She-Rouge

Chapter 9

~~Purity's POV~~

It had been about a week since Aaron had died. Everything was quiet, no more attacks, which I was grateful for.

"Why did I feel physical pain when Aaron died? I didn't really know him." I asked Cullen. We were sitting in his office, he was bent over some paperwork that had to do with packs. His icy blue eyes looked up at me, no trace of black in them.

We've come a long way since the first time we met. My wolf murmured, I was in a trance by his eyes.

"Because he died after I Marked you, you become a Luna as soon as I Mark you." He explained. I gave him a confused look and he continued, "See, an Alpha is the guardian of the pack, the warrior, fighter, whatever you want to call him." He stood up and walked around the desk until he was standing in front of me, he took my hand in his and pulled me to me feet. My chest was centimeters away from his. I narrowed my eyes and looked up at him.

"And?" I prodded.

"Well, Luna's are the heart behind the pack, they keep them together and no matter what, they care for the pack and love each and everyone as if they were family. As soon as I Marked you, you were Luna. So you felt love to everybody in the pack." Cullen finished. His eyes watched for my reaction.

I nodded, "I guess that's true, I do love the pack. But I love you more." The last part was a whisper. Cullen went rigid, like when Aaron died. It sent my heart into a panic. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"You said it." He murmured.

"What? I love you? Of course I did." I felt my cheeks turn pink. Did I say it too soon? Does he love me?

Yes, he couldn't just not love you. My wolf reasoned, but it hurt her too to think that Cullen didn't love her.

Cullen's lips against mine brought me out of my thoughts. They were soft and the kiss was sweet. Our lips moved in sync. He pulled away and moved his lips next to my ear, "I love you too. You have no idea how much I love you. Its like your a drug to me, I can't get enough of you." His proclamation made my heart go into a frenzy. We sat in a comfortable silence after that, trying to get our breathing back to normal.

"How about we go out somewhere?" He finally asked. I pulled away from him, his eyes seemed incredibly blue, and soft. No trace of his wolf in them.

"Sure. I'm gonna go get ready." I nodded and with a wink, disappeared out the door.

******************

I had called Macy over to help me get ready. She was currently shuffling through my closet, insulting my choice of style. She flipped her blonde hair over her shoulder. Her hand on her hips and a playful smile on her face. Her eyeliner made her green eyes pop. Perfection was a word for her.

She was holding a turquoise dress in one hand, "This will look great on you! With your hair like Arianna Grande and all. I wish I had your hair. But anyway, the blue will go amazingly with the red hair and brown eyes!" Without waiting for my reaction, she shoved it into my hands and pushed me to the bathroom.

I obeyed and changed into the dress, it was tight and went down to my knees. It had only one strap around my shoulder and a light sprinkle of glitter trailed down it but not enough to make it too girly.

I walked out and she gasped. "I was so right! Cullen won't be able to control himself around you when I'm finished." Macy commented, making my face go red.

"Lets just get this over with." I sighed dramatically. She made a face but sat me down in a chair. She took eyeliner to me and mascara. Then straightened my unruly curls.
