The picture is of Jasmine's dress for her ceremony (I don't own the picture).

My words hung in the air as Parker was cut off guard. A rush of feelings stirred within me as my words of acceptance were spoken. The mate bond was slowly coming back together, all that was left was to complete the mating and the bond would be fixed.

Parker's head snapped towards mine. He opened and closed his mouth a few times. No words came out of his mouth. His eyes were dark with lust and many other emotions.

In one swift move, he had my back pinned to the couch. "Thank God, I thought I was gonna have to try harder. There is no way that I would've let you get away," he whispered before roughly pressing his lips to mine.

The girls and I all sat around the living room. Parker left at least an hour ago, I didn't hear him leave but he probably did leave.

"So you accepted the bond?" Riley asked making sure she heard me correctly. The smile on my face answered her question.

"Finally! I thought I was going to have to lock you two in a room and keep you there until you both got along. I wan't a niece or nephew, maybe both. Besides, you two are perfect for each other. He needs someone like you in his life," Peyton piped up from her spot laying upside down off the couch.

I rolled my eyes but laughed at her, nonetheless. The girls started questioning me things like: "What made you change your mind?" or "Is he a good kisser?" I answered each truthfully.

"When are you going to mark him?" Kenny blurted out. I was caught off guard by her question. I could feel my cheeks heat up.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know, soon. Maybe this week." The scent of my filled my nose and I stiffened. My head snapped up until my eyes connected with his. A small smirk played on his face as his eyes turned dark with lust.

Shit. Had he heard our conversation? By the look on his face, I knew he had.

The girls froze when they noticed his presence and hushed down. They glanced at me before back at him.

"Hey, brother. We were just talking about you," Peyton spoke, emphasizing her words.

"Oh?" His gaze on me didn't falter.

"Damn, you look like you want to eat her out. We should probably leave. I really don't want to see my brother and his mate getting it on," Peyton commented while standing up.

Her words caused Parker to look away and shoot a glare towards her. The other girls mimicked her actions by getting up.

"What? No! Don't leave," I pleaded while frowning at them. The girls just winked at 1me before leaving Parker and I alone. He leaned against the frame of the living room, his eyes still on me and a smirk playing on his lips.

"So you were talking about me?" He asked while crossing his arms over his chest.

I scoffed. "No, of course not," I lied. By the non-faltering smirk on his face, I knew that he knew I was lying. My heart beat quickened as he took steps toward me, a predatory glint in his eyes. The urge to touch him grew more than before because I had accepted the bond. My fingers itched to feel his muscles bulging through his tight fitting shirt. There was wonders I wanted to do and images filled my mind as I watched him approach me.

"What?" I asked as my eyes stayed locked on his, which were swirling with emotions that had my stomach fluttering.

He just shook his head. When he reached me, he took a seat on the couch next to me. Heat radiated off of his body and his arm lightly brushed mine, making me shiver.

A few moments passed and it was filled in silence before Parker's voice broke it. "Thank you," he said quietly. My eyebrows knitted in confusion.

"For what?" I asked.

He gave me a small smile. One that had my insides warming. "For accepting me, and I promise that you won't regret it," he assured me, placing his hand on my bare thigh. His large hand sent tingles on my skin. My eyes darted down to his hand before flickering back up to his face. His thumb began drawing circles against my thumb and my wolf started going crazy.

'Touch him or kiss him. Do something!' she pleaded. I could tell she wanted to be close to my mate and I hated to admit that I wanted to, too.

I allowed my fingers to trail up Parker's arm slowly. His eyes darkened as they watched the action of my fingers. His thumb stopped tracing patterns and I could hear his heart beat quicken. I felt a smirk grow on my face as I allowed my fingers to movie higher up his arm before reaching his shoulder.

"You're welcome," I spoke, "I realized how much I actually needed you and that you actually care for me. I had to face my fear of commitment and there is no denying that we want each other, that I want you."

Parker growled, his eyes growing darker with lust as I scooted closer to him and moved onto his lap. His hands moved to cupping my ass, and pulled me closer to him.

"You don't know how much I want you right now," he said darkly as he squeezed my ass. My hand found its way to his hair and I pulled his head back. I knew my eyes were just as dark as his as I stared into his eyes. His wolf was obviously surfacing.

"I think I do," I pointed out as I playfully rolled my hips make us rub right where we needed to. He let out a strained groan as I smirked.

"Just kiss me already, you tease," he groaned. I leaned forward just enough so my lips barely brushed his.

"Nah, I'm good. I think I'm in the mood for a snack, like a banana or something," I whispered teasingly and made a move to climb off his lap. His grip on me tightened, making sure I wasn't going anywhere. He pressed his lips to mine forcefully. His lips moved against mine quickly as his fingers slightly moved under my shirt. Our lips molded perfectly together. My hands gripped to his hair and roughly pulled the ends, making him give a throaty growl. He lightly tugged on my bottom lip with his teeth, which made me feel weak in the knees. I was thankful that I wasn't standing or else that would be embarrassing. I did release and embarrassing noise, though. Parker, however, enjoyed how he was making me feel. My hands moved down to his back and gripped the material of his shirt tightly. We both pulled away slightly to get air. Our breaths mingled together.

"I still want my banana," I whispered breathlessly as his lips moved to the base of my neck. He moved my hair away and kept it in one hand as the other was still groping my ass. His lips gently sucked on the skin, not enough to hurt, but enough to feel good. He made his way up the side of my neck until he reached my jaw. My eyes closed, relishing the feeling of his touch, and quiet moans escaped my lips. His mouth found its way to my ear.

