#Chapter20

I ran a hand down the back of my head. “Sorry about that,” I said shamefully.

He looked everywhere but at me. “It’s alright. Are you ok?”

I nodded my head. “Oh yes, I am fine. Thank you.” I gave him a small smile. The way he had looked at me a moment ago made me feel a bit uncomfortable in his presence now.

Calyx gave me a curt nod. “Good, what had you so distracted?” He asked curiously.

“The paintings on the walls. Some of them are very beautiful.” I said honestly; they were colourful and filled with so much detail; it was like they told a story.

Calyx looked around at the paintings, but one in particular, he seemed to focus on the most “Yes, some of them are, and some…are dark and ugly.” He said in a cold tone.

“True, but so are some people, and yet, they are still admired and cherished.” I pointed out to him, hoping he would catch onto who I was talking about.

“Good point. Anyways, shall we continue to the kitchen?”

Just as Calyx asked that question, my stom

    #Chapter21His one hand rested on my hip while the other gripped the back of my neck, and he deepened the kiss. I moaned into his mouth, causing him to growl in satisfaction from my reaction. Cain began kissing my neck, slowly moving down; his soft lips hovered over the spot where he would mark me, he rubbed his nose along the area, ever so gently, and my wolf purred with excitement. Finally, Cain dragged the top of his canines along the spot, and that was when I realized what was going on; he was going to try and mark me! Like fuck I was going to let that happen! Cain was probably hoping that it would make me more compliant if he marked me. “Cain, stop it,” I shouted as I attempted to shove him away, but he just wrapped me in his arms and held me tightly to him and started licking the spot.“Cain, I said fucking stop!” I roared at him as I tried with all my might to free myself. He stilled and began groaning, “When are you going to come to terms with the fact that we are mates?”

    #Chapter22I tried to shake off the uneasy feeling as I got dressed, it felt like I wasn’t alone, but there was no one in the bathroom with me. So I cautiously entered the bedroom and looked around the room, noticing that I was still alone. I felt relieved but also a little crazy. Am I starting to lose it?I walked over to the balcony doors, but they were locked, which ruined my plan of going outside and looking at the stars. So instead, I stared out the windows but couldn’t really see anything. I needed to get some sleep anyway, so I climbed into the bed and shut off the lights. I closed my eyes and tried to turn off my mind, but that was pointless, as the silence was daunting and caused my brain to race even more. I tossed and turned, trying my hardest to get to sleep. After some time, I finally got comfortable and started to feel very sleepy. But, just as I was about to doze off, I heard footsteps and voices outside the bedroom door.Being the nosy bitch I am, I quietly got out

    #Chapter23I kept running as fast as my legs would take me, my lungs were burning, and the air was depleting from me. Finally, I stopped, needing to catch my breath. I looked around me and saw no one and heard nothing. Thinking I was safe for a few moments, I inspected my body, looking for cuts, bruises or anything. I had some bruising throughout my whole body, some cuts and scrapes here and there. But as my hands roamed my body, I felt two puncture marks on the lower part of my neck. It was hard to determine as I couldn’t see, but they felt like bite marks. Fuck! What the hell is going on. I stopped my inspection as I heard a branch snap to my right, then my left, I could hear shuffling within the trees, but I couldn’t see anything. “Who’s out there?” I shouted into the forest.No response, but whoever was there was getting closer to me.“I’m warning you! You are picking a fight with the wrong person.” My heart was thumping in my chest now.Still no response. However, I saw thos

    #Chapter24I laughed, maybe a bit too much, causing him to scowl at me, which made me laugh even more. “Sorry, I don’t mean to laugh. Ok, maybe I did. But I think you’ve had too much to drink.”Cain wagged his finger at me. “No, I haven’t had enough to drink. You’ve had too much to drink.” His words were slurred, and his cheeks were flushed now. I pursed my lips and shook my head at him. “Yea, ok there, buddy, you keep telling yourself that. Maybe we should get back to bed.” I suggested. He pouted, “But I don’t want to.” Cain said in a child-like manner. I stood from my chair and walked towards him, taking his drink. “Well, too bad, you big baby. It’s time for night, nights.” Cain rolled his eyes. “Fine! Party pooper.” He said as he stuck his tongue out at me. I raised an eyebrow. “Really? You are so childish,” I said while shaking my head at the large man-baby before me. I had never seen this side of him, and to be honest, I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than the othe

    #Chapter25His hand continued to make its way down my body, all the way to the seam of my pants. Cain traced his fingers along the waistband of my pants, ever so gently, teasing and toying with my hot, sensitive skin. Cain then reached under my pants and glided his fingers along the seam of my underwear, causing me to tremble and squeeze my thighs together. Next, he rubbed my hot, soaking core over top of my underwear with his index finger. The friction made everything more intense; my pussy was throbbing, swollen and aching for more. My juices were soaking through my underwear, which made him groan with approval upon feeling the thin fabric that separated his hand from my folds.He continued to rub circles on my clit, which was becoming agonizing now. Still, even through my lust-filled haze, something in the back of my mind was telling me to stop this, as I haven’t entirely accepted Cain as my mate yet, but there was also a voice telling me to continue, to accept my fate with him.

