Lina
I turn towards Eve and Sarah, a blush taking over my face at their crazy grins. Clearing my throat, I narrow my eyes at them playfully, "Okay, I'm ready to put my dress on now" Sarah smiles down at me before nodding. Turning back towards the full length mirror, I sigh softly.
The person staring at me is still me, just different, more beautiful and a bit surreal. I have a light dusting of warm brown eye shadow behind my hazel eyes. My lashes are thickened with mascara, making them look more longer than usual. A light blush covers the apples of my cheeks and concealer is used to brighten up underneath my eyes. On my lips is a nice netural colour a few shades lighter than a matte maroon. My face is finished, looking soft, dewy and absolutely flawless.
My long black hair is in a half up, half down up do. My curls are left, as the long tresses glide down my back. I love the look but anxiety eats away at me, my nervousness won't leave me until Kane is here with me.
I close my eyes tightly, taking a deep breath I let my wolf forward, her presence helping calm me some. She purrs comfortingly in my mind, reassuring me Kane will love how I look no matter how differently I may think otherwise.
She shows me memories of Kane nipping at my stomach, thighs and in between, his deep husky voice a growl as he demands for me to never hide myself from him. She shows me another past memory of myself, as I stand in front of the full length mirror my fingers running over the various bite marks Kane had left over the stretch marks that marr across my hips and thighs. She reminds me of the giddy and happy feeling I had felt, the feeling of acceptance.
I feel the insecurities fall away slowly, my shoulders ease slightly at the reassurance. With a smile, I open my eyes and turn, hearing the door open a second after. Kane steps into the room, his eyes falling directly on me.
His eyes darken immediately, his nostrails flaring as he takes me in, wearing his shirt. With a nod, Sarah places the dress wrapped in a cover on to the sofa, her and Eve bow respectfully and leave the room. I stand slowly, my brows crinkling in confusion, "Hey what's wrong?" his hands cup my cheeks softly, "I felt you just then Lina, why were you upset?" his deep voice washes over me with ease.
I shake my head with a smile, "I'm fine Kane, I'm good. Promise" he looks down at me, his eyes searching as he bends down quickly, lifting me by my thighs. I wrap my legs around his waist and pull myself up against him, keeping close as were now eye to eye. "Why were you upset baby? Tell me" I chuckle softly, pressing a kiss against his lips making sure to pull back as he growls lowly from me pulling back quick. I roll my eyes making him slap my ass, hard.
I smirk down at him as he raises a brow, hmm touche. "I just had a little moment is all. It happens, but now that your back, I'm good" I nip his bottom lip, "Great" sucking it into my mouth I smile against his lips. "Grand"
He humms deeply in his throat, his hands run under my shirt holding on to my hips as I continue to kiss him. "I missed you so much" he rasps against my temple as I trail kisses down his neck, making sure to nip at my mark in the process. He throws his head back with a groan, "I missed you too" I whisper. He pulls me back from his neck, his lips seeking my own as he plunders my mouth with his tongue, taking me deeply.
I grip his face in my hands, tightening my thighs against his waist as he grips the cheeks of my ass and hitches me higher. I moan softly, my body tightening as I move against the more than prominent bulge against my lower stomach. He growls lowly before pulling back, his breathing harsh, eyes tightly closed as his hands fist behind my back. I bite my lip to hold in my laugh, if he hadn't pulled back our mating ceremony would have been history, literally.
His amber ringed eyes open, as I finally let a giggle slip through. He smiles down at me, rubbing his thumb against my bottom lip, making my insides melt and then do sommersaults all over again. "Not yet. But soon my love" I hold his hand, thats currently caressing my face. "I know" I murmur turning to press a kiss against his open palm.
He pauses before untangling my legs from around his waist. I slide down his body as my brows crinkle in confusion. He looks up at me with determination, a small husky chuckle makes its way out of his swollen lips.
