Luka (Moroz Brothers Book 2) [COMPELTE]

LUKA 3

I hated lying about my name.... But these people, they didn't step on eggshells around me. I hated lying to my own mate. I shouldn't have. But I can set that right when we get to her place. I had grabbed my bags and happily walked side by side with her hand tightly in mine while I have my duffle bag in my other hand.

Sooner than I would like we were going around a bend and a small, couldn't be more than one bedroom, cabin came into view. "I know it is small compared to my families, but I didn't have anyone to share it with." She said and I turn and beam down at her.

"It's perfect." I told her... at least for the next couple weeks.

"Well come on." She said and I followed her. Looking her small frame up and down I smiled at her pale skin almost as snow white as the actual snow under our feet. Her hair was a dark brown, her eyes a bright green, and she was already making this vacation the best thing I have ever done.

Who would have thought a small vacation would lead me to my mate. I followed her until she was pushing her door open from the frost going up and down the door jam. I pushed with her and it gave instantly. She giggled as she almost slipped when she looked back towards me.

I smiled again, feeling my cheeks slightly hurting from it, before she grabbed my coat and pulled me in with her. Instantly the heat of the fire that must have still been going hit me. I kicked the door shut with my foot before setting my bag down.

"Wow, you're huge." She said and I laughed before she blushed. "I just meant that you make my home feel so small."

"I think it feels more comfortable... I grew up in a huge house.." Another lie. "I like small places. Less places to be spaced out in." I said the truth now, knowing I didn't want to be more than a few feet from her right now.

My wolf was ecstatic, he was pacing and wanting to join, to mate, to mark. But I wouldn't unless I see all the signs from her. Unless the words fell from her lips.

"Well, this is where I got to move in when I was 18." She told me and she started to work her fingers, I could hear the little cracks and I just nodded before going to step forward.

"Shall I put my things in a specific place?" I asked and she nodded and turned, pushing open doors I would have guessed were to the pantry, but it really opened up to her bedroom. There was a small bed, a nice sized dresser with a medium TV on it and she had a small mirror next to some makeup I saw spaced out.

I nodded slowly as I looked around and she moved to pull the blankets up since she hadn't made her bed this morning. I set my suitcase at the foot of the bed, getting my smaller bag on the bed and she looked around again slowly.

"So... we can get something to snack on after the run. I am usually staving after we run... are you?" She asked and gulped and looked around. 

"Don't take this the wrong way Violet, but I don't understand why you seem so nervous. If it is me... I can leave, work up to all of this?" I offered with a hint of a question and she had a huge intake of breath before she shook her head.

"No. it's nothing like that. I just have brothers, and I have sisters, and they tell me about their first times and their mates and the slight pain and everything on their first night and I really wasn't expecting this today, well granted no one is really expecting the day they meet their mate." She was rambling again and I let her slowly go on until I could stand right in front of her and had her head looking up at me.

"We don't have to do anything. No claiming, no s*x, nothing. I am in no rush, I do not want to rush you. We have just met, we can do as the humans do and date before we do anything in bed. If you want more room I can go back to the hotel. I have no qualms about giving you your space." I told her and she nodded slowly and worked at her fingers before looking back up with a more determined look in her eye.

"I don't want you to go. I just... I am very nervous about what comes after we find each other. With your good looks you've probably had a lot of women throw themselves at you and you know what you like in bed already and-" 

I lifted my finger and placed it on her lips and shook my head slowly. "I have never had a woman. I am a virgin, just as you are. My mother, before she died, she always told me that if a woman waits for her mate, then a man should as well. So I have." I told her and she gulped and nodded again slowly before a small smile spread on her face.

"Ok." She took a deeper breath as she turned and looked. "If that is true, and there is no pressure I am just over thinking and a run really will help me. I can change in the bathroom and you can change out here." She suggested and I nodded as she moved to the small bathroom at the back of her bedroom.

I cracked my neck, my knuckles, and shifted around until I was naked. As soon as I was ready I shifted into my wolf... I might have been the youngest in my family but I was also the biggest. I had a good 5 inches of height to my brothers, even Vlad, and when I ran I was always the fastest.

The only thing that I hated was how easy I lost control in my wolf form. I had tried one winter to be a wolf for weeks, and our uncle hated that I asked it of my brothers but they fought me when I was 17 and lost. Each and every time. I only ever beat them in my wolf form. When I was human I would fall on my ass 2 minutes into a match of boxing or hand to hand... whatever they wanted to try and train me in.

