His Reluctant Luna novel Chapter 109

Alice

As I walked towards the circle to join the pack, our guests, and friends. I couldn't help admiring the decor, the fairy lights and the most tempting smell of roasted meat. Katherine had outdone herself.

The entire circle had been decorated with twinkle lights and colourful roses. There was soft music being played by a live band. It sounded old and enchanting. The guests were all smiling and joking. Lucian joined me soon, and I found myself in his arms. He smiled at me intensely, then kissed me. His tongue ran over my lips and I opened her mouth to let him taste her. My hands danced his shirt buttons, I wished I were back in our room.

"I wish the same, dear," he said, giving a sly smile.

"Maybe later," I winked at him.

"Mate!" A shout broke the magic, and we looked at the commotion.

Eliza was clinging to Max, who looked dazed.

"I found my mate, hi, I am Eliza and I like you." She flushed while talking to Max.

"You like me? But you are so beautiful, you are way out of my league." Max said. Though he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Lucian laughed and said," You can have him, Eliza."

"Thanks, Alpha," Eliza said and turned back towards Max.

"Well, that ended well. " I laughed.

I found Olivia and Zaiden, looking at me from the periphery of the circle. I walked up to them.

"Congratulations, madam Luna," Olivia said.

I smiled and caught her in a hug. Then I stepped back from the hug and looked at her happily.

"I was looking for you. Thank you so much for saving my life. You are truly a gift for the pack."

Olivia smiled broadly at me.

"I can't explain, how blessed I am to become part of this pack." She said.

I shrugged and looked over at Zaiden.

" I want you to take excellent care of her. Never hurt her and always keep her happy. She is special."

Zaiden smiled mischievously. "Of course, your wish is my command." He looked at Olivia with a goofy grin.

"Thank you for giving me back my home."

"This pack will always be your home," I replied.

I joined back Lucian who was talking to Rick, Daniel, and others. There were many congratulations and handshaking and smiling. Part of the generally happy and excited atmosphere had to do with the fact that the night had gone so well. The danger was averted.

Rick hugged me tightly," I can't believe my little sister will be a mom."

"You will be an uncle soon, so better believe it." I laughed.

He broke the hug and looked down at me.

"You will be a wonderful mother, I am sure of it."

I grinned back at him. Katherine was the happiest of all. She had been waiting for Lucian's heir for years.

"I can't wait for the little bub to arrive," she said.

"Well, same here, but the baby will arrive in its time. It's going to be weird having a baby around here in just a couple of months," I said.

"Pups are good for the pack. They strengthen the bonds between the mates." Katherine said.

I had not told about the Prophecy to anyone, I wasn't certain if my baby would have Luna's mark and I wanted to avoid raising any hopes. I could only hope for the best.

Six months later -

Lucian

I woke up around seven. Alice was still asleep. I looked over at her and saw her belly and chest rise and fall as she breathed. I cried because it was such a beautiful sight. It seems like every other night since she started to show, I've looked over at her in awe. Heck, even before she got pregnant, I'd see her beautiful body next to mine and wonder how I got so lucky. Alice stirred, and opened her eyes, while I was still watching.

She turned toward me and said, "Morning, Wolf."