    #Chapter26I continued to stare when I heard the door creak open. I whipped around to find Calyx standing there.“What are you doing in here?” He questioned in a sharp tone. I shrugged. “I couldn’t sleep. So, I was snooping around and found this beautiful place.” I said, gesturing around the room. His expression turned neutral. “You shouldn’t be snooping around, especially by yourself.” He attempted to assert himself. I waved him off. “Yea, yea. Who are these people?” I pointed towards the portraits above the fireplace. Calyx sighed. “Those are mine and Cain’s parents. My mother Kasdeya, and my father, Langston. They died a few years ago during a battle with another pack.” He stood there for a moment, staring longingly at the painting of his mother; a look of sorrow featured his expression. I glanced between him and the paintings. “Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. What were they like? If you don’t mind me asking.”He gave me a half-smile “My mother; was amazing, radiant, clas

    #Chapter27I walked over to the balcony doors and peered out. The sun was shining, and the birds were singing; it was going to be a beautiful day. So I decided to go out onto the balcony and enjoy a bit of fresh air while I waited for Cain. I loved the outdoors; it brought me peace, calmness and serenity, just as it did my wolf, causing her to chuff in approval. I looked around the yard, and in the very far corner, I noticed what looked like a training camp; I’ll have to ask Cain about that. I haven’t trained since coming here, and I want to maintain my physical shape. Hopefully, they have archery. I crave to feel the bow in my hand, the arrow between my fingers and hear the sound of the bowstring being released.I was enjoying the sun when Cain snuck up behind me. “What are you doing out here? You should not be out here alone, especially after what happened.” He scolded me. “I’m fine. I’m a big girl, and I can take care of myself, just as I have, long before you came along.” I i

    #Chapter28After finishing breakfast, Calyx took me to the archery range; it was much larger than the one we had back home. There were numerous targets ready to be fired at and various bows and arrows. Ok, I take it back; this is my favourite place now, not the bathroom. As I stood there, drooling over everything, Eve approached us. My wolf's hackles raised as she began growling at the venomous woman coming towards us. “Hey Calyx, did you bring her down here to put her out of our misery.” She said, smiling from ear to ear. Calyx let out a low growl “Eve, I’m warning you. One more snarky remark like that, and you will be stripped of your title and placed on toilet duty for a month.” He said with a smirk. She huffed. “Whatever, Calyx. Have fun, bitch.”I shook my head at her stupid words. However, I didn’t retort back; I just considered using her as a target, which may hurt my reputation. Also, I was sure Cain wouldn’t be too happy with me, and I didn’t need any more of his shi

    #Chapter171People started to approach, congratulating us and bombarding us with questions. Suddenly, I felt sick to my stomach, and my head felt fuzzy, as my vision doubled. I looked up at Cain. “I need to use the washroom,” I said quickly, then spun on my heel, practically running towards the bathroom. I made it to the bathroom and hurled the contents of my stomach into the cold porcelain toilet. Once I was finished, I stood from the floor and leaned over the sink, steadying myself. I closed my eyes and attempted to regulate my breathing and erratic heart rate. As I opened my eyes again, I was no longer in the bathroom but back in the forest of the damned and standing before the willow tree. I glanced around frantically, wondering what the fuck was going on. Helena appeared out of nowhere, scaring the life out of me and causing me to gasp. “Holy shit! You scared me.” I shouted at her. She raised a brow and gave me a deadpan stare. “Watch that tongue of yours.” Helena scolded m

    #Chapter170Things had been going well for Cain and me since our ceremony. We couldn’t get enough of each other, taking advantage of every opportunity we had to devour one another. Then, the day after our mating, we had Samara and Eve’s funeral, saying our goodbyes and laying them to rest. It was a beautiful farewell; friends and family had gathered around, saying something about the fallen pack members before Cain put them into the ground. Due to their crimes, Cain and I had decided to do things differently regarding a funeral for Calyx, Adela and Erik. Aside from what they had done, they were family and deserved a proper burial. So we decided to bury the trio on the border of both packs and kept things modest, saying a simple goodbye before coating their bodies in soil.As time went on, I slowly learned how things worked around here and adapted to my duties as Luna. Things were a bit rough for a while, but Cain was supportive and guided me through things, being patient with me as

    #Chapter169Violet grabbed my hand before leading me out of the bedroom, through the halls and out the back doors. She abruptly stopped as we exited through the doors. “I need to cover your eyes.” She told me. I furrowed my brows. “Why?” I asked hesitantly. She gave me a warm and comforting smile. “Just trust me.” Violet requested of me, and although I was reluctant, I did trust her. I nodded and allowed her to cover my eyes with her hand, knowing that I would be safe with her. Violet held my hand in hers and guided me through the yard, warning me of any obstacles in my way, so I didn’t trip and make a fool of myself. Not knowing where we were going or what the fuck was going on made me feel quite uneasy. My heart rate increased, my chest rising and falling heavily, as we continued to walk. I huffed in frustration, becoming impatient now. “I don’t like this, you know,” I told Violet honestly, and she chuckled at me. Did she think I was joking?After a few moments, we finally