"That can wait," he whispered huskily into my ear before gently sucking on my earlobe. A strangled breath left my mouth as my head tipped back. "Does it feel good?" His voice was barely above a whisper and had gone a few octaves lower. I nodded my head instead of responding.

Our moment was short-lived when we heard a voice.

"Well that escalated quickly," the voice said, one that sounded much like Peyton's.

Parker and I both pulled away quickly and our heads snapped to the source. Peyton stood their with a smug look, along with the other girls standing next to her with smirks on their faces. I felt my cheeks heat up as I struggled to get off of Parker's lap. He quickly placed a pillow over his lap, probably to cover up his friend.

The girls started laughing and mocking us.

"I'm in the mood for a snack, like a banana or something!" Riley raised her voice, pretending to be me. She emphasized the last part making it sound like I was hinting at something. Actually, I kind of was but in a joking way.

Winter then dropped her voice, "Does it feel good?" The girls continued to laugh while I looked down, completely and utterly embarrassed. Parker, however, was smirking at me as if we didn't get cockblocked.

"Guys, stop," I sighed as they continued to imitate us and wrapped their arms around themselves, pretending to be kissing someone.

"Ok," Peyton said between laughs. Once she collected herself she walked over to the couch and picked up a phone. "I forgot my phone," she told me innocently. I narrowed my eyes at her. She did that purposely.

Parker stood up from his position on the couch. "I've got some pack stuff to do. Also, we need to start planning your ceremony of becoming the Luna of the pack. I'm thinking of doing it on Saturday night. That gives us three days to plan."

I nodded my head. We all watched silently as he left the room. Peyton called out to him. "Make sure to buy some condoms while you're out!"

I didn't think I could've been more embarrassed.

The days passed by in a breeze. The ceremony was already planned and organized. It was taking place inside the town hall because it was supposedly going to snow that day. There was going to be a party after inside the gym where there will be music and food. The girls helped me pick out a gown, much to my dismay. I requested a shorter dress, but apparently 'it wasn't part of the tradition. The dress is pretty simple but beautiful. Honestly, I was pretty happy with it.

The pack was busy getting ready for the ceremony. Everyone wanted to be on their best behavior. I was pretty nervous. Actually that's an understatement, I was extremely nervous. Tonight was also the night I was planning on marking Parker. He didn't know about it though. So the ceremony wasn't the only thing I was worried about.

I stared at myself in the mirror with my dress on. My hair was its natural straightness and cascaded down my back. I had light make up on, just a natural lipstick, mascara, and winged eyeliner.

I exited my bathroom and into my room. My eyebrows furrowed when I noticed a rose laying on my nightstand. That wasn't what caught me off guard. What caught me off guard was that the rose was black and there was a note attached to it.

I picked up the note and read it.

Soon you'll be mine, my darling. Soon.

I shivered as I read the note. I already had a feeling who it was and it definitely wasn't Parker. It was creepy because someone was in my room while I was here, too, and I didn't even notice. There was no scent that someone had been in here, so they must've hidden there scent. Only a certain potion crafted by a witch can hide scents.

"Hurry up, Jamie!" Winter called from outside my room.

"Ok! Hold on, I'm almost done," I called back to her. I sat the rose back down, deciding to show it to Parker later.

I exited my room and went downstairs. The other girls were already at the Town Hall except Winter.

I frowned when I noticed that Winter's dress ended at her knees. "How come you don't have to wear a gown?"

She laughed. "Because I'm not the one becoming Luna," she retorted. Her eyes then skimmed my dress. "You look beautiful, Jamie! Parker's going to have a hard time keeping his eyes off you. Let's also not forget to mention all of the other unmated males."

I grinned at her. "Thank you. Zander is also going to have a hard time keeping his hands off you. I know how your night is going to end," I pointed out and winked at her. Her cheeks flushed but she laughed anyways.

"You know it." She glanced at the clock on the wall. "We better start going, don't want you to be late for your own ceremony."

We left the house and drove to the Town Hall. Snow blanketed the trees and covered the ground. The moon shone brightly through the tees and made the snow glisten.

"It's so beautiful," I commented while staring out the window, watching the trees move past us.

"Yeah. I love Winter, not just because that's my name, but because it's always so beautiful when it snows," Winter said from the driver's seat.

We reached the Town Hall and people were walking in and cars lined the sidewalk. I became more nervous as I got out of the car.

Holy shit, I'm going to be a Luna.

And not just a Luna, but the Luna for the Lunar Shadow pack. I bet if someone told me this a couple months ago, I would've laughed in their face.

Zander and Jonas stood at the entrance of the building, waiting for Winter and I to arrive. Zander took Winter's hand and led her inside. Jonas gestured me to follow.

"Alpha is inside, waiting for you," he told me. I smiled and thanked him. He followed me inside. Everyone was going into the main room which was decorated with flowers and candles. The moonlight shone through the windows, giving more light.

I followed the scent of my mate until I noticed him talking to a few elders of the pack. He must've smelled me because he turned to me. He said something to them before walking towards me.

"You look beautiful," he complemented me as his eyes roamed my body. They became dark just for a moment before returning to their normal color.

"You look good, too," I responded. He was wearing a black suit and tie with a white button up shirt underneath. His hair was tamed but still looked sexy. Damn, my mate always looked good.

I didn't know it was possible for someone to look good no matter what. He probably could be looking like he got out of a garbage can, covered in dirt and mud and still look good. I was definitely jealous.

He offered me his hand and I gladly took it. His warm hand enveloped my own as he pulled me to the front of the room. I took a seat in the front row as Parked went up to the stage and began speaking.
