Raya’s POV
I sat up so fast my head spun, causing me to feel dizzy and lean to the side a bit. Hunter sat up as well, gripping my shoulders with his large hands to steady me. My mind was still trying to process what he had just confessed to me.
“What do you mean, he ordered you to sleep with me?”
“It started when I asked him if he had told you my wolf’s name. When he realized you knew it without being told, he ordered me to stay clear of you. He allowed you to go to Blake’s room and had Blake check and see if you were a witch while you were there. You don’t possess the magic of a witch, but you hold the blessings of a goddess. He knew you would strengthen him, so he decided to claim you. However, he couldn't be completely bound to you by taking your virginity,” he said with sorrowful eyes. This wasn’t something he wanted to do,
Dane's POV "Good, now do it again, but focus even harder. Really dig deep and feel what he's feeling," Barret instructed me, having continued our training. Apparently there are a total of 7 things I could do with the ability to control the moonlight. Right now we were focused on the easier ones, this one being Lunar Empathy, as Bennett called it when he explained it to Garret and I last night. Lunar Empathy allowed us to understand and feel the emotions of other wolves using the moonlight to draw them out and feel it. With this you don't glow from within, it's more like you sense the power of the moon inside of them through their wolves. It was complicated to understand fully, but once we started putting it into practice it became clear. I was trying to feel the emotions of a guard stationed outside t
Raya’s POV My mind was overwhelmed with the rapid succession of unexpected events. Each new obstacle came crashing down on me like a wave, leaving me gasping for breath and struggling to make sense of it all. Garret was standing right in front of me, but it couldn't have been possible. I thought I was going crazy when Garret spoke directly to me and no one else seemed to see or hear him. However, as soon as Blake walked into the room, he looked straight at Garret without any confusion on his face. But when Blake spoke, he acted as if Garret weren't there at all. It's official, I'm insane. I miss him so much and felt so scared that my mind just manifested him. "We have a plan. I have suppressed Hunter's wolf so he can resist the Alpha order longer. We're helping you escape. I can't do this anymore, Raya. I can't bear witness to the way Elliot will treat
Raya’s POVA shrill cry, unmistakably Blake's, reverberated in the air and pierced my soul. Adrenaline coursed through my veins, and I was off like lightning — feet moving before I could make sense of what was happening. My heart pounded in my ears as I raced back to Blake's side. He stared at me, eyes wide with shock, as if he couldn't believe I had made it back so quickly."Selene?" he whispered, unsure."What? No, it's me." I furrowed my brow at him, wondering if maybe he'd hit his head."Raya?" He sounded so surprised, like he would have never guessed it was me."Of course. Who else?"My heart raced as I grabbed Blake's wrist, sprinting with
Dane’s POV “Are you sure he’s going to help her?” I asked Garret for the hundredth time as we geared to head to the Lunaris pack lands. “For fuck’s sake! Yes, Dane, I am sure!” he said with a roll of his eyes, clearly over my doubting him. “Okay, let’s go.” Bennett, Garret, and I strode out, leaving Barrett in charge. As we stepped into the moonlight, I felt it: a new energy coursing through me and Lucian that was brighter than ever before. It seemed to ignite us from within, sending sparks of power up my spine that set my fur on fire. I stopped for a moment, taken aback by this flood of energy suddenly coursing through us. Could this be the culmination of our moon training? Whatever it was, I was energized and ready.
Raya’s POV He asked me the questions I was most afraid of. Of course I wanted to be his mate, but the threat of his goddess given mate showing up hung heavy over my head. I would love nothing more than to be his and he be mine, but can I really handle it when he inevitably leaves me for his mate? “Of course I want to, Dane. I want to so badly, but I’m scared,” I admitted, staring at my hands. Dane slowly reached his hand out, gently grabbing my chin and turning me so that I was looking into his golden eyes. I had missed those eyes, this hand, his presence, all of him. “What if you find your mate?” “You are mate,” he responded instantly, not a sliver of hesitation. “I am almost certain you are my goddess given mate, but even if you weren’t, you’re the only one for me, Raya.”
Raya’s POVDane was gentle, working me up a bit more before he pressed the head of his erection against my entrance. He slowly began to enter me, filling and stretching me to my limit. It felt more than uncomfortable…painful even. But Dane was gentle and slow, giving me time to adjust with each inch. He warned me as he hit my barrier, slowly breaking my hymen. It hurt for a brief moment before the pleasure began to ripple through me.It felt as if my body were on fire, coursing lava through my veins. Every cell in my body was bursting with desire. I'd never felt so hungry…so lustful before. My fingers dug deep into Dane's thick back muscles as he began his rhythmic thrusts. My hips swayed of their own accord, my body doing its natural thing. Not a thought crossed my mind as I blissfully enjoyed Dane's manhood pulling in and out of me.&
Raya's POV"You see my dear, Raya, when your first brother was born I had a pack created, one I bestowed immense power to. Each time Orion and I would have a child they would make their way to this pack to rule and be protected. My children are not made to have kids of their own, so once they die of old age, the alpha rules until the next child of mine comes. During the absence of one of my children, a terrible warlock was chosen for the pack. He got too power hungry and killed the Alpha and Luna, leaving your mate to float down the river.""Dane is my actual mate?" I know there was so many important things she had just said, but my mind chose to focus on that bit first."Yes, sweetheart. Since you are now to be my last child with Orion, you will be my only child able to bear children, leaving descendants with
Dane's POVI would have raged a whole war to get Raya back. Yet here she is, riding on my back as I take her back to the pack we are meant to rule together. Marking Raya was the beginning of my life. Now that I know for sure she's my goddess given mate, I know I'll be totally consumed by her. It hasn't hit me as hard yet because Lucian doesn't feel the goddess mate bond just yet, but we will tomorrow after the ceremony.Raya will consume my every thought. Although, that's not much of a difference from now. Raya is always on my mind, morning, noon, and night. I would have never imagined that she would be Selene's daughter. Who could have possibly guessed that she would be my mate and make me king to my birth pack? Ruling with Raya will be the best thing to ever happen in my life. She
