novelxo Chapter 37-Final
Song for final chapter:
Love Someone by Lukas Graham
***
The day had finally come. I was finally home and being introduced to Niall's Pack officially. I'd finally become the Luna I was
always destined to be, and lead with my mate.
After everything was settled in England, I promised not to be a stranger, but I knew I had to return home. The minute we were
home, Niall and I started getting ready for the Pack meeting. It wasn’t just me who was being introduced, but our new Beta as
well, Asia's mate.
It was a very exciting day, and though I'll surely miss my link with Brightwater Pack, I was more than happy that I'd finally be free
to live happily with Niall, now that everything was out and had been resolved.
My heart felt like it was soaring on the clouds on its way to a bright future, and I couldn’t wait to see what that future was.
"All ready?" a voice from the door called, and I immediately smiled up at Niall as I nodded once.
"More than you could ever know." I met him halfway as I wrapped my arms around his neck. I immediately reached up to connect
my lips to his, loving the instant feeling that took over my whole body.
This was happiness. This was peace.
"If we don’t stop, we might end up being late for that induction and pack meeting," Niall mumbled breathlessly against my lips
after our very long kiss.
I grinned against him, and as much as the idea of being a few minutes late to endorse in a few minutes of him sounded
appealing, I was simply itching to get through with this induction.
I allowed him to lead me to the living room where everyone was waiting. Jared was sharply dressed, despite the fact that we all
wore casual clothing, and I realized that Asia and James looked the same. I suddenly didn’t feel self-conscious about actually
dressing up. I did my hair surprisingly neat in a low bun, and my attire was quite different from my usual leggings and tank top.
I shot James a thumbs up across the room as I continued for the door, knowing he must've been a bit nervous.
After today, he was going to take the roll as Beta, with Asia as the female Beta at his side. I knew he was a natural though, and
Asia would show him the ropes, so he had nothing to worry about.
The Pack meeting was being held at the Pack House, since it had a backyard big enough to hold the hold Pack, and as Niall
said, it was where they held all their meetings.
The backyard was already full by the time we arrived, and I felt a little hint of nerves when I eyed the crowd. However, it
immediately subsided when I received adoring smiles the second a few eyes caught mine.
Niall's Pack members were absolutely golden, and that's why I adored them as much as they adored me.
I grew even more excited when I saw my family from Brightwater Pack waiting at the side of the stage. All ten of them really
drove all the way down here to see me, including Emily.
I wasted no time in engulfing each and everyone of them in hugs, accepting congratulations and expressing my gratitude and
love. I was especially grateful for Luka and Victoria. If it hadn’t been for them, I had no idea where I'd be.
Niall, Asia and Jared mounted the stairs to the stage, and the mumbling around the crowd immediately stopped as they gave
their attention to their leaders. As Niall did his formal greetings and some quick updates about the pack, I took the time to greet
Roxy and Ace too. They too had been a huge help, especially Roxy, and I wanted to show my appreciation.
Roxy even took a liking to James, and would always tease him about 'coming to Asia’s rescue' sooner.
I became alert when Niall started speaking about the inductions, and I couldn’t help the warmness in my tummy as they cheered
loudly when Niall spoke about introducing the Luna. He called for James and I , and I flashed my family and friends a quick smile
as we joined Niall on the stage.
I don’t think I've ever smiled this much in my whole life, but I wasn’t complaining. If you have something to be happy for, then be
happy.
"It is my complete pleasure to introduce James Simon, our new Beta wolf of Truemoon Pack," Niall said as James stepped
forward.
Asia beamed brightly as James shared a few words and a formal introduction. The pack already seemed to have loved him, so I
knew we all would get along quite well.
Niall then drew for a dagger, and I recognized this as the part where he would officially make him a member. They stared at each
other as they joined the right forearms.
"I Niall Wilson, Alpha of True moon Pack, welcome you , James Ross, into our pack to lead by my side as Beta. You are to love,
cherish and rule these people with dignity, wisdom, and perseverance until your heir is fit to take over your position."
James nodded once, since every wolf knew what to say after an Alpha welcomed them into his pack. "I accept," he said simply,
and Niall then drew a line in both of their hands with the pointy dagger, before mixing their blood.
James looked sad for a while as if he was in pain, but almost immediately, his eyes lit up when the new pack bond, as I
assumed, was formed. He beamed brightly as he joined an excited Asia and proud Jared a few feet away.
Niall then turned to me, and I knew it was my turn. I gulped, not feeling necessarily nervous, but anxious.
"As most of you already know, this is my mate, Zoey Boysen." He smiled proudly as he turned towards me. "Zoey?"
As always, it was our duty to give a formal introduction of ourselves, and so I did.
I didn’t bore them with my life story, and I didn’t try to make myself seem all high and mighty in their eyes. I simply told them a
little about myself, and I also told them that I was from Brightwater Pack.
