Pixies and wolves

CHAPTER 16: LIFE IS NOW NEW AND STRANGE

JOSHUA'S POV

It's been a few hours since I last saw Xenia and she could hardly control herself around me. Not to mention me around her. We are mates and stuff but how can we be mates when she has yet to know of her full wolf potential, unless she became one last night with many of us at the orange moon ceremony.

I'm still in recovery and rest mode after the transformation but all I want to do is be near my mate. I need guidance from Alexia and the others, and I need it now.
I head out to the Ancients ruins that are now a majestic palace over night, and transform into this new wolf that is new and odd to me.
"We have been expecting you", "we want to show you your mate now", "it is time for you to meet her in person and share your emotions and form your bond", all the Ancients talk at once one after the other, and I guess that will take some getting used to.
" Okay where do I start and why are we to mate when we hardly know each other?" I exclaim taken aback by their forwardness.
"It is the only way", "for you to keep her a wolf", "her family left the wolves", " and the life of a wolf for the human world", they do it again
"The only way her family will release her is for you to mate with her and form your bonds that she cannot be removed from you," the familiar voice of Alexia speaks out over all the wolves.
I give a bow to her as she is the only ancient female there is, only to receive a bow in return.
"Now go, before it is too late!" She exclaims and they all vanish into the air of the palace.
I race after Xenia, after my mate, after my unknown destiny that has been placed before me.

A few minutes later after traveling through the dense woods I can smell her sweet scent on some branches and the ground. The air rich and dense in her fragrance. I follow it keenly and arrive at the borders of their house. I give a small bowl that wolves can hear. I howl a second time and then give a bark.
There she stands my mate, my Xenia. I poke my head out from the trees and am soon spotted by her. She races from the back door and out to meet me in the woods. Quickly forming into her wolf, we race out into the depths of the forest and change back into our human form slightly out of breath from leaping, ducking, diving and racing through the forest her hot my heels.
I lean in for a kiss and she returns the eagerness for it. We start softly gently tasting of each other before rushing into the tantalising emotion, passion, and desire for mating.

A few long hours and extreme pleasure pass, as we mates before the Ancients and the guardians that have long ascended into the stars. We both stare at the full moon, longing for the howls and the sweet taste of each other once more.
"It's late and I need to get home", Xenia says, being the first one to speak this entire time. Her voice is soft, sweet and like a dazing dream of clouds and tufts of sugar, completely tantalizing and irresistible to listen to.
" I'll lead you back, that way you get home quicker," I reply to her comment rather quickly.
"Today was amazing my mate," she responds, " we need to discuss terms with my parents and your parents."
That took me off guard, that she knows so much about us already, but I shouldn't be surprised. Alexia is an amazing tutor and has probably taught all there is to know about wolf life and our pack, the Wolwase pack.

I lead her home and kiss her goodnight before heading to the council of Ancients for guidance
