Is this my happy ever after?

New Years Eve approached quickly. I never really took much notice of the new year. People say it's an opportunity to start again, a clean slate and everyone makes a big deal about their resolutions for the new year. In my opinion it is just a way for people to accept that they failed this year and can make amends in the next. It's a vicious cycle but it's something that gives hope, plus it's an excuse to party.

I woke up, entangled in Luke's arms once again. I realised that this is my happy place. The place where i'm not a marine or a Luna, the place where Luke doesn't have to be tough. When we're alone, lying in bed we can be weak. He shows emotion and he actually opens up. It is something I am grateful of. Lying in bed we have no worries, pack business is left at the door. We are just a couple in love. We are happy.

I shifted slightly to look at Luke. He was exhausted last night. After my little stunt at the Alpha meeting, the other packs seemed to become fascinated by us. Some claimed I was out of control. Some said Luke was whipped, allowing his Luna to run the pack. However most agreed that I was different, I was setting an example. I did not abide by their rules which some frowned upon. I did not bend to fit into the stereotypical role of a human mate. I would not sit back and look pretty. I injected myself into pack business trying to ease the weight off Luke's shoulders. I continued to train the pack and am even taking a first aid course to assist the pack doctor. I refused to have a maid or make people bow for me. I went by Alex not Luna.

I am making my own rules. This grabbed the attention of many packs. They began visiting frequently, requesting meetings. Pack relations are better than they've ever been. Although this became bittersweet. It meant Luke had a lot more work to do. Work that required him to interact with people, go on trips and spend most of his time in his office. However, true to my reputation, I did not let him do this alone. I was at every meeting, I went to his office to ensure he took breaks. I trained the pack but we still met for breakfast, lunch and dinner regardless of what was going on, and we slept in the same bed every night.

Yesterday had been hectic, with mountains of paperwork to get through and multiple meetings we had barely seen each other. Everything was squashed into one day in anticipation of today. We had a rule, like any working job we would take holidays off. Remembering this I smiled, today Luke is all mine.

I lightly placed my hands on his chest. Slightly pushing myself off of him, somehow whilst thinking I instinctively curled into his chest, listening to the soothing rhythm of his heart beat. Smiling, I bit back a laugh as a small whine slipped passed his lips when the cold air hit his now bare chest. I took in his features. His strong jawline that could cut steel and his plump lips that spent too much of their time pursed in a thin line. His dark hair is ruffled and flattened, now framing his face. The light accentuated his features, the small dip in his nose now visible as a shadow cast on it. It was the result of a bar fight, the big bad alpha got a bit too drunk and stumbled into the wrong guy. But in his words, "you should have seen the other guy".

Once again I found myself lost in my own thoughts. My fingers mindlessly running over his chest. I hadn't even realised that now Luke was the one doing the staring. His gruff morning voice caught my attention.

"Morning princess" he leaned down and kissed my forehead.

All the butterflies came alive, I would never get used to that. The love, the affection, will always be strange to me.

Ten minutes later we were up and dressed. It may only be 7am but there is no time to sleep. As suspected I am the first one up and dressed. Seeing as it's the first day off that they've had since the meeting I decided to be an amazing Luna and friend. I started making them breakfast. I put my hair in a bun and washed my hands.....I know where they've been. With the radio blasting behind me I hummed along, frying the eggs and checking on the bacon. I rested my hand on the counter, on my tippy toes I did my best to reach the plates. Under my breath I was cursing them, not everyone is six foot tall.

Pinned against the counter I was caught off guard and let out a yelp as I placed both hands on the counter to steady myself. A big hand encircled my waist, as I felt soft kisses being placed along my exposed neck.

"Now, now, now that's no way for a young lady to be talking".

Of course with werewolf hearing Luke heard everything, his voice clearly portraying his amusement. Spinning in his grasp I tilted my head to glare at him.

"oh bite me".

Luke's tongue darted out of his mouth as he licked his lips, no longer making eye contact. He was focused on one thing only. He smirked before he lowered his head. His breath tickling my ear "be careful what you wish for".

