We are coming down to the last couple of chapters. I appreciate everyone reading. Chow babes!
Taya's POV
"You scared the shit out of me with that stunt you pulled and you're a mess, you have cuts and scratches everywhere. You're gonna need at least a couple of days to heal", Jesse is telling me as he washes my hair.
"We were getting no where, I just decided playing dead was the best plan", I tell him.
It's been hours since the fight and I've showered three times and I still feel dirty. Jesse's skilled fingers are helping this time though. This shower feels much better and I'm not sure why I ever refused his help the first two times.
"I've never felt heartbreak like that, I was ready to start killing my own pack members. I never want to feel like that again. Don't you dare ever shut your mind off from me again.", he orders me.
I smile into his chest and whisper, "okay".
He's been a little antsy since the fight.
"Jesse, we have to give her a proper funeral. She deserves one", I say tearing up again.
"Anything you want baby", he tells me. "Put your head back", he rinses the shampoo out of my hair. "I'll have one of the warriors arrange everything", he tells me.
"I'd like to go pay my respects", I tell him. I feel guilty about the whole thing. Jasmine wasn't a bad person, she was just very lost. She thought she wanted love from a man that could never truly give her what she wanted. She was abused, hurt and scared but she wasn't evil.
"Then we'll go together baby", Jesse says.
....
A few days after the funeral Jesse called me to his office. I brought him lunch because it had become a habit.
"Yes, big man", I asked him.
"Ooh 'big man'", he says trying it out on his tongue, "I like it".
"How are you feeling baby", Jesse asks me seriously.
"Aside from being a little sore, I feel great. Being a werewolf is awesome", I tell him sincerely.
He smiles at me and stands up from his desk and stalks over to me, he is smirking and he looks like trouble, "good well then you don't mind being introduced to the pack as Luna tonight" he questions.
I'm very nervous and I don't respond quickly. He grabs my hand, "hey you have nothing to worry about. Everyone loves you already".
I tell him okay and he sends me off to go get dressed. Tawny is helping me and we are listening to music. I am drawing while she is painting my toenails. I chose dark blue because it reminds me of Jesse's eyes. Tawny is telling me how excited she is for tonight and I'm just trying to lose myself in the art.
My nails are just finished drying when she pulls out a beautiful white dress. It is all lace and backless. It is short and flowy and just my style.
"I picked this out for you, I just thought you'd like it", Tawny tells me.
"It's gorgeous", I tell her. She pushes me to go put it on and luckily it fits like a glove. It stops slightly shorter than the tip of my fingertips. The lace connects at the top of the dress in the back then is open until it connects again at my lower back.
I admire myself in the dress for a little while longer then Jesse comes down to the room. He walks in and stops int the middle of the doorway. He is staring at me and I'm feeling a little shy.
"You loook amzing babygirl. Wow", he says. He is walking around me in a cirle and stops the second time at my bcak. He traces a line down the center of my bcak. "You're beautiful", he tells me and sends a kiss to my shoulder.
"You are", I way back.
"Thank you baby", Jesse replies. "I can't wait, let's go. You're my official Luna in ten minutes or I'll die", he says excitedly.
"Okay baby, I'm ready when you are", I tell him.
We go downstairs and to a big park on the pack lands. Everyone is there. We're all barefoot and it's exciting. Jesse is standing behind a podium with me hanging off of his waist. I'm nervous but everyone has been so accepting so I curve the feeling.
Jesse clears his throat and that alone had everyone's attention. "Hello, my family. Today I have called this gathering to have the official Luna Ceremony. As many of you know. I met this beautiful woman, Taya Samson, a few months ago. She has made my life immensely better. She had gone through trials, sacrafices and challenges for the opportunity to stand next to me. She is my mate and now the Luna of this pack. Please treat her just as you would me", Jesse says in a loud voice.
I wave and stay hi to everyone. It's like the first time I met the 30 or so pack members in the living room area. Except it's much longer. I exchange pleasantries and hugs with everyone and then address the crowd as a whole.
"Hello everyone, I'd just like to thank you all for the kindness you have extended to me this evening and since I've been here. I'm sorry that this has taken a while but as many if you know we we're struggling with some things. Now I love Jesse with all of my heart and he loves his pack, his family. I hope you guys can accept me into your family and if you'd be willing, I'd love to be apart of this family", I tell the crowd.
There was cheers and murmurs of approval. I smiled and leaned back against Jesse. He wraps his hands around my waist.
"Not that bad, right", he asks.
"Not bad at all", I reply.
He takes me back to our room and there are suitcases in the middle of the room.
"My beautiful fiance, how would you like going to a pre-honey moon", Jesse asks me wiggling his eyebrows.
I giggle and peck his lips, "I'd love to bubs".
