Blessed Luna Rising - Chapter 12: Chapter 12

Killian’s POV
Before I open my eyes I’m engulfed in the vanilla and black raspberries. I open my eyes and see her curly red hair tucked between our bodies. I smiled and kissed the back of her head as I gave her a squeeze.
“Good morning” she said groggily and my smile widened. I don’t even think her eyes were open but she spoke to me first today.
“Good morning, love.” I say in return. I start to pull my arm from around her and she grabs my hand and pulls it back. My heart is pounding with excitement as I lay down and snuggle her.
She turns so she’s facing me and my breath catches in my throat. Those beautiful green eyes are like the most vibrant forest and I wouldn’t mind being lost in it forever. I bring my hand up and caress the side of her face and the sparks send goosebumps over my whole body.
“Did you sleep well?” I ask absentmindedly. She nods as she leans into my touch and Remus is purring like a lovesick puppy in my mind.
“Can we spend the day in bed talking since you fell asleep last night?” she says to me looking hopeful. I nod with a smile but inside it feels like my heart is going to burst right out of my chest with excitement. I mindlinked Ms. Shirley and let her know that all of our meals needed to be delivered to the room today.
“First things first, is there anymore allergies that I should be aware of?” I say so that I can let Ms. Shirley know. She shakes her head no and then starts wiggling to get out of my arms.
“Excuse me. Where do you think you’re going?” I say as I bury my face into her neck. She lets out a giggle and I move my face back in forth against her neck making her laugh out loud.
“Killian! That tickles! I have to pee!” she giggles as she tries to push me off of her. I smile as I let her go and she runs to the bathroom slamming the door behind her. She popped her head out for a microsecond to apologize for slamming the door before shutting it again.
I pull my phone out and see a text from Serenity asking when we are going shopping. Shit. I totally forgot. We really should go get her some things. About 30 minutes later she comes out showered and dressed in some loungewear my sisters left. The pants are too long for her but I just can’t help but smile.
“Hey beautiful. My sisters are asking about shopping today. How about we spend the day getting you your own things and then the evening in here talking? I promise I won’t fall asleep on you this time.” I say and she giggles and nods so I text Serenity and Deidre to let them know we will leave after breakfast.
As if on cue, Freya is knocking on the door to deliver our breakfast. I place the plates on the table as Tara walks to the door to grab the orange juice.
“I don’t mean to be a pain but do you have any chocolate milk? I’m kind of craving it. I haven’t had it in years.” she says to Freya.
“Yes, Luna. YOU do have chocolate milk in the kitchen. I’ll bring it right up.” Freya responds. As she turns to walk away, I close the door and lead Tara to our table.
“French toast with maple syrup, 6 pieces of bacon, 3 scrambled eggs, crispy hash browns, and a banana. Ms. Shirley just made us both the same thing. I hope that’s okay.” I say as I pull out her chair and push her up to the table. When I sit down I see a small smile on her face and tears forming in her eyes.
“Baby, what’s wrong?” I say panicking. She chuckles to herself and wipes her eyes.
“Nothing is wrong. I haven’t had a breakfast like this in 10 years. I’m just grateful and happy. Now let’s dig in.” she says and much to my surprise she is able to eat all of her food. I’ll kill Arthur for starving her the way he did. Remus growls in agreement at the thought of it.
“I’m gonna go get ready now. I’ll be out shortly.” I say with a smile and I kiss the top of her head. She is warming up to me so much quicker than I anticipated she would. Maybe I stand a chance to show her love the right way.
Tara’ POV
Killian is in the shower and I’m sitting on the couch slowly recovering from the food coma I tried to put myself in. I’m feeling a bit more comfortable with him today. I feel safe with him and I wonder if he knows he told me he loved me last night. My thought are interrupted by a knock at the door. I walk to the door and there is Freya with my chocolate milk.
