Page 118 of My Only Luna

“Good… Then do you, Alpha Scarlett, vow to treat the Blood Moon Pack as your home and family? To stand by my side as my Luna as well as Co-Alpha? To rule and protect this pack at my side?” he asks, taking everyone by surprise at his change of the traditional vow. I smile softly.

“I do,” I vow. Elijah slices his own hand before taking mine and gently slicing it. We shake hands, our blood mingling, and I am surprised to feel a shift in power, making Elijah smirk.

“That power…”

“You are, after all, an alpha,” he murmurs. The pack-link is back, and I can feel the connection between all my members,the threads that connect us all. So, this is what it feels like to be complete. My heart is racing as I gaze up at Elijah and he leans down, placing a soft kiss on my forehead. My heart hammers, fighting the urge to touch my stomach, reminded of the news that I had discovered.

Yes, I’m pregnant. I ended up telling my friends, but that was because Angela wanted to see the stick and promised not to tell. I feel a little self-conscious that the dress is a little tighter around the stomach than it was two weeks ago. I’m growing, that’s for sure, but at least it still fits.

“I give you, your new Alpha and Luna!” Dad exclaims, spreading his arm towards us.

“You mean Alphas!” Aaron shouts, making everyone laugh and cheer.

“Yes, Alphas!” Dad corrects, smiling slightly as Elijah and I hug. He rocks me slightly and I inhale deeply, wanting nothing more than to always remain in his arms. He is my life…

“Welcome back, Red. We missed you,” Elijah murmurs in my ear, making me smile.

I gaze up at him and he caresses my face. Goddess, he’s perfection. He kisses me before stepping back and turning towards the pack.

“I would like to appoint Aaron Nicholson as my Beta and Michael Bradley Thomas as my Delta.” The pack cheers as Aaron makes his way onto the stage and Michael looks shocked, not expecting it. But it is something Elijah and I discussed and felt it was the right thing to do. It’s a bittersweet moment as they’re both sworn in, a reminder that Elijah had wanted Liam by his side.

I smile softly at his memory before cheering with everyonefor their new Beta and Delta.

“Now, I know we all want to party and eat the delicious food being prepped, but there’s one more thing I want to do before we get to that,” Elijah says, now turning and looking at me. He lets go of my waist. Stepping back, I raise an eyebrow questioningly. There wasn’t anything else we needed to do, right?

He looks at me, and it surprises me that his heart is racing.

“I fell in love with you before I even knew you were meant to be mine. I was ready to claim you and keep you forever, even if destiny had other plans,” he says, his voice loud and clear in the now silent gathering.

To my surprise, he then goes down on one knee, making me gasp. “Scarlett, I love you more than life itself. You are the one that means the absolute world to me, and I want to declare that in every union possible, so will you do me the honour of marrying me?” he asks quietly, taking out a necklace with a diamond pendant at the end. My hand goes to my chest as everyone awes, watching Elijah’s proposal. My heart is pounding, feeling emotional as I nod, gazing into those cerulean eyes I love so much.

“Yes. Yes, I will!” I whisper, trying to hold back my tears. Elijah stands up and holds the necklace up to put it on me. I turn, brushing my hair aside, and let him hook it on as everyone claps. He kisses my shoulder softly, sending sparks of pleasure through me.

“I thought a necklace with a long chain was ideal for when you shift,” he explains softly. I turn, gripping his neck a little roughly and pull him close, kissing him passionately. My move makes a few men chuckle and whistle, but heck, I don’t care if I’m staking my claim.

This man ismine.

I love the idea,I say through the mind-link.

Good.He smirks against my lips before we part reluctantly. I bite my lip, feeling him throb against my stomach.

Not getting excited, are you, Alpha?I mock, pressing myself fully against him. He bites back a groan nipping down on my neck, and I resist a sigh.

Keep teasing, I’ll have you on your knees before you realise. Throating this dick, baby girl,he says, sucking hard on my neck. I bite back a moan, his words making my juices soak my panties.

“Okay, I get it,” I say, moving away from him. “Come on! Let’s go dance!” Elijah smirks, and I know he can smell my arousal, making me blush, and hope everyone can just ignore it!

Aside from a few smirks, no one says anything.

“You sure, Kitten? Cause we could sneak away?” he whispers sexily.

“Elijah! Behave,” I scold playfully, glaring at him.

“Ok, fine. One dance. Then food, and we’re out of here,” he says, his eyes trailing over me as he licks his lips. I see his eyes glazing and know he is mind-linking someone. Instantly, the current song stops playing, and the lights dim a little. The songUnconditionallybegins playing and my eyes widen, looking into Elijah’s cerulean blue ones.

Did he pick this?

“I never knew you could be so romantic,” I tease as he cups my waist, pulling me close. I wrap my arms around his shoulders, looking up into his eyes.
