Max's POV-

Today is the day. Today is the day where I am introduced to the pack as Lucas's mate. And I'm freaking the fuck out! I don't know if I'm Luna, or Alpha material! I was trained to be a First Enchanter, not an Alpha or Luna for werewolves. But under all of the nerves, I was extatic! This would be a new experience for me, and I was up for the challenge. Lucas said he would help me get used to the role and show me the ropes, and I was extremely grateful for it. I'll need all the help I can get.

"Don't worry too much about this", Lucas said. "It's not like we're getting married! You're just being introduced as my mate." But that IS something to be worried about. What if the pack won't accept a male Luna? But more importantly, what if they don't accept a MAGE Luna? Magic is feard amongst many Supernatural types, and some don't take kindly to it. As I thought of all of these negative things, we were currently in our huge living space, standing just a few feet from the glass doors that went to the balcony. Looking outside where I would soon be introduced to the pack made all of those thoughts plague my mind, and I started to get even more nervous than before.

"Hey", Lucas said, softly into my ear. "They will accept you. And if they don't, who cares? You're a kind, sensitive, sarcastic, and sweet person. If they don't accept you, then that's their loss. But if they bad-mouth you, they'll have to deal with me."

"If it does come to that, just don't be too harsh", I said. "That would only make you look bad, and I don't want that for you. You're a great Alpha, don't let them think otherwise because of me." He blinked a few times, then smiled warmly at me.

"My title means nothing to me as long as I can have you", Lucas said sweetly. My face immediately went crimson red, knowing full well that he was telling the absolute truth.

"Fuck you", I said, hiding my blush. But of course, he noticed it. He snickered mischievously.

"I think that's supposed to be the other way around", Lucas chuckled, wiggling his eyebrows. My face went even more crimson.

"Damn you!" I exclaimed, even more embarrassed. Lucas only chuckled and turned my head, his eyes meeting mine.

"Don't hide your face from me", he said, his voice husky, filled with lust. His voice sent a shiver down my spine, and I had a very strong desire to submit to his gaze. He leaned down and began to attack my neck. He softly sucked at and bit at my neck, instantly finding my sweet spot. As he was attacking my neck, I was a moaning mess. He carefully picked me up, and slammed his lips onto mine. We kept making out as Lucas carried me to the bedroom.

He kicked the doors open and lightly tossed me onto the bed, and latched back onto my neck. Shit, this will leave a major hickey. But I didn't care, I loved this feeling! His crotch began rubbing against mine, causing extremely pleasurable friction. Lucas kept sucking an nipping at my neck. My moans slowly got louder, the the feeling of Lucas's teeth on my sweet spot, the friction from our crotches rubbing together, sent shivers and sparks of pleasure down my spine.

Lucas growled, lowly, lust-filled. He kept attacking my neck and rubbing our crotches together. But my eyes went wide when I felt how large he was under his pants. I started to slightly panic, and I thought to myself "This is too fast for me! I'm not ready!" Lucas was about to lift my shirt, and I almost broke down.

"L-Lucas, s-stop", I pleaded. "Stop!" He froze. He carefully raised himself off of me, and looked into my eyes, the lust in his slowly fading away, replacing it with concern.

"Are you alright?" Lucas asked. My eyes began to water.

"I'm s-sorry Lucas", I choked out. "B-But I'm n-not r-ready for s-somthing like th-that. I'm a h-horrible m-mate! I c-cant even mate w-with y-you yet." I covered my face with my hands, and silently wept. As I cried, I felt strong arms pull me close. I nuzzled myself into Lucas's chest, my sobs slowly ceasing.

"You are not a horrible mate!" he said firmly. "You're not ready, and that's okay! I can wait as long as you need me to. And don't apologize, you have nothing to say sorry about. I should be the one apologizing. I pushed you too far, and I should not have lost control like that." His words were truthful, but his tone was stern, yet gentle.