“I’m so sorry it took so long, Luna. One of the kitchen Omegas cut herself pretty badly and I had to help out.” she says apologetically.
“Oh my. Is she okay? It’s no problem at all. I forgot I asked you for this but that food was delicious.” I say sincerely as I take the glass. She reassures me everyone in the kitchen is fine and takes the empty plates from the table with a smile.
As I close the door, Killian is walking out of the closet with no shirt on and I immediately feel my core warming up. I’m feeling a little brave this morning after being in his arms all night so I set my glass down and walk to him. I am so small next to him but he doesn’t seem to mind. I put my hands on his abs and rub my hands up to his chest and as I do, he squats down and picks me up by my behind. Suddenly I’m face to face with him and my heart is racing but I steadily get closer to his face. I want to taste his lips and feel his kiss on me. Before I can make my move his lips capture mine in an explosion of hungry sparks. His hands travel up my back and into my hair. He gently grabs handfuls of my hair and pulls my face into his as his tongue flicks against my lips begging for entrance. A moan escapes unintentionally and I hear him growl in response as I part my lips for him. His tongue is dancing with my own and he gently nibbles my bottom lip. I feel the wetness forming between my legs and I feel his member getting hard. I like what we are doing but I’m not ready to mate so I stop and slide off of him. Tears start forming and I quietly sob.
“Whoa. Hey. What’s wrong?” he says with worry in his tone.
“I liked what we were doing but I got scared about going further and panicked.” I said with tears coming down my face. This is where he rejects me. No Alpha wants a mate they can’t actually mate with when they want to.
“Baby, it’s okay. I’ll never be mad at you for saying no. We will mate when you’re ready and not a moment sooner. Come here.” he says genuinely and pulls me back to him. He wraps me in his arms and squeezes me for a couple minutes before there’s a relentless knock at the door. Serenity and Deidre. I pull back and wipe my face off as he goes to answer the door.
“Are we ready to go SHOPPING?!” Serenity says clearly very excited. Killian rolls his eyes and Deidre follows suit. I laugh and nod my head. As we walk out the door, Killian is holding my left hand and Serenity has her arm linked with my right arm.
“Killian, can we take one of your cars instead of a pack car?” Serenity asks him. He looks at Deidre and she nods with excitement. He looks at me as if asking me what I think.
“What kind of car do you have?” I ask and he chuckles.
“Girl. Killian has like 16 cars in his garage. You get to pick which one we take since you’re the Luna and all.” Serenity smiles with a big smile and Killian laughs. As we are walking down the packhouse stairs, I notice people are smiling and waving but some are not happy. One she-wolf in particular is staring daggers into my soul.
“Do you have a problem, Chelsea?” Deidre says sharply to the girl. She looks Deidre up and down and scoffs.
“Just wondering who the charity case is.” she says and Killian growls loud enough it shakes the walls. I bury my face into his back and feel his hand on my side and Serenity steps in front of me.
“This is my MATE and your future LUNA. If you speak ill of her again, I will banish you from this pack.” Killian says loudly in his Alpha tone. The girl gasps but Killian isn’t done. His body is shaking and he’s angry enough to shift.
“Put your hand on his back.” Lola says in my head. I slide my hand under his shirt and rub his back and I begin to feel the tension ease and the shaking stop.
“If you speak ill to her, speak ill of her, or try to bring harm to her the consequence will be banishment and if it’s bad enough, death. Do I make myself clear?” He says in a calmer Alpha tone. Chelsea nods and we proceed to walk out to the garage.
We finally make it to the garage and my jaw hits the floor. There are 16 beautiful cars lined up and Serenity nudges me to pick one. I look around and then my eye is drawn to a pearl white Nissan GTR.
“The white one over there.” I say and Serenity squeals. I jump and Killian laughs at us as he grabs the keys out of the cabinets.
“Alright ladies, let’s go.” he says and we all walk to the car to go shopping. My first time shopping.
