The Choice

Selena

It was getting dark by the time we got to a beautiful cabin at the base of the mountains. It must’ve snowed harder here since there’s a lot more snow here than back home. It’s a two-story cabin with a porch, made of a beautiful wood that wasn’t too dark or too light. Living room that had a fire going, warm blankets on the couch. Kitchen that was open with an island with beautiful butcher-block counters that match the wood in the house. I’m in such awe and I haven’t even seen the upstairs yet.

“You like it?” Kieran asks me with hopefulness in his voice.

“It’s beautiful! You’d come here with your family? And they’d actually want you to come?!” I ask him with excitement.

“Yeah…” He looks at me confused. I don’t think he fully comprehends my questions… we didn’t take a lot of family trips together. They’d go on trips… just without me.

“I bet it was a lot of fun!” I smile at the idea of enjoying time as a proper family. He shakes off the almost dark moment and gives me a hug.

“Let me show you around upstairs.” He takes my hand and smirks at me. I’ve learned that this smirk usually means he’s up to something.

“What are you up to?” I know he’s up to something I just don’t know what.

“Oh, the family came here early to help stock up on things. Food, drinks, fresh blankets, firewood for the fireplace, toiletries, things for the bedroom…” His voice trails off and I just chuckle.

“What kind of things?” I ask him curiously.

“You’ll see.” He just keeps his mischievous smirk. The upstairs was just as beautiful as downstairs! Peppermint and chocolate along with evergreen and bonfire scented candles to set the mood. Beautiful queen bed with some fresh deep red blankets and pillows, stone around the fireplace and jacuzzi tub, exposed beams and a skylight on the ceiling. All of this felt like a dream.

“This is beautiful!” I kept looking around the room in awe of it all.

“Glad you like it… now come here.” He grabs me by my waist and I squeal.

“Well, hi there.” I smile at him, and his eyes are just full of love.

“You’re all mine…” He growled into my ear and I just melted into him.

“Well, time for that shower.” I grabbed my festive body wash, candles to light around the bathroom, and started getting it warm. As I’m getting myself in a festive mood with my candles, I feel Kieran wrap his arms around me.

“So soft… I could just take you right now…” I lean back against his chest as he holds me and it never gets old. I’ll never tire of him sneaking up on me to hold me.

“Well, you could… I didn’t turn on the water yet…” I smirk at him as I kiss him as we make our way to the bedroom. He plops me on the bed and first just stares at his new bride’s naked body.

“Man… I’m a lucky man… I love you.” He kisses me and I wrap my arms around his neck.

“I love you too.” I kiss him back, and he kisses me down to my neck leaving a couple of hickeys, down to my chest.

“Oh, hun… don’t stop.” I moaned to him, and he smirks as he spreads my legs apart.

“Then this shall be fun… I believe you’re a little wet for me my luna… let’s see if I can remedy that…” He spread my legs and his fingers found their way to my wet core. I arch my back again and moan. It has been months since we’ve gotten intimate and boy does it show… we both know I’m right. I started panting hard, and I looked at him with lustful eyes.

“You wanna play that game huh… go ahead and play…” Kieran immediately kissed me and positioned himself between my legs. In one swift move, he eased himself on top of me. I screamed for a moment in pain but it suddenly went away and was replaced by the feeling of pleasure. This is my first time, outside my heat, being intimate with anyone so I don’t really know what I’m doing, but somehow he knows all the buttons to push on me. He continued to move on top of me and in the rhythm we eventually had it brought nothing but blissful pleasure. As he moved in on me, he showed me kisses. He dipped his nose onto my neck and inhaled my scent. I moaned and looked at him.

“Hmmm… you smell so delightful.” He tells me in a deep growl that I’m pretty sure was his wolf and not really him.

“I could say the same. Your woodsy scent is mixed with something I’m not sure what it is, but whatever it is… I like it.” I blush so hard I hid my face in a pillow near me. He hugs me and laughs as well. I lean into his chest and just get a huge whiff of him… his scent was like my own personal drug and I loved it… his hips start thrusting me giving me a mix of pain and pleasure. I pulled him down to me and kissed him as hard as I could. I moaned and screamed into his mouth as he kept thrusting me. “More, more…” I hissed at him, tossing my head back and I could feel myself getting wet… my whole body is shaking and I can hardly breathe… he bites my mark again and I just let out a loud moan. We clean off with a towel and I turn on my shower and light my candles as the smell of sex is getting mixed with Christmas tree and peppermint chocolate scented candles… I tried to clean off with my hot chocolate and cream body wash but Kieran made it a little more distracting since he joined me in the shower. Once we finally got clean, we talked about what to have for dinner. Because of a big New Year’s dinner at our reception, we figured something light and refreshing. Obviously, someone was here to stock up on food, non-alcoholic drinks, and harder drinks in the fridge.

I can hear more snow falling onto the windows and just enjoy each other’s company by watching “Holiday Inn”. He picked it out since I had never watched it before. It’s a comforting movie, and I liked it. We found some warm PJs to wear, some hot chocolate to drink and a warm blanket to snuggle in… this was only the first day of the honeymoon. I can only imagine what the rest of the week is going to be like!