I lick my own, opening them to ask him what was wrong only for my words to become stuck in my throat as Kane, my Kane, my Alpha male Kane, slides down on to one knee, a small box in his big hand. His eyes finally lift from off the box as he eyes me for a second, his amber ringed eyes shinning brightly, "I don't really care for this, because tonight after our mating ceremony, you'll be mine in every way. But what I do care about is you, your wellbeing and your happiness."
He looks down at his hand and opens the box, "So I'm gonna do this the right way, because you deserve nothing but the best of everthing." He pauses slightly, smiling up at me as tears stream down my face. "My being, my living, my world. It's not complete nowhere near without you Lina. All that shit don't mean a thing to me if you aren't a part of it. So, I'm here to ask you, not as your mate. Not as your Alpha but as your man" he pauses softly a small vulnerable spark within his beautiful eyes. "Will you complete me and agree to marry me?"
I press my hand against my mouth, trying my hardest to hold in a sob. I drop down on to my knees in front of him as I shake my head vigorously. He grins down at me still managing to tower over me even when were both on our knees. Sliding the ring on to my ring finger, I pull his face down to me and kiss him with everything in me.
My heart is literally full, love, joy, happiness, excitement. It's so damn full and that's all because of one man. Long gone is the insecurities I had earlier or the ones I had kept hidden at the back of my mind. He had managed to solidify how much he wanted me.
Kane wanted me, he wanted me, for me and he was willing to be with me forever. Not only as Lina his mate but Lina, his woman.
~*~*~*~
"No Kane! I mean it, you keep messing her lipstick up!" I blush softly as Eve yells at Kane through the door. After our little moment Eve and Sarah came back up with Mrs. Anne to congratulate us only for Eve to throw a huge fit at her so called masterpiece being ruined by the big bad Alpha.
Kane growls lowly, pushing past her one more time. I chuckle as she stomps her foot before walking back out the door. Kane smiles down at me, his eyes brightening as he runs a palm against the side of my face.
He presses a kiss aginst my lips before lifting my left hand, pressing a gentle kiss against my ring. He pulls back with a smile only to groan as Mrs. Anne walks into the room a scowl on her face.
"Kane Sinclair, if you don't move your behind, Lina will have to find someone else to mate with" she yells threateningly. Kane's eyes narrow in warning, making me run a soothing hand against his lower stomach since it's the only thing I can reach from where I'm sitting. Knox, Rux and Kade come in a second after taking their rightful place behind Mrs. Anne.
Kane sighs softly pouting down at me, I hold in the crazy giggle that threatens to spill. Bending down he presses a quick kiss against my lips, "I'll see you soon love" he whispers lingering softly. He takes a step back, before nodding at Mrs. Anne, the guys following him out the door.
Mrs. Anne chuckles loudly as she turns to face me, "Youv'e got that boy hooked" I chuckle softly as she walks over towards me, "I think it's the other way round Mrs. Anne" I reply with a shake of my head. She grins cheekily, "Nonsense! Now, show me the ring."
I can finally say that I'm ready. My makeup has been touched up, my hair is completely done once again, and I have my dress and shoes on as well. My dress is beautiful, if I didn't know any better I would have said Kane had great taste.
The whole top part of the dress is see through, scraps of flowers sewn in lace is strategically placed to cover my breasts and chest. Lace like vines are attached to flowers across my back for straps that wrap around my lower shoulders. The skirt is tightened in at my waist before flowing freely down towards the floor, theres a long slit in the centre of my legs towards mid thigh to complete the beautiful dress.
Eve had white strappy heels to complete the ensemble, but I drew a line towards that. I knew the ceremony was going to take place on pack territory meaning I needed to have comfortable shoes on in order to make it to the actual ceremony.
So I substituted for strappy white sandals, still managing to complete the outfit. Peeking at myself in the full length mirror, I blow out a slow breath, my hands sweating slightly as butterflies overtake my belly. I was slightly nervous but not for the reasons you're thinking. I was nervous because I was going to see and meet Kane's pack in a few hours.
