched for me too.
"Didn't you also search for me?" I asked, eager to hear his response.
"We need to get back inside" He deadpanned and gently pushed my body away from his.
"Why? We can stay here all we want" I uttered but he was already walking inside the Hall.
I held the hem of my gown and ran to catch up with him.
'He didn't even wait for me' I thought inwardly, trying to hide my sadness.
When he entered the Hall, I almost lost him amidst the crowd, his body frame was huge and well-built so he could pass through the crowd with ease, but I had to push through a lot of wolves to get to him.
"You can't just walk out on me" I muttered in between pants. I was trying to catch my breath.
"But I did" He replied simply, not bothering to spare me a glance.
Well, you shouldn't have, that's not how you treat your mate" I voiced out, getting annoyed by his nonchalant attitude.
He chuckled softly, finding my comment amusing. I walked up to him and stared directly into his eyes, he stared back at me and I almost drooled by how gorgeous he looked.
He had jet black hair, so long it reached his waist line. His eyes were black too, deep and empty yet full of power in them. His nose was slim and pointe, and his thin lips were bright red, looking ever so tempting.
"I have to go back to my park now" He suddenly voiced, I furrowed my brows, he was leaving?
"Can't you stay longer?" I asked lowly, succumbing to my vulnerable self.
"No" He deadpans. "I have subjects to govern"
"Are you a member of the Cresent Council?" I asked curious, the Cresent Council was a group of strong and intelligent wolves who were filled with wisdom and able to make good decisions to govern the park, they worked hand in hand with the Alpha.
He stared at me longer than usual, seeming a bit taken by my question.
"No sweetheart, I'm the Alpha" He stated simply as if he said it all the time.
The Alpha!
The legendary Alpha of Crescent Valley!
I've heard people talk about him, how he's good looking and powerful, how he's fought tons of wars and won each one without a scratch on his body.
That same Alpha, was my mate.
My heart swelled in pride as I stared at him.
Good things do come to those who wait, even though I was very desperate.
"Wow, you're everything people said you are" I muttered amazed and he smiled, a lovely smile that had me grinning shyly.
"Did you come with someone?" He questioned.
"Yes, my elder sister. Only, it'll be hard to find her in this crowd, especially since she's drunk"
"Can't you find her using her scent?"
"I can't fully use my wolf's powers until I find my-" I swallowed the rest of my words, I'd found my mate. I could fully use my wolf now.
I turned towards the crowd, trying my best to focus. I mirrored what Vespera scented like and my mind wandered around the crowd, through people and objects until I found her, grinding her body against male wolves.
"I've found her" I blurted out, the Alpha smiled at me.
"Let's go meet her" He uttered.
"Wait"
He rose a brow.
"What's your name?" I asked since he didn't ask for mine.
"Calhoun, and you are?"
"Ashira" I mouthed and he nodded.
***
Dragging drunk Vespera out of the Hall wasn't an easy job, she cried and wailed as if we were kidnapping her, she even hit Calhoun on the face, much to my dismay.
Now she was sound Asleep in our room, while Calhoun and I stood outside, talking about nothing in particular.
"My Beta and guards are waiting for me; I have to return to my park" Calhoun voiced.
"Don't you think I should come along?" I asked playing with my dress.
"Your sister needs to be aware first" He stated, matter of fact.
"You're right"
"So, I'll come back tomorrow before sunset. Have your things prepared by then"
I nodded happily, in less than 24 hours I was going to be living with my mate in his park, maybe he'll introduce me as his luna.
"Goodnight Ashira" Calhoun uttered and began to walk away.
No kiss, no hug.
Anyways, the moon goddess had answered my prayers and I couldn't be more grateful.
