Chapter Eighteen: Preparations
Diana's POV
I cuddled more into Luca's chest, feeling the warmth of his body touch my skin. It was a lovely sensation. I loved mornings like this, just me and Luca, no one else to bother us. A warm pair of lips touched my forehead, letting me know he was also awake.
"Good morning," I whispered, my face still buried in his chest. He turned to his side, his chest now touching mine as he hovered over me.
"Good morning, Luna." I smiled widely at him and got out of bed. He growled as he watched me walk to the bathroom in only his shirt and a pair of panties. I grabbed my toothbrush and paste, beginning the day with a clean mouth.
Luca came from behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist pulling me closer than usual, I spit out the mouthwash and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, letting out a cool sigh. I moved out of Luca's way, allowing him to get ready for the day.
"I'm going to take a shower," I said in a singing voice as I walked into the shower fully clothed. The sheer shower curtains touched the palm of my hand as I slid it closed.
I slowly took off Luca's shirt, throwing it over the top. I then took off my panties and kept them in my hands. I decided to tease Luca by snaking my arm out and throwing my panties at him, which landed on his shoulder. He stopped brushing and peeked down at his shoulder, lust flooding his eyes.
He moved his head up to me, his darkened green eyes meeting mine. I gave him an innocent smile and blew him a kiss, hiding my whole body back into the shower. I giggled as I heard him growl annoyed.
The squeaking sound of the shower turning on was the only sound left that was heard. The little pellets of water hit my back, relaxing my muscles and making me moan in delight.
"Baby, get ready quick, I want to show you something!" I heard Luca say loudly in the bedroom. What could he possibly want to show me?
Once I finished my shower, I turned off the water and grabbed the towel Luca had left for me on the toilet. How nice of him. The soft Egyptian cloth covered my toffee skin, making me look darker yet have smooth skin. I walked out into the bedroom, ringing my hair out from the excess droplets.
"Luca?" My voice curious, trying to find my mate. I froze when I felt his hot breaths tingle on my neck. I turned my head to the side sucking in a breath. I felt my knees weaken, feeling all wobbly.
"W-what d-d-did you want to s-show me?" I stuttered out with the amount of strength I had left. His chest rumbled as it touched my back, warmer than usual. He twisted me slowly so I was now facing his God's craven body. I slowly averted my eyes down to his body, he was shirtless by the way, before looking back up into the two portals I got lost in.
"I wanted to show you not to mess with me." He whispered raspily before his lips melted into mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck, bringing him closer to me. My towel began falling slightly, yet I didn't seem to mind. I knew it made Luca go crazy, causing me to smirk through the kiss.
We both slowly begun moving back to the bed until my back felt the cold sheets and Luca's warm body on top of mine. He quickly pulled away and observed my body, his eyes shifting completely. I knew Jay was wanting to come out, but Luca was trying to fight it.
"It's okay Luca, let me see him." He hesitated a little before finally letting Jay take over. He connected our lips again, moving faster than Luca. I pulled away immediately and kissed his cheek.
"Not yet," I whispered, knowing exactly what he wanted to do. Jay nodded slowly, getting off of me. I quickly covered my body as the towel was lying completely under me, leaving my top half visible and nude. A small squeal left my body, and I started to get up. Jay helped me up, so we were now in the same position we were in before the whole bed incident.
"Don't cover yourself from me, my Luna." My heart skipped a beat as he called me that, I could tell Jay's voice seemed to be a lot deeper than Luca's. It carried more power.
"Jay, I need to get ready." He gave me a grin, showing off his canines. I giggled with my eyes closed, giving him one more passionate kiss before covering myself with the towel again. I grazed my fingers from his shoulder to his back muscles, making my way towards the walk-in closet.
"Bring Luca back please," I whispered before closing the closet doors. My attention turned to the eternity of clothes hanging in the closet. I grabbed a plain black tank and simple leggings so I was able to do hair and makeup that Mon promised me. The closet doors opened, revealing Luca again.
"What a morning to start things off with." He winked at me. I blushed, rolling my eyes, and dragged him out of the room.
"Come on." Once we made it downstairs, laughter was heard. I swung the kitchen door open to see everyone sitting around the dining table, the mountains of food in the middle. There were two chairs empty on the far right side.
"Good morning Luna! Today is a big day!" Blake yelled happily. He stood up pulling the chairs out for Luca and me.
"We waited for the both of you," Jade added softly. I gave her a sweet smile, taking a seat beside her. Luca rested a hand on my thigh, rubbing it a little.
"Let's eat!" Monica joyed, making me laugh. Plates clinking and chattering filled the kitchen, I started to wonder when everybody started getting along, though I didn't think much of it.
"It has been a great morning," I whispered in Luca's ear, taking a slice of bacon off of his plate. He nodded slowly agreeing.
"Luca-" Daniel started.
"Alpha." Luca snapped.
"Alpha, I just want to apologize on behalf of everyone here. We appreciate everything you have done for us." Luca swallowed his food slowly, glancing at me then back at Daniel.
The chattering started to quiet down, my group started to say 'sorry' and 'forgive us'.
"Don't worry about it," Luca said gruffly, continuing to eat his breakfast. I laid my hand on top of his, my head now resting on his shoulder. An awkward silence consumed the room, my appetite now lost.
"What time is it?" I hummed out lowly to Luca. He shuffled his hand into his jeans pocket, pulling it his phone. I checked his phone, seeing it was still the photo of me that I had taken before I was kidnapped.