I wipe my hands against the sides of my dress before a small sparkle catches my eye. I lift my left hand in front of my face, my heart melting all over again at the ring that now sits there. The ring itself was gorgeous, Mrs Anne had let me know that it was a family heirloom. In the front and centre is a big diamond, there are more diamonds surrounding the one in the centre creating a sort of square rounded shape.
More diamonds are left surrounding that barrier on all four sides. The ring was probably worth more than my house, car and more. A loud knock brings me out of my thoughts.
"Luna, are you ready?" I look back at my reflection once more before sighing. "Coming." I quickly fasten my necklace, my mother had given me, a cross with diamonds on it. Heading towards the door, I open it quietly to find Mac's hulking figure taking up the space. He smiles softly with a bow, "I'm here to escort you to the ceremony" I nod, moving out as he leads me down the staircase.
Vince meets me at the bottom, his eyes brightening as they catch sight of me. I grin widely, my heart warming as I catch sight of my brother. It feels like years since I've last seen him. He takes my hand as I take the last step towards him. "Te ves tan Hermosa" he says while looking down at me.
I smile brightly, wrapping my arms around his waist. "Glacias Hermano" he pulls back lifting my left hand up while he grins, "You said yes then" I chuckle softly, "Of course Vin, I love him" he nods, pressing a kiss against my ring before straightening.
"I know Mi Pequeño Amor. But you will always be my little sister" I smile as he wipes a tear.
"Always." I whisper.
Turning towards Mac he smiles, "Let's load her up then."
~*~*~*~
I chuckle as Rux opens the door for me. It was a short car ride here to the east side of Kane's territory. But he had refused for them to make me walk. Turning towards Rux I quietly thank him with a smile, wrapping my arm with Vince's I walk towards the small clearing.
The voices of various pack members are heard, making me nervous once more. Vince pats my hand, bending under a thick branch as we come to the clearing where the ceremony will take place.
My eyes catch sight of the clearing itself and I feel my jaw drop instantly. The scene in front of me could only be described as a fairytale come to life, literally. The amount of tea lights and roses that were used to decorate this part of the clearing to the small river stream on the side just all looked unreal and something that came out of a dream.
I follow the rows of chairs and rose petals that lead all the way up to the trunk of a thick oak tree, more tea lights are hanging from the branches up ahead with roses left to decorate the candle holders. I feel my heart constrict at the thought of Kane leaving early in the morning to have all of this set up.
Vince presses a kiss against my forehead, making sure to whisper a quick "I love you" I smile softly as he moves towards his seat in the front row. Many pack members are seated while others are standing further towards the back. I feel a shudder climb up my back stand as a soft slow kiss is placed against my mark.
My knees buckle almost instantly as his thick brawny arms circle my waist. "God you take my breathe away" Kane's deep husky voice rasps against my skin. I shiver as his voice sends warm tingles throughout my body.
I turn in his arms, my eyes greedily running down his tall form. His thick arms are encased in a white dress shirt. The top two buttons are left undone as his shirt clings to his chest, settling loosely at his trimmed waist. His long thick legs are in khaki coloured pants, his feet encased in brown dress shoes.
I run my fingers against the gold necklace hanging at his neck, his alpha ring glinting softly. My hands crawl up to cup his face. His beard is neatly cut and trimmed, his hair slicked back into a man bun which makes him look so damn sexy. I feel the pull in my lower belly as I peck him once more. "I can't wait to get you naked" I whisper against his now maroon shaded lips.
His lips twitch as he throws his head back with a loud laugh, his arms tightening around my hips. Various pack members turn towards us as Kane shoves his face into my neck, his body vibrating as he chuckles. He pulls his face out a second later after sobering, "I love you so much" he sighs on a small smile, "And I can't wait to see you naked either" I smirk a small blush covering my cheeks, but I ignore all that.
