Luna's POV

The Alpha Wolf was large and muscular, his body practically rippling, as he paced in tight circles around me. He stood so tall, so proud, that my head only reached his shoulder and, when his eyes met mine, I felt as if he were looking down on me. Bowing my head in a show of respect even as I refused to kneel before him, my eyes locked with his beneath lowered lashes as an authoritative growl vibrated through his chest. He wanted me to submit, which was only natural as he was an Alpha, but we both knew that to do so would be to go against my own instincts as Luna. Would I submit to him- my Alpha, and my Mate- or would I stick up for my own lineage- the daughter of an Alpha, as well as one's own Mate?

Eyes locked with his, I pulled myself up as tall as I could- which was still not very tall- and released a menacing growl of my own. I was a Luna twice over, so of course it was in my blood and bones not to submit to the likes of another Alpha. However, he was also my Mate, and thus was due absolute submission, which was an act of pure instinct, regardless of being male or female. The pull of submission to one's Mate was something to be admired after, especially in an Alpha pair, when neither was expected to submit to anyone except for their Mate. Either way, I would eventually submit to him, but I would take my own damn time doing it...

He was growing angry at my lack of response, so the next thing I know, his two inch Alpha sized canines snapped a mere inch away from my muzzle as yet another weird Wolf smirk played on his lips. Rolling my eyes, I took a step towards him, as he took a step back. On and on we went until I had finally backed him into a tree, and he was stuck; whether he was actually afraid at the possibility that I'd attack him, or he was simply playing along with the game I'd started, I wasn't sure, but I was having fun...

'Luna...' Alessio's smooth, heavily accented voice floated through my head in the Mind Link as his eyes met mine, wide yet playful. 'What in the world are you doing, little one?'

Raising a Wolf brow, I took a step closer until our bodies finally brushed and he was within obvious easy reaching distance. 'This,' I purred, bravely pushing my tongue past his Wolf lips and into his mouth. Who knew Wolves could French kiss?!? Hmm, learn something knew everyday...

Startled, he jerked away with even wider eyes as a warning growl rumbled through his chest. That growl of his was not a good idea, either...! As if he wasn't hot enough, he had to go all angry and possessive on me, which only served to make him that much more irresistible. And by the way my Wolf growled back, she knew just what that growl of his meant. 'Mhm, Luna, let's go get that fine ass of his- teach him to growl at us...!

Advancing on him once more, I choked out a Wolf laugh as he loped away from me, and right into the spring I'd found. Prancing closer with a wink, I stood at the edge of the thin shoreline as he clawed his way to the surface. Growling, he launched his large Wolf body through the water and was literally on me before I knew what was going on. His large body pinned mine to the ground as he rather gently grabbed the scruff of my neck and pulled me into the water beside him. 'Besides just paying you back for that little stunt you just pulled, little one, this is actually what I wanted to show you anyway...'

Alessio's voice was quiet in my head as he swam circles around me, slow and leisurely, with a small Wolf smile. The hope, and love, in his eyes was enough to make me swim closer to him, my strong Wolf legs carrying me through the water and to his side in one stroke. 'Alessio,' I murmured through the Mind Link, my body brushing his as I waded back towards the shore with him in tow, 'this is beautiful... How did you find this place?'

'My Wolf... We were running one day, with nowhere to go and nothing to do, and he led me here...' His lips pulled over his teeth as they turned up into the still awkward smile of a Wolf, before continuing: 'It was sunset, looked just about like this, and I knew that one day, when I found my Mate, that I would bring her here... This would be our place.'

'Alessio,' I murmured once again, pressing my nose into his side as we flopped out onto our bellies on the warm sand, 'thank you.' The words were simple, but held more emotion than I had ever known. Crawling closer, I rested my head on his shoulder as he sighed, sand blowing gently in that puff of air.

'You are so beautiful, Luna, I don't think you even realize- no, I know that you don't even realize... You are selfless, and independent, and strong...' There's that Wolf smile again, his canines glinting as he rolled over on top of me. '...And I love you...' His warm nose pressed against mine as his tongue pushed into my mouth in the newly discovered French Wolf kiss. 'I love you so much already, little one, that I can't even tell you...'

~000~

The sun was slowly sinking beneath the still waters as we lay on our stomachs in Wolf form, bodies pressed flush together and tails twined. 'Can we come out here more often, Alessio- I don't even want to leave tonight...'

'We can come out here as often as you'd like, little one...' Turning his large, butterscotch colored Wolf head to look at me, he flashed a small Wolf smile. 'Whatever makes you happy, Luna- I'll do anything to keep that beautiful smile on your beautiful face.'

Rolling on my side, I rested my head on my front paws and simply sat there, gazing at my Mate as if is never seen him before- which was true, because I'd never seen him in his Wolf form, anyway... His coat was the creamy color of butterscotch, the same as his eyes, with random tufts of black laced through on his tail and legs. Thick rope of muscles propelled him onto his side as well as our eyes met. 'Your coat is the same color as your eyes...'

'And you have some lightning steaks in your coat,' he smirked with a chuckle, as if pointing out the obvious. Rolling over to fully face me, his rough tongue lapped along my cheek as he nuzzled against me. 'It's beautiful, just like you, little one...' Then, his Wolf lips met my own, and I knew without a doubt that I could and would fall in love with this man- my Mate, my Alpha, my Alessio.

A/N: it's definitely shorter than the last update, but it is only like a day or two since the last update, anyway, so here it is...;) how are y'all liking it?!?:) the next chap will be an Alessio POV, probably another filler for now until/unless I develop, or am suggested to use, a plan...;) so unless y'all want filler chap after filler chap, y'all better come up with some ideas.....;);)