"You're the most important person in my life, and I'll be damned if I ever let you think that you are a horrible mate", Lucas continued. "I fell in love with you the moment I saw you, and I will continue to shower you with love and affection everyday until I'm 6 feet under and pushing up daisys." It was silent, but not at all awkward. Lucas's words touched my heart and soul. He had declared his love for for me, and was more than willing to wait for me to be comfortable before mating with me.

"What did I ever do to deserve you?" I mumbled into Lucas's chest. He laughed lightly.

"We might never know, but whatever the case was, our gods deemed us as perfect for each other, and I am eternally grateful to them for having you be the most important person in my life", he said, kissing my forehead. "And this isn't just the mate bond speaking. I would've fallen in love with you without it even being there. You're a very sweet, caring, super cute, honest, and kind person. It would have to take me being a fool to not fall for you without the mate bond. What I'm trying to say is that I love you Max, with or without the mate bond. If I wasn't a werewolf or any other type of Supernatural, and we knew each other, I would've loved you just as much as I do now. This might seem very quick, but everything that I'm saying is the complete and utter truth." I flung my arms around his neck, and hugged him fiercely, and buried my nose into the crook of his neck. He hugged me back and just held me, his face nestled into my hair.

"I love you too," I answered, sincerely. "Forever and always. With or without the mate bond." Lucas held me closer, and never let go, and I managed to snuggle closer to him. We both just said our first "I love yous", and it was amazing as hell to say them, as we both were telling the truth.

After a few minutes, Lucas asked if I was ready to meet the pack, but said didn't have to if I didn't feel like it after what happened a few minutes ago. But I was determined, and I said I was alright. He lifted me off of the bed, set my feet gently on the floor, and led me out of our room and back to the balcony doors. His eyes went pitch black for a few seconds, then they went back to their normal pretty blue. A few minutes later, around four or five hundred people were standing before the balcony. Lucas gave me a reassuring smile, then opened the doors to the balcony, and stepped outside.

"Everyone, I have a very special announcement to make to all of you", he said, his voice carrying all throughout the crowd. "We have a new addition to the pack. After long time of searching, I have finally found my beloved mate!" The crowd cheered, and shouted congratulations to Lucas, who had to quiet them down again.

"Now without anymore delay, let me introduce to you, my mate, your second Alpha" *he motioned me forward* "Maxwell Lavellen!" I slowly and nervously stepped through the doors, and stood next to Lucas on the balcony. Most of the crowd started to cheer and scream. Others looked shocked beyond belief. But a small few were mumbling, and sending barely noticeable disapproving looks our way. But that's their own opinion, and I honestly don't care what they think, as long as they don't cause trouble with mine and Lucas's relationship.

As the croud kept cheering, I smiled warmly at them. I glanced at Lucas, who was looking at me with pride and... love. I blushed a deep red and looked back to the crowd. Once they settled down, Lucas got their attention.

"We will be having a huge celebration over your new Alpha tomorrow night!" Lucas said. "Everyone in the pack is invited if they wish to come! It will start around 7pm, and preparations begin first thing in the morning! Thank you all for coming, and you are all dismissed."

The crowd dispersed, leaving Lucas and I alone on the balcony. He stepped closer to me, and wrapped one arm around my shoulders.

"So, how does it feel to finally be introduced to the pack?" he asked, planting a kiss on my forehead. I looked up at him, and gave him a wide grin.

"Honestly", I answered, looking into his eyes." It feels damn good." He grinned back.

"I'm glad you feel this way!" Lucas said. He pecked my lips, making my heart flutter. He turned to go back inside, but turned back to me, giving me a Cheshire Cat grin.

"Oh, and I love the hickey I gave you", he said sweetly and innocently. I blushed a deep red when I remembered the huge hickey he had given me! I had been introduced to the pack, and I had shown it off to everyone! And he didn't even warn me about it! The ass! Lucas laughed at my embarrassment and quickly ran off, a playful glint in his eyes. I sped after him, determined to catch him, the same playfulness in my eyes.

To be continued...
