Mother of the Moon - Chapter 120 - The Party
Zelena.
We came back down to the stage, our feet landing at the same time. I turned to Gunner, completely elated at the thought that the Goddess approves of him using her power. I launched into his arms, crashing my lips to his and kissing him deeply. He lifted my legs to wrap around his waist and held me by my thighs. I ravaged his mouth, my tongue exploring the deepest parts of him. Hungry and desperate to feel any part of him pressed against me.
“For the Alpha and the Goddess. The True Mates” Tobias’s voice called out of the crowed of shocked and stunned Weres. At his proclamation they once again broke out into a sea of howls and cheers. As hard as it was to break away from his lips, we did. He kept me in his arms and rested his forehead against mine. I took heavy breaths to calm the unsatisfied need for more of him. My heart ached to feel him inside of me, to feel his lips and tongue and hands roam my body. I don’t know if it was the shared use of the power, or the new surge of energy, but the heated desire I felt for him was near unbearable.
Gunner let my feet back on the ground and pulled me into his side, gripping my body to his tightly. He turned us to face the pack and placed his hand over his heart and bowed his head. I mimicked his action without hesitation. I know that it is to show respect. And I adore our pack, and I respect our allies. The crowd didn’t follow suit though. Instead, they all got down to their knees, held their hands out and lowered their heads, a pose that I have become a little more accustomed to now.
“For the Alpha and the Goddess” they sung out in perfect unison. After a moment they stood and watched us for what to do next. I looked up at Gunner and winked. He smiled back and turned to the pack.
“Let’s have ourselves a party!” he yelled throwing his arms above his head and laughing loudly. The crowd cheered and started to break apart. Standing on the stage, I could see the village better. The long picnic tables were overflowing with mountains of food. Bathtubs were placed around the space filled with ice and cold drinks. The lanterns provided just enough light, but he candles in vases set out on all the tables added to the ambiance. This is going to be one hell of a party.
Gunner's arms snaked around my waist and his head came to rest on my shoulder. He pressed his nose into my neck and inhaled harshly. A growl rolled out of his mouth as he trailed his tongue up the side of my neck to my jaw.
“You smell so fucking good” he rumbled. I pressed myself back against him, my ass rubbing against his crotch.
“Think we can slip away for a few minutes?” he whispered grazing his nose across my neck and cheek. I growled with excitement. The thought of having him pounding inside me, with hundreds of people close by and the possibility of getting caught, it set a fire in my panties.
“Alpha, Luna” Lupus called over to us. I growled again with annoyance. Gunner bit my cheek gently before following it with a kiss.
“Duty calls, love. We gotta go shake some hands and kiss some ass, and then, I’m going to bury myself inside that sweet little ass of yours” he growled the last bit, and I nearly came just from his words.
“Gunner” I whimpered. I don’t know if I’ll be able to hold out that long. He chuckled and took my hand, leading me to a long table set up at the side of the stage. Roe and Nat were already seated, along with Tobias and Smith. No Cole though. In fact, I haven’t seen him at all yet. We sat down, Tobias, Nat and Smith at my right and Gunner at my left with Lupus and Roe next to him.
“Gunner”
“Yes, my love” he replied as he passed me a glass of wine.
“Where’s Cole?” I asked, watching his face carefully. His jaw tensed and his eye twitched a little.
“He is leading the fighters and border patrols. Someone needed to make sure that all our guests remained safe tonight and we didn’t have any unwelcomed visitors. He was more than happy to volunteer” he answered with a monotone and uncaring attitude. Though I could tell he was bothered by it.
“You didn’t want him at the ceremony?”
“He wanted to ensure our safety, how could I argue with that. Here eat, the diplomats will start coming up to us any minute now and I want you to eat” he brushed passed the topic of Cole, I could tell he didn’t want to talk about it. Even if he pretended that he was okay with it, I could tell he wasn’t. He pushed a large plate of food in front of me and nodded for me to eat. He wasn’t wrong about the diplomats. The first visiting ambassador came right over to our table, shadowed by four other Weres.
“Hello Alpha, my Goddess” the man smiled and bowed his head with his hand over his heart, then stood up again and spoke with his arms out by his side.
“I am Gregor, Beta wolf of the New Moon pack. On behalf of my Alpha, may I say, we are truly honoured to hold an alliance with the pack of the Triple Goddess. I give my word that if you call, we will answer”.
“Thank you, Beta Gregor. I appreciate you coming in your Alpha’s absence and hope that you can pass on our thanks” Gunner smiled and nodded.
