Chapter 119

Soma’s POV

Oliver and I chatted until dinner was done. I wasn't sure if I had to move, and I didn’t. Oliver made everyone move things around to be around me. I loved how he wanted me to be in charge of things, but I wasn't ready to be that person.

“Did Nick ever go back to London?”

“Present!” Nick exclaimed. “I heard that you finally woke up sleeping beauty,” he said kissing me on my head. “You have missed a lot maybe after dinner Oliver will allow me some time with you so we can catch up.”

“Maybe not.” Oliver snapped. “She needs her rest, and so do I, she is coming with me after dinner. Tomorrow the two of you can talk and have your fun if she is strong enough,” he said looking at me. “As long as you’re okay with that.”

“Of course I am.” I smiled.

“So tomorrow.” Nick smiled. I knew he was hiding something, I hope it was something good. I didn’t want any bad news. Since I woke up today I have felt this calming feeling. It might be because the Moon Goddess said she would be around to ensure we were safe, I wasn't sure.

I couldn’t stop thinking about Oliver naked I don’t know why. I was a virgin so it was kind of unreal of me to think about a naked man. Yes I had masturbated before but it was only a couple of times and it was over someone crazy from Hollywood, but now I am here thinking about him naked.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking about, but you are blushing and you have a sexual smell to you,” Oliver whispered to me. “But whatever it is, I love your thoughts.”

“I uh I.” I couldn’t talk I giggled instead. I don’t know why it was hard for me to control my mind, maybe it was because I knew it was going to bring us closer and it would bring Seff to the surface and out of her prison.

“Well when we’re done here you can explain to me what you were thinking about,” he said touching my leg. “I am sure I already know what you’ve been thinking about.” he gave me an evil grin.

“I don’t know if you can handle me,” I said sticking my tongue out at him.

“Oh is that a fact?” he growled playfully. “Attention pack members, apparently the Luna has issued a challenge, sadly none of you will be able to witness this, but I need to show her I can do any challenge she throws at me,” he said getting to his feet. “So if you guys don’t mind I need to take her upstairs and show her my challenging skills.” With that, he picked me up and I giggled.

“You better giggle because I plan to tickle torture you until you tell me what you were thinking at the table,” he whispered in my ear, his hot breath was making me more aroused. “Don't worry I am going to make sure you are taking care of while I make sure you don’t overdo it,” he said closing the door behind us. “We don’t have to go far or we can go all the way.”

When he said that I giggled, I wanted to go all the way. I wanted to feel his entire body take me to a new world. I wanted to be marked and mated.

“I think I am ready for this Oliver. I know your wolf has been wanting or dying to meet Seff.”

“He has, and so have I, I just hope she isn't as crazy as she was before.” he grinned. “I love the both of you so much.”

The night was magical, I didn’t think I would want to continue throughout the night but it was bliss, I didn’t want to stop but when morning came around Oliver was called by Micah. He tried to put it off, but he had promised to do something for Micah and I wasn't about to let Oliver bow out of things that he needed to get done. I would be waiting for him when he got back. I didn’t plan on leaving the room even though I was starving, but I could now mind linking Oliver. Seff still hadn't made an appearance in my head like Oliver explained would happen. I was worried she was still locked away and couldn’t find her way to me. I wanted to hear her voice in my head, I wanted her to show me how to shift but she wasn't there. I was kind of hurt but mostly scared because she wasn't answering me.

Later that day Oliver managed to find me curled up on the bed watching some TV.

“Hey,” he said kissing me. “Do you want to go to the store with me, and then to the coffee shop? I have to drop off some things for Micah since he won't leave without someone there.”

“Yeah, give me a few minutes to get ready and we can go,” I said putting the book down. “Do you mind if we stop by the tea shop?”

“I was hoping you wanted to go there, did you want to reopen or do you want to close it down since you are now Luna and I rather you be here?”

“Well, I don’t know,” I said getting dressed. “I haven't thought about doing anything with it, I mean I have been away from the store for a long enough time I don’t think anyone remembers my shop, so we might end up closing it.”

“Okay, whatever you want to do,” he said pulling me closer. “Besides you could always open your shop here, I am sure the pack would love to be able to buy tea.”

I didn’t say anything, I wasn't sure what I wanted. Managing the store was my dream, but that all changed now. I couldn’t put it about me, we needed to figure out what my role would be. I know he wanted to do a Luna ceremony and get that done so I could mind linking everyone, but I wasn't in a rush yet. I still was recovering and I wanted Seff to be in my head before anything.

I felt like I was weak compared to everyone else, but I needed to wait until she made her appearance, then I would feel better about being Luna and wanting to have more charge when it came to making decisions.

“Alright let’s get going,” he said smiling at me.

It didn’t take long to get to the coffee shop, I stayed in the car for a moment, and I looked over at the tea shop, it was dark and depressing. I knew the best bet was to close shop and move on to better things. Maybe I could help Oliver and Micah at the coffee shop, I wasn't sure they wanted me there but if they wanted the help I was willing.

“Alright come on love,” Oliver said opening the door. “I know you are thinking about the tea shop a little too much, why don’t we get some coffee and cookies and you can decide later. No one has messed with the shop since you’ve been gone so it’s safe the way it is.”

“Okay.” I half-smiled. We walked into the coffee shop, Micah was behind the counter.

“Luna Soma!” he said running over and picking me up. “I knew you would come, how are you feeling today? I see you’re marked.” he giggled.

“Yeah I am better today, what are you up to?”

“Running these crazy customers crazy! Ha!”

“Good.” I smiled. “Can I get a coffee and some cookies, Oliver said he has some things for you, and I wanted coffee.”

“Of course.”

After I got my coffee and cookies I sat at the table and looked across the street. I was still torn about what to do over there. Part of me wanted to continue to run it, but the other part of me wanted nothing to do with it because of what happened, so I was most likely going to close the doors and be done with that part of my life.

“Are you ready to go?” Oliver asked noticing me staring at the tea shop.

“Yeah, I think so,” I said following him out to the car, I was getting tired and wanted to be close to home. Plus I knew I had to meet with Nick because he had something important to tell me. I missed hanging out with him, it was bad that I didn’t get to see him much before things happened with King Gideon.

Getting back to the pack lands, I was excited. Oliver said he had some kind of surprise for me, I was a little afraid of what he had but mostly excited. I looked over at Oliver and he was smiling big, I knew he had something special. I wasn't sure if he knew it was my birthday, it didn’t matter just being with him was the best birthday present for me.

“Are you excited?” he said before getting out of the car.

I was. “Maybe.” I giggled. “Alright, I am excited,” I said rushing around the car to meet him. “You don’t have to surprise me though, cant you tell me what it is?”

“Nope.” he giggled. “But you are going to cry when you see this,” he said putting his arm around me. “Well, I hope they are happy tears and not something bad.”

“I don’t think you can make me sad,” I admitted. Everything about Oliver was special, I guess it was the mate bond or whatever, I just knew he and I were going to be strong.

“I know you are torn about the tea shop, I wanted to show you something I had built for you. Whether you want to do tea or something else, or nothing. I wanted to show you my love for you.” he said as we walked a few minutes away from the house.

“But I also wanted to give you and me some privacy, so I built us a house. You can sell tea in the back where the nice lake is, or we can do coffee if you want,” he said showing me the beautiful house and then the cute little shop.

“I love it.” I gushed over this, I couldn't believe he'd been doing this and that was why he was away a lot. I loved him so much.
