Luna On The Run!

Alpha Zane’s POV

My heart pounds as I watch the jet coming closer.

The emblem of the Alpha King’s office is clearly visible on the fuselage. I smile, the man is sending his daughter to her mate in style, I wouldn’t have done it any other way.

I glanced at the decorations the women of the pack had put up. The path is lined with the most beautiful flowers and there is an arch of fresh lilies. Two men were laying a red carpet for her. All the best for the Luna of Midnight Moon.

And when the pilot finally lands the plane and opens the door, she steps out. There she was, as stunning as I remembered her. Naturally, I visited her social media accounts and searched for information about her online. She had always kept a low profile until she was mated to Gorgio. Her Facebook wall is full of pictures of the two of them together, during their joining and Luna ceremony, hand in hand during pack holidays, dancing with Gorgio and all sorts of intimate moments captured. In almost all of them, she is with the Alpha, hanging on his arm or leaning against his chest as he cuddles her. I had to fight back my jealousy at the sight of all this.

But here she is, ready to come into my arms too. She will not lack for attention and warmth, I have so much to give her. I can’t take my eyes off her as she stands there on the platform like the princess she is. Selene really broke the mold when she made Ariel.

I walk towards the stairs, with Eric hot on my heels. Smiling, I look up at her.

“Ariel, welcome to Midnight Moon. We have all been looking forward to your arrival, we are overjoyed to have you with us,” I greet her emotionally, holding out my hand. She has a slight smile on her lips and her eyes are gentle. She graciously comes down the stairs until she stands in front of me and takes my hand.

The sparks hit my body like wildfire. For a moment my hand trembled, but I squeezed hers tightly. When I look into her eyes, she is smiling, but there is nothing to suggest that she is experiencing the same wonderful feeling. “Thank you, Zane. It’s a privilege to visit your pack. Sorry, you had to wait for me,” she replies in a high-pitched voice. It is the first time I have heard it, and Claw rolls onto his back in adoration of his mate.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“I’m ready to wait all my life for you, mate. But you’re here at last, and that’s important. Come, let’s finish the official part so we can be alone and talk.” She smiles and turns to her entourage. It is only now that I notice that she has arrived with four women.

“These are my personal assistants. They have been my confidants and maids since my father’s pack,” she explains. The women bow briefly to me. But I frown when I notice a witch among them. Ariel notices my reaction and pats my hand. “This is Xanna, she’s a hybrid and completely innocent. To be honest, she is more of a werewolf than a witch. I hope her lineage won’t cause any problems.”

Of course, I don’t mind her friends, Ariel can do anything in the pack, her wishes are our orders. With her hand still in mine, I led her to where my parents were waiting anxiously. In the distance, Kensley stands with my phone, taking as many pictures of us as I have instructed him to.

“Mum, Dad, this is Ariel, my mate. Ariel, these are my parents, Alpha Michael and Luna Irmy”, I introduce them. My mum takes her in her arms and kisses her on both cheeks. “Welcome to Midnight Moon, Ariel. We are happy to have you here at last, we have been waiting for you like forever. But finally you are here and we hope you will love it here”.

“Thank you, Luna. I do not doubt that I will be fine here. And Zane is so considerate”. My parents hesitated for a moment after her answer but recovered quickly. My father also hugs her, indicating that the pack is thrilled with the new Luna.

We walk to the waiting Limo, which is spacious enough for all of us. Eric and Kensley take the back seat, while Ariel and I face my parents. My hand is resting on my mate’s shoulder as I look lovingly at her outline.

“Ariel, when do you want to have your Luna ceremony? I’m ready to hand over, Zane has been Alpha for years. I need to retire,” my mother jests. “Besides, the youngsters are looking forward to having a Luna of their own age with whom they can connect more easily. I’m a bit too old skool”. Ariel laughs softly.

“Zane and I still need to talk and make arrangements. Once we have our relationship sorted out, we can set a date for official business. But for now, he and I need to define our relationship properly first,” she replies quietly. Disappointed, my mother fidgets with her hands; from the looks of it, she thought she would be settling down soon.

“Don’t feel rushed, Ariel. We will help you for as long as you need it. We know that your situation is extraordinary. But remember, you are mates and you belong together. There is no going back,” my father stresses.

Sensing that the conversation was getting a bit awkward, I changed the subject.

“You will meet the high and mid-ranking members of the pack at a banquet. But first, we are going to the main meeting hall where the pack wants to meet you. I will introduce you there as my fated mate,” I tell her. She just bobs her head and looks outside. We are now driving along the main road that runs right through the business center. Everything is lit up and people are still waving along the road.

My mate waves back with a smile and soon we are at our destination.

I take her hand and proudly walk with her down the hallway to the stage, followed by my parents, Beta and Head Warrior. Flanked by my parents and the Elders of the pack, we stand in the center for all to see.

“Midnight Moon, our Luna is home. This is Ariel, she is the daughter of Alpha King Petric of Blue Blood. And now the Luna of our pack”.

A loud cheer erupts, the women applaud and dance, and many men instantly shift into their wolves out of sheer joy…