“If I may?” Gregor asked as he stepped closer to the table. Growls erupted from behind us and also from Tobias. I looked over my shoulder to see Felix and a row of big buff and scary looking Weres, acting as our guards. I looked over the row of men and they each held an aura of fierceness and intimidation. Oh. They’re not acting. They are actually here to guard us, or me.
“Apologies, I only wish to offer the Goddess my personal greeting” he rushed out, pausing his forward movement and bowing again.
“It’s fine” I waved off the guys behind us and stood up, Tobias followed suit, standing beside me like a giant protective watch bear. Gregor stepped forward, leaned over the table and took my hand, placing it to his forehead.
“For the Goddess, I live” he said softly before quickly releasing my hand and stepping back.
“Enjoy your night of celebration Alpha, Luna”.
With that, he turned around and quickly shuffled off with his entourage. I sat back down and continued to eat.
“I’m not exactly thrilled with a bunch of men putting their grubby hands all over you” Gunner growled lowly.
“He touched my hand, that was it” I huffed and held back a laugh. Another man walked forward with a young woman and a few other people behind them. He must be in his early thirties maybe late twenties, with dark brown hair and a manicured beard. But the woman was clearly much younger, around our age I would think.
“Howdy Alpha Gunner, Luna Zelena. Thank you so much for having us here to join in this glorious celebration” the man spoke with a pep in his voice and a smile on his face. He wasn’t nearly as scared or intimidated by us as Gregor was.
“Alpha Travis, Luna Maryann, thank you so much for coming” Gunner beamed, sanding up from his seat and walking around to the front of the table. He embraced the Alpha and they both leaned in for Sevasmo, holding the position for longer than usual. When they broke apart, they hugged briefly before Gunner bowed his head to the Luna.
“Zelena, come here babe” Gunner waved me to him. I stood up and walked over to where they were standing, with Tobias following closely behind.
***You don’t have to get up, you can keep eating***
***Wherever you go, I go little one***
I chuckled over my shoulder at Tobias and came up next to Gunner. He pulled me into his arms and smiled brightly at the Alpha and Luna.
“Travis, this is Zelena, my Mate. Zee this is Alpha Travis and his Luna, Maryann, of the Waning Wolf pack” he said pointing to Travis and Maryann.
“Hello” I smiled and nodded.
“Phew, she’s a looker. Tell me darlin’ how did a scrub like him manage to wrangle a woman like you?” he chuckled to himself. Gunner laughed and punched him lightly on the chest. I giggled and smiled at the two of them, totally loving this interaction. They are clearly very close.
“Well, you can’t fight fate” I chuckled and rested my head on Gunner's chest.
“Unfortunately for you sweetheart” Travis laughed a big throaty laugh. Gunner let me go and leaped onto Travis, tackling him in a headlock. The two of them laughed and growled and wrestled around.
“Hi, it’s so nice to meet you” Maryann said stepping closer.
“You as well, thank you for coming” I replied as we watched our Mates play fight.
“Are you kidding, it’s not every day that you get invited to the Triple Goddess’s birthday party. Oh, happy birthday by the way” she smiled and gently placed her hand on my forearm. I felt Tobias move in closer behind me at her movement. She noticed and quickly pulled her hand back again.
“Oh, thank you” I chuckled awkwardly.
“So, these two are close then?” I asked,
“As close as two competing Alpha’s can get. Gunner use to spend summers at Waning Wolf and Trav would spend some summer’s here. They grew up together I suppose, even though Travis is seven years older than him”.
“What an amazing way to build an alliance” I remarked, watching the two guys come to a rest and start walking back over to us, still bumping and shoving into each other.
“One of the purest alliances we have” Maryann agreed.
“You two done measuring dicks?” she teased as Travis pulled her into his side.
“Yep, I won of course” Travis chuckled.
“You wish” Gunner snorted.
“Alpha” a strong and deep voice rumbled over to us. The sound sent a flutter of butterflies to my neither region. Weird, not my normal reaction to a stranger's voice. A tall bulking man stepped forward followed by a rather large group of men. They must be the Howlers. The man in front was bigger than Gunner, but by no means as big as Tobias. Curly light brown hair sat on top of his head and tattoos covered his arms. His aura of power was a little off putting and made my stomach pang and turn in on itself.
“I’ll be around, we’ll catch up more later” Travis winked at Gunner.
“My Goddess” he said turning to me with his hand out. I placed my hand in his and the feel of his skin immediately sent tingles up my arm. He felt it too because his grip on my fingers tightened a little. Oh no. Please, please, please don’t be what I think this is.