Next thing I know he's sucking and tugging at my neck, working his way down to my mark. He halted, obviously teasing me. He kissed around my mark, lingering over it but never giving me the pleasure that I desired. I couldn't take it any more. I laced my fingers through his hair and pulled him into me. Finally his lips made contact with my mark. I stifled a moan. Luke's arms traveled around my body. Memorizing every part of me like he always did.

Luke lifted his head "can't I just have you for breakfast?" and winked at me.

Shocked at his blatantly dirty statement, I stood there both eyes and mouth opened wide.

"Princess i'd advice you to close your mouth or I might just give you something to wrap it around" Luke slapped my ass as he chuckled.

"You need jesus" was my only reply.

Horny, Horny, Hot Luke. I turned around to tend to the breakfast.

"No baby I just need you."

As he spoke his arms slipped around my waist and traveled down my hips, touching my thighs he made his way up.

"Fuck" he breathed, almost groaned.

"You know I find it so fucking hot when you're wet babe." He continued to tease me, my breath hitching in my throat as I tried to appear unphased.

"Come on princess, let me spread your legs. I'll make you scream my name all night long......again."

I can't think properly. I dropped my head onto his shoulder and leaned into his hold. Luke growled, satisfied. I couldn't resist his touch and he knows that. Suddenly remembering the oven is on I snapped out of my daze and pushed his arms off me. Quickly saving the eggs, like a mad woman I dashed around the kitchen. Attempting to hide my blush I kept my head down, I hate when Luke does this to me.

"Horny git, horny sexy git" Luke chuckled as he leaned over me to snatch a piece of bacon off the tray.

"ah but i'm your horny, sexy git".

I plated up the breakfast and called for the others to join us. With werewolf speed it didn't take long before the kitchen door burst open. Zach is grinning from ear to ear with his eyes set on the bacon but he stops, making Bonnie and Aaron crash into him. Shriveling his nose in disgust he looked at us horrified.

"Oh you didn't!" Confused I just stared at him.

"It smells like sex in here" Luke smirked and I just nervously laughed it off

"I have no clue what you're talking about". Zach quickly picked up his plate and legged it out of the room. Bonnie and Aaron followed suit. Bonnie leaned into me and whispered in my ear "next time hide the hickey's sweetie pie".

I blushed furiously as my hands immediately went to my neck. Luke strolled over and wrapped his arms around me as I hit his chest, but I couldn't help but chuckle myself.

The day went by really quickly. We did absolutely nothing. We watched TV, we played video games, we cleaned the house and we talked. At 8 o'clock I had the sudden urge to cause mischief. While the boys were preoccupied with an intense game of fifa I dragged Bonnie upstairs. Rooting through my wardrobe I came across exactly what I was looking for. I put the garments in Bonnie's hand and shoved her into the bathroom. I wasted no time in waiting for her to change as I changed in the room. Bonnie stepped out in the amazing purple bikini that I had given her. She stood their questioning me, "we're going swimming".

She stared at me shocked.

"It's absolutely freezing, we'll get hypothermia!" She always was such a drama queen.

I shrugged and made my way out of the room, Bonnie followed behind. Making a run for it, it suddenly became a race. The cold air hit me like a brick wall but I pushed through the cold. Together we jumped into the water, screaming as the icy water rushed around us.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?" we surfaced to find three very pissed off males. Lifting my arm up I splashed them.

"Having fun, join us".

None of them moved so I huffed.

"Fine then help me out." Luke eyed me wearily, he didn't move but foolish Zach did.

A he gripped on my hand to hoist me up I used all my strength to pull him into the water. He landed with a big splash. I couldn't contain my laughter. The boys joined not long after. We spent two hours just messing around in the pool.

Luke now has me pinned against the pool wall. His werewolf heat coming in handy, because now it is absolutely freezing. With his arms wrapped around me he kept me warm.

"You look amazing in that bikini, it doesn't leave much to the imagination. Not really helping me right now".

I giggled, Luke is struggling right now and I can't resist the urge to get my own back. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. I pulled him as close to me as I could. I could now feel exactly how hard it is for him to hold on to that last bit of self control. I began to move my hips and kissed along his neck until I reached his ear. I then let out a low, soft moan. That's when he lost control.

