Chapter 147

Valerose

I was dreaming about Lexi again. She is all I dream about when I do dream. The dreams just keep getting better and better. I swear I can feel her every time I dream. I can smell her in the room. I’m in bed with her and we are making love. I’m not fucking her in this dream. I have fucked her plenty of times in other dreams. Not this night. Lexi is on my lap slowly riding me. My hands are firmly on her hips not doing anything but holding her. I’m letting Lexi take what she needs from me. She is wearing nothing but a sheer white teddy, her head is thrown back in ecstasy. Her sweet soft moans fill the room.

Suddenly I see Lexi’s eyes change. They glow brighter. Like her wolf is at the surface. I have yet to meet Lexi’s wolf. Lexi slows a little and leans down to my ear. She bites my lobe and I feel fangs. I guess Wolfy wants to come out and play. Lexi whispers in a voice I have never heard before, “ If you want us, Val. Come find us. Feel your way to me.” Before I can ask what she means I feel her lips on my shoulder followed by fangs. Lexi bites down and I cum. Fuck. Lexi isn’t even in bed with me and she gets me off. Like a teenager having a wet dream.

I wake with a start and jerk up in bed. I look around to see I’m still in my hotel suite. Lexi has never been here but I swear I can smell her. I reach for my neck where Lexi bit me, noticing it is sore. It is sensitive to touch causing me to hiss. I jump up from the bed and run to the bathroom. I flip on the light so I can get a good look. I don’t know how but there is a mark on my neck. I can see two marks that look like Lexi actually bit me. How the fuck? I rub my two fingertips over the marks. They aren’t punctures but there is definitely an impression. What the hell is going on? Is it the mate bond? Now I know why the wolves mate quickly when they find their mate. This shit is intense. I want to run out the door and track Lexi down. When I find her I want to pin her to the nearest surface and fuck the hell out of her. I don’t care if it is a wall, floor, bed, table, grass or all the above.

I’ll take her anywhere, anytime. I just need her. These dreams aren’t enough. I need the real deal. I shut the light off and walked back to the bed. I’m drained so I flop down still rubbing my neck. The mark is right over the spot where the mating mark would go. What did Lexi mean by what she said? If I want her. Of course, I want her. More than anything. I will give up all of my plans for ruling to have her. Come find her. How? Feel my way to her? I need to think about this. I lay back down to try and get some sleep. Try being the operative word. All I did was toss and turn. I kept hearing Lexi’s words over and over on a loop. “ Come find me. Feel my way to her.” she had said.

Of course, I want to find her. I know she is on wolf territory most of the time. I know her school schedule. I don’t think she was referring to me meeting her at the university. Not if she said if I wanted her. Wanted to claim her. Feel my way. Sounds like a line from an eighties song. I do feel her all the time. Smell her too. Maybe that is what she means. If I tune all my senses into her I might be able to track her. I rub my head. This shit is giving me a headache. I need rest if I am going to be able to find her. I will find her. I’m done waiting. As far as Embrose. I know I promised he could be Lexi’s second mate. Things have changed.

I have to share her with two other Goddess-gifted mates. I’m not sharing her with the one I chose. She has already told Embros he wouldn’t be touching her. He can find his own mate.



Lexi

The day is here. My Luna ceremony. Christine and Calissa think it would be best to do it to show the supernatural world that we stand united. That I’m pledging my loyalty to them. I will be declaring my loyalty to not only Ryan’s and Luther’s pack. But to all the packs. Or herds, prides, dens. You name it. They have my loyalty. My protection. My help if they need it. I will do what I can for all shifters. Just like my birthday Calissa and Christine are helping me get dressed. I let Christine pick the dress this time. I had no input in it at all. My choice. Christine came to me one day when I was playing with the wild wolves. She told me she had an idea for my dress that she just could not get out of her head.

She said it just came to her but it was perfect for me. I let her run with it. I trust her. She hasn’t led me wrong so far. This time is no different. This dress is different. It looks like something a Greek Goddess would wear. Like Athena or Artemis maybe. It is a white silk wrap-style dress that stops at my knees in the front and my ankles in the back. Around the waist is a thick gold sash. Attached to my straps is a gold cape that fastens around my wrists with gold bands. The entire dress is trimmed in gold ribbon. I even have low-heeled gold sandals. When I put it on I swear I felt regal. Not that I would let something like that go to my head.

To top off the look I have a gold headband that rests just at my hairline with a blue gem in the middle. “ Oh, Lexi. It is even better than I imagined.” Christine gushed. “ You look like a true Goddess.” Calissa beamed. I looked in the standing mirror and I did like the reflection. It is simple but beautiful. “ Are you ready?” Christine asks. I look in the mirror one last time and take a deep breath. Yes, I am nervous. It isn’t just Ryan and Luther’s packs that will be here watching the ceremony. Many from the area are here just like my birthday. I know I saw the Mackinaw Island pack is here because I saw them earlier.

Most have come just to support me in becoming Luna. I will have to thank them all after the ceremony. I am beyond grateful for their support and alliance. I do wonder who they pledged themselves to. Ryan and Luther? Me? Or all three of us? I’m not going to overanalyze it. Just accept it for what it is. I turn to Christine and Calissa smiling. “ I’m ready as I’ll ever be.” They are escorting me tonight. I am a tent set up on the land where we are building the new joint packhouse. We are doing the ceremony on the land as a sign of unity. The packhouse is nowhere near being done. The foundation has been poured and set. The frame is up. The walls are in place. But that isn’t going to stop us from doing this.

So Kent, Henry, and Evan have set up a platform to perform the ceremony. There are tents in place with food and drinks. There is a D.J. setup and a removable dance floor. It is going to be one big party after my ceremony and pack run. A chance to celebrate and let loose. It is supposed to be a good night had by all. I’m nervous but I’m also excited. I can’t wait to see what happens.