I told them that I won't promise to be a perfect Luna, but I'll be the best one that I can. They are my people now, and I cherish
each and everyone of them. From the babies, to the elders, they are my people.
I stood before Niall with a never falling smile, and I could see that he was trying his best to stay serious.
My eyes quickly darted to my old pack members from Brightwater, and I knew this was the last time I'd have the opportunity to
mindlink them.
I shouted in their minds, obviously taking some of them by surprise. I stifled a giggle as they smiled at me.
this came from Ashley as she blew me a kiss, and a series of similar ones came from the others. I didn’t have a link to Victoria,
since she's human, but I surely had one with Luka.
I actually felt sad when I realized he wouldn’t be my Alpha anymore. When I'm sad, he won't be in my room to ask me why,
because he felt it and knew that I was.
But he smiled nonetheless, and he held tightly onto Victoria's hand as he said, ,
And just like that, I felt okay. I pushed through a final 'I love you' as I directed my attention back to Niall. I then knew that the
absence of my old pack wouldn’t be felt. I won't only have a new pack bond, but I'll always have my mate bond.
So whenever I'm having those sad days, I know, just know, that Niall will be right there to make it better.
This is my family now. This is my home.
"I, Niall Wilson, Alpha of Truemoon Pack, welcome you , Zoey Boysen, into our pack to lead by my side as Luna. You are to love,
cherish and rule these people with dignity, wisdom, and perseverance until our heir is fit to take over as leader of this pack."
I gazed straight in his eyes with a bright smile as I nodded. "I accept."
He returned my smile as he grabbed a clean dagger. He made a fresh slit in his palm and did the same with mine before joining
both the wounds to mix our bloods.
I gasped as I felt the bond to Brightwater Pack break, and I suddenly felt empty and void. But almost immediately, I was met with
a new, just as strong bond, and my mind was immediately flooded with hundreds of greetings and love messages from Niall's
pack member. Or should I say, our pack members.
It drew tears to my eyes as the voices finally subsided, and I knew for sure that I was officially a Truemoon Pack wolf.
"Luna Zoey," Niall announced, looking proud as ever as the crowd cheered and whistled in pure glee.
Yep. Definitely home.

"Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" Niall asked as he dragged the damp bath sponge over my shoulder. I shrugged
with a giggle.
"Maybe just about everyday," I admitted as I spun around in the tub so that I was facing him. I climbed onto his lap in a straddling
position as I sank my wet fingers in his silky hair.
He smiled up at me as he rubbed small circles in my back. He never knew what he did to me with those.
"I do?" He smirked, knowing damn well that he does. "Well maybe I do it because the words are so true. You're just so beautiful.
Inside and out. Exquisitely perfect."
My stomach erupted in butterflies as I bent down to quickly capture his lips. "Speak about yourself. You are a hundred percent
perfect. What have I ever done to deserve a mate like you?" I mumbled against his lips, not giving him a moment to reply, since I
instantly reconnected our lips.
I really had to wonder at times. Was the moon that good? To mate me with the perfect man for me? I knew there was absolutely
no one who could've been a better match.
Throughout everything that happened since my 18th birthday, Niall had been my rock, my strength, my peace and my happiness.
Despite the few bumps along the way, he was the only factor that drove me to complete success and content.
Surely, there isn’t any other bond like a mate bond, because it is truly the strongest bond of all. He's my heart, my joy and my life,
and I will never stop showing and telling him that, for as long as we live.
"Niall?" I mumbled breathlessly against him as I pulled away from the kiss.
"Yea?"
"Thank you."
"For what baby?" His voice sounded confused as he opened his eyes to gaze at me. I smiled down at him as I ran my thumb
over his cheek.
He wouldn't even begin to comprehend.
"For being there for me. For helping me and being my mate. I know it's an odd thing for a mate to say, but I wanted to."
His lips pulled into a gentle simper as he gazed at me with those love filled eyes, and stroked my back so delicately with his
teasing fingertips.
"You don’t have to say thank you, Zoey. You're my mate. I'd go to the moon and back for you," he whispered, holding me
impossibly closer. "Remember the very first promise I made to you?"
I nodded. I remembered it clearly. "You said you'll always make me happy." I blushed so greatly at the memory of when I saw him
that night at my birthday party. He sealed the deal with those very words.
"And I still mean it. Even though you know everything your heart desires and we can finally move on, I'll always make you happy,
Zoey. Always."
I resisted the urge to cry as I buried my nose in the base of his neck, taking in a large whiff of his intoxicating, calming scent. I
couldn’t wait to spend the rest of my life with him. I can't wait to bear his pups, and wake up everyday for the rest of my life in his
arms.
I can't wait to spend forever with my wonderful mate, who not just helped me find myself, but completed me too.
"I love you Niall Wilson." I didn’t have to say or do anything else, because I let my walls down completely, and showed him just
how much I really adored him.
His arms snaked tighter around my waist as he placed a lingering kiss to my shoulder.
"I love you too, Zoey. Forever."
The END.
