The sun beamed in the room where Ivory was still asleep, but her mate was observing her. He had his arms wrapped tightly around her form to his chest. He felt content knowing that she is safe and happy with him. 

She started waking up from her sweet sleep and noticed buff tattooed arms around her waist. She smiled to herself and reached to put her arms on his. His hands were very rough, but Ivory loved when he would engulf her small hand in his big one. Both of them fit perfectly with each other.

"You awake?" Darius asked her while placing kisses on the back of her neck. It sent shivers down her spine, making him smirk when he noticed.

"Since when are you up?" She asked him.

"For a while now. You were snoring." He teased her making her blush.

"I don't snore. You're the one who does. Stupid man." She mumbled the last part. He smiled and kissed her cheek from behind. 

"I was kidding. You are a very pretty sleeper." He said. And she blushed again. Silence overflowed the room before Ivory asked the question that has been bothering her for a while.

"Darius, are you sure I'm going to be a good Luna? What if people hate me?" 

"Don't speak nonsense, Ivory. Everyone you met so far loves you, except my mom but I don't care. You're my mate and rightful Luna. I don't want you to doubt yourself. You're beautiful and kind. You have the biggest heart I have ever seen. You're perfect to be Luna." He reassured her. 

She turned around and buried her face in his chest. She felt emotional and happy at his words. Nobody reassured her that way as Darius did. 

"Thank you. Everybody speaks of you like a cold-hearted person when you're not. I thought you wouldn't even like me in the beginning." Ivory laughed.

"I am strict when it comes to my pack and training, but I do have feelings. They are just being stupid." Darius huffed. He didn't like how they talked to him to his mate, but he knew that sometimes he was cold to others. That changed when he met Ivory three weeks ago.

"You're very sweet like a baby bear." She teased him. 

"I'm not a baby nor am I a bear." He said. She giggled in his chest at his childlike behavior. 

"I'm going to shower." She pulled his arms from around her waist and stood up from the bed. Darius almost whined when she left his arms but contained from being a baby and buried his face in her pillow. Ivory almost laughed at him. It was funny to see a big bulky man covered with tattoos, sulking in the pillow.

She closed the door of the bathroom and hurried to take a shower so Darius could go after her. He also didn't like waiting to take a shower for too long. Even if he liked Ivory a lot, he hated it when she would stay in the bathroom for too long.

A sudden urge to pee brought him out of the bed. He didn't know if he should knock on the door as the water was running, but he couldn't hold it for too long.

He banged on the door making Ivory startled.
"I need to piss. Hurry out." He pleaded and hissed at the same time.

"You need to wait for a little bit longer." Ivory yelled teasing him. His eyes widened and he banged at the door harder.

"Ivory, please. I will come in. I can't hold it in."

She felt bad but she was still in the shower. Noticing that shower had frosted glass and she couldn't be seen. So he decided to let him in.

"Alright. You can come inside, but don't look." She called him.

He busted through the door and aimed at the toilet. He sighed once he released all the contents. Her eyes peered a bit through the frosted glass to see his head and the content look on his face.

"You're nasty, Darius. Couldn't wait until I finished." She mocked while rinsing herself.

"It was too much. If you were me, you would do the same." He said and finished his business. While washing his hands, he couldn't help but look at the frosted glass to see the outline of her body. He licked his lips as different thoughts ran through his head.

"I'll be waiting outside until you finish." He said and walked away from the bathroom. His manhood has gotten semi-hard and he wanted for it to go away or he would embarrass himself.

"I wish we can mark her as soon as possible." Toby sighed.

"I know. She is just so irresistible." Darius agreed.

"I love her, Darius. And I want to meet her wolf." Toby explained. He stopped his movements to process what Toby said. He loves her? But did Darius love her?

Sure, he was protective over her and wanted to keep her happy. Ivory has grown to his heart but did he actually love her?

All those feelings bottled up in him were giving only one answer. He loved her. Darius loved her too. Coming to that realization, a big grin broke on his face. He loved Ivory.

"I love her too, Toby." Darius admitted to him.

"Well, we need to find out if she loves us too? But don't pressure her in saying that." Toby warned.

"I won't." Darius promised.

Ivory finished her shower and got out of the bathroom with a robe on. She blushed when she saw how Darius ranked her from toes to head.

"Toby wants to meet Kira. Are you in for a run?" Darius suggested. Ivory was surprised but she accepted when she heard Kira in the back of her mind squealing in happiness.

"I'll just take your shirt since we are shifting." Ivory said. She rummaged through the closet while Darius got ready in the bathroom quickly.

Once they were both ready, they got to the backyard and shifted. Ivory's wolf was a beautiful silver with small flecks of brown color. Kira was standing tall and beautiful in the summer sun. Toby gawked at the beauty before him.

Kira shyly approached the black wolf who immediately nuzzled his head in her furry neck. He licked the tip of her nose and sweetly stared into her yellow eyes.

"I'm happy to finally meet you. Your fur is amazing, Toby." Kira squealed in the mind link between them.

"You are beautiful, my love. Do you want to run together?" Toby asked gently and she responded with the lick on his nose and took off running.

They both weren't out in a while due to circumstances on the human side of the world. They both looked free while running in the forest, through the trees. Kira was much more agitated than Toby but he liked her a lot.

Toby felt tired after a while because Kira wouldn't stop running around and chasing butterflies. They settled on the meadow where Toby sprawled his body on the soft grass.

Kira was chasing a little red butterfly around Toby. He watched her smaller form running around. He wanted her to finally lay beside him but she was too busy with other things.

"Kira, come here." Toby rumbled lowly. She stopped and stood in front of him in a matter of seconds.

"Why don't you play with me? The weather is perfect." She insisted but Toby wanted to rest with her.

"I know, love. But I want you to spend time with me." If wolves could blush, she would be a tomato right there. She complied and plopped her body next to him. He set his head on hers, enjoying her company.

"That's a good girl."