Time jump to the end.

Well, it’s time to go back home and I’m excited to go back to our pack… our pack… sounds weird to my ears, but it’s mine. Kieran has loaded the suitcases and extra food and drinks onto the sleigh to bring back so it’s not wasted. I’m lost in my daydreams when my phone buzzes in my pocket.

Gwen: Hey Lena! Hope you had a wonderful honeymoon! Can’t wait to see you!

I smile at her message. I miss her sometimes, but I’m ready to be a luna. I’m ready to prove my worth.

Me: We had a great time! We’re loading up the sleigh to head back to the pack. I’m so excited to be luna… Kieran’s luna… this past week has been amazing, but I’m ready to head home… it feels weird to say, but I actually have a home that I’m looking forward to. I’ll see you soon Gwennie!

I put my phone back in my pocket and helped put the last of the bags on the sleigh. Kieran gives me a kiss on the cheek and helps me in.

“Ready to go, my luna?” He growled in my ear as he nibbled it. I moaned a little and melted into him.

“Almost… may need to check the bedroom to make sure we didn’t leave anything.” I smirked at him as he took my hand.

“Always good to double check.” We went back inside and while the downstairs was cleaned up and neat as we arrived…

“The bedroom is so dirty… we should fix that.” I smirked up at him. I could see his eyes change and his wolf was taking over. We spent about an hour… cleaning the bedroom before going back to the sleigh.

“Well, I think that was some good cleaning, but I’m ready to go home…” I smile at him endearingly and kiss his cheek. He helps me again onto the sleigh then himself and starts the travel home. I must’ve fallen asleep since I noticed we were close to home and a blanket was around me.

“Hey sleepyhead, we’re almost home.” I rub the sleep out of my eyes and realize that we’re in the forest near the packhouse.

“Home… that sounds nice.” I smile at the thought. Soon the packhouse is in sight and I can’t help but smile.

“Everyone is excited to see us.”

“Finally, a family who wants me.” I get more and more excited. I see his family and pack all cheering for us as the sleigh gets closer to the doors. I realize I see Gwen and Damian with his family!

“Oh Gwennie, it’s so good to see you! I didn’t know you were coming!” I hugged her so tightly that I thought our arms would be sore.

“I wanted to surprise you!” She smiled back at me and so did Damian. I hope he’s not like his father.

“It’s good to see you too, Damian.” I nod my head to him out of respect. He may be my brother-in-law, but he’s still a prince.

“Good to see you too, Selena.” He gave me a quick smile, but I’m not surprised.

“Come, let’s all go inside and we can welcome our new alpha and luna!” I hear Caroline scream happily to the crowd to try to give us some space to move. I give her a smile and she hugs me.

“Welcome home, sweetie.” Her hugs were always the best! Kieran politely asks some omegas to help with the leftover food and drinks from the cabin and to bring them in the kitchen. That way everyone can use some. We get inside and there’s a big party… for us! I’m not used to being the guest of honor. Everything is tastefully decorated! Garland is still up and a big welcome home sign above the dining room. I look around in awe as everyone is smiling at us.

“Surprise!” Everyone shouts at us and I couldn’t help but smile and laugh. It makes my heart swell with happiness and pride to know that my new family loves me as much as I love them. I look at Kieran with happy tears in my eyes as he wraps his arms around my waist.

“Thank you all so much! It makes this new transition with the leadership so much easier knowing that you all support us as your new alpha and luna. Now that we’re back we’ll get used to this new normal, but we’ll do it together. Now I see a large feast so let’s all dig into this delicious food and have a good time!” Kieran smiles at everyone and they all raise a glass to us. I wipe away my happy tears and go get some food. After a few hours of mingling with my pack as their luna I was getting tired.

“Ready to sleep in our own bed, my luna?” Kieran smiled at me as he grabbed my hand. I took his hand as we made our way to our room. I’m not sure why but being here as officially as alpha and luna just made it more real to me. Soon my phone buzzes again in my pocket and it jolts me awake a little.

Gwen: Do you mind having some sister talk before bed?

I smile at her message and type my message quickly.

Me: Sure of course! Let me tell Kieran since we were just about to go to bed.

G: Sure no problem! See you soon!

I put my phone back in my pocket and head towards the bathroom where Kieran is doing his nightly routine.

“Hey hun, Gwen wanted to talk before bed. I just wanted to let you know so you don’t wonder where I disappeared to.” I give him a quick peck on the cheek.

“Sure no problem, thanks for telling me.” He gives me a peck too as I change to my nightgown and head towards her room. I knock gently on her door not to wake Damian if he was asleep.

“Gwen, I’m here. You wanted to catch up?”

“Yeah, I’ll be right there!” I heard some shuffling around the room and something told me to run, but it was Gwen… my own sister. I could trust her. I text Kieran quickly my troubles.

Me: Kieran something doesn’t feel right! Help!

Before I could send the message I was hit with something and everything went dark…
