Chapter 88


    The iming by Cooper (Jara & Mason)


    Mason


    While I love how excited my pack is to have Jara here, it’s making me antsy that they want to be so


    close to her. I know that will settle the longer she’s here, but we’re newly mated and after fighting so


    hard to get her, it’s hard to befortable with so many unmated males around her, even if they are


    my pack members.


    After she kisses me in front of my pack, the echoes of their excitement in my ears, I feel better. She


    made a point to give them what they needed, her attention and touch and then she showed everyone


    that she belongs to me. It went a long way to soothing my unease.


    Title of the document


    When we walk inside the packhouse, I see her looking around, a*s*sessing the space. I’m very


    interested in knowing what she thinks but I want to let her digest it all first.


    I lead her up the stairs to the third floor in the center of the packhouse. This is our space. The only


    rooms in this section of the house are mine, or ours. It overlooks the pool, the forest and the mountains


    in the distance. There are other third floor rooms, but they don’t connect. Elijah has a section of rooms


    on the right side of the house and Joe and Ste have a section of rooms on the third floor on the left


    side of the house. The second floor runs the entire length of the house, and our warriors and omegas


    live there.


    The first floor has a living room for pack events, dining hallrge enough to seat nearly 300 individuals,


    a huge kitchen that runs nearly non-stop every day, offices and conference rooms. In the back yard


    there is arge pool for rxing and behind that is an area for training. Beyond that, you get into the


    forest and the mountain range. The pack lies on 100 acres ofnd, mostly in the mountains, so our


    wolves can get lots of exercise and have room to run.


    We drop our things in our room. “Feel free to make this room yours. Obviously, it’s only been me since I


    became Alpha, and I want it to feel like home for you too.” I tell her.


    She doesn’t say anything, just continues to a*s*sess. When she’s done, she turns back to me.


    “Can you show me the rest of the packhouse?” She asks.


    I take her through the levels, exining everything to her and answering any questions she has as we


    go.


    When we’re standing in the front entry way again, she turns to me. “Well, it could use a woman’s


    touch.” She says, hands on her hips.


    I huge smile spreads across my face. “I was hoping you’d say that. After seeing what you have in


    Seth’s pack, I think our pack would respond well to something simr.”


    “You’re giving me free rein?” She asks, raising an eyebrow.


    “Absolutely. Put your mark on it, make it yours and make it homey for our pack.” I tell her, watching her


    closely.


    She does a full turn, looking around the space again before nodding. “I think my mother needs to spend


    a week here, helping me make some changes.”


    I shrug. “Whatever you want, love. I’m sure Ste would want to help, too.”


    She throws herself into my arms, kissing me again. When she pulls back, she runs her fingers through


    my hair. “Man, did I hit the jackpot with you.”


    I lean down, kissing her nose. “That feeling is definitely mutual. Now, let’s start nning a Luna


    ceremony. We only have one day.”


    Jara calls her mother, telling her she’d like her to stay and help her bring ‘warmth’ to the packhouse.


    Her word, not mine. I could hear her mother squealing through the phone. Then Jara went to the


    kitchens to see what food we had. When she returned, she gives me a look.


    “What?”


    “Who’s been running that kitchen?”


    “Joe, maybe Ste, I guess.”


    “Can you mind link Ste to meet me in the kitchen then, please.”


    “Sure.” I do and return to ns for getting a stage set up, music and an after party.


    After seeing Seth’s pack’s excitement, I want to make this a grand event, one that everyone in the pack


    will remember the rest of their lives. It’s a true reason to celebrate.


    That night, we fall into bed exhausted. The next morning, we’re up early, getting things set up. When


    Jara’s parents, Seth and Hana arrive, I felt like my pack was going to go into meltdown having three


    strong females in our packhouse. It’s something we’ve never had before, and it only adds to the


    already festive mood that is starting to build.


    We put her parents in a room on our floor, knowing they’d be staying for a while and Seth and Hana on


    Elijah’s floor. As soon as they are settled, Hana and Jara’s mother, Nina, go into decorating mode.


    Apparently, what I thought was eptable for a Luna ceremony wasn’t close to what they thought


    would be appropriate.


    Later that afternoon, I’m getting ready, putting on one of several suits that I own. Jara told me she was


    wearing a ck dress with white beaded design around the waist, so I’m going with a ck suit and


    white button-down shirt to match her. When I step out of our walk-in closet, I stop, looking at the most


    beautiful woman in the world.


    She turns, looking at me as she puts herrge hoop earring in her ears.


    “What?” She says, frowning at me.


    “You, my Luna, take my breath away.”


    She walks into my arms, her heels making her much closer to my height and puts her arms around my


    neck. “After tonight, there’s no going back.”


    “There was no going back the moment I sank my canines into your neck, my love. You’re mine, and I’m


    yours and that’s all there is to it.”


    She gives me a quick peck on the lips. “Don’t try giving me a real kiss, I’ll just have to reapply my


    lipstick and you’ll have to clean it off your lips.”


    “It might be worth it.” I say, running my nose over the side of her throat, smelling her sweet cream


    scent.


    She lifts her neck, giving me, full ess and I go hard as a rock. I slide my tongue up the front of her


    throat. “How much time do we have?” I ask.


    “Not enough.” She says breathily, still not pulling away from me.


    “Later then, when I can hear every thought you’re having, we’ll start right here.” I say, gently nipping her


    throat.


    “I can’t wait.” She says before lowering her head and looking at me, her pupils dark with desire.


    Her dress is a one-shoulder dress, so rather than kissing her luscious lips, I reach down and kiss her


    bare shoulder.


    “Soon.” I say, before pulling away.


    “Not soon enough.” She says before turning, leaving the scent of sweet cream and nutmeg lingering in


    the air. I love that our room already smells like her.


    I walk her downstairs, then leave her at the back door of the packhouse as I move to the stage. I have


    to admit, Hana and Nina did an amazing job of decorating. There are twinkling lights, flowers and other


    decorations that definitely add a warmth to the event.


    When I walk on stage, I see that every member of our pack is here in attendance. I’ve even given the


    patrols an hour oft’ to be here. They are standing around the audience and the stage as guards, but I


    wanted everyone to be here for this special asion.


    When Jara begins walking down the center aisle, toward the stage, I can’t take my eyes off of her. It’s


    surreal to know that this amazing woman is mine and in just a few moments, she’ll officially be a


    member of my pack.


    When she climbs onto the stage, I take her hand.


    “Ready?”


    “Ready.” She says confidently.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
