~Missy’s Point of View~
I’d had to miss two days of school with everything going on and I was terrified they would flunk me. Susie offered to come meet with the principal and long story short, I would be graduating as expected. She said while listening to his thoughts she found out some interesting tidbits but of course, she wouldn’t elaborate.
If blackmail was necessary for me to get that stupid certifcate than I didn’t care. The whispers around the school were harsh, criticizing my mates for not being able to keep their people safe. It was absolutely ludicrous, and the fact that our village did as well as it did with the small numbers it had really was amazing. I mean, Susie was basically five people in one but they didn’t need to know that.
“I heard one of her mates
Ohhh ooohh had to have the guys make an appearance!
~Missy’s Point of View~Saturday had been a day everyone was looking forward to, anxious to be productive. But me? I was hiding like a damn coward in the kitchen. Terrified of seeing those males again. Their muscles, their perfect smiles.Thankfully there was no shortage of things to do so I did well at staying occupied. Since Chance’s mate arranged most of the food, we were making drinks and desserts. Kendra conjured up a table, and once we had it full she teleported it out to the field. It was pretty damn cool. Every hour or so it would come back empty and we’d fill it up all over again. There had to be fifty people out there at this point.There was talk they may be able to do a fourth house as long as there were enough materials. I hoped they coul
~Renata’s Point of View~ I just can’t waste any brain power on Ryan tonight. I know it’s a shock for him, hell I’m still in shock too! I always, always dreamed about my pups. If they would look like me, or my mate. Well I sure as shit knew now, they were going to look nothing like me in their natural form. My heart broke at the thought. But Missy believes in the Goddess, and deep down I know I do too. I paced in the woods alone, waiting for Diego to show up. I had a complete meltdown and insisted that we be alone. I think Nate was too terrified to go against me after my outburst. I didn’t want anyone else to see me like this, so emotional. It wasn’t my usual personality and in Long Tooth we don’t show weakness. But having a mate has just scrambled my damn head! While D
~Diego’s Point of View~ I thought I knew what my life would be, I thought the Shadows were my path, I thought the bachelor life was all I would know. I thought… I thought I had accepted my life. How could I have ever imagined that following the Black triplets to help build a house would bring me my mate? How did it seem that she was maybe ashamed of me? I smelled her when she was within a quarter mile, it nearly crippled my body. I fought terribly with Pablo, my bear, over dropping everything and going to find her. I knew that it was a new pack, with new Alphas. I had no clue what the protocol was for it all, I’d never lived in a pack myself. Bear shifters aren’t at all like wolves, we live with family but not in large groups. Of course there are some that choose
~Missy’s Point of View~ I stared back at my reflection and really didn’t even recognize myself. I was graduating from school today, and it hardly seemed possible. I felt worlds away from where I was a year ago. Before my mates found me and turned my world around. I was Luna, I was nearly mated. Forty-two days but who is counting… I’d barely even been staying at home anymore, and my parents honestly didn’t seem to care. They were too beside themselves to tell everyone I was Luna of Shadow Village, it was as if my actual presence was no longer required. I finished putting in my earrings, some little heart shaped diamond drops that were a graduation gift from my mates.
~Missy’s Point of View~ “What’s the day count now,” Renata asked as we bumped into each other around the kitchen. “Eighteen days and one last full moon,” I said, wiping my forehead with the back of my arm. At this point I should plaster it on a giant calendar because everyone constantly asks me. It's getting hard not to snap about it because each person doesn’t know the last has asked me already. “That’s so rough, man I just don’t know how they do it,” she said, shaking her head. I know she just wanted to make conversation but it was just too hard for me to think about anymore. After the last full moon I heard Nate and Ryan talking about the
~Nate’s Point of View~ I know they say you should never think about how good things are going, because that’s usually when they shit the bed. But fuck if I can help it. We have a pack now of nearly a hundred people, and we’re thriving. Granted we’re still leaning on the Shadows a lot, but we’re getting there. Having two vampires has been unbelievable for us. Once word got out, the rogues backed off tremendously. While a lot of our people were skittish, and nervous … we made it a point for them both to meet all the people, and speak to them as much as possible. All the former Shadows were now helping us make money too, offering their services with training. It was a no brainer … with no overhead costs. It wasn’t like we were giving away any big secrets, defense is
~Missy’s Point of View~ Do I really get to have it all? The dream mates, the cushy life of a Luna? Likely have amazing sex for the rest of my life? Ohhh. With everything we’d already done I wasn’t sure how it would be better. How my body could handle it being any better. But from Renata’s bragging stories I knew it was, she had turned into an addict. My insides absolutely stirred with the idea. I knew I was ready, I mean we had literally done everything but actual traditional sex but… Goddess I always do this! I analyze to death! I wasn’t even listening to the vampire’s words, I couldn’t focus. I felt like everything was in slow motion. You deserve this, you deserve the happily ever after! “You may both kiss
~Ryan’s Point of View~ “Baby you look so damn beautiful. I’m so ready to rip this off you for good and lick you like an ice cream cone … again,” I whispered in her ear. She blushed, as usual and gripped me tighter. We were sharing our first dance as husband and wife. Of course she was standing on my feet since she thought she would otherwise embarrass herself. It was the perfect cover to have her closer. I knew everyone could tell she had a somewhat freshly fucked face, and I couldn’t give a damn. I needed to see her actually properly fucked face. But that would have to wait. Tonight I’d be making love to her, a first for us both. I’d certainly never call what I’d done with anyone else making love. Nothing close to it. But it was what my mate deserved and I was more th