"10:45."
"You still have my picture?" He kissed my forehead, lips lingering longer than usual.
"Of course." I wrapped my arms around him, snuggling into his warmth.
"10:45?!? Holy shit! The ceremony starts in an hour!" Monica panicked. She pulled my arm, dragging me away from Luca. She gave Blake a quick peck and stopped at the door, looking at Lena and Jade. She pointed her pointer and middle finger at them.
"You two are coming with us. Blake, take care of the boys, I'm sure you have enough suits." Blake scoffed.
"Why me?" He whined a little. She gave him a stern look causing him to put his hands up in surrender.
"Luca, start getting ready, trust me the sooner the better." Monica directed. I have never seen her like this. And with that, we headed up into Monica's room.
"Wow, this is actually really exciting." Jade cheered. We walked into Mon's room seeing everything laid out neatly. There was no way the four of us would fit in here.
"Monica, there is seriously no room in here. We can't all fit in here."
"I know, I just need help to move everything into YOUR room." I folded my arms, giving her an annoyed look.
"We didn't even discuss this." She gave me an innocent look.
"Well if I asked you, I knew you would say no, too late now..." I sighed, rubbing my face and waved my arm to the door. She clapped loudly grabbing a few things.
"Okay! Everyone needs to grab something! Quick, quick, quick!" She ordered. I had makeup bags and hair dryers in my hands, the wires tripping me as Monica pushed me out of the door. In a few seconds, we made it to my bedroom door. With a struggle I opened the door wide, seeing Luca lying on the bed.
"What in God's name are you doing Luca!" Monica yelled. I gave her a warning look as she yelled at my mate. He quickly sat up from the sudden yelling and saw me. He looked down at what was in my arms and immediately came to help me.
"Diana, why are they in our room?" I felt my arms lighten as Luca took everything out of them. I turned my head to Monica, resting my hands on my hips.
"Mon decided that our room was the best place for us to get ready." I puckered my lips, putting my chocolate eyes back on Luca. He dropped the stuff on our bed and wrapped me in his arms.
"I can't wait to see how you are going to look."
"Well, you aren't going to know how she's going to look if you don't leave Alpha," Monica said impatiently. He let go of me, a lonely feeling washing over my body. I watched him walk to the closet grabbing a suit covered in plastic wraps, preventing me from seeing how it looks.
The creaking door closed, leaving us girls alone.
"Let's get started shall we?" Lena said. The rest of us agree with her.
*****
"Where did you get those!?!" I screeched at Monica as she held two black dresses.
"I may or may not have gone to the mall to buy the girls some dresses." She smirked. I covered my mouth with my hands, pulling her into a tight hug.
"Holy crap! These are gorgeous, this 'Ceremony' is a pretty big thing then!" Lena yelled. Jade bit her lip, eyes squinting.
"You have a pretty good taste." As a graphic designer, that was a huge compliment for Monica.
I looked at the time on the clock hanging on top of Luca and I's bed. We still had a solid 30 minutes until the ceremony started. My arm was suddenly pulled and I was dragged onto a chair in the middle of the room. Jade had a pair of scissors in her hand, making me gulp.
"J-Jade what are you doing with those scissors?" I felt her tug at my hair and cut off a piece.
"I'm going to trim your so it looks neat and straight, now don't move we don't want to mess it up." I felt Jade's baby bump touch my back and pieces of my hair falling onto my lap.
"I wish Hayden was awake. To see me officially become a part of this pack." She stopped snipping my hair for a second before continuing.
"Me too hon."
Lena came in front of me with a bag full of makeup. My eyes widened and I stared at the bag with fear.
"Don't worry Diana, I'm going to make it simple yet effective." I nodded suspiciously and saw her take out some mascara. She peeled my eyelid open, swiping the mascara on my top lid.
"Look up." I did as I was told until she finished my first eye. Onto the next one. As she finished, Lena pulled out a bold dark purple lipstick, smearing it all over my lips. I crossed my eyes, puckering my lips to see the new stain that made my lips look plump.
"Perfect!" Jade squealed, now standing in front of me. I gave her a cheeky smile standing up and jogging towards the bathroom to see my appearance. Monica covered the door, shaking her head.
"Not yet. Put the dress on then you can see." I rolled my eyes and walked to the closet, grabbing the bag the dress was in. I took it out causing Jade and Lena to gasp in awe.
Quickly, I took my shirt and leggings off-putting the silky dress on my soft skin, it clung perfectly, my curves more defined than ever. I put on a pair of dark purple stilettos, matching the dress perfectly.
Finally, I was able to see my appearance. My jaw dropped in amazement as I saw myself for the first time. I was a total babe and I knew Luca would lust over me the moment I see him.
"You are the most pretty thing ever!" Jade said. I pulled her into a hug nestling my head into her shoulder. My eyes began tearing up, yet I didn't want my perfectly new makeup to get messed up.
"Thank you so much, the struggles you and Hayden go through for us is amazing. I hope you decide to stay a little longer after Hayden recovers."
She rubbed my back like a mother would, kissing my cheek.
I pulled away from her grasp and saw what she was wearing. The simple cotton black dress stuck onto her baby belly making her look more pregnant than usual. I must admit, it was an adorable sight to see. I turned my body to the other two and breathed in deeply.
"Let's do this."
