My smart luna

Chapter-12

Xander's POV:

I am over the moon right now. My mate accepted not only me but also my wolf, Lucifer (my wolf's name). I was so worried that she would be scared and reject me as soon as she knows the truth. But the moon goddess really blessed me with a wonderful mate. The reaction I got from her totally shocked me. She even played with my wolf. Lucifer pranced around in my head when she said that she loves me. He was on cloud nine when she asked to see him. I can already see that he is whipped by her. Of course I was no different from him. Walking hand in hand with my mate, I feel like the king of the world. I was beaming with pride and joy looking at my mate interacting with our pack members. The whole pack was happy to found their luna. They were all mind linking me about how lucky I was to be blessed with such a beautiful and happy soul. And I couldn't deny it. I was really a very lucky man to get my pretty luna.

 It was getting late, so I took my luna's hand excusing ourselves and went upstairs towards her room. As we went to her room, my heart sank when I realized that we will be sleeping in two different rooms. "Sooo..." I started. "What is it?" my mate asked. "I know that this is all strange to you, but if you are comfortable, would you like to sleep with me?" Her eyes widened and she was about to say something when I said in a hurry "hey no need to panic! I promise that we will be only sleeping, nothing more. My wolf wants to keep you close to assure you are safe. It's a werewolf thing and me being an alpha, the urge to protect my mate is ten times more than others. You can stay here if you want, I'm not pressuring you. You don't have to do it if you are not comfortable, you can stay here if you want and" I rambled. She suddenly started laughing and said "You are cute when you ramble like that. Sure I will love to sleep beside you as long as it's just sleeping. Just let me go change into my night wear. I'll meet you at your room". I was momentarily stunned by her laugh but snapped out of it. Then I remembered that she agreed to sleep in my room and ran to my room to see everything was perfect. Even though I'm a bachelor, I loved to keep my room tidy since my childhood. So there was nothing much to clean before my mate gets here. I decided to take a quick shower and went into the bathroom. As soon as I stepped into my room, I saw my mate sitting on my bed wearing sweat pants and a loose t-shirt. By the looks of it she showered too. Normally, I like to sleep without my shirt, but today I wore a shirt to save my mate from embarrassment. "Hi beautiful", I said approaching her. Her eyes lit up when she saw me. "Hi" she mumbled with a blush on her face. I just chuckled and climbed on the bed. She squealed when I lifted her up and placed her on my lap. I brought my face into her neck and started sniffing her delicious scent which calmed me instantly. She giggled when I did this and let me tell you it's the beautiful sound I ever heard. "Xander", she called me, I lifted my head to see her beautiful face. "Yes sweetheart", I asked. "Can you tell me more about werewolves?" she asked shyly. I smiled and asked "What do you want to know exactly sweetheart?" "Everything", she answered with an enthusiastic smile. "Aren't you a curious little thing?" I chuckled asking her to which she just smiled shyly.

 "ok, so where to begin? So, for starters, we are werewolves. We can change into our wolves whenever we want. We lives in packs. All the packs follow a hierarchy. The leaders of the pack are Alpha and his luna. The Beta and his mate are second in command. The gamma and his mate are third. They are the highest ranking wolves in a pack. Apart from them, there are some old, wise people called elders who help the pack leaders if necessary. Then there is a chief pack doctor and a head nurse who are in charge of all the medical supplies and the pack hospitals. There are warriors who protect the pack and also run the patrols around the pack borders to ensure the safety. All the others are just regular pack members, who either study and work here or in human towns. Werewolves are very territorial creatures. So we do not cross the borders of other packs without informing their alpha. If not it is equal to signing a death warrant. Some wolves who lost their mates or who are banished from their pack turn into rogues. They are feral wolves who lost their mind and can be very dangerous. They kill anyone in their path. Although it is not necessary that all the rogues are dangerous. Some can be actually innocent and friendly." As I was continuing my description, she yawned. I chuckled and said "that is enough for today, the rest I will explain you tomorrow. For now let's sleep. Ok sweetheart?" She just nodded her head and slept on my chest. As soon as she laid her head on my chest, her breathing got even and she was fast asleep. I carefully laid down with her and pulled the blanket over us. She snuggled closer to me as I draped my hand over her waist and kissed her forehead. Feeling content that my mate is safe with me, I slipped into a dreamless slumber.