Acting quickly I placed my hands on his shoulders and with all my might, shoved Luke under the water. Moving as fast as my legs would take me I swam to the steps and climbed out of the pool. Luke burst through the surface like Wolverine in the X-Men, frantically looking for me. I whistled and he looked up. I had his clothes bundled in my arms as I shouted out to him

"you looked like you needed a cool dip".

I blew him a kiss and then ran. I ran as fast as I could into the forest. After a while my legs begged me to stop but I powered through it. I was in the clear, at least I thought I was until I was tackled to the ground. He had found me. Of course he did.

Something hot and wet rubbed against my face. Immediately my mind went to the gutter but I looked up to see him giving me a wolfy grin. Oh no he didn't. "EWWWWWWW I said no wolf liking me. It's gross!"

He backed off me and as I stood to my feet he shifted. I rummaged through the bundle in my hand and threw his boxers at him. He's lucky he didn't go commando today. "You're such a little mynx".

I laughed, "I have to keep things interesting somehow. wouldn't want you getting bored now would we."

He simply shook his head "I could NEVER get bored of you, you're full of surprises."

Luke nervously looked at my hands.

"Uh can I have my pants?" suspicious I raised my eyebrows.

Luke has never willingly requested to put on more clothing.

"Hey it's cold, don't judge me." I shrugged it off,

"I can tell"

I winked looking down at his boxers. He shook his head, also laughing at me. I passed him his pants, simultaneously I put on his shirt so I wouldn't get pneumonia.

He fell into step along side me as I began to walk. "We should get home". He agreed and pulled me close. We took off.

We walked and walked. My feet began hurting as I felt the blisters forming. I couldn't take it anymore, I turned to him

"do you know where we're going or what?" I snapped.

Luke stared at me dumbfounded "I thought you knew where you were going!" now it was my turn to look dumbfounded.

"Why on earth would you presume I knew where I was going?"

"Because you're the one who started walking this way"

"Yeah, waiting for you to direct me and take us home"

"well you never said that"

"I wasn't aware I had to tell you to make sure we don't get lost"

"well you only have yourself to blame for this" I turned to face him. He did NOT just go there.

"Don't you dare try and blame me"

"I'm not trying, I am"

"Do not test me Luke. I am tired, hungry and fed up."

"And you think i'm dandy?" I glared at him, "asshole"

He huffed, "this wouldn't have happened if you didn't go running off into the woods"

"Will you just shut up and get us home"

"I can't"

"What do you mean you fucking can't" he seemed uphased by my icy glare.

"We're lost"

"We are not lost"

"Yes we are"

"You are the fucking Alpha, you know these woods better than anyone now get. me. home!"

"Will you just shut up for one god damn second"

I had to bite my tongue, "what the fuck did you just say to me"

"reign in the psycho bitch"

"did you just call me a bitch?" My fist curled into a ball as I so desperately wanted to take a swing at him. Luke pinned me to the closest tree as he lost it.

"Yes I just fucking called you a bitch. I have been very patient with you but you are testing me. I am trying."

"Trying" I mocked him in a deep voice. "Fine i'll make my own way home"

"wha-"

"No don't worry, i'll get out of your hair Luke."

"That's not what I sai-"

"Yes it is"

"No it isn'-"

"whatever Luke, I don't care."

"Well I fucking do."

"Do you Luke, do you really? Because you could have fooled me." I have no clue what i'm saying, i'm just pissed off with him.

"Jesus Christ Alexandria shut up and let me think"

"Oh is that what you want? A pretty faced, submissive mate?"

"No-"

"Oh no Luke that's fine, i'll remember my place is in the fucking kitchen."

"Alexandria you are over reacting."

"Stop fucking calling me that"

"Stop cursing at me and lower your god damn voice it is late."

"Don't you dare try to fucking control me you narcissistic asshole. I will do whatever the fucking hell I want to ok. If I want to shout from the top of my lungs I will fucking do that regardless of what you want you arrogant prick. I am my own person, you do not fucking own me. I owe you shit, I do not need your permission and if you think I do then I sure as hell do not need you in my fucking life you hear me you self absorbed, pig headed cun-"

"Marry me" I froze. His voice so low I almost missed it.

"Wh-what?" I am shaking. Luke held me against a tree and move his hand from his pocket, revealing a little black velvet box. He took a step back and got down on one knee, he only said two words

"Marry me"
