There was a howl in the night when I exited the packhouse.

Our mate is calling for us. Winston stirred in me. Let me take us to our mate. The hairs on the back of my neck rose from the sound.

I shifted into my wolf form, my clothes shredded, the pieces littering on the packhouse's parking lot. Winston navigated us in the direction of the howl. Another howl pierced through the night, stopping us in our tracks, Winston sat on our hind legs, lifting his head up before howling in response to the mating call. The sound was like a Siren calling out to the ships that passed them by on the seas, almost putting us in a trance.

Winston continued on the path to our mate, it was as if there was a bungee cord pulling us in the direction of our mate. Weaving through the thick forest, cutting through to get to our mate quicker. Hearing the howl once more, getting close to where our mate was. We responded once more while running in the direction, excitement bubbling in our stomach. I couldn't wait to be united with my mate.

We burst into the backyard of the Alpha's house, yipping in happiness. Dimitri sat in the center of the yard, his head was tilted upwards as if he were going to let out another howl, we let out a playful growl pouncing on him, knocking him over into the grass. His overwhelming musk of whiskey and oak hit our nostrils harder than it had the day before. Our body tingled for our Alpha.

Mate. Winston yipped happily, digging our muzzle into his neck.

Shift back, little one. Alexandre linked to me, his voice was soft and sweet. I did as he asked, still on top of him, straddling his sides. He shifted, now holding onto my hips, his touch burning my skin with need.

I let out a giggle. "Well, it looks like our wolves weren't wrong." I look down at him with half-lidded eyes.

"I suppose so." He genuinely smiled, rubbing his thumbs in circles. I let out a small enough moan to where only he could hear it. "I Alpha Alexandre Reid accept you, August Hael as my mate and my Luna."

"I August Hael accept you, Alexandre Reid, as my mate and as my Alpha," I said breathlessly. He reached up, cradling my chin in his palm.

"I love you." He sat up, making me fall into his lap.

"I love you," I responded, wrapping my arms around his neck. He placed his lips on mine, and it brought me into a different dimension. It was completely different from any other kiss we had shared, just as much as his touch was.

Our innocent kiss had heated; my body had begun to move on its own, responding upon its instincts. I rolled my hips, grinding down on Alexandre's hard member.

"Oh, whoa, whoa, keep it PG-13." Someone broke the spell on Alexandre and me.

The Alpha growled at whoever interrupted us. I pulled my lips from Alexandre's, turning my head staring at the intruder to our moment. Alexandre's brother, Logan, holding two folded items.

"Oh shut up, dad wants you two in his office, they saw that you guys have acquainted yourselves." He coughed, looking away from the two of us. Holding out the folded items for us to grab.

"Whatever, get out of here, mutt." Alexandre's gruff voice responded, sitting up, adjusting me with him. He snatched the fabric from his brother's hands, shooing Logan away.

"He's in his office," Logan said before walking away from the two of us. I then took in my surroundings, realizing that Alexandre's party had been abandoned by the visitors, only their trash remained as evidence of the party. I looked up at the house's second floor; clearly, his parents were in the office looking down upon us.

I buried my head in the crook of Alexandre's neck, embarrassed. Alexandre ignored our onlookers draping the fabric that had been given to us over my shoulders. "Let's get this over with so we can complete our mating ritual." He whispered in my ear, nipping at my lobe, my body responded, wanting more.

We got to our feet, situating ourselves into the robes that had been given to us. The grip Alexandre had on my hand only tightened as if he could sense my nerves, pulling my focus. We approached the office, barging in the door. Luna Graciella was sitting on top of the desk sitting in front of the now-former Alpha. He had his arms tightly wrapped around her, his nose dug into her neck just as Alexandre had done to me. He glanced up at us, noticing our presence. He pulled from his mate, clearing his throat.

"Congratulations." He started. "As you know, August, Alexandre was given the Alpha title this morning. We worked this out differently than normal, so the elders didn't control his mating. Normally the power is given to the upcoming Alpha at their mating ceremony in this pack. But, there is a feeling that the elders won't be too happy hearing about your mating to him. They had a big hand that I too played at, to him courting Onyx." He leaned up against the window that he and his mate had been watching Alexandre and I from. "Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Alpha's from other packs coming to challenge the position of this pack at the next full moon ceremony. It's expected because of our ranking as a pack. Others will challenge him because of your mating. I trust Alexandre's training for himself has been enough to withstand anyone who challenges him. As long as you continue your training, you'll probably prevail as well." I couldn't see Luna Graciella's face, but I could tell she was giving her mate a soft look by how she cupped his face softly.

"We'll be prepared." Alexandre wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

"I know." Alpha Kent explained. "That also brings up, we need to plan your mating ceremony."

"I want a private ceremony. I don't want everyone to witness it. I know there will be several objections to our mating." I nodded in agreement with what my mate had said.

"Agree, I'm also not trying to rush it, but it needs to be done before next month, mid-February is the Alpha Summit in Germany." I looked over to Alexandre, questioning him what the Alpha Summit was.

Later. Alexandre linked to me answering my obvious question.

"That's fine, is there any way we could cancel my parents from traveling for the next few weeks?" I finally spoke up. "I just want my dad to walk to me down the aisle and my mom to help me do the pre-ceremony preparations."

"You're going to be the Luna babe, what has been said is already done. We can find someone else to take care of their agreements that have been lined up." Alexandre pressed his lips on top of my head.

"I'll have to be there for your preparations since Luna's pre-ceremony preparations are different." Alexandre's mother explained now on her feet facing us. "We'll begin preparations tomorrow, we'll only have 8 days until the end of the month. Don't keep him up too late, do you hear me, Alexandre?" His mom winked.

