Chapter 20

**Elise**

-Next Morning-

Waking up the next morning had instantly become my new favorite feeling in the world. Feeling Ashton laying next to me with his bare muscle arm wrapped securely around my waist sent shivers dancing all along my skin.

*Mmm… I could get used to this,* I muse. Remembering upon returning to the room only to see Shaun, Ian and Iris. Their mates also present as we all now stood within the room. Nobody moving to speak until Iris. Her voice breaking the silence as she did.

“Elise? Who’s that?” asks Iris, remembering the way she had looked at me upon entering the room with Ashton. Iris standing next to Krista, her mate as she did.

Smiling widely, I move to properly introduce Ashton to my friends.

“Iris, this is Ashton. Ashton meet Iris, Shaun and Ian along with their mates Krista, Aerin and Kat.”

“Hello” smiles Ashton as he moves to introduce himself to each of them. Shaun’s eyes now on mine before speaking.

“Alpha?”

Deciding to humor him I move to answer him back, curious as to what they would think of Ashton as their future Luna of our pack and my mate.

“Yes Shaun?” I ask.

“Is Ashton your mate? But isn’t he Beta of the Midnight Pack?” asks Shaun, curious.

Trying hard not to laugh directly within his face, I moved to answer him back, knowing that each of them would naturally be curious about Ashton as they had never officially met until just now.

“Yes Shaun, Ashton is my mate and your future Luna. As for being Beta to the Midnight Pack, he’s officially their ExBeta and that title now belongs to his brother Damian as Ashton has broken his pack ties with Alpha Grant and has now officially joined ours” I move to tell him, my hold on Ashton’s hand still evident for those to see.

“That’s- That’s amazing Elise, congrats on snagging the hottest Beta ever” chuckles Ian, his eyes showing that he approved of the mateship. Not that I truly needed his approval. As the only approval that I would need would be that of my father’s, Alpha Sebastian for he was all I had left in terms of a family, my mother having passed while giving birth to me.

“Thanks Ian” I chuckle.

“Anytime” was all I heard before each and every one of us had begun chatting amongst ourselves. My Beta, Gamma and Delta each trying to understand their new Luna as I merely just watch, listening to them as they talk only to be pulled from my thoughts by a pair of lips as they gently touch along my bare shoulder.

“Good Morning my sexy Alpha” purrs Ashton.

“Mmm… Good Morning my Luna, sleep well?” I whisper not wanting to wake either of my friends, wanting to enjoy this moment with my mate as those here at the Moon Walker Pack were more than likely still sleeping after last night's events including those of the visiting packs.

“What’s on your mind?” asks Ashton softly, his eyes still on mine as he spoke.

“You. Just thinking how truly blessed I am to have gotten you for a mate and not some other male wolf” I move to reply back, Ashton growling at the thought of someone else claiming me and not him.

“Mine” growls Ashton, Xavier clearly at the forefront of his mind this morning as he moves to hover above me, his body now on top of mine as I sat laying on my back just slightly beneath him as he did.

“Of course we are” I whisper, the thought of being Ashton’s and only Ashton’s becoming more prominent than before. Not sure what we would have done if it was somebody else and not Ashton. Having secretly had the hots for him during our last big Alpha meeting with all the other Alpha’s from all over the world.

Millions upon trillions of Alpha’s from all over the world coming from all different packs to attend this once and a chance life time to attend. The meeting of the Alpha’s and of course their Beta’s.

Happy with my choice in words does Ashton move to smile, his lips now finding mine as we move to kiss one another gently, unable to deny the other of any sexual touch as we took that moment to ourselves.

*Goddess… Yes… Heavens yes…* I purr within my mind, unable to get enough of him as I carefully move to wrap my arms around his neck, drawing him closer to me as we deepen the kiss. Ashton moving to caress my skin with his fingers, his hand having snuck itself up and under my shirt in which I shiver.

Smirking against my lips, does he move to continue to caress my skin until he carefully pulls away, my lips now bruised by his super intense kiss as he then moves to nip it in the process before pulling himself away.

“So beautiful and all ours” whispers Ashton, his hand now hiking higher along my body only to be stopped by a knock on the door. Ashton growling at being interrupted as he moves to roll away, the loss of body heat causing me to whimper. My eyes now shifting towards the other side of the room and to where the door was, wondering who could have been stupid enough to interrupt my alone time with my mate, my Luna.

“Yes?” I call out, hoping my voice is firm when I do.

“Sorry to interrupt your alone time with our Luna my Alpha, but it's time for us to leave” remarks the voice of Shaun, my Beta.

Groaning, I moved to look at the clock on the bedside table only to see it now read 8:30 am which meant between all my daydreaming and my tiny little make out session with Ashton we had spent about a good 2 hours doing just that alone.

*‘Holy cow Elza, I didn’t think it was that late already’* I whisper to her.

Giggling at my blight does Elza move to reply back to me, amused as she did. *‘That’s what happens when you don’t pay attention to that of your surrounding area.’*

Sighing softly, I choose to ignore her. Deciding it was better to reply back to Shaun then to have him come waltzing into my room, the thought of my Beta seeing me possibly naked with Ashton not sitting well with me.

*NOPE! Not happening,* I move to think before finally speaking yet again.

“Alright. Thanks Shaun, be there in a little bit” was all I managed to say as I moved to sigh again. “ASS Munch” I grumble, knowing that Shaun had just totally cock-blocked me in getting laid by my mate.

*‘He’ll pay for that,’* grumbles Elza once she finally realizes it too, clearly not happy with our Beta.

*‘Oh he will, trust me on that one’* I mumble back to her, my mind already thinking of all the possible ways to get the perfect payback. Knowing that once I did, Shaun would always make sure to double check again before he ever decided to cock-block me ever again.

*Payback time Shaun,* I purr to myself before moving to put my plan into action, Ashton now back to holding me as he did.

“Mine” I purr, my mood instantly shifting back to happiness all thanks to Ashton. My mate, My Luna and My world.