    #Chapter168His upper lip twitched before his lips curled up and into a smile. Cain entangled his hand within my hair, gripping the strands with his fingers, and he closed the distance between us, capturing my lips with his. Cain lifted me up and off his lap. He laid down on the cool sheets, flat on his back and pulled me into him, wrapping his arm tightly around me as he yanked me closer to him, leaving no space between us. Cain kissed the top of my head, lingering there for a moment. Both of us were comfortable, feeling content in each other's arms as the heavyweight of sleep wrapped around us. This moment almost felt surreal, like everything was a dream. Cain had nearly died, I had almost lost him, and I could’ve died, to be honest, a piece of me did. I got Cain back, but I had lost something that meant just as much to me as he does. I could only hope that she was alright and happy wherever she was. I woke up, and the bed was empty; slight panic stirred within me, as I didn’t

    #Chapter167“I think you need to be taught a lesson.” He said in a seductive and husky tone. I squeezed my thighs together as the lust for him grew. “Yes, I do,” I whispered, and Cain released a satisfactory growl before nipping my ear. He reared back, then flipped me over and onto my back. Cain straddled me, careful not to put his full weight on me and then ripped my shirt in half. I wasn’t wearing a bra, and he seemed pleased with this, as a smile spread across those plump lips while he cupped my breasts in his hands and rolled my nipples between his thumb and forefinger. Cain stood from the bed and removed what was left of my shirt. He ripped the torn fabric in half again before flipping me back onto my stomach. Then, straddling me once again, Cain tied my hands together with a piece of the shirt before tying the other end to the bed post. My panties were soaked from my juices, as the desire to have him was stronger than ever. Once he was finished tying me, he rubbed his hand

    #Chapter166He turned on his heel and walked to the door, hesitantly opening it. Gunnar shot me one more glance before leaving the room and closing the door behind him. Once he was gone, I laid down on the bed, letting more tears stream down my face again. I screamed internally at the anger and grief that was consuming my mind and body. I sucked in a deep breath, trying to calm myself and decided to have a shower. I got up from the bed and started walking to the bathroom but stopped, my eyes drifting towards the balcony doors. I walked over to the doors, whipping them open and stepped outside. There was a storm brewing in the sky, and it was now raining. I stood there, the rain soaking my body, and I fell to my knees. As I rubbed my hands down my face, feeling more overwhelmed and distraught by the second, I looked to the sky and asked why? Just as I expected, I got no response, no answers, and I felt more lost than I ever have in my life. I closed my eyes and slowly stood to my f

    #Chapter165I peered down at Cain, my eyes taking in his exhausted features. Cain wasn’t wearing a shirt, only a blanket covering him. I slid the blanket down, revealing his once muscular physique and seeing him in such a withering state made my chest ache. My hand glided along his skin, stopping above his heart, and I could feel his weakened heart slowly beat against my palm. I reached down for the powder and opened the bottle before sprinkling the yellow substance onto his chest. Then, just as Helena instructed, I grabbed the moon rock next and placed it on top of the powder, in the center of his chest. I closed my eyes for a beat and sucked in a deep breath, trying to calm my frazzled nerves. Next, I repeated the words she told me. “Death be no more and life come forth,” I said aloud, my voice cracking slightly. I then sat back and watched him curiously. My eyes frantically searched Cain’s statuesque frame for any movement, but there was nothing. His chest began to rise and fal

    #Chapter164Erik’s arm tightened around my neck, and things were starting to go black. However, I refused to die, not today and not by his hand. I closed my eyes and reminded myself of who I was, that I am a fucking warrior. I lifted my arm and elbowed Erik in the stomach, causing him to release me. He stumbled backwards and clutched his stomach, but that only lasted for a second before he stood to his full height again, glaring daggers at me. I looked around the ground and spotted a large, fallen tree branch. I hurriedly picked up the branch and swung it at him furiously. However, Erik found this amusing and started to laugh at my feeble attempt to attack him. I swung at him again, the branch brushing against his chest this time, and his playful expression quickly vanished. Erik leapt forward, coming straight for me, but he didn’t get too far, as suddenly, he was lifted from the ground. Gunnar stood there, black eyes and snarling viciously, as he held Erik by the throat off the g

    #Chapter163Erik towered over me, and his lip twitched upwards in disgust as his eyes held darkness to them. I dug my hands into the cool earth and backed away from him, but the further I got, the closer he came. Finally, I tried to get up from the ground, and Erik kicked me back down with his boot. I stilled, deciding to stay where I was and instead propped myself up onto my elbows. “What the fuck, Erik?” My tone's anger and the hurt of his betrayal only grew. His upper lip curled into a snarl as he narrowed his eyes. “That cure is coming with me.” He growled out, his tone deep and demanding. I snorted and then gave him a deadpan stare. “Over my dead body.” Even though I was shitting my pants right now, as he had an advantage over me, I refused to let him take what was rightfully mine. I had earned this cure and gave up a piece of myself in the process, just to get it. Erik stepped closer, his feet on either side of my legs now, trapping me in my place, before stopping and sn
