The Luna Warrior

Christmas Eve

Camilla POV

It’s been a couple months since Lucian told Milo that he will have me one day. I have nightmares about it sometimes but Milo is always there to calm me down and comfort me. Thankfully we haven’t heard anything from Lucian since. My relationship with Milo has been amazing. We grow closer and more in love with each other every passing day.

I have become more acquainted with Milo’s mother Eleanor and and his sister Sky. Sky and I are around the same age so she is super easy to get along with and connect with. Eleanor treats me like her second daughter which brings weakness to my heart. At times her motherly ways make me sad I never got to have my mother but I know she is always watching over me.

I am also even getting a hang on my future Queen duties and getting stronger with my magic. I have learned to teleport objects, control earth’s elements, cloak, and energy protection. Milo is super impressed on how I am handling my magic and now incorporating in my training in private.

The pack house has been very busy with getting ready for Christmas. Being the future Queen I got to choose all the decorations. Milo has seen how much of a Christmas freak I am when I had the house decorated November 1. He called me ‘Christmaszilla’ which I couldn’t help but laugh about. There is a Christmas tree in almost every room of the pack house and the decorations in the village resemble Santa’s village you see on tv.

Getting the pack ready for Christmas has been a journey in itself. Christmas is an extravaganza around here. Thankfully, Eleanor, Sky, Millie, Jane, and Aria have been pitching in to help me make it all possible. I have a million things on my to do list for today so Milo has offered to pick my father and brother up from the airport. Thank the Moon Goddess for that man.

Alpha King Milo POV

I insisted on picking Camilla’s father and brother up from the airport without Camilla so I could talk to them alone. On Thanksgiving when the cliche question of ‘What are you thankful for’ came up I really got me thinking. The first thing I automatically thought of was my sweet Camilla.

How I would do anything in this world for her and to protect her. She is the love of my life. My mate. My forever. I realized I wanted to ask Camilla to marry me. I wanted to marry her in front of the world and mark her for all to see. I’m proud of my future Queen. She is remarkable.

I had arranged for Hunter to have the cafe in the village closed so that I could chat with Alpha Jack and Kane in private. As we wait for the waitress to bring us our coffees Alpha Jack and Kane question me on how Camilla is adjusting. Last time Camilla and I saw them both was when we left for my pack two months ago. So, they have lots of questions.

Soon the waitress saves me from the hundreds of questions being thrown in my direction. She brings our coffees and gets everyone’s order. When she walks away I know now is time to ask.

“Alpha Jack, Kane, I love Camilla, she is my mate, she is my life. I’m asking for your blessing to ask Camilla to marry me.” They both sit there for a second before a grin appears on both of their faces.

“Of course, you may marry my daughter. As long as you love her, keep her happy, and protect her. Or I will you myself, boy” Alpha Jack says shaking my hand.

“I can’t wait to have the Alpha King as my brother-in-law.” Kane says coming in for a bro hug.

I’m relieved that they were both happy about me wanting ti marry Camilla. It made me even more excited to ask her. I’m going to ask her tomorrow morning. The Christmaszilla will never forget this Christmas.

I had an oval princess cut diamond made with a diamond encrusted band. I had to pull a few strings to get such an extravagant ring made in less than a month. The excitement in me was rising thinking about the ring in Camilla’s finger. Grayson was running in circles in my head thinking about it too.

As everyone is finishing their good Alpha Jack places two rings in front of me. One ring has a platinum band and a large rectangle emerald in the center of it. The other is just a band with diamonds encrusted all throughout the circumference.

“This was Luna Fiona’s engagement and wedding band. I think Camilla should have it as she obviously is an exact copy of my late wife.” Alpha Jack says with tears in his eyes. Kane pats his dad on the back to comfort him. I don’t tell him I already have a ring but I think Camilla will appreciate her mother’s rings more. I take the rings and slide them into my pocket.

After I have paid the bill I take Alpha Jack and Kane to the pack house. The outside of the pack house looks like freaking candy land from all of Camilla’s decorations. It’s nice to see this place so cheerful and jolly though.

Once inside Samson shows our guest to their rooms and I go to switch out the engagement ring I bought with Camilla’s mother’s ring. I don’t really know what to do with this enormous diamond ring now. I lock both rings back up in my safe after I’ve switched them out in the ring box.

Throughout the night we sing Christmas carols, watch Christmas movies, eat a fantastic feast, and open up some presents. Camilla even has her and I in matching Christmas pajamas. Not something I thought I’d ever wear. They have Christmas gnomes printed on them. They aren’t overly cheesy though which makes me feel better about wearing them in front of the family.

Soon I whisk Camilla to bed after she has fallen asleep on me while watching Elf. She looks so happy and content as she sleeps. I place her in our bed and kiss her on the forehead. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow. She just doesn’t know her. As I lay down beside her the excitement of what is to come tomorrow makes it hard for me to sleep. Tomorrow I am going to be the happiest and luckiest man in the world.