"Alright, if that's all you wanted, I'll be taking off with my mate now." His parents nodded, letting him pull me from the office.

---

Alexandre picked me up halfway to his room, making me securely wrap my legs around his waist, tightly clutching my arms around his neck. He heatedly began kissing me, biting my bottom lip to gain access to my mouth, eagerly complying, letting him dominate the kiss.

I hadn't realized that we were now inside his room until he threw me down on his plush bed. I let out a gasp of surprise, giggling at his rough handling. Alexandre stood at the edge of the bed, gazing down at me. He quickly untied my robe, exposing me.

"So beautiful." His voice husky, his eyes flickering from gold to blue. "Mine." He growled, roughly grabbing my hips, pulling me to him.

"Your's," I mewled out, I could feel my slick running down my backside. Alexandre dove down, attaching his lips to mine once more, this time filled with hunger. I wanted to be closer to him. I wanted to feel the pleasure I had felt last night, with the feelings intensified, it would be more tonight. Nothing stopped us from mating this evening, tonight we became united.

He pulled his lips from mine, peppering kisses on my face, making me giggle. His gaze met mine once more, this time, adoration held in his eyes. The roughness he had been showing quickly diminished, as if he wanted to savor this moment, to appreciate my body. Calloused hands rubbed up against my sides, a shiver ran down my spine, tingling from his touch. He dipped his head down once more, this time taking my lobe between his teeth. I could feel my cock become unbearably hard at Alexandre's actions.

He grabbed my length in one of his hands, stroking it, while the other started to rub my puckered entrance. I let out a moan of pleasure, closing my eyes. He pressed one of his fingers inside of me. I let out a small cry of pain due to our adventures yesterday.

"Are you okay, baby?" He gently asked, his breath tickled my ear, making me gasp. He had no idea what he was doing to my body right now. Even with the pain from yesterday, my body seemed accustomed to him.

"Yes, I'm still kind of sore from yesterday." I sighed, getting used to the digit that intruded my insides.

"I promise you it'll feel better after a little while." Alexandre moved his finger inside of me. After a while, he snuck in another finger, making me clench down on them. "Oh fuck, you're tight, baby." He grunted out.

He removed the hand that stroked my cock, and began to play with the sensitive nubs on my chest. My body tingled from the sensation, sending shock waves down to my lower regions. He gently bit down on one while tweaking the other between his fingers. I writhed underneath him, trying to get comfortable with his fingers deep inside me when he entered the third digit.

I bit down on my bottom lip when a hot feeling had bubbled in my stomach, I knew that my orgasm was on the horizon. "Fuck, Alexandre." I whimpered out in pleasure. "I'm gonna cum." I announced to him, I could feel him smirk. He dug his fingers deeper inside me, making me scream out when I released over both of our chests. He pulled his soaking fingers out of me, making me whine from the loss of him.

"Mmm," He smashed his lips to mine. I wrapped my legs around his waist, pulling him closer to me. His cock throbbed against my stomach in want. I flipped us around, shrugging the robe off of me. I was now hovering right above him. I could feel the heat radiating from his body, I slid down till I was facing his throbbing member. I hungrily sucked on the head, making him grunt out. I slowly began taking more inside of my mouth until I could take no more. He was just too much for me. I bobbed my head, quickly becoming more and more aroused by the act I was committing.

Alexandre laced his fingers in my hair and began thrusting upwards, hitting the back of my throat. I slapped at his legs to let me pull away to take a breath, he only let me pull up enough to take one big gulp of air before thrusting himself back into my mouth. I wrapped my hand around his member's base, working my hand up and down the length.

"Fuck, August." The Alpha grunted out, pulling my head away from his cock. It twitched in anticipation for me, my breathing became heavy. I wanted to be whole with him once more. I climbed up, once again hovering over his length. I couldn't wait any longer.

I reached back, grabbing onto his cock, rubbing it against my entrance. My hole throbbed, wanting the same feeling as yesterday. I slowly lowered my hips down, gently getting used to the invasion of his cock once again.

This time it felt different, I don't know if it was our mating bond or because there was no condom in the way this time, but it felt a million times better. He was inside me, I sat there for a moment, letting myself get adjusted to him. On his elbow, he leaned up, grabbing my face with his free hand in a calming manner. "Mmm, little one, you feel so much better." Alexandre's voice came out strained. I could tell he was holding himself back from ravishing my body.

I placed my hands on his chest, rubbing his pecs gently. "I thought it was just me," I whispered, I moved my hips a little to see if the stinging sensation was still there. It was, but it wasn't as bad as it had been before the Alpha had prepped me.

I slowly began to gyrate my hips, recoiling my hips meeting his as I did so. When I had adjusted entirely to him, I bounced on top of him like a rabbit in heat. He began to meet me halfway, slamming upwards into my throbbing cavern. Alexandre flipped me over, keeping himself inside of me as he did so. He pinched one of my sensitive nubs between his fingers again, making the hot boiling feel come back.

I could feel Alexandre's thrusts begin to fluctuate, no longer remaining the same even steady pace he had the entire time. "Fuck August, I'm gonna cum." He grunted out, continuing his powerful thrusts inside of me. He then hit my spot that sent me reeling back in pleasure.

I screamed out, cumming on chests once again, this time Alexandre sunk his wolves teeth into the crook of my neck. Making my vocal cords strain from the pleasure I had felt. I felt Alexandre's knot begin to form as he had come, my wolves teeth had elongated as well, I tried to tame the pleasure I had felt to complete our mating ritual. I sunk my teeth into Alexandre's golden skin.

It was a whirlwind of emotions I had felt when I had done that. I could feel our wolves entwining, our bond turning into a platinum thread that could not snap even with the highest of heat barreling down on it.

We had finally become one.
