Ch. 6 New Luna

Alcina had been trying for almost a month. Everything at the Red Dawn pack seemed to be falling into place. The kids, Isabelle, Tyler, and Bentley seemed to enjoy her presence. Every night after dinner they watch a movie and the kids constantly want her attention. When she wasn't with the kids she was training. She had even met two other she-wolves, Fae and Mackenzie.

"Luna? Alpha wants you." Isabelle said coming into the gym. She was dressed in her red and gold uniform for school still. Alcina blew hair from her face and removed the gloves. Isabelle walked her to Xavier's office and went to her room. Alcina knocked and waited for a reply.

"Come in." Xavier's voice came from behind the door. Alcina pushed the door open and walked in. Xavier sat behind his desk and didn't look up until Alcina scent hit his nose. His nose twitched and he looked up smiling. Standing up he walked to Alcina. She took the chance to look him over. He wore black jeans and a black button down shirt that accentuated his arm muscles.

Over the last month the mate bond has grown slowly. She noticed herself checking Xavier out and wishing for his presence. The growth of the bond matched Alcina's desire to complete the bond. She held back simply out of fear of the mark. She had read what the mark consist of and the fear crept in without warning. Alcina pushed her fear to the bottom of her stomach and summoned all the courage she had.

"I want to complete the mark tonight." She said looking up at him. The shock was evident all over his face before he cleared his throat and his face went blank.

"Are you sure?" Xavier asked moving a piece of hair from her face. He wanted to give her the world and anything in it that she may want. He longed to see her smile the way she smiled at the kids. So happy and full of life. She took pride in those kids and everything they did. It made his heart heavy with joy by how much she loved them already.

Alcina nodded and wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his chest. She took in a deep breath and her body relaxed. Taking in his scent and warmth she began to feel any negative emotion fade away. Being in his presence made her feel whole. He was literally the other half of her soul.

"If you're absolutely sure, then that's what we'll do. Now, I want you to take this card and go shopping. Anything you want, it's yours." He said pulling away and kissing her forehead. Alcina stood there for a moment in deep thought before standing on her tip toes and kissing Xavier's mouth. For a second he froze before returning the kiss. For a moment the world faded away and there wasn't a soul in the house but each other. That was until a knock at the door interrupted them.

"Alpha, we need you." John said stepping into the office. He ignored the scene he has just walked into which meant it was urgent.  Xavier kissed Alcina's head again and walked away to tend to the pack. Alcina stood there and delicately touched her lips. She could still feel the electricity from him. Walking out of the office she went to her room to shower and get ready. An hour later Alcina, Isabelle, Fae, and a warrior name Mackenzie were headed to the mall forty five minutes away from the pack house.

"Alcina, how are we paying for all this?" Isabelle asked and Alcina turned in the front passenger seat to look at her. Fae drove while Isabelle sat behind her and Mackenzie sat behind Alcina.

"With this. X said anything we want." Alcina flashes the gold American express with a smile.

"He's gonna spoil you." Isabelle let out a girlish giggle. Once they arrived they immediately went to the first dress shop they could find. Alcina found one she liked but it didn't seem fitting for a ceremony so she kept looking. Three dress stores later and Alcina feared she may not find a dress. She had to find one but it had to be perfect. Alcina wanted to show her pride for the pack with her dress. Pack colors are red and gold, and not many dresses came in those two colors. After a couple of hours and a few more dress and clothing shops they started to feel hungry and decided to go get food.

"Oh my God! Guys, please can we eat here? I've been dying to try it." Isabelle begged in front of a rather expensive looking Italian place. She turned to Alcina and gave her puppy dog eyes.

"Fine. If he asks, you picked it." Alcina said biting her lip nervously. Isabelle squealed and ran inside. The others followed her and waited to be seated. Once they had eaten they were back on their mission. . After looking at four more store Alcina feared she may never find the perfect dress.

"Wait. There! That's my dress." Alcina said point to a dress on display.

"You're absolutely sure that's the one you want?" Makenzie asked. Alcina nodded and ran inside. The shop keeper allowed her to try it on and when she stepped out of the dressing room, her face said it all. She was in love with the dress. Isabelle grabbed the tag and made a face.

"If he asks, you picked it." She smiled. Alcina chewed on her lip before saying.

"This is the dress." She smiled and went back to the dressing room. Once she was done they stopped at a few more stores including Victoria's secret and went home.

Once they arrived Fae and Makenzie went back to their post and Alcina and Isabelle went to their rooms to study. Alcina had two days before she had to be familiar with all pack laws. She was to be Luna after all.
