The Alpha's Soul

19

Final chapter ! Basically just sex and ✨emotions✨ ! Please enjoy !

It had been four weeks since the mating ceremony and Luke was on his way back to the pack house from the retired Alpha and Luna's home. Since he was having issues coping with his encounter with Corban and the abuse he endured, Calix talked to his mother and had her help Luke.

She was a fantastic therapist and was using her life of being a strong Luna and being able to soothe her pack mates to help Luke through his trauma.

"Luke, you forgot this!" Jolene called, running out of the pack house and handing him his sweatshirt.

Well, it was actually Tan's sweatshirt, but Luke adopted it as his own and he'd keep it until it lost the scent of his mate.

"Thank you," Luke said, grabbing the article of clothing and holding it to his nose. "We're going to complete the bond tonight."

Jolene seemed pleasantly surprised. "Why didn't you mention it during our appointment?"

Luke smiled. "Because you'd make me talk about it," he said, turning away."

"I have another hour until I have to be anywhere!"

"No thanks!" Luke called back, waving to Jolene, the woven leather bracelet that Tan made him for their ceremony jostling on his wrist. "Next time you see me I'll have a mate mark!"

Jolene smiled as he ran off, proud of how Luke had grown and become more confident and worked to fight his fears. He was still hesitant and had difficult nights, but he'd come so far in one month.

She just hoped Luke could make it through the night and not end up having another meltdown.

Luke got home and found his mate packing a duffel bag full of the few things they'd need.

"Clothes and sex toys," Luke said as he walked in, grinning. "My kinda bag."

Tan scoffed, zipping up the bag. "It's our bonding night, so it's basically just sex for a whole day."

Luke danced around like a kid in a candy store. "I know! I'm so excited!" he exclaimed, standing behind Tan and grabbing his hips. "Can't wait to have you all to myself. I'm glad we have this place for two days because I don't think you're going to be able to walk tomorrow."

"You think very highly of yourself," Tan commented in a low voice, a pink blush covering his face.

"Is there a reason for me not to?" Luke asked, nibbling Tan's neck. "I'm the king."

Tan scoffed. "You're a weirdo with a big ego," he said, but his voice wasn't as strong or sassy as usual. He was definitely turned on but he wanted to wait until they were all alone and no one would interrupt them.

"I can smell you," Luke purred in his ear. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, I am," Tan squeaked, grabbing his back and throwing it over his shoulder. "Let's go."

They went downstairs to find their pack mates all in the living room and kitchen, talking and prepping for dinner since it was nearing time for dinner and they all like to spend time together.

"The suite is all ready for you two," Calix said, throwing a key in his hand to Luke. "Have fun and it's just outside the homes, so please don't be too loud."

"No promises," Luke said, winking at their pack Alpha and grabbing Tan's arm. "Let's go, babe."

Tan waved to the rest of his pack, ignoring their teasing smirks and winks as they left. They walked through the town, hand in hand, until they reached the suite, which was designed as a large log cabin that newly mated couples could use to make their bond official. It was tradition in packs and their suite was nice and made them feel fancy, so Tan was impressed and happy to use it.
