Luna felt her body respond to his touch, like a lion being tamed, her heart began to steady and that stress that had formed was fading away. "Even if I turn into a swamp monster?" she asked with a raised brow but there was a clear smile on her face now and she leaned in to kiss him but the sound of the door opening made her pull back and they both cleared their throats in unison. Neither of them wanting to start of this meeting with a public display of affection waiting for the members. Normally she would have taken a seat beside him but as his arm wrapped protectively around her waist she remained sitting there. Watching as members filtered in and gave several of them a smile, especially Gabbie when she came in but fell silent as Dymitrius spoke to the room as a whole. Whenever he used his alpha voice it made her ooze respect for him but it never intimidated her.
Connor shot down every name that Gabbie said, none of them sounded right not for such precious lives that were due to into this world at some point this month. Their names needed to scream power, confidence, independence and possibly most important, kindness. Nothing simple like Joe, Ben or Sue would suffice. Wrapping his arm around his wife he kept her close as they hurried into the cabin, nodding his head slightly at a few of the others that had arrived but a cheeky smirk appeared on his lips at the sight of his brother and Luna, Can't get enough of your new wolf? he said into D's head as he took his own seat. Not everyone was in attendance, especially none of the younger members, considering the seriousness of what they were about to discuss.
Roman waited until Dymitrius had addressed the room at large before he rose to his feet, a bow of his head to both his alpha and his luna, "Firstly, I speak on behalf of everyone in this room, we are all ecstatic to have Luna as our luna. It's a great privilege to have such powerful leadership for this tribe." But as he finished speaking there was a grumble from the other side of the room and all eyes turned to the wolf that had muttered under his breath.
Sierra had muttered under her breath at Roman's words and everyone had turned to her so she rose to her feet effortlessly. Her eyes flashed at Connor, like they so often did during these meetings even after he had made it clear that things between them had been a mistake. Looking back to Dymitrius she bowed her head slightly before speaking, "Roman does not speak for all of us, there are some that are weary about what exactly you have created. You went against ancient law by turning a species other than human, she could be a liability."
