I Am The Luna

He smiles faintly. "You really have fallen into the Luna role so perfectly. Look at you fixing my mistakes."

I smirk. "Or being devious, you are too truthful. I'll text Valerie," I say, reaching for my phone.

"Are you certain about this?" he asks quietly, placing a hand over mine.

"I am," I answer. He nods.

"Then go ahead. You are my priority, Adriana. And as selfish as it might sound, I will put you first, no matter what it costs me."

His words make my heart skip a beat as I comb my fingers through his hair. "Then lucky for us, I won't let you make unreasonable sacrifices. Go get changed for bed. I'll message Val."

He nods, kissing me deeply before he reluctantly moves back and gets up. I watch him undo his belt as he disappears into the adjoining bathroom and quickly text Valerie.

I wait, hoping she sees it tonight. The phone beeps and I see her incoming message.

VALERIE: You really are the only one for him. Trust me, I've seen him look at Zaia and I've seen him look at you. There's a huge difference. I'm on it. I will say that I had thought I sent the message but didn't realise I hadn't as I was so excited and it's not wrong. I am so excited.

ADRIANA: lol, thanks, Val.

VALERIE: You're amazing, and I do think it's sweet of Atticus to be understanding too, this is why you are both the perfect couple.

I smile.

ADRIANA. Thanks, babe.

VALERIE: Anytime. Now try not to sleep too late. You have a long day and night ahead of you tomorrow, too.

I smirk, night... sounds about right.

ADRIANA: We do. See you then.

I put my phone down, feeling lighter and happier as I sink into the lush bedding waiting for my mate.

I could get used to this.....

The next day dawns bright and clear and it was indeed busy. The entire pack is bustling. The décor is divine with darkBelongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

purple and pink flowers, a blanket of stars mask the ceilings, hanging candles in crackled glass lanterns and the entire vibe from the table cloths, flowers, and curtains are all in dark pinks, purple and black. Those are the colours Nicole had ordered the guests to wear, although I had said I didn't mind if they wore whatever they wanted. But Nicole, Linette, and Valerie were not having it.

To my relief, Atticus' other sister didn't mind me either, and she seemed relieved that her brother was finally settling down, reminding him he wasn't young anymore. If only she knew just how much stamina he has, but that's not something I'm about to tell his sister.

Her mate Andrew and the kids are nice too, and I think once I spend a little more time with them, I'll be more open and able to build better relationships. I want to, for Atticus.

I now look at my reflection. I'm all ready. My stomach is a fluttering mess as I gaze at the dress I had picked out and run my hands down my hips. It's as beautiful as everything else is for tonight, just as extravagant too, and looking at my reflection, my heart skips a beat.

The woman in the mirror is me, yet at the same time I look... breathtaking... I had debated between this gown and one with sleeves to cover my burns, but in the end I decided on this one, knowing it's what Atticus would prefer too.

What am I hiding? These burns, these scars, they are a part of me and if Atticus can accept me, then I really don't care what anyone else thinks. My nails are a pretty French manicure with gems, and I'm wearing silver heels. A few beaded pearl necklaces and large earrings complete my look.

"Wow, you look beautiful," Linette says as she and Valerie enter. They're both in deep purple gowns, only a shade or two different. Valerie's is flowing with it being cinched at the waist and thin straps with a slit down the right leg. It's similar to what Nicole is wearing which is just a bit more pink. Whilst Linette's is an off-shoulder mermaid gown, it's fitted to the thighs, and it has a slit down her left leg.

"She really does," Valerie says, looking all emotional.

"And so do you both," I reply.

"You know I was losing faith that Atticus would ever find a luna, and he didn't just find a luna but was lucky enough to find such a gorgeous one," Linette says. "I feel relieved!"

Me and Valerie laugh. "I'm glad he waited though," I admit softly.

"Yeah, me too," Valerie says, hugging me as Linette nods.

"I won't put too much pressure on you since you just got together, but I do hope you think about having babies soon," she whispers, making my eyes fly open.

What? But before I can reply, I hear the music come on.

"Oh shoot, time to go," Valerie says as my stomach somersaults, my nerves all over the place.

I haven't seen Atticus all day and I miss him and want to see him again fast... but at the same time, it means the moment has come

To mark one another.