I was their secret wolf weapon. It really helped when we were in America a few months ago and we were all held captive, but before that it was just a hazard.

I was in wolf form laying at the foot of the bed next to my suitcase when I heard the door behind me open. I turned my big head and saw her coming out in a very small robe and she smiled softly.

"We need to open the door." She told me softly and I just nodded and got up after her. My wolf pushed to scent her, so I ran my nose up the back of her leg until I hit her knee and she squealed saying how it was cold.

I should have told her that I didn't have a whole lot of control over my wolf, but I knew that I would not hurt her, or her family. She opened the door and I trotted out and looked around as if someone was going to spot us in the thick trees and snow.

I listened as she closed the door to her little home and I waited until I felt her brush against my. I turned my eyes to her and saw a pure brown wolf, the same color as her hair, with dark black streaks around her eyes like she was earing that makeup stuff around her eyes and she pulled her lips back as if she was going to pant, but she just smiled in her wolf form at me.

Her small head barely came up to my neck, but as she scented me she pushed herself up so rub all the way around me.

I was giving her small licks over her fur so she would also smell just as much like me and then she pushed up against my side as she turned around and then she took off at a slow run up the mountain.

I followed, keeping her pace so when she turned a certain way I would follow without having to makeup space. I smelled her family close by, we might have been meeting up with them but we kind of also kept our distance on the run.

We were getting higher and higher and she was starting to lose her breath so we strolled up slower as the sky got darker. I could see everything perfectly.

This high up with minimal lights bugging our eyes we could see the stars, it was a clear night with few clouds rolling in. I sat when she started to pant harder and she sank into the snow a bit more and she started a howl. I looked down at her as she finished her first key and then when she went for another head throwing howl I joined her.

There was something about singing in wolf form, the howling. We were making music for the Great Luna. Some did it out of sorrow when they missed their loved ones, some did it out of happiness when they find their mates, or they have good news that the Luna has blessed them with. Some use it as just signs that they are worshiping.

For me, tonight, I was celebrating.

The great Luna had given me my mate at last. I had found her, and while there was that thought in the back of my head that I had already f****d everything up by lying about my last name... there was still immense happiness that I had found her at last.

We stayed out there until the early hours of the morning. Howling, chasing each other down the hill, getting back to her house just in time as it started to snow. She shifted first and I made sure to turn my back as she got her robe back on and opened the door. I saw her shift like she was uncomfortable and then I noticed why.

There was a cake on her counter, and condoms on the bed and flower petals added there as well.

"Well, good to know my mom still has her emergency key out in the open." She sighed as she laughed lightly as well and I went to grab my clothes I had taken off. I tried to get into the bathroom but there was no way I would fit so I kind of just turned to look at her. "Right... you change I will clean up." She told me and she shifted places with me as she went into the bathroom and I was left to move things away from the bed as I pulled on my used clothes from before. Once I was dressed I opened my suitcase and looked for sweats and a t shirt to put on. I was just getting it all when I heard the door open behind me.

"So... do you want cake?" I heard her ask and I smiled before turning to see her in a nightgown now that was almost as open as her robe.

"Yes please. I will change again." I told her and showed her my night clothes and she nodded. We switched places again, this time touching skin to skin and I had to hold back my wolf from growling at the heavenly touch.

We were wolves, touch was key to being turned on, comforted, loved, protected... everything. 

If we were to sleep in the same bed I could only hope that my wolf stayed in it's cage and didn't come out of nowhere and scare her. I had to give him a little talking to, reminding him that she wasn't ready for us that way, that we might not be ready for her that way.

I was basically talking to myself as I told the wolf over and over in my head to stay quiet. I was in there so long telling him to back off that I heard her knock and ask if everything was ok.

I straightened and walked out with a smile on my face.

"Just fine. Slightly tired from the long journey." I told her and she nodded slowly. "Cake and then bed?" I asked and she nodded a lot faster this time.

We ate the cake at her little table and we talked about the differences of Russia running and here. I had to admit, I liked it here, going up the mountain was a little challenging for her but for my wolf he loved the thinning air.

I laid in bed after brushing my teeth, we had tried to do it together but again, her bathroom was really small so we both didn't fit. I went, and now she was going. I was in the bed, making sure I fit in that. It would be tight and we would have to cuddle.... but that was hardly a hardship.

My mate, as she came out and let down her hair... she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. More that I expected, or ever dreamed of. The moon goddess, The Great Luna... she really knows what she is doing.
