Hunter…

In celebration of our engagement, I had planned a celebratory engagement dinner with Arianna's parents, her best friend Marissa, my Beta Zander and his parents. Zander is my best friend, after all and like a brother to me. I mind-linked my beautiful mate and told her to meet me in our room to get ready. She came upstairs 10 minutes later, and I grabbed her quickly, slamming my lips onto hers.

"Hunter!"

"I missed you…"

"It's only been a few hours."

"Way too long."

She giggled, then kissed me again.

"Come shower with me.."

"Yes ma'am."

I let her pull me into the shower, but took control of her and made sure we got dirty before we got cleaned up. When we finally exited the shower, I could sense how happy and excited she was. I could also see her gigantic smile and she hummed happily as she searched for a dress to wear. She settled on a cute sleeveless black dress with pearl earrings and a pearl necklace. She pulled her hair up and left little strands hanging down. She looks gorgeous with her hair up. I wore a simple black suit with a white shirt.

"Ready to eat?"

She checked herself one last time, and turned to me.

"Do I look okay?"

"Beautiful."

She smiled and I took her hand as we made our way downstairs. Everyone was waiting for us, except my Beta. He texted me that he had to pick up his parents and would be late. We just decided to start without him. I couldn't let my baby get hungry. We all take our places, with Arianna by my side. Marissa sits on Arianna's other side, and they gossip as we all enjoy our food. 10 minutes later, Zander finally arrives with his parents.

"So sorry we're late. We had ..."

His sentence is cut short when he sees Marissa. They lock eyes, and we all look at them as the realization sets in. Arianna squeezes my hand. She smiles at me, because she also sees what I see. Zander moves around the table. His eyes never leaving hers. He pulls her up and to him.

"Mine...my mate…"

"I am yours."

He just picks her up and leaves with her. We all watch for a minute, then I hear Arianna giggle.

"I guess they won't be back."

Everyone chuckles, then gets back to the meal. Throughout the meal, I kept pulling Arianna's chair closer and closer. Now it was butted up right next to mine.

"Hunter! Maybe I should just sit in your lap."

"If you insist."

I easily scooped her up and placed her in my lap. I heard her gasp, then giggle.

"Hunter...you-."

I stopped her with a big kiss on her ruby lips.

"Oh Hunter...you crazy man."

"If you weren't so delectable, it wouldn't be a problem."

"It's never a problem being close to you."

She is teasing me. She's been running her hand under my suit jacket, and over my chest. If these people weren't here, I would throw her on the table and have my way with her right here.

"Ari…"

She lightly pecks my lips, then smiles. She's so happy. Laughing and smiling. Everyone is drawn to her presence. She's going to make a perfect Luna.

An hour later, we left the party and raced upstairs.

ARIANNA...

Once we reached our room, Hunter had me up against the wall with my legs around his body. He tugged at my dress, and kissed over my mark making my whole body shudder.

"You...are...beautiful."

"Oh Hunter..."

He carried me over to the bed, and we pulled our clothes off. We faced each other, completely nude, and I took in Hunter's body. Strong and muscular. I let my hands roam over his chest, down to his throbbing member. He moaned as I took him in my hands.

"Ari…"

"Let me pleasure my Alpha."

I pushed him onto his back, and moved down his body, kissing him along the way. I took him in my mouth, and he groaned as I licked and sucked him.

"Fuck...I'm gonna cumm…"

I stopped and moved up his body.

"Let's not waste it. I want it inside of me."

I impaled myself on him and moaned just from the way he felt. He flipped us and pushed my legs up to my chest.

"You're a tease. Now you're getting punished."

This was the...best...punishment...ever… He had me screaming his name several times before finally taking me from behind. He pulled me up to his chest while still inside of me.

"You belong to me...say it."

"I belong to you…"

"I love you Arianna…"

"I love you."

After Hunter finally finished having his way with me, he held me in his arms. I looked at the ring on my finger. It sparkled in the moonlight that streamed through the window.

"It's a beautiful ring."

"I'm glad you like it."

"I love it because you gave it to me."

He kissed my forehead and sighed.

"You're my everything. I want you to know that."

"I know...I love you so much."

I felt the rumbling from his chest and I smiled.

"I love Aiden too."

"I think it's time we let our wolves out to play."

"That's a great idea, but right now...I'm tired."

"Well...get some sleep. We have a big day tomorrow."

I was already half in and out of what he said. My eyes got heavy and I merely nodded before I was out. When I woke the next day, Hunter was not in bed with me. He left a red rose and a note on the pillow.

I HAD TO TAKE CARE OF SOME THINGS. CALL ME IF YOU NEED ANYTHING. I'LL FIND YOU LATER. LOVE YOU.

He's so cheesy. He leaves a rose on the pillow. I smiled and breathed in the scent of the rose. After using the bathroom and going downstairs, I found Zander and Marissa in the kitchen. They may have been in the process of getting breakfast, but she was now on the counter with Zander between her legs.

"Ahhem…"

I startled them and Zander spun around. He turned 3 shades of red when he saw me, and Marissa only giggled.

"Good morning you two...have a good night?"

Zander now looks as red as my rose.

"I better get going. I have work today."

He quickly kissed Marissa and scurried away, mumbling a good morning as he ran past me. When he was out of ear shot, both me and Marissa broke down into laughter. She jumped off the counter and we hugged.

"So...I guess this means you'll be moving in?"

"Oh yeah...he's...amazing. Arianna, I can't believe it."

"I'm so happy for you. Did you guys….?"

She pulled down her shirt to reveal her mark.

"You didn't waste any time."

"No way. He's so passionate. I love him."

"I'm happy for you."

"Thanks bestie….sorry I ditched you last night."

"You only missed a great dinner."

"Are you the Luna now?"

"Not yet. Not until we're married."

"When will that be?"

"Not sure. We haven't discussed it yet. Everything has changed so quickly. I'm trying to keep up."

"You're the bravest woman I know. If anyone can handle this, you can."

We hugged again, then I got a mind-link from Hunter.

I need you and Marissa in my office, please.

Coming.

"Hunter needs us."

"For what?"

"He didn't say."

"Let's go find out."

We made it to his office moments later, I knocked, and he called out.

"Enter!"

We walked in and the men stood up with a couple of women we did not know, and my parents.

"What's going on?"

"Come here my love."

He held out his hand to me, and I went over to take it. Once I was wrapped in his arms, he spoke.

"Arianna, last night was not just a party, but our engagement party. Tonight, I want us to be married. Tonight is a Blue Full Moon, and I can only believe that the Moon Goddess herself made this night just for us. What do you say?"

"Can we really do this? How can we pull off a wedding in so little time?"

"Leave that to us."

The two women in the office came forward and bowed.

"We are your wedding planners, and your fiance has spared no expense to put together a wedding for you. Trust me. We will have everything ready for you by 8pm tonight."