He was mine as I was his, and I wanted him. Soon.
A loud voice clears up the front, ceasing all conversations. Three elderly men stand in front of the large oak tree. The one in the centre smiles warmly, "Good evening fellow pack members. As you all know, tonight is the mating ceremony for your Alpha, Kane Sinclair and his mate Katalina Perez"
Kane grips my hand in his own, leading me towards the front of the pack. "Your Alpha has also requested for another ceremony to take place tonight as well. Alpha Sinclair will also like to complete the Luna ceremony."
I tense, shock overtaking my body. Kane notices immediately and presses a quick kiss against my temple. I narrow my eyes up at him. "Welcome my fellow pack members. I would like to thank you for taking the time out to come and join us for today's celebrations" Kane's loud deep voice booms, settling my nerves somewhat.
"As you all know, I have found my soul mate. I did not bring her fourth, due to complications and other issues. But today before we complete the mating ceremony, I would like to formally introduce you to, Katalina Perez, your Luna, my mate"
Pack members stand and clap, wolf whistles and howls surround us. I smile softly, waving as children from the pack wave excitedly. "Now without further or do, I would like to start the ceremonies."
The elderly man in the centre steps forward, a small table in front of him. He places a small dagger on the flat surface and a brown wooden bowl in the centre. "Your left hands please" I place my left hand in front of me as Kane does the same.
"Do you Kane Sinclair, wish to bound yourself to this woman. Who was given to you by the moon."
Without hesitation, Kane lets out a deep, "I do"
The man's grey piercing eyes then turn to me, "And do you, Katalina Andrea Perez, wish to bound yourself to this man. Who was given to you by the moon"
I nod, "I do." He nods before placing a cut against the inside of my palm, not too deep but enough for a few drops of blood to slip out. He does the same to Kane and then lifts the bowl. The second elderly man to his left steps forward.
Placing my hand into Kane's, he holds our hands together. "With this blood bond, you will be bound together, through life and death" taking a thick rope beside him, he ties a knot, keeping our hands together.
The last man on his right steps forward, he takes a chalice from the first man and lifts it in front of him, whispering a few words he places it in front of me. I look towards Kane in question. He nods, I lift the cup, my body wanting to turn away in revulsion. "Just a sip baby" I nod and hold my breath, making sure to take as little of the liquid as I can.
As soon as the liquid is consumed, my body heats up like a live wire. I grip Kane's hands in my own as various voices, whispers and thoughts zoom through my head. I grit my teeth as a whole lot of emotions come crashing through me. Hands grip my face tightly, forcing me to focus.
Kane yells my name, making me open my eyes as he holds my eyes captive. "Look at me, only me" I shake my head softly, clearing the haziness. My wolf pushes forward, her soothing voice telling me to listen to our mate. I blink, my eyes opening and closing slowly, delayed even.
"Lina baby, your okay. Just listen to my voice" I feel my head nod, the voices quieting down until there's nothing but a faded ringing in my ears. "Lina?" My eyes snap open seeing Kane's bright amber ringed eyes. He smiles brightly, his dimples so goddamn beautiful.
I touch the indents at his cheeks, "I love those" he chuckles softly before moving both our left hands back to the centre of the table. I blink rapidly, my mind easing, my nerves settling making my wolf retreat to the back of my mind.
The third elder nods towards us before lifting both of our hands up, presenting it to the pack. "Your Alpha and Luna of the Sinclair pack. Kane and Katalina Sinclair" The pack, Our Pack stands immediately, clapping and cheers following not long after. I smile softly, my eyes finding Kane's brothers, Vince, Mac and Mrs. Anne.
They all howl loudly, making me chuckle at Little Kase looking so handsome in his little tux. Kane intwines our still linked hands. He moves me towards him, placing a deep kiss against my lips he smiles, "Welcome to the pack Lina."
I laugh against his lips, the loud wolf whistles and cheering fading into nothingness as I connect our lips once more.
