Our glasses clinked together as our friends and family toasted to our mating. Everyone was shockedand excited when we arrived back at the packhouse officially mated and marked. I couldn’t deny theatmosphere within the packhouse was energized, and there was no way to quickly get away. We werestuck in the packhouse lobby for over an hour while anyone within a mile came to congratulate us.

And it was absolutely lovely, if a little overwhelming.

When we could finally retreat to the Alpha’s suite, Theo’s parents insisted on a private celebration.Briggs, Mina, Jimmy, Annabelle, and her mate all joined us in our apartment. Grace took out a set ofglasses and two bottles of champagne.

“Before everyone starts in on the questions,” Torin said as he passed a bubbly glass to everyone, “Iwant to make a toast. To my favorite son and my beautiful new daughter” — he lifted his glass to meand Theo

– “there were some obstacles and a few stumbles along the way, but fate, faith, and determination gotyou both exactly where you’re supposed to be. I can’t think of two people who deserve this happinessmore. We love you both. To Alpha Theo and Luna Ayla.”

“To Alpha Theo and Luna Ayla,” everyone echoed.

Theo’s arm tightened around my waist.

“Thank you, Dad,” Theo said. “Thank you all.”

“Yes,” I concurred. “And I hope we didn’t disappoint you too much by not waiting for a ceremony.

Annabelle waved that off. “Oh, tosh. After all the will–they–won’t–they, we’re just glad you kids got youract together.”

We all laughed.

“And if it helps,” Briggs interjected, looking down at Mina, “you won’t have to wait long for a matingceremony.”

“What?” I gasped. “You set a date?”

Mina’s face flushed and she elbowed Briggs.

“It’s in a week and a half,” she said happily.

Both Annabella and I squealed in excitement and hugged her.

“I hope we didn’t steal any of your thunder,” Mina said quietly, giving Briggs a side–eyed look.

“Are you kidding?” I said. “You just made the day better.”

“A week and a half…” Grace breathed. “That doesn’t give us much time.”

Mina smiled at her. “No. So I’m desperately going to need your help, Luna Grace.”

Grace lit up. “Say no more,” she said, raising her hand. “Just tell me what you want, and I’ll take care ofit.”

We all laughed, knowing how much Grace loved to plan an event.

“And just so you know, Mom,” Theo said, pulling me back to his side, “you’ll still get the chance to planour ceremony. We’ve decided to have a mating ceremony anyway. On the winter solstice. Like in theold tradition.”

“Oh,” Grace’s hand went to her mouth as tears filled her eyes. “I’m sorry. It’s just so romantic.”

We spent another hour visiting before Theo subtly started to herd them out of the apartment. But notbefore Grace decided on a schedule for her to teach me the duties of being a Luna. It was something Ihadn’t thought about but was suddenly very grateful for.

“Okay, Mom,” Theo said, ushering his parents toward the door. “You can finish this tomorrow. We’ve gotto be up early.”

“I

“Alright, alright,” she said, giving him a hug and kiss on the cheek. “Love you.”

“Love you, too,” he said to both of them.

Torin hugged me and clapped Theo on the back before following his mate out of the apartment. Oncethey were gone, Theo shut the door and locked it, including the deadbolt. He let out a relieved sighbefore turning to me, a devilish look in his eye.

“What?” I asked, knowing exactly what.

A grin spread across his face, and he lurched at me, hooking me around the middle and hauling meagainst him as I squeaked.

“I thought they’d never leave,” he breathed, his lips pressed against

mine.

I chuckled as I snaked my arms around his neck, opening to his kiss. His hands found my hips, and heguided me backward toward the bedroom. He kicked the door shut behind him as he pulled my shirtover my head. I did the same with his before falling back onto the mattress. He leaned over me, cagingme in with his arms as his tongue and lips trailed down my neck.

“You know, baby,” he spoke against my skin, “there is one downside to not doing the whole ceremonything.”

“Oh,” I breathed, distracted by his exploration, “what’s that?”

“We don’t get our honeymoon,” he pointed out, tugging my shorts and panties down my legs. “If we hadour ceremony tonight” – he kissed his way up my thigh “I wouldn’t be expected to let you leave this

room for days.”

I sucked in a breath as his thumb slipped through my folds, pressing against my clit. He began workingcircles, teasing me as he lifted my knees over his shoulders.

“I could spend countless hours worshipping your body the way it should be,” his deep, husky voicerolled over me, making goosebumps. erupt across my flesh. “You’re so f***ing beautiful, baby. I lovehow ready you are for me every time I take you.”

“Theo,” I gasped, pushing my hips against his touch.

I moaned when his tongue replaced his thumb, his mouth closing around me as he devoured me.Waves of electricity buzzed through my

core.

Goddess, he was good at that.

When I was coming down from the results of his skills, he kissed and nipped his way back up my body,sliding me further up the bed.

“I guess we need to plan for a honeymoon then, don’t we,” I said breathlessly, reaching down to helphim slip the rest of his clothing

off.

He chuckled. “Absolutely,” he insisted.

I ran my hands along the hard curves of his body as he looked down at me. Our connection was sostrong now, but I couldn’t define the emotions I felt from him just then.

“What is it?”

He smiled, resting his forehead against mine. “I’m still having a hard time believing it,” he said quietly.“That you’re here. That you’re mine. That this is my home that I share with you, my mate.”

I smiled back. Then, to his surprise, in one smooth–motion, I rolled us over, straddling his hips.

“Then I guess I should do a better job making it undeniable.”
