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
Raya's POVThis pack was so beautiful, more than I could have ever imagined, but I could feel their pain mixed in with their pride. There was something keeping them from being truly happy. I've determined that I will figure out what it is and help solve it. These are my people now too, and I will help Dane rule with understanding and power.Dane held me close through the night, but I could feel his insatiable hunger for me. Honestly, I was feeling it, too, but was too sore to act on it. I am hoping that doesn’t last long, because I want him all the time. I awoke to a beautifully colorful ray of sunshine through the large glass stained window. When I saw the large window yesterday, I was extremely happy. The small drab windows at the Eclipse Moon Pack were not missed in the slightest. However, my chest did tighten when I thought of Hunter. I wish the
Dane's POVI wanted to be buried deep inside her already. Garret's wake up call this morning ruined all plans to have her any sooner than now. Lucian was purring inside me, hungry for our mate as well. Her lips were puffy and swollen from my sucking on them, but she seemed just as eager for me to insert myself into her. Her arousal was thick in the air, only calling me to her further.I pressed the head of my erection. We were dressed for the most part. Her dress bunched over her hips, only showing me her milky legs and tantalizing center. Feeling how sleek she was, I slowly inserted myself, loving the embrace of her tight walls. The sounds she made only spurred me on further until I was deep inside her warmth.Her back arched in pleasure as she began to sway her hips over me. My heart felt full with her
Raya’s POVIf I had ever felt beautiful in my life, standing in the same room as this woman made the feeling disappear entirely. She was tall and skinny with beautiful curves, but there wasn’t an inch of weakness to her. Her muscles flexed as she crossed her arms at Garret and narrowed her eyes at him. Whoever she was, it was clear she wasn’t intimidated by anyone. Not only that, she knew she was beautiful and she flaunted it. Her shirt dove between her breast and up over her stomach, meeting in a knot in the center over her abdomen. It revealed her toned abs and her large breasts.“You’re so infuriating.” Garret huffed, clearly realizing he was not going to win.“I never said I wasn’t.” She rolled her eyes, unaffected by Garret’s words. “
Dane’s POVFor some reason, I was really nervous as I paced around my room. Raya was smiling at me, obviously amused. She had never seen me nervous before and I think she found it rather cute. She wore her white robe with silver swirl patterns throughout as I adorned a black one with the same silver pattern. It was as if she were the moon and I the starry night she sat on.Her beauty really knows no bounds. I'm the luckiest man alive to have her as my mate. I really can't wait to truly feel the goddess mate bond tonight. Our bond is already so strong, consuming me whole, but I know it will only intensify after the ceremony. I'm ready for it.“You’re going to do great,” she said, trying to comfort me. Her small hand reached for mine as I wa
Elliot’s POV“Where is she?” I yelled at the lowly wolves around me. As usual Hunter hung back in a corner, silent.“We lost track of her in the woods after she–” Brenda paused, seeming unsure of what she was about to say.“Spit it out!” My patience was low. I wanted Raya found this instant. She is mine, meant to be with me by my side. Her blessing could help this pack more than any of them know. The moon can heal curses and if Raya really is blessed, as the oracle said, then her blessing could help weaken this curse on us all.“She changed, Alpha. Her hair whitened and she began to wield magic. I was pushed back into a tree by the air itself. I am not sure what she is, but her scent changed as well.
Raya’s POV“What do you think? Should we get it?” Dane asked as we looked down at the blue sapphire necklace. It matched Amaya’s eyes so well, I thought it would make a good gift. I missed her already, but I spoke to her when I could.“I think she’d like it.” I nodded.Dane and I had woken up this morning in pure bliss. Granted, my body was hurting all over, but last night was well worth it. It was as if Dane could read my mind and give me exactly what I wanted. Now I understand why Amaya had so many hookups. Sex is amazing!After breakfast, Dane insisted we walk around and get to know the area better before my ceremony tonight. It made sense to me, as we really should know our people better. Everyone was so friendly
Hunter’s POVI watched in horror from atop the wall as the red hooded sorcerers stood in a semi circle in front of our fortress. I knew all too well what sorcerers were capable of. The vampires I once lived with would hire one often. The smell alone is enough to ward you off them. It’s the same smell as a decaying corpse left in the hot sun. I tried not to inhale too deeply, feeling my nose wrinkle at the stench as it was carried in the air.“What do you want?” Elliot yelled down. I know he was scared, feeling it through our bond, but his tone did not give him away. I dare say he sounded even more powerful than usual. It was clear that Callis was on the surface, as he had been for most of our earlier conversation. Callis is becoming increasingly stronger with every passing moon, and I know the day will soon come when I lose my dear
