“If it makes her happy, I’d happy follow her around and wag my tail,” he chuffs in my mind.
“I would too,” I assure him.
He gives me control back and I shift into my human form quickly and almost silently. I wrap an arm around Elodie’s waist and pull her back against my chest.
“It’s beautiful here,” she breathes out, her words barely audible.
“I wanted to bring you someplace special to mark you under the grace of the moon. It seems the Goddess is helping me out a little,” I murmur the words against the shell of her ear.
“What do you mean?”
I don’t answer her with words and instead start to strip her as we stand at the edge of the tree line. When I realize that she’s only wearing a dress and nothing underneath, my cock, which was already hard, kicks against her back.
As if she knows silence is reverence in this clearing, at least for now, Elodie smothers her laughter with her hand. When she looks over her shoulder, the moonlight streaming through the trees allows me to see a hint of the joy in my mate’s eyes.
“Mate,” I growl softly, “have I told you how beautiful you look?”
She rolls her eyes before turning back toward the cleaning and sassing me, “That’s just because I’m naked.”
“Doesn’t hurt,” I admit because she knows just how beautiful I think she is. I haven’t missed an opportunity to tell her about how she bewitches me and how much I love her.
Even though I hate to do it, I let go of her to step up to her side. Our hands find each other and our fingers twine together. I glance over at her and then step into the clearing.
Elodie gasps and I watch emotions flit across her face as she watches nature show off in the clearing. I’m barely able to pull my eyes away from her, but I do and take in the way blue butterflies which glow in the light of the full moon explode from the fallen logs in the clearing.
It looks like moonlight dancing through the clearing.
“Wow,” her voice is full of reverence, and I can’t help but puff up my chest with pride.
I don’t know why this happens in this clearing or what attracts this species of butterfly, but maybe it’s not for me to understand and just appreciate. Being able to give my mate a memory like this one and celebrate our mating in a place where magic dances in the air is priceless.
I lead her a little farther into the clearing until I find where a blanket of moss looks like the Moon Goddess placed it just for us. I kneel in the middle of the moss and help my mate join me so that we’re facing each other.
We’re an offering on the altar of our Goddess and her light wraps around us, blessing our union and expressing her happiness with our mating. The shame of what I could have lost slams into me.
I cup her face in my hands, my voice thick, “Little moon, I’m sorry I allowed even a moment of doubt to cloud my judgement. I doubted you. I doubted our pack. I doubted the Moon Goddess. I doubted myself.”
“The Goddess doesn’t make mistakes,” Elodie’s voice is steel wrapped in velvet.
“I’ll never doubt her again, but more importantly, I’ll never doubt you. Knowing exactly what I needed, the Goddess sent you to me. I will never be able to repay her for the gift. Never.”
“Even after seeing it with my own eyes, it was hard to believe in a world beyond what I knew to be true, but the bond between us showed me that I can trust, rely on someone other than myself, and love.” Her hands wrap around my shoulders and the realization of our words feeling like vows wash over me. “I will do my best to be the Luna you deserve at your side.”
“Elodie,” I rasp, “you don’t have to try because you already are.”
She takes a deep breath and then reaches back to pull all of her gorgeous auburn hair to one shoulder while exposing the other. “I’m ready,” her words are strong and sure.
I lay her down, my body coming down to cover hers. Tonight, under the moon, the tingles feel even stronger. Blue butterflies glow as they continue to dance around the clearing as my fingers find my mate’s soaking wet slit.
“You’re dripping for me, mate,” I growl.
“Don’t make me wait, Crew,” she demands.
My wolf is riding me hard to slide inside of her to give us both what we need. While I normally maintain a tight hold on my control when it comes to my wolf and Elodie, I loosen the hold tonight. I know he would never harm her and this night, under the full moon as we mark our mate, we are in harmony and need to properly show reverence for the gift that the Moon Goddess has granted me.
The gift of my mate.
Elodie’s eyes widen as she looks up at me. She gasps as I slide inside of her with a forceful glide, “I love you, my Alpha, my wolf.”
