Chapter 14.
Estella’s POV.

I blink heavily seeing the light shine in as I’m snuggled against Collin’s chest, I hear his heart beat loudly under my ear. His breathing is steady meaning he’s still asleep, I lay still not wanting to wake him as I think about my life trying to wrap my mind around how I got so lucky. It’s only been a few days and I grow more attached to this man.

I was scared of him when I arrived and so quickly that has changed. He’s now the person I seek safety from. Maybe this is the mate bond Collin told me about, my fingers tingle against his skin when I hear him in my head.
“Yes it’s the mate bond.” He answers and I freeze as my eyes go wide.

“I told you our bond will grow and we will develop feelings and connections we never had before.” He says still sleeping as I hold my breath trying to figure out what just happened. I try to breath in deeply calming myself down as I try to speak through the connection.

“How do I hear you in my head?” I think without moving.
“Mind link.” He states chuckling as I look up at him in confusion.
“How does it work?” I ask out loud sitting up quickly.

“Well I’ve marked you now, which strengthens the mate bond, we will be able to communicate with each other in many ways you’ve never experienced before. I can mind link my pack because of our bond, you’re not a wolf so you can only mind link me until the Luna ceremony.” He says.
“Once you are accepted as Luna then you will be able to mind link the pack as well.” He finishes and I nod snuggling deeper.

“We need to get up soon.” He says softly.
“There’s lots to do before your Luna ceremony in a few days.” He finishes and I sit up looking at him, his big green eyes staring back at me. He sits kissing me deeply before standing to get dressed.

“Do you have plans with Steele today?” He asks pulling his shirt on.
“Yes.” I answer softly.
“We are going over the menu for the ceremony and picking the flower arrangements. We picked gold and red for the colours.” I say happily standing up dragging my blanket along with me.
“I’m glad you’re enjoying this.” He states with a smile.
“I’m happy that you’re no longer scared here.” I smile looking to my hands as he walks in to the bathroom.

I walk over to the closet feeling perfectly whole, I feel completely free here with Collin. My mind drifts to the Luna ceremony as I look through my clothes remembering my beautiful dress, I feel excitement rise just thinking about it.

My legs feeling sore from last night as I recall our first time together, I get butterflies and my body begins to heat up. I grab a light sundress and throw it on spreading out the wrinkles, it’s a soft purple with little blue flowers. Collin walks back in, his eyes sparkling gold as my heart drops.
“I can smell you.” He teases smirking at me, my face heats and I know it’s bright red.

He laughs walking over to me, picking me up wrapping my legs around his waist holding me there. I kiss him hard as I twist my fingers through his hair. He holds me up with one hand while unzipping his pants, he pulls his large member out releasing it from his clothes as it hits my swollen bud making me twitch.

I moan lightly and he glides the head along my opening sinking the tip in, I arch my back moaning loudly as he fills me.
“Do you like that baby girl?” He asks in a low deep voice.
“Mhm.” I respond while holding back a scream. He’s so big, he pushes in to me deeper as I shiver from his touch. He stands still holding me to him pulling my butt closer with each thrust.

“Cum for me baby.” He says excitedly as I come undone in his arms feeling my body pulse on him, he slams me down on him a few more times before pumping his liquids inside of me. We land on the bed holding each other as we catch our breath.
“Well good morning mate.” He says looking over to me and I just smile back at him.

I walk out of the room as he goes in to the bathroom to finish getting ready for the day. I skip down the hall going to find Steele, walking in to the kitchen I see her making French toast.
“Ouu it smells good.” I say.
“Good morning Luna!” She says giving me a huge smile.
“I told you to call me Estella.” I answer laughing.

“Ok.” She says with a small giggle.
“I can call you Estella, but when there’s other people around or other packs I will need to call you Luna.” She states and I nod.
“That’s fine I guess.” I answer.
“But when it’s just us, it’s Estella.” I say grabbing a piece of french toast pouring warm syrup over it. She finishes cooking and grabs a few pieces coming to sit with me.

“Do you have any ideas for the menu?” She asks shoving a huge piece of French toast in to her mouth, I nod finishing my bite.
“I really want steak.” I say laughing I never used to get it in the orphanage and when I lived on my own it was always so expensive or unavailable.
“We don’t get steak back home much we mostly have pork and chicken because those are the animals available to us without leaving the town.” I say.
“Well steak it is then, the cooks will be hear at 1 to go over the menu with us.” she finishes.

We soon finish eating, Steele grabs a small note pad to write our ideas in as we continue brainstorming. We add stuffed chicken as another meat option, which will be paired with honey glazed carrots and a herb pasta. For the steak we will have grilled asparagus with garlic potatoes, the chefs decide on an arrangement of desserts and treats for afterwords.

We spend most the morning talking about the Luna ceremony, sometimes I think she’s more excited about this then I am. After spending the day in the kitchen making plans and talking about flowers and colours, we decided to go with red roses and baby’s breath. By the time we are done making arrangements the cleaners are done in the grand hall.

We decide to meet Collin there to talk about the set up, he talks to Steele about where the tables will go and what table cloths we chose as I zone out looking at the huge mosaic glass windows. Each one has a different image of a wolf or a moon, the sun shines in from them reflecting around the room making the colours dance as I smile. I feel Collin’s hands wrap around me from behind and my body melts in to his.
"Are you happy?" He asks quietly as I turn to face him kissing him deeply.
"I couldn’t be happier." I respond pulling him closer to me.
