Sophia’s POV
“I am so proud of you,” Lex said as he pulled me into a hug. “You are going to be an amazing Luna.”
I hugged him back and leaned my head on his chest. I would miss him terribly. Well, I already did. I moved to Hunter’s pack about two weeks ago. I missed everyone, but I missed Lex the most.
“Thank you,” I said quietly. “I miss you so much. Can you move here, please?”
Lex chuckled and kissed the top of my head.
“Oh, I would trust me,” he said as he rubbed my back. “I miss you too.”
I looked up at him and smiled. I didn’t have any idea how hard it was going to be without him. I was used to being with him all the time. I never did anything without him. He was always around and I was having trouble accepting that it wouldn’t be like that anymore.
I felt tears gathering in my eyes. I just missed my twin so much.
“Don’t start crying,” Lex said softly. “You will ruin your makeup.”
I rolled my eyes and Lex chuckled.
“I just miss you a lot,” I mumbled as I raised my hand to wipe the area under my eyes. “I didn’t realize it would be this hard to be apart.”
Lex sighed and kissed my forehead.
“I know,” he said. “It sucks. But I promise that we will see each other more. I was just too busy last week.”
He took over the pack about a week ago and he was busy catching up with everything. Our dad prepared him well, but it was still a big task.
“I know,” I mumbled. “I am sorry for being so emotional.”
“Goddess, Fia, don’t apologize for that,” Lex said as he pulled me back into a hug. “We’ve never been separated before. It is hard.”
He was right. It was hard. It was harder than I expected it to be.
The door opened and my mate’s scent made me relax instantly.
“What’s wrong?” Hunter asked worriedly.
I heard him close the door and approach us.
“We just missed each other,” Lex said, tightening his arms around me.
Hunter sighed and placed a hand on my back. He rubbed my back gently and I relaxed even more.
“We can go see Alex anytime you want,” Hunter said softly. “He can come here anytime he wants. I told you that, Angel.”
I knew that, but I also knew that life and obligations would come between us. I knew that Lex and I wouldn’t be able to see each other often. It was hard to accept that. It was hard to say goodbye to him and not know when I would see him again.
“Hunter is right, Fia,” Lex said. “We will see each other all the time. I promise.”
I looked up at him and smiled. I knew that we would at least try to see each other often.
“Come on, Angel,” Hunter said. “The ceremony is starting soon.”
Lex grinned and let me go. A wave of nervousness washed over me.
I looked down at my dress and gulped.
“Are you sure that I look okay?” I asked, trying to smooth out a wrinkle.
“You are beautiful, Angel,” Hunter said softly as he wrapped an arm around my waist.
You are more than beautiful. He added through the mind-link. You are breathtaking. I can’t wait to get you out of this dress later.
I looked up at him and he smirked.
“You look amazing,” Lex said. “I already know that mom is going to cry.”
“Oh, she already is,” Hunter said, laughing. “She and Daisy started crying when they saw the decorations.”
Lex snorted and shook his head.
“I am going to go find my seat,” he said as he kissed my forehead. “See you out there.”
I watched him leave the room and my heart clenched. I wished I had more time with him. He had to go back to our pack right after the ceremony and I didn’t know when I would see him again.
“We will go there over the weekend,” Hunter said, making me look at him.
I furrowed my eyebrows. Go where?
“Alex and I talked when he came here,” Hunter said as he wrapped his arms around me. “He knew that he wouldn’t be able to stay long, but he misses you and he asked if we would be able to go to his pack over the weekend.”
My eyes widened and I smiled brightly.
“Really?” I asked excitedly.
“Yes,” Hunter said and caressed my cheek. “I know how much you miss him.”
I pulled him in for a kiss and he grunted. He ran his hand down my back and slapped my butt lightly.
“No,” he said sternly. “No kissing. I am barely holding back from ripping that dress to shreds and fucking you. Kissing is just making it harder for me.”
I chuckled and placed a soft kiss on his jaw. He growled and narrowed his eyes at me.
“You will get to rip this dress off me later,” I said quietly.
Hunter groaned and took a step back from me.
“You are killing me,” he complained. “We really need to go before I cancel the ceremony to fuck you.”
I laughed and shook my head at him.
Hunter took a deep breath and pulled me back to him. He kissed the tip of my nose and caressed my cheek.
“I can’t believe that this is finally happening,” he said. “I can’t believe that you will finally become my Luna.”
I smiled and ran my fingers through his hair.
“I was always your Luna,” I said. “Even before we met. I was made for you.”
Hunter leaned in and placed a soft kiss on my lips.
“And I was made for you,” he said. “Every part of my body and soul was made for you. It was always yours and it will always be yours.”
My heart skipped a beat and I wanted to stay here so he could rip my dress off. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him again. He grunted and pressed me closer to him.
“Fuck, Angel, we really need to go,” he mumbled against my lips. “You can’t miss your Luna ceremony.”
I smiled and gave him a small nod. As much as I wanted to stay here with him and make love to him, we had to go. But we would be alone later. We would make love later. We had all the time in the world to do that.
“I love you,” I told him, feeling my heart race.
I loved him with every fiber of my body.
“Oh, I love you too, Angel,” he said and pressed his lips against mine.
