=Eloise=

As My arms wrapped around Rocco's middle I tilted my helmet covered head to the side and closed my eyes so that I could relive tonight's events.

The stirring between my legs began to come alive once more as I recalled how expertly Rocco had handled me.

True this wasn't our first time having sex.

But this was more.

Tonight was more calculated, more drawn out and prolonged...his touches lingered, his thrusts were deeper, his kisses more passionate than ever before, and as I found my climax my handsome mate bit down into the crook of my neck and released me into complete euphoria unlike one I have never known.

The thought alone had me panting as I had grown aroused once more.

Rocco must've sensed my carnal want for him as he carefully stroked one of my hands as he drove onward.

When we reached the field he gallantly helped me off of his bike before removing my helmet.

"Later My Heart." He sounded with a knowing smirk meant only for me.

But I craved him so much.

He bent down and kissed me deeply.

"We have a party we need to attend." He gently reminded me before placing one more kiss upon my lips.

A few people approached us after that, I smiled and made light conversation but they were mostly guys wanting to talk about business.

"If you don't mind," I sounded politely. "I'm going to look around for Clem and Belinda."

Rocco nodded and I soon left his side.

As I wandered about the field a little I pulled out my phone ready to text her, but it seems that she had found me before I had even seen her.

"Lou!"

I turned to find her standing near the outskirts of the field.

I waved back at her and jogged a little to reach her.

"Clem," I said as I hugged her. "I'm so happy you're here, where are the girls at?" I asked as I looked around and couldn't see either Belinda or Megan.

"Belinda saw a guy from her study group so she's with him...do you even have to ask about Meg?" She finished with a slight chuckle.

"So, congrats on the marking then..." she said as she eyed my fresh mark. "I guess you're officially the Luna of Springwell pack now?"

I shrugged. "Yeah, we had the presenting earlier too."

She nodded, "I'm glad to here it Lou...as my friend I only want your happiness-"

"Thanks Clem."

She held up her hands, "that's why I brought someone here tonight, you really need to talk to them...I know in the end you'll be happy."

I was confused.

Then out of the shadows of the trees that stood off to our right walked out Juliette.

"Jules!"

"Hey Eloise." She said with a sad sort of smile.

I didn't hold back as I stepped forward and hugged her.

I turned to thank Clem for bringing my sister here tonight but she had already begun walking back towards the field leaving Juliette and I alone.

"...I'm so sorry Eloise."

"Sorry for what?" I asked.

"Sorry for everything " Juliette said softly. "I should have told you from the very beginning about the Weres, I should have been there for you more, I'm sorry I refused to hear you out and tried to force you to stay."

I shook my head, "Jules none of that matters to me now...honestly...what's done is done and I am so happy in my life and knowing you're here now just made everything a thousand times better."

We talked a bit amongst ourselves Edie's I had to ask.

"So how are things going with you and Dorian?"

She sighed and shook her head, "I've completely removed myself from that equation...Dorian knows that if he wants me as a mate then things will have to change between us, for that I thank you...never did I ever think to question the way things were."

"I'm sorry." I said now. "It was never my intention to come and ruin your relationship more less your whole life."

She shrugged, "I'm beginning to question if it was a life worth living now...sure I had Dorian to some extent but I was basically his shadow, moving and acting when he wanted me to, and never speaking." She said before she told admitted to everything.

How his parents hated her, why they hated her and how she went off on all of them.

I felt horrible for her.

"If you need a place to stay-"

"I'm fine, I'm no longer in the apartment by choice...it's his building so I moved to the city, I was staying in a hotel for a while but now I'm roommates with Clementine at her apartment." She sounded much better off.

"I know this can't be easy."

"It isn't...but I'm glad to have myself back." She said honestly.

"And I'm glad to hear it, I've missed my big sis." I said before I pulled her into another tight hug. "Since you're here, there's someone I'd like to introduce you to."

Together we walked hand in hand in search of my mate.

"Have I told you how hot you look Jules?" I asked.

She laughed heartily, "I feel ridiculous."

"Well I'm serious, be careful around these un-mated males...you my find yourself going home with one of them."

Her eyes grew wide, "I have a mate." She sounded.

"Yes, but none of that matters if you haven't been marked.

She looked worried now.

I know my sister wouldn't want the sympathy but I couldn't help but feel for my sister and how little she truly knew of the Were protocols and traditions and laws.

"Hey...since you're doing your own thing now until Dorian realizes how much of an idiot he's been...I'd like to also invite you over for breakfast or lunch during the week." I said.

"Oh I'd love that Eloise, but are you sure it'd be okay?" She asked worried.

And I knew why she was worried, Dorian had placed an order on his ps k members not to allow outsiders into their town without his prior knowledge (and approval).

"Jules you are my sister so where ever I go, you will always be allowed...second, I'm the Luna of this pack so I can't imagine anyone would try and stop me from inviting my
Own sister to our pack."

She smiled, "thanks Eloise."

"Honestly I'd love for you to meet Diane, Rocco's mom...she would love you and If it's something you think you might be interested in I know she wouldn't mind if you joined me for Luna Lessons."

"I don't know Eloise...that seems like it's a private thing."

I shook my head, "Juliette you were always meant to be a Luna, and right now your mate is being stubborn which isn't a huge surprise because he's an Alpha and you probably bruised his ego."

She rolled her eyes and I smirked.

"Anyways," I said and continued. "One day you will take on that Luna role that was always suppose to be yours and this time I want you fully prepared...you show those jackasses who tried to keep you in the dark that you were made to be the Luna of Harmond."

I could see she was taking in my words just as we finally reached Rocco and upon seeing me he excused himself from the group he was with.

"Ladies." He sounded upon approaching us.

"Rocco," I smiled. "I'd like to introduce you to someone, My Alpha this is my sister, Juliette."

She smiled nervously and bowed her head, "Alpha Wylde."

He nodded his head politely "Luna-To-Be, Juliette Hart...it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance...I assume Alpha Travers-"

"Doesn't know I'm here, we aren't speaking at the moment." She acknowledged bleakly.

Once again he nodded this time a lot more sympathetically, "I'm truly sorry to hear that, despite our differences I can't imagine being away from your mate is easy or wise."

"Well it's a choice he made due to his own actions or lack thereof really... but it is what it is."

"And one I'm sure he's regretting with ever passing moment... regardless I can honestly say I am very glad you're here especially tonight...to see My Heart so happy fills me with elations, so thank you for coming out Juliette, you don't know how much this means to the both of us."

Juliette smiled a much more natural smile, the kindness behind it went up to her eyes, "I'm glad my sister is safe and happy...I can only hope that one day Dorian can see reason."

"Until then you are most welcome on our lands at your own leisure." He sounded gracefully. "As anyone here will tell you, Springwell is open for anyone, at anytime, from anywhere."

The night pressed on and came to a close.

As I stood in between my mate and my sister we all watched a spectacular fireworks display, afterward the crowds started to dispense...but of course there was always those few that like to linger just a bit longer.

"I should go and find Clementine, I'm sure I've kept her here longer than she may have initially wanted to stay." Juliette spoke up.

"You could always stay the night, and I can take you back into the city tomorrow." I said selfishly, I had just gotten my sister back and I wasn't ready to let her go.

"Fine but how will I get to your place?" She asked.

"Eloise will ride with me, and I'll have one of my best men bring you to our pack house." Rocco stated.

I could see she was ready to protest against getting onto a motorcycle much less with a guy she doesn't even know.

"That's settled then." I said as I looked around the grounds for a guy I knew wouldn't disrespect my sister. "Oh you can ride with Rocco's cousin, Dylan."
